Visit our charming oceanfront hotel and enjoy the family atmosphere and great service. We offer a free continental breakfast every morning along with a USA Today newspaper. Free bicycles are available to ride on the boardwalk or you can just relax around the outdoor swimming pool. All of our guest rooms have free wireless internet access, but most of all a great view of the ocean and the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. We are in the heart of the Virginia Beach Oceanfront and surrounding activity, the Virginia Aquarium, Beach Street USA, National Historic Sights, State parks and National Wildlife Refuges, and is within easy walking distance to some excellent restaurants. Hotel is a 3 story walkup with no elevators.

Clean,friendly and unbeatable location.

We were a little bit scared because we booked at the very last minute on Memorial Weekend. The staff is very friendly. The room was clean and the oceanfront view was incredible. Restaurants,stores, etc was right there. We went to an awesome seafood restaurant called the Captain George. You need to take the car but it is only about 2 miles away. We also rent bicycles right there at the hotel. Complementary breakfast is also served in the morning and it is good. We did not used the swimming pool but we saw a guy cleaning it every night. There is no elevator. This was not a problem for us, but if you have kids and a wheelchair person you should tell them at the time of the reservation. We will definitely stay there again.

Wonderful..didn't want to leave

We went there for our honeymoon and wanted a balcony, we definitely got one. The room was super clean and the view was beautiful. They serve continental breakfast in the morning in the lobby, they have bikes you can ride on the boardwalk or area for free for at least an hour, they have a heated pool, and free wifi. Our only negative was when the maids were cleaning our room and we came back we were locked out of our room by that latch and the hotel was taking a while to see how to get us back in. Also, they have a book in each room with the closest and best restaurants listed and their menus, it came in so handy.

Great overnight stay

This hotel was on the beach and was close to shopping and dining. We were within close proximity to things happening on the boardwalk. It was a great family spot.

it's all good...

this place was perfect, as it's oceanfront! they kept it very clean considering the amount of sand that gets into the rooms unavoidably. the staff was very friendly and helpful, although one gal could have been better about specific directions to things like the lighthouse or the airport. Virginia Beach is a great place to bring the kids, it's safe, the ocean is lovely, and there is lots of free entertainment.

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

the one restaurant we ate at that was on the main strip was not too good (George's). it was ok but I was not impressed. once you go a block or two in we found some much better food. there is even a grocery store 3 blocks from the beach which has a lot of good stuff to stock your mini fridge with. EconoLodge's mini fridge was very helpful. the kids liked the free breakfast but I found it minimal.

Expensive digs

We went to the beach & enjoyed. We were very impressed with VA Beach. I really liked having a bike available for "free." We didn't have to drive. The only thing this hotel lacked was a good place to dry swimsuits & beach towels. We had to make do using the chairs on the patio.

There is free live family entertainment on the boardwalk. We saw a free juggling act & then a magician. The town has put lots of money into the tourist infastructure and it shows.

small, but cute oceanfront hotel

I would highly recommend this hotel. However, if you want a big high-rise, it's not for you .But we loved our 1st floor room steps from the Boardwalk and beach .We had a patio to sit out on, then grass to walk across to the Boardwalk and beach. The pool was very small, but adequate. The continental breakfast was lacking in fruit, but had cereal, bagels, and danishes.The only drawback was the terrible parking situation. It was an EXTREMELY small lot that was hard to get in and out of, and you were only allowed one car. But the proximity of the beach was wonderful. I was glad the fridge also had a (cold) freezer to freeze bottled water .I would stay here again. Good location, too!

Dine at Laverne's! The crab legs steamed with old bay seasoning are awesome. Got the steamed clams, and the watermelon martini, too! Stay away from Waterman's---pricy,small portions.

Great Hotel

We felt it was a great location; we had a very nice stay and had great access to the beach from the hotel. The room was clean and we had access to restaurants and shops. They even allowed us to check out an hour later with no extra charge because we were enjoying our selves on the beach so much.
