    Combustible materials in the fire egress stairwells
    Walt N.

    This property doesn't deserve the Marriott brand name. It is old, tired, run down, and disregards basic safety protocols. I mentioned to the front desk that combustible materials are not allowed to be stored in fire stairwells and was told "we always do this." I mentioned it again the following morning to a different clerk and she told me that she would pass along the information to the general manager. In the four nights I was there, nothing changed. My room was dated, with significant stains on the sofa. There bathroom was clean, but dated. The air conditioner unit functioned very well but was loud and dirty. I will choose to not stay at this property again.

    Newly renovated king room

    Nicely remodeled hotel! Very clean rooms! I made the mistake of booking a room at ocean resort next door(I won't make that mistake again), and have been to check out the same day and come over and get a room at the courtyard. The staff here was very friendly and helpful.

    Located right in the middle of a perfect stretch of Virginia Beach, this hotel has really competitive rates with all the Marriott amenities. I was able to get a room upgrade to a Presidential Suite on the top floor. Every room has a fantastic window/balcony with picture perfect views of the ocean and beach. If you wake up early enough, you can catch the sun rising. The staff were amazing. Very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very comfortable and beds were quite soft and comfy. It seems like they were remodeled recently with smart TVs, great wifi, and a nice restaurant in the lobby.

    This hotel is absolutely amazing! Super clean, friendly staff who are willing to help out with anything you need. We booked a king suite and were absolutely blown away by the size, balcony and the view! 2 TVs made it perfect for my husband and I and my son to watch whatever we wanted to. You could log in to your streaming services like Netflix or YouTube (you're automatically signed out at check out) or watch select cable channels, like espn, nbc, and hgtv. Beach access from the lobby is perfect and convenient, 10 steps and you're on the sand! Bistro area for breakfast is a little small, but clean. We took our breakfast up to the room to eat. Our room was on the end of the hallway/ building so it was super quiet except from the shared door between our room and the neighbors bathroom. We were lucky enough to have 3 different neighbors on 3 different nights and all were quiet. Right below our room outside the building was a naval courtyard and even tho they had nightly performances of a video and history that we could clearly hear, it went quiet by 10pm and that worked for us. Barely heard any street noise at any point of the day or night. 2 ac units let us control the temp in each room of the suite. The shower was clean and included upscale Paul Mitchell shampoo, conditioner and body wash, pure heaven! The shampoo ran out during our stay and all I had to do, since there wasn't any daily room service due to covid, was ask the front desk and she gave me a brand new one. As of this review, masks were optional for vaccinated guests in any area of the building. Parking lot at the hotel filled up quickly but there is an additional parking garage about a block away, very easy to get to, and secure. We could see our car from our room. Parking is $10 a day and charged to your room. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay and we will definitely be returning next time we are in VA beach.

    Love how calm the ocean looks.

    I had to stay here in town June 2-7, and I stayed here because of my good experiences with Marriott hotels thus far. If I am being honest, I realize that it costs more to stay here because of the beach access among its amenities; however it is not worth what they charge per night. First, to be able to justify charging as much as they do, everything should be massively up to par. Check-in was nice, no issues there. I was on the 10th floor so I loved the view and being able to see all the goings-on up and down the boardwalk. The room itself wasn't anything overly special to write home about; in fact I think the rooms could use an upgrade. The plastic chairs/table on the balcony were dirty (we cleaned them), but then we found that we couldn't enjoy the balcony as much due to a swath of insects that kept flying up that way. Next, as for the room itself, bed was comfortable, TV was nice, and I am glad you're able to angle it so you can watch it from your bed. Quite enough room if you're staying a week like I did for your clothes. There's a mini-fridge, but I was highly surprised that there was no microwave in the room. As much as this room costs, there should be a microwave in the room. The iron worked, but the ironing board was horrible. It was old and rusty, so we ironed all our clothes ASAP so as to not have to keep opening it. Last, bathroom and sink area were nice, no issues there. To sum it all up, the room was ok, nothing overly special, and for as much as the room costs, I think minor improvements could improve the customer experience. Some suggestions: * Invest in screen doors for the rooms. Sometimes, you cannot have the room door open all day because of insects, so that would help. * Second, guest safety needs to be more of a premium. The beach access door next to the pool did not have a locking mechanism, so anyone (namely non-guests) could come in and out at will. * Third, offer minor incentives to guests from a food standpoint. The food is expensive...I did better going to the other food places up and down Atlantic Avenue. * Make sure ironing boards are fully functional * Let people know up front that there will be a hold on your credit card for "incidentals". I did not have a problem with it, but I did not know about it until the next day. * If you're going to have a $9/day parking policy, it should be enforced. There were a lot of cars that did not have tags in their windows each night. That all said, the employees we encountered were very nice and doing a good job overall. I would definitely consider staying there again, just make minor improvements.

    Courtyard/South, from the beach
    Bruce K.

