Its not the ritz but its worth the price
Ok so this is not a luxury resort but it is a decent hotel across the street from the beach. The parking lot is tight but we were able to find a spot wach time we left and came back. The elevator is tiny and slow but they did have an elevator. The pool closed at 9pm but it looked clean and you didn't hear kids yelling after 9. The rooms have been updates recently (fresh paint and flooring) and were actually cute. They are high turnober rooms so there was some gunk in the corners. We never heard a peep from our neighbors! Those walls are thick! They are a bit stingy with the towels. Gave us 2 bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths for 3 people. I had to argue a bit to get 3 more towels but they relented and hooked us up lol. The staff were nice everu time I talked to them. There is a restaurant right next door and a sensations. Its close to everything. We walked to the speed boat dolphin tour docks. Plenty of food, entertainment, and shopping nearby. I'd stay here again!

Lipstick on a pig. No washcloths, dirty sheets, still wet towels with stains on them. The entire Place smelled like lacquer paint. The price was way too much for what I received. The reviews on hotels.com are great but Google reviews is only 1.5 out of five stars. Will be definitely trying to get some money back for this day. Absolute garbage

Bamboozled
The next door neighbors were fist fighting all night. Contacts front desk just to be told they tried to tell them to stop but they won’t. This place is disgusting. Pubic hair everywhere. Blood stains on the sheets. The adjacent door to the next room didn’t lock so we had to put a chair under it. For the money we paid we should be refunded partially this was the absolute worst experience I have ever had anywhere in the world. I felt unsafe and dirty

I liked that the hotel was by the beach, I did not like that my room wasn’t inspected before I checked in. Room had missing tile on wall in the bathroom which had black mold, bath tub didn’t drain properly and also a/c didn’t work in my first room. I had requested a late check out and at first the front desk agent declined it to me then when I showed I can do it online they let me pay for it in cash. Rooms need to be remolded & scenery wasn’t very pleasant was only here to visit family would not stay here again.

Awesome place! Excellent stay at excellent price !
We stayed at the hotel from 8/11/24 to 8/14/24. it was one of the best budget hotels at Virginia Beach ocean front area. It was inexpensive-- won't crush your wallet, offers free breakfast and short walk to the beach. I don't know where the bad reviews were coming from.... In my opinion, you got what you pay for. Howard Johnson is a simple place that won't break the bank. If you are willing to pay more and have better services... Double Tree is located right across the street from the hotel. 1. Room was updated. Even though the renovation work was not the best. It was adequate. 2. The room was pretty clean. Room was spacious. Beds were comfortable. Our only complaint was no place to hand clothes or wet towels. 3. The hotel offered free breakfast which included coffee, yogurt, orange juices, apple juices, muffins and cinnamon rolls. We really appreciated the free breakfast. Nowadays there was hardly any budget hotels that offered free breakfast. 4. This hotel had great customer service. The employees were very helpful and attentive. 5. The only issue we found for the hotel was --the ice machine area that located at the first floor was dark and needed some cleaning. 6. A short walk to the beach. 7. Parking was fine. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.

Nothing liked about the propery it self. Floors, wall and the elevator were filty! Rooms had hair leying around and the counters, telefone and AC grill were disgusting! The sheets and pillow cases were ok but the towells and bathroom shower courtines had stains and were dingy.

Nice Place For the Money
After reading some of the other reviews, I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel. Many of the reviews said negative things but I found the hotel to be excellent for the price. The location was convenient. The beach was just across the street. The parking lot was a little small but we had no problem finding a spot. The elevator was a little rickety but I just took the stairs. The staff was super friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Disappointed…will not return
The pictures on line are definitely deceiving! The mattress pad was stained really BAD (I felt the need to check for bedbugs). The baseboards were very dusty/dirty. Only had 1 chair in room. The bathroom door was broken…cracked and no latch, the toilet clogged TWICE, the bathtub drain (had no stopper) had so much hair in it… We took our bikes ….if there was a bike rack, we could have locked them but had to load them in small elevator each time ☹️
