The room was certainly clean and the location was fabulous, but the staff was extremely slow and dull and the rooms are nothing special. Overall, a good value for the money, though.

Fun at Neptune Festival
Virginia Beach is one busy place during Neptune Festival so I can't honestly say we spent much time in our hotel room but it was clean, in a wonderful location and with a small refrigerator in the room it was perfect to stop in, rest up and fuel up as we went from one event to the next. Also, breakfast in the adjoining restaurant (Neptune's) was delicious. Overall I’d say it was a great choice.

The hotel is very clean and in a great location. Within walking distance for lots to do. We had to leave early due to the weather. The hotel management was very helpful with me getting my refund for the 2 days we didn't stay.

Oceanfront Inn
The hotel staff was helpful and friendly, the resturant was good and the location perfect. The rooms are average, but clean. The hallways were neglected which at first gives the impression that perhaps the rooms will be the same way. Overall it was a good stay and I will go back.

Great views, close to everything.
The hotel was a typical beachfront hotel that caters to families. Slightly dingy but kept up but when you walked into your room all was forgotten or forgiven as you look straight out to an unobstructed view of the ocean. Sounds included. Personally the pillows were like rocks but still slept well, probably the ocean sounds helped there. All in all we would return.

Avoid driving into town through the tunnels at any time that even feels like potential rush hour. The back up is not fun.
