Residence Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront

This hotel was borderline average. I wasn't a fan of the room. It smelled very very musty like wet dog fur. I had to do a complete sanitize prior to touching anything. The breakfast wasn't that well and the Coffee was not prepared. I haven't had a bad hotel experience like this in quite sometime.

The rooms were not true to the pictures and it's an animal friendly hotel which I did not realize so there was a dog barking in the room next to us which was a lot for my family. We also got our vehicle towed after taking advice from hotel personnel who advised that a marathon was taking place the next day and to have access to our vehicle. we park in the plaza on the other street. Our vehicle was towed. I was very disappointed at that experience, and it had an effect on our stay but we tried to make the best of it.

This hotel was okay but I would not stay at this hotel again. Firstly the room had a musky smell and my allergies were really terrible inside the room. My nose ran the entire time every time I would step inside that room not sure if they just didnt clean the air filter or what was going on, but I was not happy with that. Every time I would turn the heat on, I would start sneezing immediately. I did bring my animals with me which was my dog and my cat so maybe this was a buildup of past previous animals or something Im not sure. I dont have an allergy to any animals so I know it wasnt my animals that I was sneezing about. I opened the door to the balcony, and that helped freshen the room up, but I would have to do this daily to keep fresh air in the room so I wouldnt sneeze the entire time and my nose would literally drip inside the room. Secondly, breakfast was hot and was pretty good. I was there for three days and during my three days no one said anything about me coming downstairs with my dog on a leash to just grab my plate and leave the food area but the last day I was there this lady from the kitchen got really rude and smart with me telling me I couldnt have my dog in there. and its fine if thats a rule, but there are no signs anywhere stating that you cannot bring your dog to that area on a leash to get a plate of food and then leave. Theres literally no signs stating that you cannot have a dog in there. Thirdly I was in room 902 and the view from this room is beautiful! Beyond words and you can hear the ocean from the room and the sunrise and sunset is just gorgeous. Also, from the bed if youre laying down, theres a large window right next to it so you can just lay in bed and watch the ocean. Fourth I did like that the room had a nice refrigerator. The stove top worked, the microwave worked, and there was a good amount of dishes and supplies in the room for me to use. Fifth the bathroom was very accommodating, and I liked the shower. The balcony is nice, but you have to be careful where you are sitting because water will drip from the balcony above onto your balcony so be careful to place your chairs away from where the air unit location is otherwise, you will get drenched with water. Sixth The cleanliness of the hotel was nice and I did see that there was cleaning people walking around and cleaning stuff. The gym looks like it was clean. The pool area didnt look too clean to me so I did not get in that area. The Internet is extremely slow, slow slow, so if youre there for work be prepared for that. Thankfully, I had a hotspot so I was able to do my work. Seventh the bed was very comfortable, and the pillows were feather, and they were very fluffy, and I slept quite well on the bed. Lastly, I hadnt had a problem any of my days with valet parking. On the last day of my stay I checked out early and needed my car to be brought to me so I could go to work, and I was almost late and thankfully the only person that would help me was definitely not the woman at the front desk who was extremely rude, but this girl named Jamaica is the only person that would help me and she actually went to get my car for me so I wasnt late to work. Thank God for Jamaica because I had to go to the house that I rented in this area for my job and then make it to Chesapeake which was a half an hour away. Whoever this lady was at the front desk, due to her behavior and lack of care, I definitely would not stay at this hotel. She kept telling me over and over again that there wasnt anyone there to help me, and that she couldnt help me and no one was there to help me and she was just sorry because valet called out sick. I also told the woman at the front desk to have management call me so I can discuss her behavior and guess what no Manager ever called me. The parking lot is extremely small so you will definitely have to have your car parked by valet but be careful because they will literally hold your car for hostage and then tell you sorry they cant go get your even if youre about to be late to work! Walkability: Very walkable to the beach. Nice area to walk your dog if you have a dog.
