Guest Reviews
- Mira (1/5): - I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. The room was extremely unclean upon arrival, and to make matters worse, there were bugs in the room, including bugs crawling on me during my stay. This was completely unacceptable and made the room feel unsanitary and uninhabitable.
When I brought the issue to management’s attention, I was told housekeeping had already left and that it was a busy weekend. While I understand staffing challenges happen, guests should still receive a clean and properly maintained room when paying over $100 for a stay.
After waiting a week, I was only issued an $11.25 partial refund on a $113.65 charge, which did not appropriately reflect the severity of the situation.
Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not stay here again. I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel.

- DaMeshia (1/5): I cut my stay short I checked out early the next day - Nothing it was like walking in a jail I didn’t like the room or the staff they put me in a room that was already occupied then moved me to another room and the tv didn’t work. The guy came and looked at it and said I don’t know what wrong with it sorry. So all night we had no tv to watch
- Mason (1/5): Awful - Nothing!!! Do not book, it was not clean and looks nothing like the pictures. Ducks was swimming in the pool and it doesn’t feel safe in the room. Bedding and towels were dirty I booked for two days and I didn’t stay. I didn’t feel clean. Room smells really bad
- patricia (1/5): -
- George (5/5): Disappointing - One helpful employee frequently had to manage by himself and try to be everywhere, in order to:
save the day by doing someone else's job,
explain why something wasn't available,
explain why the lobby was inaccessible (a lot),
explain that (incredibly) there were no stations to get ice, explain why, (despite posted hours for continental breakfast), the lobby containing the breakfast was sometimes locked during those very same posted breakfast hours. Substandard service, lack of staff, lack of basics, such as ice. For more, see above.
- V3696BUpaulw (10/5): Howard Johnson, Virginia Beach Virginia - Great place to stay at Virginia Beach Virginia at the beach a safe place to shop and mingle around the beach and your right across from the beach on Atlantic Ave you can see the ocean from the rooms on 5th floor
- Jabbar (4/5): Price is solely the location. If U can afford xtra $100, do that. get a good room across the Steet - The layout of the room is nice. The rooms view was a side street on our anniversary, remote didnt match the t.v., the facility alone needs some work.
- Reketa (8/5): - All of my accommodations were met Towels we're missing from one of the rooms a microwave was missing in one of the rooms and neither of the refrigerators in the rooms worked
- Regina (5/5): -
- gustavo (8/5): En general agradable - La cercanía a la playa Me cobraron el depósito y aún no me lo devuelven
- Erick (10/5): -
- Marlon (10/5): -
- Carpenter (1/5): -
- chrissalynnchriss (10/5): Great value, even greater stay!! - Very clean and as advertised. The hosts are big sell here, they're great and made sure I was happy at every (reasonable) request. I like the area it is in and I felt safe on the property. I will visit again and would suggest you give them a shot, especially for the cost, it can't be beat!!
- Miller (4/5): I didn’t enjoy the stay - Nothing The room was handicapped accessible, they didn’t have a table to eat on or play games on
- Deidra (3/5): - Filthy
- Oliver (1/5): - It was a cross the street from the beach The lady at the front desk was a extremely rude, over talked me and just over all had a nasty demeanor
- ig115 (10/5): Comfortable, restful, peaceful, NO BUGS...But they do have HBO! - Per Dollar, NO HOTE/MOTEL is on a level with this Howard Johnson at 512 Atlantic Ave, Virginia Beach, Va. The most commendable staff, the BEST WI-FI ON THE OCEAN FRONT! There's even HBO, and all of the channels for MARCH MADNESS...Nightly price? A FRACTION OF ALL SURROUNDING INN'S, HOTELS, MOTELS
- Dontrey (3/5): No breakfast as they said it would be and WiFi didn’t work - Distance to beach How out dated it looks compared to the pictures
- Millie (3/5): I get you that you get what you pay for but this was sad. Especially in off season. - Staff was very friendly Floors were very dirty, my white socks were black after the first few hours , shower didn’t work if you turned the water on the faucet it was Luke warm, you go to shower mode it was so hot you couldn’t shower, there was no way to adjust temp as the nozzle was broken. And when water did come out for shower it was very little. I ended up washing my hair under the facet of Luke warm water. , drain clogged, sheets dirty with food residue. Wash cloths were crumpled and thrown into a cubicle. No bath mat and only 2 towels for a double room. The room smelled of a mix of smoke and marijuana. The one bed had only a sheet on it and the thin blanket was laying on a stand. The other bed had both the thin blanket and sheet so between the two I was able to sleep ok. Both sets of sheets had food and burn marks in them. The door closed ok but there was a gap at least 1 1/2 in that allowed noise/heat/cool/light out. I just feel that whoever does maintenance does not care about their job and whoever does cleaning really could care less. This was off season and honestly was disgusting.
