Howard Johnson by Wyndham Virginia Beach At The Beach

Towels not always given pool not cleaned daily ice after it melts is dirty water the room ac is great up to date tv and dressers The beach is right there good view not noisy would stay again but more ready then I was Pool has no towels chairs are clean and comfy

Elevator was dirty and broken

What I liked was it was close to beach. What I didn't like was if you have a larger vehicle parking was very tough and tight.

Great location. Try to get 6th floor. Nice area up top

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.

Stay somewhere else. Pay a little more, this one isn’t worth the savings. Even the basics aren’t available. Hot water takes forever to heat up, every faucet is installed backwards. Only one Ice machine, and it’s in a room behind a door with a huge sign: Electrical Equipment Personnel Only… no signs about ice anywhere. No coffee creamer, but they have in-room coffee!! Front Desk attendant Wouldn’t even give coffee creamer left over after breakfast!

Towels not always given and pool not cleaned daily also the ice after it melts black dots surface and the room ac is great up to date tv and dressers good two The beach is right there good view not noisy would stay again but I will be more ready then I was Pool has no towels chairs are clean and comfy

No ice machines

Ok so this is not a luxury resort but it is a decent hotel across the street from the beach. The parking lot is tight but we were able to find a spot wach time we left and came back. The elevator is tiny and slow but they did have an elevator. The pool closed at 9pm but it looked clean and you didn't hear kids yelling after 9. The rooms have been updates recently (fresh paint and flooring) and were actually cute. They are high turnober rooms so there was some gunk in the corners. We never heard a peep from our neighbors! Those walls are thick! They are a bit stingy with the towels. Gave us 2 bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths for 3 people. I had to argue a bit to get 3 more towels but they relented and hooked us up lol. The staff were nice everu time I talked to them. There is a restaurant right next door and a sensations. Its close to everything. We walked to the speed boat dolphin tour docks. Plenty of food, entertainment, and shopping nearby. I'd stay here again!

What is shown on the web is nothing like the real thing. The conditions are in its worst. It has 6 floors and the elevator did not work. When i arrived i received a text from the hotel asking to contact them for anything needed. I texted back and mentioned all the missing things for the room and the following day i had to go and get them myself. Dont get fooled by the pictures on line, the place is very poor quality.

Room was filthy, roaches, no TV, towels were stained and lighting fixtures didn't work.

If I could give zero stars I would. This is the nastiest place I have ever stayed in. My first night there I was cleaning the place, the floors had turned my feet black just walking in it for not even five minutes. The sink looks like it’s never been cleaned, there was black mold around the rim of the sink, the counter had a coating on it, the sink leaked all over the counter when you used it, and there was a box of Kleenex on the counter that was stuck to it from being wet and then dried onto it. The lock on the door was barely hanging on, we had to adjust it to get it to work. We could hear the people in the next room very easily. The cleaners came in the next morning, they said nothing about the filth and all the guy did was sweep the floor. There’s no view worth talking about. There was never any breakfast, light or otherwise when we went to get it already all gone by 7 to 8 AM. The pics on the website are deceiving. They make the pool look much bigger and better than it is. There were never any lounge chairs or any other type of chairs around the pool . The building is nowhere near as nice as the pics. The stairwell smelled like urine. I think a homeless person was hanging out in the small parking lot all night long. The majority of our time was at a friends place. Never again will I come to one of these hotels and I will warn everyone away from it.

This was a last minute decision and the only place that wasn’t sold out on a holiday weekend. I’ll start with the cons There’s so much potential for this place. It is in a great location just across the street from the beach. They need a better cleaning staff. Upon arrival there were random hairs on the toilet. The end tables are peeling. We stayed 2 nights and no one cleaned the room on the 2nd day. The sink drains extremely slow. The AC looks like someone was chewing on it, worked surprisingly well. The AC works so well we were freezing the first night. We requested an additional blanket through their text message app which we never received. Shower curtain had mold on the bottom. The breakfast is not a breakfast it’s more like snacks. The tv volume had to be at max in order to hear it. The good: Location Parking was easy

