We were just passing through from one vacation to another. Your place is very nice. Watching the planes warm up for the air show took me back to the 90’s living on an Air Force base. All good!

Do it
Great view of the beach and the boardwalk. It was fun to watch the sun rise from the balcony and watching the surfers. The room was clean and comfortable. Getting the hot tub was a great idea, very relaxing at the end of the day.

Virginia Beach stay
Enjoyed our visit. Location is convenient for getting around at beach. Room was clean, but still a retro vibe due to age. Not rundown though, in good shape for its age. Like that it also had laundry to use for convenience.

I can recommend this one!
Location is just awesome! Feels like you are at the beach without going anywhere. I can recommend the tub inside the room, it was just so relaxing + the view. Room cleaning was performed daily. Centralized air conditioning made the room quiet without the usual unit that you may encounter in other hotels.