- Cyndie (1/5): Horrible disgusting unpleasant nightmare will never stay here again - I didn't like a single thing about this hotel stay. If i could rate zero stars I would. The hotel was so disgusting and dirty. When we got to the hotel the front desk man was so ride and not hospitable whatsoever. When we got the room I was even more disgusted. I checked the sheets of bed and they were dirty and stained. The towels were also stained and dirty. We had to ask the front desk for new sheets and towels 3 times because he kept giving us dirty sheets. The floor of the room was dirty everything just seemed so unclean and unkempt. We only had 1 trashcan which we filled up the first day and we asked at the front desk and were not provided with another. One day we saw the housekeeping staff and 1 of them was sweeping water from the parking lot and the other one was going up and down on the elevator with a cart walking up and down the hallways but not entering any rooms and doing a bunch of nothing. We were told to leave our trash outside of our room by the front desk and the staff with the cart did not pick it up for an entire day. It seems like the staff was not working at all. The staircase stunk of cigarettes the only elevator was beaten up and also stunk. I hated it here and I will never come back. When I got home I realized I had an allergic reaction to whatever was on the sheets or pillows because I had red bumps on the side of my face that i laid on for a couple days. I've stayed in dozens of actual hotels and this was more of a motel or a shack. Just absolutely terrible.
- Walter (2/5): - Location Cleanliness- sheets and towels stained, stains and dirt on walls, door knobs hanging off
- Tom (8/5): -
- Felicia (1/5): The location was great but the hotel is dirty and in need of maintenance, shockingly terrible. - The location was great. The hotel was dirty, poorly maintained, and management was indifferent. The bedding was stained, items were left in the room from a previous guest, lamp didn’t work, elevator didn’t work on the first floor, dirty floors in room, and walls were dirty. Cigarette butts are all over the property and outside of room doors and on walkways. Burn holes in bedding. The staff engaged in a verbal altercation, yelling and cursing in front of guests. Management didn’t intervene. Breakfast was honey buns, cereal bars, and yogurt that sat out for hours without being refrigerated.
- Taylor (3/5): More expensive doesn’t alwayy mean better quality… this was not my favorite. - I liked that the pool looked clean. It was the cleanest part about the whole place… The room was filthy, there was a streak down the pillow of god knows what, no towels or rags?? The phone also did not work properly and wouldn’t dial anyone. Everything was unplugged. Hair in the shower, I really could go on.
- José luis (4/5): - Algo de el baño estaba dañado
- JOHN (5/5): - I booked a DOUBLE room with 2 double beds. The room was a SINGLE room with 2 beds. Shouldn't I get some type of partial refund? You can check the reservation if you want.
