Wyndham Virginia Beach Oceanfront

Wyndham Virginia Beach Oceanfront

8/10 Good
"The hotel staff were all very nice, and we really liked the location of the hotel itself. The room and bathroom were nice and a comfortable size for two people. Although both rooms were clean when we arrived, housekeeping did not come to clean or tidy up either room our entire stay. There was a sign on the bathroom mirror stating that the towels and sheets would be changed every three days for conservation purposes, which we had no problem with. However, we did not understand that to mean that no one would at least tidy up daily. The food and the entertainment (Sunday evening) at the Surf Club Grille were excellent. There were simple things that could have been done to improve the quality of the stay, such as having information in the room about the restaurant menu and the arrangements for beach chairs and umbrellas. We had no idea that in order to get beach chairs and umbrellas, we had to make arrangements in advance. (Many beaches automatically have them set up and you pay right on-site to rent them.) There was a sign posted at the door leading to the beach, but by the time we saw it, it was too late to make arrangements. If the hotel had this type of information in the room when we arrived, it would have made our stay so much more enjoyable as we really looked forward to lounging on the beach. And there's a good chance that we could have been enticed to order breakfast from the Surf Club Grille if the menu had been in the room."

"The location & view were everything and we quite satisfied w that. On the flip side these were our observations-*Flower beds sadly overgrown and whole yard needs a good trim. *Brick path to hot tub needs attention, or just removed*Window unit in sunroom completely rusted & unusable. Should be removed before someone gets hurt. *Long hairs inside refrigerator and freezer*Internet connection was unstable so Roku reception was intermittent *Fireplace unit in sunroom interferes with the view and makes the room too crowded. Should be moved or removed since it's all about the view from that room. *Take an UMBRELLA or Canopy so you'll have shade!!! None are provided."
