Questionable accommodations
The check in process was great with the friendliest people!! Our deadbolt didn’t work and we immediately received a room change. The room was very small but adequate. The cement corridor and stairs dipped unexpectedly and I had to use extra caution not to take a tumble. There were only stairs available. There was a small patio where you could overlook the boardwalk and beach. We parked in the small lot attached which was very convenient. While a pet friendly hotel, there was nowhere to take your pet. The grass attached to the hotel belonged to an ice cream shop and was marked not to use. This presented an issue. When we checked out, the man working was extremely rude and refused to give me a receipt stating I had booked through hotels.com. I doubt we would stay again.
The beds were creaky, the room smelled like mildew, the walls were dirty, curtains, sheets and bathroom were all dirty. Hardly any electrical outlets. The shelf was hanging off the wall. The fridge and microwave were sitting on the ground. There was no hand soap. The parking is almost 2 blocks away from the hotel.
This property was run down and the bathroom had mold in the shower and was disgusting. The noise outside my room was so loud I couldn't sleep. I'm not sure if weed is legal in VA and I could care less who smokes but I do not and it was clearly being done outside my door. I couldn't even sit outside my room and enjoy the view because of the kids running and screaming, as the balcony area is connected. The parking was 2 blocks away and I was charged extra for parking and also a resort fee! A resort fee? Really. It was a run down old motel with no rules. The owner was nice and thats the only reason I gave 3 stars for staff. I stayed an extra hour at the beach, i checked out on time but left my car in the parking an extra hour and was charged an extra $25. I do not recommend this property if you are expecting a clean and peaceful vacation.
We booked here last minute due to some mix up in reservations but for a last minute spot it was great. It is right on the board walk, making it easy access. Owners were great and attentive to any and all needs! I will say the bathroom could be a bit cleaner but overall we would book here again !!
The hotel was awful!
The bed was all springs any way you moved there was a spring jabbing you!
No covers on the bed just sheets so I froze and had to use my beach towels as a blanket.
Smelled like stale cigarettes
No elevator and the stairs are so narrow you have to carry your bags directly in front of you
The beach access gate was locked up so you couldn’t even access the beach you had to walk all the way around the hotel.
And be aware once you get there they charge for parking and some other fee I couldn’t understand what she was saying for what!
This hotel looks and feels as if you’ve stepped into the third world. The beach at its back is its ONLY saving grace. It also feels as though the owners and managers give so little care for this hotel’s existence that it has been left to languish. My family looked at me like I was crazy for reserving this place when we arrived. It is embarrassing.
Bed was very comfortable. Older motel but the rooms have been renovated. The fridge worked good. I’ve been to motes where the freezer just would not freeze, not here 😀
Staff was gracious and accommodating. We will stay there again 😀

You have to pay for parking which they don’t tell you. It is super loud as you are right by the main road AND there is a public beach access right next to the hotel so there are people by the hotel at all hours. The walkways and stairs are super narrow and there is part of a vent system overhead of one set of stairs. The door to the bathroom opens into the sink. Pay the extra $40 and stay somewhere else.
Accessing the property was frustrating as multiple cars blocked and parked the entrance, making us lap the block multiple times to even arrive. Was not aware of $60/per pet fee, additional parking fee for cars and parking was 3+ blocks away. Extremely noisy, the smell was toxic and everything dirty
This place was disgusting. The room smelled like someone had smoked alot in the room and hadnt been opened up for weeks. The mattresses still had plastic on them so every time i moved, I heard the plastic. Most of the outlets didnt work. The exterior was a mess. The A/C unit didnt have alot of airflow because the filters hadnt been changed. My brother cleaned them so we'd have cool air(they were caked with dust). I'll never go there again.
Horrible motel, very dirty! I had knee surgery that left me disabled and there is no elevator and I was put on third floor. Had to leave because it does not accommodate the disabled
