A great location just a short drive from Norfolk Airport, clean and comfortable and the bonus is that it is directly on
Pros:

A short drive from Norfolk Airport, so it was perfect for an overnight stay before heading to OBX

Cons:

A little tired in areas and is due some refurbishment, but the staff are super polite and helpful and keep the place wonderfully clean

We were pleased with the accommodations, it was comfortable and convenient.
Pros:

The room configuration worked perfectly for our group, and the location was conveniently located close to where we needed to be. There was ample parking on site, and the breakfast provided had a good variety of options.

Cons:

It was a bit pricy, although not outrageous for a weekend night in late May.

Not worth the cheap rates.
Pros:

The view of the ocean.

Cons:

It was run down. Seemed unsafe. We had to change rooms 3 times because the locks were broken and the door stuck. The phone in our last room didn't work.