- Babakar (5/5): - Location Not too clean
- Stephanie (1/5): Not up to par to be a Wyndham hotel - The pool and location The hotel room was filthy the sheets were dirty sand all over the floor no toilet paper toilet was not working tv did not work never brought bath towels and soap totally disgusting
- Natalie (5/5): It was meh not the best not the worse - How close it was to the beach The bed was not comfortable and the metal bedframe made noises anytime you moved and haven’t received my deposit back
- Arun Kumar (3/5): - Room was not clean, smoke smell, lot of disturbance from neighboring room, requested for top floor but got middle floor
- philip (5/5): -
- Shaun (1/5): Horrible l - Really just the location. Asked for towels and they told me I had to wait until morning. I only had two for a three night stay. The shower curtain was filthy and had mold and mildew on it. There was no soap! Continental breakfast was terrible.
- Kathy (1/5): - LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION Everything else but location
Pictures are deceiving
- Stephen (5/5): -
- Mikenzie (1/5): Horrible place - The View The smell of marijuana
Housekeeping never came to our room
Mattress was hard as a rock, wasn’t cleaned underneath
- Jessica (10/5): -
- Lynne (1/5): This hotel is not safe. For all to see, Your room number is your car tag. - Nothing This was the worst stay! Pictures are completely different than what it looks like in person. Dirty bed bug hotel…nothing clean, mold in shower, loud fights outside, questionable activities, not on the beach, Just don’t stay here, don’t be bamboozled by the photos. We were scammed! The pool is in a parking lot, not on the roof top deck like it’s pictured.
- Odessa (6/5): - You cannot beat the price and location of this hotel. Overall quiet stay All soap dispensers were out which wasn't a huge deal as I had my own. But some of the towels were also dirty and placed back on the shelf for use. Staff may had assumed these were not used from the previous stay since they were folded.
- Ricco (1/5): - Nothing That they held $670.00 for essential and charges without telling me, making a couple of items bounce.
- Vichitchot (2/5): - Cleanliness, room emenities, nuisance sound all night, and reception
- Napier (10/5): They stay was a great stay - There was a lot There was very little
- Emily (10/5): -
- heather (2/5): Only nice thing was location and comfy bed - The location was great and the beds were comfortable. Our door had a dead battery so the keycard didn’t work. We had to go to office to be let into our room every time we left our room until they came to change the batteries. The toilet seat was broken and the lamps were unplugged and hard to plug into the outlet due to location. Towels and wash clothes were very stained and looked dirty. The elevator was run down
- I2371UHdonaldd (2/5): Not good - Disgustingly dirty and noisy. Could hear people talking all night long. Dirt on floor in room to the point you can feel it bear footed, bathroom had clumps of hair, dirt and spots that look like dried blood on floor. Cannot recommend.
- hbmtnman (8/5): Off season stay in VA Beach - This is a very basic hotel. Nothing fancy, but it is clean. The parking lot is very tight. We stayed for 3 nights. There isn't daily housekeeping unless asked for. The breakfast is extremely basic, coffee, juice, muffin, and yogurt. The front desk was friendly. We had no other staff interaction. I would recommend this place if you are on a budget and want to be close to the beach.
- Thomas (1/5): Do not recommend - The location to the beach The wifi did not work the phone did not work the room smelled musky the elevator was crappie no room for use to put our clothes the towels and wash clothes were stained and smelled
- Desiree (4/5): -
- Ann (9/5): Great staff and hotel. - Staff is excellent and makes sure you are comfortable! Nothing
- Naji (1/5): The beds had weird stains so did the blankets, the shower curtain had mold growing on it. - Nothing Everything
- Deko (1/5): -
- Arkadiusz (7/5): -
- Jamie (3/5): - The pictures didn't match the property. The staff was friendly but definitely not what was expected based on online pictures.
- Bailey (1/5): Regret that I spent my money with you - The room and linen were dirty Nothing
- Ryan (8/5): - Nice, quiet.
