    View from the balcony
    Rod J.

    Nice hotel on the beach with really great spacious rooms, at least ours was for sure. We had the beachside view, so great view from the balcony. Very welcoming and engaged staff that helped to also make the stay comfortable. Food from the Hemingway restaurant on site was pretty good overall on what we enjoyed. The beer selection was okay, they only had 5 beers on tap but all were craft brews which was nice. They did have domestics as well as they were all bottled. But, you could also buy some at the front desk if the bar was closed which was nice to have for grabbing some to take to the room. Overall, a solid hotel and definitely worth checking out in my opinion.

    Came here for the 4th of July weekend. I had no idea how big of a deal that was in VA Beach. Super crowded. The hotel was centrally located and has free valet parking. The cleaning service was sub par - they don't clean, they only change the sheets and empty the trash. I know they are trying to economize but if you are paying full service prices then they should provide full service. The hall way gets very hot. On the good side the hotel is well located on the boardwalk with easy access to the beach. Every room has a balcony facing the beach. And we were able to see the fireworks directly from our room which was fantastic. They do have a restaurant and other amenities. Overall I give this a 3.5 out 5 review.

    The location is right on the beach/boardwalk. Hotel staff were super friendly our whole stay, as well as the restaurant staff. Food was enjoyable at the restaurant as well. Room was super clean. Will definitely rebook here again.

    Weekend getaway for my birthday, the location is great. There are multiple attractions within a blocks radius, haunted house, arcade, Dairy Queen. Because it was a speciial occasion, we booked a studio suite, it was very spacious. I wasn't sure what to expect with that, there was a large island with two bar chairs. There was a sink in the island, and a mini Keurig on top. In the island, there was a microwave oven, a mini fridge freezer, and some empty cabinet space. Directly behind the island, was space and hangers for clothes, no accordian door, which would have been a nice touch. We had a king size bed, and there were 2 club chairs and a pullout sofa. The bed was horribly uncomfortable. For such a huge room, the bathroom was super tiny. And the TV was tiny. We really didn't watch any TV but had we wanted to, the TV was just too small. As a platinum IHG® Rewards Club member, "Platinum Elite" there seemed no emphasis on that status, not a big deal. IHG® Rewards is running a promo for extra points by using "tap to pay," but that wasn't working on their system, so lost out on that. The on site parking lot is very tight and does not accommodate all guests vehicles, there is another lot behind the building across the street, and there was complementary valet parking. We really enjoyed the stay, but it wasn't without flaws. We found a feather in the room on the floor near the bed and end table. There was some gunk on the bathroom wall near the trashcan. Trash accumulated outside the elevator doors on our floor, without being picked up all weekend. The thin layer of window curtain could use washing, and the shower curtain also was showing wear. We didn't utilize the indoor pool or on-premisis restaurant. There was a national cheerleading event in VA Beach so there were A LOT of kids everywhere. There were also some adults, older than us, really partying it up on our floor and having a good time. Overall we enjoyed our stay but they had to have known it was going to be a busy weekend and should have had better housekeeping detail.

    Perfect hotel for the weekend getaway. We booked our room on the IHG app for Saturday night but ended up extending our stay because we enjoyed it so much. Front desk representative, Cain, helped us check in. The service was 10/10. Everyone was super friendly and informative. We had to use their bottle opener a few times and got tooth paste from the front, everyone was really nice. We ended up eating at the restaurant that was downstairs twice. The food was pretty good. We got a Philly cheesesteak 9/10 and chicken and shrimp dish with a side of Mac and cheese 8/10. The ambience was calm. There were kids there but no one was running around screaming. Everything was very clean being that it is open to the ocean and sand. They do a great job with keeping it clean throughout the day. Our room was so cozy. It was a great size for two people. Everything was up to date and had a balcony open to the ocean. We had one king sized bed but I'm sure they have bigger rooms if needed. We got complimentary valet, and the fellas that were working that department were pleasant and quick. When checking out, we left very early in the morning (4:30) and Heather helped us out by getting us the key to the car due to valet reps not being there yet. She was very friendly. Gave us complimentary drinks for the road. We will definitely be visiting this hotel again! If you're looking for a nice getaway with your significant other or older child, check them out !

    I stayed at this hotel a couple of years ago and it was 'meh'. The hotel was dated, a little dirty and the staff was hit or miss with attitude. Well, I stayed last weekend and let me tell you it is FABULOUS!!! The hotel has been renovated (parts still were as the laundry for guests use was being done at another local hotel while theirs was being renovated). The room was beautiful and the staff was so professional, making sure to check if we needed something. We lucked out as we were able to get into our room early (thank you very much!) and had a relaxing stay. Their breakfast is amazing; everything tasted great and being able to bring a take out box back up to our room was so convenient. Was extremely happy with our stay and will be back.

