Amazing

It is a beautiful hotel and grounds. We felt safe and it had a great central location. I would highly recommend. Our only issue was room service availability ending at 9pm because that’s when the restaurant closes. We did Uber eats but had to pick up the food at the front desk during torrential rain. That was out of everyone’s control. Overall everything was fantastic.

Disliked: Amenities

The front desk was not very welcoming. They seemed totally bored and just wanted to give me my key. I had to ask for a clearer explanation of directions to my room. The person seemed annoyed. The charger outlets on one side of the bed weren’t working. There was a dead bug on the floor. It looked like the telephone hadn’t been dusted in a while. The room hadn’t been cleaned one day. I called to ask for it to be cleaned. The front desk wanted to know what I needed done in the room. I said that I needed towels and the trash emptied. They brought one set of towels—3 hours later—and didn’t empty the trash. For a 4 star hotel, it was extremely disappointing. I will never stay there again or recommend it to anyone.

Serene grounds, beautiful main building and Swan Terrace restaurant was wonderful. Rooms were comfortable although a bit dated with the carpets and AC system noise. Grounds can be better maintained (there should be no smoking allowed, especially in and around the children’s playground, and the pond needs a thorough cleanup as we noted several garbage debris such as plastic bags and cans in the pond during our stay). Windows also need attention (cleaning). Overall beautiful grounds and place to stay, service was good and attached restaurant, the outdoor pool and slide and the gym were all great amenities that our family personally appreciated. Can become a 5 star property with the changes noted.

Liked: Amenities

What happened to businesses that emphasize good customer service? Each call to the front desk was a multi-effort attempt, with nearly 20 rings each time before someone finally answered. The young woman at the restaurant's front entrance desk seemed unknowledgeable and unmotivated to learn more about any allergens. You'd expect someone working in food service to have basic training about allergies and to take them seriously, or at least be motivated to ask a manager for help. This was a real turn-off, so I spent my hard-earned money elsewhere for dining. I might escalate the latter complaint to Hilton Corp because that's unacceptable. Finally, as other reviewers noted, the property decor was dated, and the rooms were dark. Don't be fooled by the "Virginia Beach" name; it is landlocked and shares a campus with a Christian University. The vibe of the property is plantation and or divinity.
