If you are looking for an affordable hotel for your family while enjoying the beach & area attactions, this is a good pick. If you're a young adult looking for VA Beach nightlife or someone who expects a lot of amenities, this isn't your place. Hotel has good beach access, right on the water, and about a 20 to 25 minute drive to area attractions (Marine Science Museum, Nauticus, VA Beach Boardwalk, etc). Breakfast was reasonable hotel fare with several options: non-fat yogurt, toast, waffles, eggs, bacon, cereal, etc. At/after 9am, so you might have to take your food to go because there isn't a ton of seating, but that wasn't really an issue, just had kiddos eat in the room on the mornings we were late. The air condtioner for our room needed some work, but as we were really only it the room in the evenings before bed, it wasn't too much of an issue. We have young-elementary aged kids - a lot of folks there were also in that category- and the location and hotel itself felt safe enough, clean enough, and was right on the beach.