    For the price it's ok. Very dated rooms. One girl at the front desk was super friendly, but the lady after 4 was rude and not friendly at all. Trash wasn't emptied in the kitchen and toilet paper not changed out. No TV guide and the volume is locked on the tv so it's hard to hear. Light switch in the bathroom broken. And the glass on the patio is fogged inside and u cant see the ocean through it which is the whole point of ocean view. Our room was a King Sized Suite

    This hotel was amazing. The staff was very nice and welcoming. The breakfast was amazing. The sweet potatoes was amazing. We even had the cook come and talk to us about the breakfast he cooked. Amazing job Jerry! This hotel experience was super good. I recommend this hotel!

    Location location location! The hotel itself and rooms are outdated but the location makes it worth it all! It's right on the ocean and a quick walk to restaurants and stores. The staff is really nice and the coffee in the lobby is great. The parking sucks, if you don't get here early enough then you'll have to park in the overflow lot which is a block away. The luggage carts (yes I know it's silly to comment on these but when you've got tons of luggage they're a major deal) they are a little small and really should be a little bigger, especially when this is considered a family summer destination. The AC in the room is noisy but works beautifully. It would be nice to have a little table out on the balcony with the chairs so one can have a late night pizza or a morning cup of coffee enjoying the ocean.

    The ADA requires a working wheelchair lift but maintenance informed us that theirs had been down for many weeks due to a battery issue.

    Virginia Beach (as a city) has made so many modifications to be accessible to wheelchair users. Unfortunately, accessibility at this hotel is such a disaster that it really destroys the experience. If you need any mobility-related accommodations, this is not the place to stay. I use a wheelchair and booked an accessible room. I even called to verify everything specifically by phone after making the reservation online. We arrived to find the bathroom door too narrow to enter with my average-sized wheelchair. We were given another room. Here, I could enter the bathroom but there was no shower chair or attached bench. Also, we now had no balcony and the bushes were so tall that it defeated the purpose of paying for an ocean view room. Rather than apologize or try to work on a solution, the front desk worker tried to tell me how her disabled relative could make it work. We had an engagement and couldn't continue to argue with them over it so we regrettably accepted the room. When we returned - late at night - I discovered I could not even get in the bed as it was unreasonably elevated. We called the front desk to see what we could do about the bed and shower. They showed us a room that would work but it's a "suite" - which essentially meant the setup was identical but the hallway was wider. So, the choices were to either stay in an inaccessible room OR pay more for a suite?! I suspect this accessibility "upgrade" was planned all along which is so disappointing. Many hours later, when that shift ended, we were given an option to upgrade into that room without the $18/night fee for the suite. Great, but we were told we needed to move ASAP and trying to move immediately with an infant was incredibly stressful and did not work out. We ended up speaking to the manager who had really no solutions for us. It's as if these people are trained to just listen to complaints and do nothing at all to resolve them. We finally did get an actual wheelchair accessible room but it took 22 hours (during which time we weren't able to enjoy our vacation.) Once we had the new room, the choices for air conditioning were either full blast (freezing) or off, and the room just reeked of mildew. Of course, at least it was finally accessible so we just tried to work with it. Sadly, even getting extra blankets was a hassle as the front desk wouldn't answer the phone and we had to get dressed and go down to get them. (This wouldn't have even been noteworthy if it hadn't been for everything else.) I inquired at the front desk to confirm that the pool lift worked so we could at least enjoy that feature. The ADA requires this but the lift was covered with a tarp so I was skeptical. They said it did work and we changed and went down just to discover from maintenance that not only did it not work but that it hasn't worked for over a month due to a dead battery. Holiday Inn's corporate customer service line told us the manager would call to apologize but that call never happened wither. Overall, I would discourage anyone with a disability from ever staying here! The hotel is in a convenient location and the restaurant was nice but wheelchair accessibility is just an afterthought for them. It really destroyed our ability to enjoy such an incredibly accessible city of Virginia Beach itself.