    Like other Marriott properties along the ocean front that I've enjoyed recently, every room at the Courtyard Oceanfront/South has a balcony and faces the beach. There's something to be said about looking out the window and watching the sunrise as you get ready for the day. Smaller parking lot than the others and the overflow parking deck is across the street a half block away. Otherwise, it's the same excellent Marriott layout and configuration with a comfortable bed, large flat TV, speedy free Internet and a small fridge in the room (the fridge had a loud motor on it, consider unplugging it if you're not using it). I'd stay here again.

    Room is clean, and comfy. Love the wall mural
    Jannet C.

    Nice, simple, clean hotel. What makes it great is that it is right on the oceanfront. We loved being right on the water, it is so close to it that we can hear the waves crash. The service is nice and friendly, as expected from Marriott. We did not mind walking across the street for complimentary parking. Overall, great stay at the beach.

    Ashley C.

    Overall we were pleased with our choice when staying in Virginia Beach. The hotel lobby was very clean, parking was cheap, and we were located continently on the board walk. The room had a great view of the ocean, and was a great size. Our only complaint was the ceiling in the bathroom and the shower itself were showing serious signs of wear and tear. The ceiling was peeling and showed water damage.

    View from the guest rooms.

    I spent a long weekend here in July 2015. I really couldn't have been happier. The associates went above and beyond to accommodate me. Everyone from the valet parking attendants to the counter associates to the room attendants. I thought the location was above average. I really enjoyed the beach views as well as the immediate ability to walk to many attractions. Also, it was great to sit on the balcony and watch the boardwalk. This hotel was a pleasure to spend my weekend at.

I visited during off-peak season so noise and traffic wasn't too big of an issue at the hotel. I wouldn't want to stay here during the busier times in the summer. I loved how much ocean soundscapes I could hear from the 5th floor balcony. The view was beautiful and the room felt quiet. Something I super appreciated. The only gripes I had was the mandatory valet parking and the extremely low shower pressure. The sink had drainage issues too. I also ran out of towels during my overnight stay. There's no suite, dresser, or closet in the room either. So think short-term stays. I still wouldn't mind returning again in the future and wouldn't hesitate recommending the place to anyone thinking of visiting. The downstairs lobby has breakfast spot as well as a bar and coffee shop. The concierge was friendly and very accommodating. Shoutout to Alexander for making sure everything was set up just right for my visit. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

    Overall, we had a wonderful three night stay at the Moxy Oceanfront. We selected this spot because…read moreit was dog-friendly and relatively cheaper (with decent reviews) compared to other pet-friendly hotels on the boardwalk. Our three-night stay in March, which was booked in November, was about $250 per night. Although there was a half marathon happening in the area, I think our rate (booked through a 3rd party) was on the lower end because March is still considered the off season. The hotel itself is quite modern compared to the other more dated hotels in the area. It definitely is geared to younger crowd (20s-30s) because of design, layout, the amount of video games, the bar with snazzy cocktails, and of course an indoor slide that goes from the 2nd to the 1st floor. For our purposes, I thought our room was fine for two adults and a dog. Compared to other places I have stayed, the room was a bit small. However, we're the type of people who only use the room for sleeping so not having a huge amount of space is not a deal breaker for us. Although our room had a partial ocean view (on the south side of the building), the view was still impressive. My spouse did have a minor complaint in that the rooms did not have a dresser or a closet, but the room has plenty of hooks/hangers where you can hang your things along the walls. Although the hotel is not in the "central" area of the boardwalk (around 21st street), it is still located in a nice section of the boardwalk that is walking distance to a wide array of restaurants, bars and other attractions. For example, the hotel is next door to the Wildfowl Museum. ;) Valet is about 11 bucks per night. In general, there were no major issues with valet services. Unfortunately, there was a minor issue in that the hotel overbooked valet parking due to an event it was hosting. However, that situation did not affect us too much with the exception of a slightly longer than normal wait. Everyone on the staff with whom I interacted were friendly and very professional. Also, I thought the cleaning crew did a great job with maintaining the hotel. Although the hotel is pet-friendly, I did not smell old/wet dog/cat odors in the common areas or hallways. If we decided to stay on the Oceanfront, we definitely will keep the Moxy in consideration.

Staying here you do have some perks they give you a complementary drink voucher for you to use during your day and it's for each day for you to get two drinks during happy hour which is from 4 to 6pm and snacks are included with that. Breakfast was well served and well prepared. They had every section to breakfast classic foods as well as if you want it it's more of like quick and simple like cereal, bread, toast, and then they have their own station of omelette where they had a chef that would prepare it based off of what you requested. The layout is very nice. I love how they gave us wristbands instead of a key card for our rooms and to use the elevator. It's very secure as well as being able to not have to carry around a hotel key to get in and out of your room as well as any other areas where it has access to it. The vibe itself for the hotel it definitely gives you like a vacation outside of your classic beach vibe because you have pools. You have an indoor pool and an outdoor pool and a restaurants. this right there called tacos and tequila. They are currently opened but I we'll highly recommend getting there during their non-peak hours, and their food is amazing. Their Baja fish taco is my favorite to get from there. They also give you the option for parking valet parking as well as parking pass, which is the overnight rate which is $25 an hour and you can go in and out of a parking lot. That's another thing I did like about that general area where the other hotels including this one is that they have a parking garage where you're not obligated to have to to get another ticket or get charged extra for going out if you needed to so I didn't think that's a good perk for me by that wants to stay and have a staycation but still has to do some type of things throughout the day. I would highly recommend going to these hotels. The room service from the restaurant option is the restaurant where you get the complementary drinks from and they are operating throughout the night even later hours and I do find that very convenient for people that like to go out like Myself and wanna have like a nice good bite or even dinner our late night dinner I got their salmon which was really good. This location is definitely a hidden gem You're kinda in your own oasis away from home, but you're in Virginia Beach because they have it set up where it's essentially like you're on a private island and you just have like the view point of the beach and they offered other enemies, including beach, chairs, umbrellas, and stuff with your say so that's also a good thing for people that want to just get away for a little bit but wanna stay in Virginia Beach so I highly recommend staying here as an option if you're looking for something that has a little bit of everything and you have nearby access to other things like the other restaurants that are in that same area.

