The location was great just wasn’t prepared for the state the building was in and the no full breakfast
Pros:

That it was beach front and the prices wasn’t to bad

Cons:

The building was a bit old-looking, and when I booked the room, I was under the impression that you would get a full continental breakfast, but they only offer pastries and coffee in the morning.

Friendly staff but I was hotel catfished
Pros:

I think the best I could describe it is “not as pictured “. I was catfished. The hotel looks like it has been abandoned. The staff are super nice . They were truly happy and joyful but I was not expecting the hotel to look how it reals looks.

Cons:

The elevator looked like at any moment it would come down and stop working. The blankets were stained and so were the lamps too. The pool had one broken umbrella. And the whole building looked like it needed some paint .

2. It was hard to get clean towels
3. Breakfast was stale or expired

We will stay somewhere else on Virginia beach for the next visit

Don’t stay here
Pros:

I honestly don’t know how this hotel is legally allowed to operate. From the moment we arrived, it was a terrible experience.

The parking lot was flooded when we pulled in, which should have been the first warning sign. The hotel looked nothing like the photos online. The room had a mini microwave as advertised a “kitchenette” and was filthy. There was mold inside the coffee pot, and the overall cleanliness of the room was unacceptable.

On our last day, the ceiling in our room actually caved in because of water damage from the flooding outside.. The flooding also affected the parking area and got water all over the cars.

There were homeless individuals constantly circling the building, the elevator felt like it was going to break every time someone used it, and the advertised breakfast bar didn’t exist.

This hotel was dirty, poorly maintained, misleadingly advertised, and did not feel safe. I would strongly recommend staying somewhere else

Pros:

The location was great.

Cons:

To get towels was a job. You would go to the desk and then they said I would need to go to housekeeping. It was. Back and forth and it was fight to just get towels

Location is convenient, but the place is very dirty with cockroaches and I will not be staying here again. It does not l
Pros:

Very close to beach

Cons:

It was dirty!! The bathroom curtains had mold, the floors were full sand and there was cockroach in the room. The pool is tiny and there is no place to sit, definitely the picture that they show on website is a lie.
