"This hotel is one of the most exceptional hotels in the Tidewater Virginia area! Excellent customer service, friendly staff, great location offering a view of the magnificent ocean. I was able to enjoy my weekend the way I wanted. Last but not least the prices are OUTSTANDING!! You're not going to find any other hotel by the ocean that's this affordable and able to enjoy your stay quite like this one. This will definitely be my "go-to" whenever I'm in..."

"Location, location, location. Property is nestled right on the water with spectacular views and good vibes. All the staff are helpful, passionate and make it a priority for each guest to feel fulfilled and refreshed. Front desk, housekeepers are all great. Bathrooms remodeled, no bugs or issues with cleanest. When you visit this area you’re not supposed to be in the room anyway . Get out and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful views."

"Good experience on a weekend stay. Clean room and sheets, comfortable bed, and all room amenities functioning well. Second floor pretty quiet, especially once evening gatherings on first floor and parking lot calmed down. Nothing mean-spirited, just family and friends socializing and grilling. Beautiful sunsets from beach, just a short walk."
