I had an Oceanfront efficiency and it was nice. The property is older and they have done what they can do to upgrade but, there are still things that can improve. The jetted tub was clean, worked well and was very relaxing. I enjoyed the opportunity to eat in my room while looking at the ocean.

I really enjoyed my stay at schooner inn. The staff was supper sweet and professional check in was done smoothly. The room was super spacious all the dishes in the room that i needed when I cook so I didn’t haven’t bring my own . They had a grill out front with that the guest were able to use Mitten gloves and all other Utensils you can use for the grill.’oh and last but not least something i always look for when staying at a hotel it was super clean. The house keepers here at schooner inn does amazing job on what they do. I walk past half of the rooms and actually see the house keepers really cleaning really mopping the floors. Unfortunately most of other hotels that I have been to doesn’t even look like they mop their floors and I never see house keepers doing it either. But the house keepers here are keepers. I would recommend this hotel to anyone you will not regret it . Keep up the good yall.

Not great

I got the luxury suite because that was all that was available. The unit was fairly clean and had a view of the ocean. I heard my neighbors, all of them. Loud and clear! I am disappointed that they took $50 as a deposit? It’s just a crappy stay. I’ll never stay here again.

We were in VA Beach for only one night for a concert. We were looking for a hotel at the beach that wouldn’t beak the bank. The Schooner Inn is an older hotel, but the rooms are clean as was the pool area. The beach is extremely accessible and lifeguarded if you need that option. It is a quick walk to the best restaurant at the beach…waterman’s surfside restaurant. All rooms have a water view although the ones on the front side are facing Rudee inlet rather than the ocean. All have decks, some kitchenettes, and some suites. We just had a double room facing the inlet. It was less than $200/night on a holiday weekend. I would stay here again, but next time would upgrade to ocean view.
