Budget Inn Norfolk Va
Staff was quick to fix any issues. Great location. Rooms have had some updates but outside needs some work.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Virginia Beach (Oceanfront)
My go-to when I visit Virginia Beach. Only complaint is the mattress is nearing the end of its life, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. Can’t comment on the breakfast that morning because we slept in.😁 Although in previous visits the breakfast has been fine, plenty to eat, fresh, hot.

Hyatt Place Virginia Beach / Oceanfront
The location and the view from the room were amazing. The staff were friendly and attentive. The valet car service was slow though, so if you need your car be ready to wait at least 30 min.

The room was super clean. The view was exceptional. No pool because we went during off season. We had some issues and were resolved right away. Thank you!
