I would not recommend this property day to anyone to stay at. The rooms are outdated, the service from the staff was limited, our rooms were not clean or the dirty towels taken away for three days very limited parking. The pool is old and outdated. The staff, although some were helpful, there were others who were not so helpful. I think whoever owns this franchise needs to really update a lot of the rooms and pretty much everything in the hotel. We did get a refund because our rooms were not clean for three days and we had limited service from the staff. I would never stay at this hotel again. Thank you.

Beware

Only thing good about this dump is the location. Worst thing is the parking, had to park 2 blocks away where the homeless lived. Property needs renovation, crack tiles and flooring. Pool was freezing and dirty. No breakfast, restaurant, or hot tub. Don’t waste your money!

It was nice being on the beach. There were no towel bars in the bathroom, all the doors stuck, and the elevator was very very slow. Parking was offsite, but not far away.

Awful Experience

We were kicked out of the hotel for complaining after the front desk gave us a room key to a room occupied by 4 girls. Thank goodness they weren't in there when we got into the room. I complained how unsafe that was and used some words and someone standing at the front desk ( who encouraged me to complain because I spoke to him first) called the POLICE and made us leave. It is unreal I am a Silver member with Hotels.com and travel all the time and have never had this type of experience. I would like a refund. Obviously you are used to a poor level of cliental if your solution was to call the police. Not a hotel I want to be a guest at.

Got the penthouse suite on a deal & it delivered on all counts! Beach views & boardwalk on demand. The room was very nicely kept, though public areas and the elevator in the hotel are a bit run down. The parking a block away isn't too bad a trip and the area nearby has food late. Friendly staff. I'd return next I'm in VA Beach.

Do not stay here! I'm typically not the type of person who leaves bad reviews but this is a necessity. This hotel was dirty, dingy and reeked of weed. There is only one elevator for 7 floors. Our room didnt have any of the "amenities" listed on the advertisement. The beds were broken and creeked/cracked every time you touched them. While looking for bugs (as I do at every hotel), we found used Q-Tips between the mattress and box spring. The shower didn't work on the first day. The halls are so narrow that you can't pass in them. And the parking lot had the smallest spaces known to mankind. Not to forget the overflowing dumpster that smelled of urine or the multiple drug deals that we witnessed. When we alerted the front desk of the issues, we received an "ok" and that was it. They didn't even ask how our stay was, but looking back, its probably because they knew it was going to be awful. This "resort" is nothing like the pictures or description and should be avoided at all costs!

Eddie was very nice helping with check in. Rooms and hotel in general needs repairs. Dirty floors. Smell of cannabis kept us on a high not chosen by us. Pictures online are misleading. Beach convenience was wonderful but not much else. Housekeepers acted like they didn't speak English when asked questions or highly inconvenienced. Most quests we spoke to had same fellings of hotel. Too bad because could be a wonderful place.