- Joyce (6/5): It was ok won’t go back though - Not good very little to get Could have had breakfast like it said we would have office staff was rude to my guys with developmental disabilities
- Elizabeth (4/5): Minor hiccups, could be worse! - The room was clean, the bed was clean and comfortable, housekeeping staff was friendly. No hairdryer or coffee pot in the room, like website says, front desk acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. There was no battery in the smoke detector
- Crystal (5/5): -
- Lorraine (2/5): - The room was dirty mold and bedbugs inside the room. I went to the front desk and showed him pictures.He offer a different room and that room was worst.The hotel refused to give me a refund.We stayed into a different hotel for our stay in Virginia Beach
- heather (3/5): Ugh - The bed sheets were definitely dirty on one of the beds and sketch on the other. We only got one wash cloth and 2 towels so I don't think the room was cleaned and changed over correctly before we checked in. When I asked the front desk he originally told me no to more towels and then continued to give push back when I was like it's day 3 and one wash cloth and 2 towels are not sufficient for 2 people. There was no house keeping at all the 3 days we were there. Everything
- Jeffrey (8/5): -
- Lukasz (5/5): -
- ALEXANDER JOSE (1/5): - The area
- Booker (5/5): -
- Mastewal (3/5): There is no cupboard to place dressing staffs.No ventilation in the restroom,Only one chair available no table, bedsheet - Nothing Only location is at beach front
- Santos (10/5): -
- Tatiana (2/5): - Not what I expected. Breakfast wasn’t good, coffee was old coffee, dirty sheets , etc.
- pastorcarolyne (8/5): Friendly staff. Nice guest crowd. - Price was great for location. Clerk was helpful and friendly. Room clean and quiet. Parking convenient. Steps from the beach.
- MARCELINE (6/5): - Convenient to the beach. Older motel, was clean for the most part except black mold that was growing on the ceiling and lamp shades. Shower curtain was disgusting, but was giving a new one after asking.
- Milu (6/5): - I liked that it was away from big crowds and close to many shops, but the hotel itself needs a refresher, very outdated and retouch, new furniture and so forth.
- Makiah (3/5): -
- Angel (10/5): -
- Nicole (1/5): - Close location to the beach Was not cleaned the whole time we were there
- Brianna (10/5): - Convenient and close to beach
- Dragos Parvulescu (1/5): - Amplasamentul Am rezervat 4 nopți din care am beneficiat doar de una, camera era foarte foarte murdară, o mizerie de ne descris, așternuturi murdare ne schimbate, cu fire de păr sub pernă sub pat erau urme de vomă, după o noapte a trebuit să schimbăm hotelul deoarece și seara când am ajuns recepționer foarte arogant a spus că el nu are ce să facă, Am sunat la Booking.com să-mi fie rambursate sumele plătite pentru celelalte 3 nopți deoarece a doua zi am plecat iar aceștia mi-au cerut poze sau video să le trimit printr-un link care nu a funcționat.... Rușine Booking.com și RUȘINE PROPRIETARILOR DE HOTEL! NU SE POATE RECOMANDA ASA MIZERIE!
- Williams (1/5): - The location & price were really convenient. It was not clean. There was hair on the shower walls, hair clogging up the drain, what looked to be mold on the curtain, no hand soap, dirty bath mat/towel, a poorly patched up hole in the bathroom door, a toilet that wasn’t properly sealed to the floor, and unknown black spots on the grout of the tub. We didn’t use the shower because of its condition. We didn’t request to change rooms since we were only there for one night and were already exhausted so we put up with it, but we definitely would’ve had to if we were staying longer.
- Pedro (9/5): -
- Elizabeth (1/5): I wouldn’t come back. - Beautiful colors Bed were really uncomfortable. Ac unit was leaking water everywhere. No water pressure. Parking lot had huge deep water puddle. And it looked like it had dry blood on the shower curtain.
- Nichole (8/5): - The location was great We had elevator issues the first couple days but was fix.
- Cesar (7/5): -
- Melvin (8/5): - Everything was good, I want to have TV for the kids after the beach and it wasn’t working it’s a minor item besides that everything was ok.
