Reviews
The hotel has a great location close to the beach and friendly staff, but it is outdated and in need of renovation. Some guests have reported issues with cleanliness and maintenance.

there was a stove but nothing to cook with in there, i wasn’t informed you had to bring pots and pans, booking didn’t have the right rating to pay so i had to pay an extra $20 every night i was staying there

Location was perfect… My stay here was a very bad experience. The room was not clean, and the entire place smelled strongly of cigarettes. Even the bed had a cigarette odor, which made it impossible to sleep comfortably. The overall cleanliness was poor. I cannot recommend this hotel unless they take serious steps to improve room hygiene and air quality i had two little kids they have to check it twice before giving it to me.

Wonderful pool. Good parking. Good location close to beach but not amidst noise or chaos. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. If you need “posh”, you may not like it, but if you need a comfortable quiet place to shower and crash, it is a good and very affordable place. I stayed an extra night and would choose to go back there if I stayed at VA Beach again.

Lady at check in was very nice bathroom had a lot of stains and nothing looked clean, door hinge was broken and cut my dads arm open. went down to front desk for a bandaid and was told “I dont think we have a first aid kit here” and then they didn’t even give us extra rags to help clean up the blood so we probably just added to their stain collection…

The staff was pleasant at first WE found bed bugs in the room. They said we would have to go through booking.com to get a refund after I showed them the video, They are now refusing the refund and said the cleaning lady didn't find any bed bugs, which is not true. Im sure they rented the room to someone the next day. Very dirty

Absolutely nothing I walked in and the room smelled like cigarettes and had cigarettes holes in the sheets and on the floor. I immediately due to how disgusting it was checked the sheets and bathroom. The sheets had literal blood and human pubes (see photos) I felt dirty just standing in the room. The desk receptionist seemed like she was on crack. I’m not even exaggerating this was literally the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I informed them and showed the cleaning lady the room. I was told no refunds despite the below pictures. I get no refund if the room was clean but this was just disgusting. I left the key in the room and left immediately. I had to sleep in my car which is unacceptable. DO NOT STAY HERE.

Close to the beach, restaurants, and bars Extremely outdated and dirty. no shampoo/conditioner and the comforter felt extremely moist. The stairways always smelled like urine. I can hear children running around outside in the walkway of the motel. My friend had the same opinions as I did. I’m definitely paying the extra $200 to stay at a more premium location.

The staff was very perfessional and very nice and helpful! The room had a board off the wall and it was just laying in the closet. The kitchen closet when we opened it someone had just swept crumbs and trash in there and left it. One bedroom had a needle syringe cap in the closet. Gross. Outside when we were walking to the beach we seen a needle on the ground. Very nasty and sick when u have kids. The pool was nice and the staff was awesome but the room was not the cleanest. Maids need to clean up alittle better in my opinion and make sure theyre is nothing that kids shouldnt see in the rooms or property. The office area looked really clean. Our room had NO bugs. Air conditioning worked very well and was only a couple min walk to the beach and the gas station. I enjoyed it for the most part.

It was a non smoking room that smelled like an ash tray. I complained to front desk. My daughter is asthmatic and she couldn't breath in the room. There were people drinking and playing loud music in the parking lot. We ssked for a different room but were told there were none. So they offered to reimburse us but never got my money back.

Not bad for just a one night stay. But i believe it could be a little expensive for how they maintain the rooms.

It was a good location not on the board walk but all you have to do is walk across the street and you’re there don’t have to drive or find parking because you’re basically on the strip the on the other hand the stairwells smelled of pee and where dirty seen a couple of roaches the first night but nothing else afterwards have a small kitchenette just a stovetop and you have to bring your own cooking ware and have a mini fridge so you can’t store much in there overall it wasn’t all that bad except there’s no WiFi so if you need it you won’t get it there the manager was nice and accommodated and made arrangements for me to make me feel better they do have good service and the room service guy was nice I knew what time to expect him every morning asking if I needed anything

Stairs real of urine. Parking lot might as well have a sign advertising it is the drug capital of the city. Cops were called to the parking lot during our stay from excessive screaming I assume. Hair on bed upon arrival. Paid extra for a non smoking room, we all head head aches the first night because it was clearly a smoking room (with ash tray). Bed was hard, pillows hurt, foods looked like they had multiple break in attempts. One positive: All staff were incredibly friendly. I wish I was able to get a refund. It was expensive for the quality of the room and location.

