    Wasn't clean found a half frozen pizza in the mini fridge. The floor was filthy wasn't vacuum the table was sticky I had to go buy disinfect wipes to clean my room. The bathroom was not sweept or mopped I used a disinfectant wipes to clean it then put a towel down in the tub on the floor and had something on my feet at all given times. Then we went for a walk and as soon as you took a left in front of the place by the pool you had people there doing whatever they was doing they should keep them away from the area. Only one chair in the room at the table so only one person can sit and eat who ever else has to eat on your bed. I can't forget they had the heat turned off and we was so cold first knight second night we turned off the air so it can be warm at knight

    Close to the beach and the store

    Pics are deceiving. Very seedy vibe at hotel. Shower had low pressure valve on it to where you couldn't even get shampoo out of your hair. Needs updated and thoroughly cleaned. Couldn't use wifi or laundry facilities. If this place was overhauled just a small bit it would be wonderful. Wish the pool had been open but it was seasonal. However, like I said the pics are deceiving and the rooms were not as promised.

    That air conditioner wasn't working well and made the floor wet. Food particles and wrapper under one of the queen beds. The bed by the window part of the box spring was hanging to the floor broken. Also loose shower head.

    The facility is very old and there's people living there. It's an apartment and a motel at the same time. I never knew it was like that. The people living there were so rude, they're screaming and fighting and woke us up before 7 in the morning. It was a bad experience. I should have thought about getting something more expensive if that's what I'm going to get, you know.

    It's close to the beach and it's near the strip where you can walk around.

    the pictures on the website were deceiving. the property was a mess and it makes sense now why we paid so little for our stay. there were old shoes under the bed, a chair that was held together by string, a weird stench, and management that almost allowed other guests into our room. we were so grossed out by the condition of the room that we never pulled the comforter down and slept on top of the bed and we always made sure to wear shoes in the room. it served its purpose as a place to sleep for the night, but i will not be booking here again.

    the location. that is it.

    Upon arrival I turned on the air as Virginia was reaching 70° during January. After I decent amount of time of letting it run, I realized it wasn’t working properly. I went back to the front desk advised him that our room was not cooling off properly. That’s when I was advised that the air had been shut off throughout the building, I could only use heat. Unfortunately, since it is an upstairs room and 70° outside I wouldn’t be needing the heat. I advised the person at the front desk that I would attempt to look elsewhere for a room that offered air-conditioning. He said I only had one hour from Check In to cancel the reservation and I could either have my money back or accept a box fan for the evening. While paying over $100 for a room without air-conditioning was not ideal it was nearly impossible to find another room with the same accommodations on New Year’s Eve in Virginia Beach so I had to stay in the room instead of driving back home with my family. I did request some sort of compensation be it $10-$20 from the front desk but he told me he would need to speak to his manager and get back with me. The following day as I was checking out, I asked the new desk attendant if he had heard anything in regards to my compensation, he advised me “no”. I told him that I spoke to the gentleman yesterday that was at the desk and he was supposed to speak to the manager to get me some sort of compensation. It was at that point I found out the person at the front desk that declined the compensation was, in fact, the manager himself as per the employee at the desk at the time of checkout. With all of this being said would I stay again? Most likely now that I know what I’m getting myself into mid winter. However, I would make other accommodations if the weather was to be to warm. However, I do think they need to brush up on their business practices as I think it’s a little deceiving to not advertise lack of accommodations be it air, towels, toilet paper, etc.

    I’ve stayed here previously and was happy so I returned with more guests and a bigger room to bring in the new year. It is, for lack of better words, a motel 6, no frills motel, which I’m okay with.

    The place is not as clean as expected, even when the room are smoking free rooms, people is allowed to smoke outside their room which is bad for non smokers and their kids, in our case, we had to walk through a cloud of smoke.

    The staff at check in was great, polite and able to provide extra assistance to us.

    While it had a full sized fridge, the other rooms have a mini fridge & I could have cooked-I would have needed to provide everything, it's not like a timeshare condo. There was nothing that indicated that the pool was closed. It's an old hotel & has been allowed to go very downhill. This was a hotel once featured on post cards- I used to be local & I am that old. They need to get the tubs reglazed/replaced & items damaged by it's more recent past replaced. It clearly looks like it was allowed to become a cheap place for hospitality workers to live & relax.

    I was given an upgrade/clearly the cleaning staff hadn't planned on that room being used. Decent little efficiency, for the price. The two staff people I spoke to were lovely & very helpful. It seems to be under new ownership-hopefully that will allow positive changes. This is great location if you want a budget oriented FAMILY vacation. A church across the street, 2 blocks to the beach, 2 blocks to the amusement park. It's in a more wholesome area IF they get it back up to a 'family friendly' image

    Some of the people were not polite. The pool was either locked or if open, disgusting. It was filled with algae, it hadn't been cleaned, and was never unlocked.

    The bed was very comfortable. A man there named Al was very helpful.

    Room was clean but the couch and the carpet had many stains. Wall outlets wouldnt hold a plug in. Some outlets were uncovered. Everything needs updated (extremely) to make this place worth the price, despite the location.

    Stayed here for the weekend as we decided to extend our vacation a few days. Staff was nice, and we didn't really have any issues. The location was nice/close to the beach. Not terrible for a night or 2.