- Vasquez (10/5): - Todo
- Hatim (8/5): Good - Clean Clean
- Beth (3/5): - The location to the sand and shops. Cleanliness was subpar. Stained sheets, food in microwave, sand all over upon check in, stained towels. The photos were not even close to what the facility looked like. The "included breakfast" wasnt even there. The "snack shack" where check in and breakfast was, was the size of a cafe and offered 1 mini muffin when entered. The cleaning staff was rude when asked for a roll of tp and a towel. There were 3 of us and only placed 2 towels in the room. Kindly asked for a 3rd and got an eye roll with a towel tossed. Microwave plugged into a lamp- fire hazard.
- bhatti (1/5): -
- Janmesh (8/5): - Motel needs updating, elevator was not work to the 1st floor. The rooms were ok. Location is great close to the beach. Staff was very helpful Dinesh was great and he helped us with anything we needed.
- Juan (5/5): -
- Jodi (4/5): - The elevator did not work when arrived, had to take stairs to 2nd floor. You could easily hear everything outside your room. No hygiene products like shampoo or conditioner, tissues. It was not what I expected. Breakfast was coffee, juice and one item only like a small muffin or yogurt. I won’t be back.
- carol (4/5): I should have found out more details about the accommodations when I booked. - Parking was great. Near beach and boardwalk, General appearance of room good. Only one sheet - bottom. sand on floor, No cups or glasses or ice containers. Asked for room for disabled but not one thing was helpful, We were at least on the first floor. Description and photos suggested room had a beach/ocean view but we had a view of parking lot. I didn't get a bill or statement from the desk when leaving and was told he did not know what it was and I would get a statement on my email, I had been told the room was $300 a day which I guess I paid as have not gotten the statement yet. I know nothing about any breakfast.
- Lydia (1/5): My stay here was very short as I did not apprediate the pee on the toilet seat in the lobby. - I liked the location of the motel, but that's about it. The motel pictures are not accurate to what the motel actually is. Those pics were taken when the motel was new and it has not been kept up. The pool pic is misleading. Its not actually as big as it looks.
This motel dirty, gross, and looks like the setting of a horror movie. We did not stay here. We got to the motel before check-in time, had lunch at Sunnyside next door, and then found other lodging. While sitting in the parking lot, we even witnessed a drug deal or possibly 2.
The bathroom in the lobby had pee on the seat and smelled strongly of urine.
We will not be staying here ever.
- Brandon (4/5): -
- Woodburn (8/5): - Location was great.
- hector (1/5): -
- Flavio (6/5): -
- Durgesh (2/5): - Very dirty, they don't clean rooms everyday, said breakfast included but they just had some snacks, juice and coffee for breakfast, expired snacks.
- Michael (6/5): Just okay but good for a beachgoer - Just an okay place if u just need a place to sleep & at least have a roof over your head.. convenient though if you're a beachgoer..
- Noris (1/5): Fue una estadía pésima la verdad no fue nada agradable el acensor su escalera no dejan dormir - Nada El acensor
- Lindsay (5/5): Overall it was okay. The things that were bad could easily be fixed for a better stay - Location Elevator didn’t work on the first floor so we have to go up one flight every time we arrived, there were no patio furniture on the rooftop like pictured, the ac leaked water leaving a giant puddle, the shower didn’t drain well
- Gmvch (1/5): Really bad services and bad property - I didn’t like anything bad service Terrible uncomfortable the elevator was out services, the towels was really old and dirty the shower did not clean small bad and very expensive and the clerk was very impolite
- Nakia (2/5): Worst part of the vacay! - It was close to the beach. The hotel room was so terrible that we stayed away all day. The towels, linen, bathroom were all dirty. The elevator didn't work well. First floor button was broken and no air conditioner in the elevator. The breakfast was very disappointing.