I was extremely happy with the 2 nights I stayed here. It is a little out of date, but for the price, friendliness & helpfulness of the staff, and the fact that it is literally 2 blocks to the boardwalk & beach, you just can't beat it. If I ever go again, I won't even look at any other motels because I was perfectly happy with this one!

This Inn is greatly priced compared to others in the area. Only had one issue, which was taken care of immediately. Have stayed here multiple times now. Will be back again as well. Only suggestion would be better mattresses. All the staff is wonderful (the owner, the maintenance man, cleaning staff and office staff)! Staff even gives great recommendations.

There were many strange people in the hallways and on the stairs, lying on the floor and the stairs had urine. They did not have wifi, as specified in the services it offers. It has an excellent location, close to everything.

It was a perfect location for our 2 day vacation. Couldn't beat the price! Condition of the room weren't too good. Definitely needs some renovation. I was a little disappointed for not having a flat screen TV in my room. The other rooms I saw when I was walking by had one. Location is good though! About 2-3 mins walk from boardwalk!

Outdated room, terrible beds, smelly stairwells, faucets in the bathroom were broken(i had to fix the bathtub to make it shut off). Few outlets, there was a door to the adjourning room that was unlocked on my side, they put a chair in front of it. The lock didn't work on the outside door. Light switch by the door did nothing. Sketchy persons everywhere on the property, smoking and being loud. I would never stay here again. They need to spend some money and fix it up, maybe that would get rid of some of the trashy people. The front desk people were very nice. Cleaning people were rude, i said hello to be nice and they ignored me. NO WIFI!!

The location was the only good thing about this hotel. Were it not situated one block from the beach I would have given it one star. The a/c was loud and the room door appeared to have been recently kicked in and poorly repaired. The bed was very hard and the room looked old and dingy. Even with the great location I won't be coming back.

The property was dirty. There was vomit on the floor of the stairwel, the privacy curtain didn close all the way, the room was buggy (I killed a bug walking in my room wall) and uncomfortable for rest due to the insecurity of getting bed bugs and the sound of the air conditioner and the dripping of the faucet.Unfortunately, I stayed the night because it was the only place in the area that was under the max. rate I'd pay for a hotel room for the night, it was late in the day and it wasn't far from the beach and close to the main shopping street.

This place was HORRIBLE!! We found old food in the corners by the bed, towel bar falling off wall, cobwebs, NASTY carpet with cigarette burns, cigarette burns on the bedding, bedding was stained & discolored, the room smelled horrible, very poor lighting in the room, the bathroom ceiling looked like it was rusted around the tiles, bathroom cabinet was falling apart, tiles coming up in kitchenette, kitchenette was just gross, and this was even after we switched rooms. The first room also had hair in the beds that were supposed to be clean. This place is a total nightmare!!

Hotel was great for the price. Staff was super friendly. You just don't get the same hospitality in California. Room was huge for one person, so that's a plus. Bare essentials in this hotel. It's literally just a clean bed, clean bathroom, but had a microwave and a mini-fridge in the big closet which was nice. My only complaint was there was no blow-dryer in the bathroom, but the front desk quickly resolved that issue and let me borrow one they had up front.

Front desk cleark is not in the best of health. The stairway is reeking of urine. Would not recommend it to my worst enemy. Hotels.Com shouldn't have this on their list of a place to stay. I don't usually write a review, but i had to. This place is horrible.
