Located on Virginia Beach boardwalk. Love the area. The room was small and not clean. The pool was milky the entire time and tiny. Balcony overlooking the ocean was nice. Breakfast was good and different options during the week.

The daily breakfast is fire, y'all. And free coffee allllll day. The staff is always friendly. Sometimes the guests get a little noisy, but it's a family friendly place. and you can't have vacation in a family friendly place without kids getting excited or having the occasional melt down. The hermit crabs we got kept me awake at night more! The indoor pool is so helpful when we get those torrential downpours that keep you from longer beach times. And of course the view of the ocean is wonderful!

We had a suite and it was 4/5. The common area had a pull out sofa bed which was a very dirty looking couch so of course I didn’t want to sleep in it so we got an air mattress. The only other downside would be the air. It has to be freezing on one side for the other side to feel comfortable. The indoor pool is super small. Parking was a little tight and hard to come by in the lot out front but aside from these things, I enjoyed my stay! Good breakfast and pretty clean. :)

Location, location, location. In the middle of everything. 2 additional off-site parking lots in case on site parking is full. All suites face the ocean. Small indoor pool for kiddies in case you want safer swim option than beach. Late-night security on duty (also must use card to enter building and side doors will lock late-night. Not many will notice this increased security after 11pm, but its one of those things that you appreciate unless you forget your card). One small con is their carpeting which is damp most of the time (even within the rooms). Otherwise, you can't ask for more...

Disappointed. Okay so at least we werent among the group whos room wasnt ready. Ours was ready at time of check-in. I was going to think early booking for that, but thay quickly faded, when we walked back outside to get our vehile and was greeted with cigarettes odor at the closet of the seat "smoke free hotel." Our parking was in the 3rd parking lot about 2 blocks away The room was okay, filthy really. Everything was suspicions, but the breakfast was good.

On the first night, I didn’t realize it. I honestly thought everything was going great on day too. I saw that the whole ceiling was filled with insects from mosquitoes to ladybugs bees. I didn’t notice it till the next day. It would be great if they can keep on top of this stuff. It was on the last day if not, I would’ve checked out right away.

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites VA Beach Oceanfront for a week, and I had a wonderful experience. The hotel is located directly on the beach, so you can wake up to the sound of the waves crashing and the smell of the salty air. The rooms are spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and plenty of amenities. All of the rooms have balconies with ocean views. The hotel also has a great breakfast buffet, with plenty of options to choose from. The staff at the hotel are friendly and helpful. They are always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that you have a great stay. Overall, I had a wonderful stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites VA Beach Oceanfront. It is a great hotel for anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation. I would definitely recommend it to others. Here are some specific details about my stay that I would like to highlight: The location is perfect. The hotel is right on the beach, so you can walk out your door and start enjoying the sand and water. The rooms are spacious and clean. The breakfast buffet is excellent. There is a wide variety of food to choose from, and it is all fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure that I had a great stay. I would definitely stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites VA Beach Oceanfront again. It is a great value for the price, and it is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a beach vacation

Stayed at this hotel recently after staying here a couple of years ago, and I can really tell the difference since then! The renovations to this place has really elevated the look and feel of this hotel. The room we stayed in was absolutely beautiful. My only gripe is the parking lot. It is very small and very difficult to navigate around. I would recommend they renovate that next!

Do not stay at this hotel anywhere near the second floor because you will not have hot water. We had no hot water our entire stay. When we reported to the office, we had to call more than three times. They were rude to us before they finally sent a technician to tell us there was nothing they could do. They told us to leave the water running to see if it got hotter. After an hour and a half the water temperature had never changed. They said we could go to another room and ask somebody if we can use their shower, which is completely inappropriate. We were traveling with a young child and had no choice but to stay the night. We do not recommend nor will we stay with them again. We also had to connect the television to the cable cord because it was hanging out of the wall. I am not sure how this hotel has such high reviews when the customer service was lacking, and the quality was not there.

My recent hotel stay was disappointing due to unhelpful front desk staff who displayed a noticeable attitude.

Perhaps some better training in customer service is needed.

Great hotel super clean great location good breakfast. Only problem was the staff at check in was unfriendly and didn’t tell us our room number wifi code breakfast time or inadequate parking at the hotel and offsite location. They called us late while we were in bed at night to move our car to an offsite location. We took up issue with the hotel but they were rude and told me it was my job to ask where to park if it was full. All other staff were pleasant but as they are the lobby staff that main people you encounter they need to step up their game with being helpful friendly and courteous. Good hotel otherwise

After a day out, I arrived back to the hotel around 11 pm. There were no parking spaces available in the lot. There were also a few cars in the lot that did not have guest tags. When I went to the desk to inquire, I was told I had to go about two blocks away to a lot to park my car and walk back. I am a woman, ‘of a certain age’ and was traveling solo. I expressed that I was not comfortable doing that. I also shared that there appeared to be non-guests taking up some spots. The man at the desk simply repeated that I should go park in the other lot and walk back. In regards to the alleged non-guests, he just said “I guess we’ll have to check that out”. When I again said that I was not comfortable walking alone down a dark street at that hour, he just told me again that I had to go to the other lot. Thankfully, a young lady behind the desk heard our conversation and volunteered to go to the lot and walk back with me. I think that asking an older, female, solo traveler to walk down a dark street at 11pm by herself is unacceptable. I paid enough for my stay to expect that I would have a parking space in the lot.

Diana looked at me and asked if I wanted to put this on my room tab to pay when we checked out. She remembered our room number, WOW. Beautiful view of the beach from our balcony, we will stay at this place again.

We were in VA beach for my daughter’s. ‘Cheer for Charity’ competition at the convention center. Our experience was great, check-in was so smooth. They let us choose what floor we would like. Everything was clean, beds were comfortable, bathroom was clean & fully stocked. Housekeeping came and gave us extra towels and cleaned even more. The lobby offered fresh ground coffee at any time of the day/night. The breakfast was amazing. They were constantly making sure the floors were clean. The countertops were wiped. We will definitely be back!! The view of the beach from our room was absolutely breathtaking. My daughter enjoyed the indoor pool. And access to the beach was right out the back doors, just steps away! 10 out of 10 we will be back! Most perfect location. Also, the staff was very professional.

Check in was 4pm. We didn't get a room until 5pm & that was only because after waiting that hour, I went up and asked what was being comped considering we had just driven 12 hours with 3 kids. They finally got us in a room after that. The reason given to us for the delay was for "extra cleaning" however there was hair all over the shower & bathroom. When house keeping came halfway thru the trip, that still was not cleaned up and they left us with no toilet paper. The breakfast buffet was also not great. Didn't matter what time we got there, they were out of most things. But it's free so whatever. The location of the hotel is great, the beds were comfy. That's about all I can say about it.