    My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for Labor Day weekend. The best part about it is that every room has an ocean view! We were on the 8th floor and every day would watch the sunrise, people on the beach or boardwalk below, and some crazy storms in the ocean at night. If you can, try to request a higher floor because the view from the balcony is better. The hotel is also very conveniently located on the beach and in an area where there aren't as many people (I liked this because I hate a crowded beach). We were also able to walk up and down Atlantic ave and rarely needed a car unless we went somewhere far. Our room was perfectly cleaned everyday and the staff was also very helpful and pleasant. There's also very cheap breakfast served in the hotel every morning. My only complaint for this hotel is that our air conditioner was so loud and annoying to keep on. I would get up every 10 or so minutes to turn it on and off because I couldn't stand the noise. Our TV also kept cutting out when we would try to watch TV and the staff was unable to fix it (I think it was a cable provider issue).

    Stayed here 21 October through 25 October. It's a holiday Inn, so room was nice. This review is about their morning breakfast. Goes from 6:30-10:00am during the week. On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, it opened 6:35 or later. For someone who has to work each morning at 7:30, I need every minute I can get. There were always 2-3 other people also waiting past 6:30 to see someone working. If you're not going to open at 6:30, change your time. I've worked in food service for a year and worked at a fitness center where you had to open at 5:00am. Always opened early. On Tuesday, after waiting 10 minutes, staff just announced to the half dozen people in line that the cook wasn't there and they didn't know when they'd be coming in. Tight. Picture attached shows bill I got Friday. I paid $2 for a carton of milk that would have cost tops 50 cents out of a vending machine? Also, today was only day I got bill. Other three days i paid for breakfast, I just gave my DoD coupon and was good. Ordered the exact same thing, to go, all four mornings I got breakfast. Is there consistency? Do you pay different amounts depending on who you get as a server? That's bad business. I'll happily pay for timely service, good customer relations, consistency, professionalism. Didn't get that. Take some pride in your work. Side note, had change I left in my suitcase get stolen Wednesday when I was at work. Don't really care because I don't expect room cleaners to be outstanding integrity upkeepers and it was only $4.50 in change, and another person here also in my TAD class got his credit card stolen Tuesday night. Again, I should expect that staying at a hotel.

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 hotel is nice! That was not the issue. The hotel amenities were just small. The pool was super small and with the amount of kids there it was almost like a kids school function or daycare. Then the dogs....I love cute little doggies. But traveling with your animal to vacay is weird to me. It's also gross to smell dog when you get in your room or in the halls. There were so many doggies on vacation with their owners and they'd leave them in the room while they ventured. It was odd. Walking to our room we got barked at, then like a domino effect, the entire doggie day care hall was barking to each other. The view was great! Beds were eh, but I learned that Va Beach is not where you go for a real princess vacay getaway. The room rate was 500$ a night for an ocean view. Now, I have no problem spending that on a room but if you're going to spend that amount per night might as well go somewhere nicer, with better beaches (blue ones), and a real resort. The view is nice but for the price, no. Not after being all over the world this summer at places much nicer and just as expensive, his money could go elsewhere. This past weekend, Aug 14-17, we learned that room rate sky rocket for a last minute getaway and likely were just as high even if we booked earlier. Wouldn't do book last minute ever again and likely would never come back to Va Beach. Staff were friendly. Cute hotel just way too many kids and pets. Plus beds were okay but not the fluffy beds at other Marriott locations.

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.

Located on the Cavalier resort property, we took full advantage of the beachfront access. It was so nice to wake up and just walk out to the beach for some vitamin sea and then when it got too hot, hang out in the pool. My daughter's loved the little water loungers and spent at least an hour, pretending they were seals slipping and sliding away on an iceburg. They also had cute little activities like mermaid and pirate meet and greets that my littlest one enjoyed. Having Tacos and Tequila right next door made a quick and delicious pool lunch and the kiddos (especially my oldest) was obsessed with the made-to-order breakfast that was included in our stay. Our room was very clean and we loved having the separate living room /dining space to spread out. 95% of the staff we interacted with was exceptional. We'd definitely come again.

I never thought I was the kind of person who cared about oceanfront rooms, as long as the room is close to the beach. But I think I've changed my mind. I really enjoyed eating meals watching the waves, and I was able to let my kids go to the beach while I sat in the room because I could see them from our room and they didn't have to cross any streets to get there. Also the breakfast was awesome! We immediately gravitated to the diy waffles with vanilla and red velvet options, and lots of toppings like chocolate chips and chocolate syrup. But I was impressed by the healthy options too like oranges, bananas, apples and canned fruit. There were great warm options too like scrambled eggs with salsa and shredded cheese, sausage and diced potatoes.

Not sure if it's just a thing if the past or something new but it would be helpful if guests could have access to religious materials. Staff states they must refer me to public affairs so I'll have to see if that happens. This faux pas will not keep us from staying again we will pack our own in the future.

    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.