The staff really made our stay exceptional--huge shoutout to Ryan and Clinton at the front desk and Billy and Abdullah at the restaurant. They were all fantastic!

Perfect for families looking for a more relaxed and elevated beach experience.

    I had an overall great stay at Navy Lodge Oceana…read more The staff here can be incredibly accommodating and willing to offer help. The housekeeping staff does a meticulous job cleaning each room after the guests leaves. Throughout our nearly 6 months stay, Jerome and Herbert in particular have really gone out of their way to keep our stay here feel like home. For example, when our A/C unit failed in the middle of murky summer, Jerome replaced the entire unit right away. I have also had trouble handling the incredible humidity I've not experienced since leaving Japan. But thank goodness for Jerome again --he ensured I had a really good dehumidifier that also helped muffle noises as well. I cannot emphasize enough on what a truly instrumental role he had played in keeping my whole family feel comfortable. I find that especially noteworthy because we were there for quite awhile. The Lodge location is steps away from the Dam Neck Naval Base Beach and the sunrise is beautiful. It also has a kitchenette that is fully functional to cook a good meal unless you need an oven. The fridge is big enough to put in whatever you need and the stove is easy to cleanup. The cabinets are stuffed with everything you'd find in a kitchen. Cooking utensils, pots, pans, plates, cups, wine openers, wine glass, dish rack, soap and sponge. You name it, they have it. And this is what really makes the stay better than being over at the Navy Gateway Inns and Suites (NGIS) if you are here for awhile-- especially if you are like me and prefer to cook your own meals, staying at the Lodge is a MUST. And if you have pets, the Lodge is also AN ABSOLUTE must. One of the great things about Navy Lodge Oceana is how pet friendly it is. Our two beagles loved the area and there are 3 receptacles on-site to keep doggie poo thrown out. Keep in mind that it is a high tick and flea area so ensuring they get brushed after a walk is a must! Well, not unless you like to shriek like me when I found two ticks on my laptop thanks to my dog ubering them inside. And just for the record, both dogs also take Nexgard and Heartgard monthly. Now the NGIS might work beautifully for those who are in the Dam Neck /Oceana area for short term stay, or ok with eating takeouts every day because you don't cook, and /or doesn't have pets. Or that they'd prefer the nicer furniture or less noise to deal with. I've stayed at both and NGIS is far easier to make reservations for leisure and their beds are very comfortable. In sum, I had a fantastic stay and I look forward to returning every chances I get. For $75/night, the rates are exceptional and the location is perfect. I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to everyone. -- Cons: Elevator--The building has no elevator. So if you have loads of luggages, you will need to take it to your room upstairs using the staircase. Reservation --Making reservation here can be pretty easy if you are staying because of TAD/TDA/PCS orders. For leisure traveling, you'd have better luck at the NGIS or other nearby civilian operated hotels. The leisure travel can be only made 7 days ahead of the stay. And chances are, you are 99% likely to be told they have nothing for vacancies, or they have something for just 1 day out of a 7 day trip or something very inconvenient. WiFi--The WiFi here can be spotty, nonexistent, or extremely slow. If there's someone playing video games in the evening, you can tell right away and you have a bad night ahead of you if you need the Internet. It'd be far less frustrating to get Internet connection elsewhere. Also, the cellphone data connection here is also rather lousy. So no, using data won't help with watching YouTube or something else. If you need to make a call, you'd also have better luck by going outside. You'll see bunches of other sailors or marines pacing and walking around sometimes for the same reason. Noise level--You can hear just about everything from your surroundings. Toilet flushing, heart stopping door slams, other dogs barking all day, people's conversations and/or TV sounds all hours of day, jets, gunshots from the swamp side, housekeepers cleaning , anything in the hallway, etc. Privacy Please sign on the door doesn't mean much either. So if your next door guest has his alarm go off at 0500 and well into 0800, nobody can or will do anything about it. Well, not unless Herbert is working in the morning. He was the only person who was willing to intervene after multiple other lobby staff refused to help. Try imagining the alarms making a loud incessant beeping the entire time behind your headboard at 0500 on a Sunday for 3+ hours while the other guest somehow sleep through it or not even be there over the weekend! My point is, if you are sensitive to noise stimuli, or dislike wearing ear plugs, I don't recommend staying here.