Horrible! Dirty room with dirty sheets, trash overflowing in the hallways, elevator has burn marks on it! When asked to be checked out early and charges reversed for dirty room was refused! DO NOT RECOMMEND

We did not even stay here. We had to leave immediately after checking in and find a new hotel at 11pm because there were roaches everywhere. I have still not been refunded for the stay we did not have. Absolutely dirty and disgusting. There was poop or blood or both smeared on the walls, roaches coming out of the toilet and in the fridge and all around it. Couldn’t sit in the chair because there was roaches there too. I have pictures of everything and this was disgusting! And then, after we left, this same room which was the last room they had, was re-listed on the site for $65. That’s just absurd.

Not what I expected. Breakfast wasn’t good, coffee was old coffee, dirty sheets , etc.

Very dirty, they don't clean rooms everyday, said breakfast included but they just had some snacks, juice and coffee for breakfast, expired snacks.

We were disappointed with the room. Gentleman at desk walked us to our room so he could spray deodorizer before we entered. Shower curtain had mold on it & floors were so dirty our feet were black. Husband had to locate housekeeping so we could get more towels (there was only 1 bath towel, 2 hand towels, 2 washcloths). Office was locked on several occasions that you were unable to get a cup of coffee. After talking to other visitors they all had the same complaints

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.

Nothing liked about the propery it self. Floors, wall and the elevator were filty! Rooms had hair leying around and the counters, telefone and AC grill were disgusting! The sheets and pillow cases were ok but the towells and bathroom shower courtines had stains and were dingy.

The room was clean and beds comfortable. No closet, no hangers, no chairs, or table in room and bathroom. They claim to have daily housekeeping service but they will only make up your room if you are present in the room. Parking lot was very trashy. We had to ask for clean linens everyday. Dressers drawers are small, so you have to take clothing out of your luggage.

Very conveniently located to the beach. Our only complaint is there was no place to hang clothes or wet towels.

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.

There were very loud people after midnight laughing talking and occasionally kicking doors I expected that to have been stopped

Overall, my stay was fine. The AC unit was a bit louder than expected and the people hanging out in the staircase which was by the room was annoying.

As a senior citizen, I grew up hearing the name Howard Johnson and it's reputation for quality. I, unfortunately didn't find this to be true. The beds were comfy and the room was clean, but practically everything in the room didn't work, i.e. the t.v. the iron, the A/C, the phone, the coffee pot, sometimes no hot water. The fridge and microwave did work, tho. I found the staff to be friendly but a bit lazy. The office was closed alot and it was like pulling teeth to get service. However, I was allowed to leave my luggage in the lobby until my next hotel was ready for check in.

Rooms old.... Bathroom shower head was hanging off and the TV didn't cut off or on it had to stay on...

The pictures on line are definitely deceiving! The mattress pad was stained really BAD (I felt the need to check for bedbugs). The baseboards were very dusty/dirty. Only had 1 chair in room. The bathroom door was broken…cracked and no latch, the toilet clogged TWICE, the bathtub drain (had no stopper) had so much hair in it… We took our bikes ….if there was a bike rack, we could have locked them but had to load them in small elevator each time ☹️

What annoyed me the most was there was no available channels working on my tv

The location is ideal. Room was fine, but no desk chair.. or any chair to sit on.

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.

This was a great stay, I always enjoy this hotel. The staff is awesome, accomidating and friendly. I love the smell of the room. The location is perfect because you're close to everything. I definitely recommend if your looking for a great price to enjoy your time.

The check in staff was not polite. He was doing his job as if someone forced him to do that job. The amount was fully paid in advance as non refundable. He reserved another card for no reason. I am sure not returning to this facility again.

The front office staff of this hotel is very rude and not very accommodating. The property itself is clean enough for what it is. Don’t expect anything over the top. As for the staff…housekeeping and maintenance were great. I’d give them 5 stars. The front office staff, not so much. I am a disabled veteran with a service dog. They demanded to see his paperwork. Look at the ADA.gov website…you cannot demand paperwork. He was in a vest, clearly labeled Service Dog. He was working and sitting calming by my side through all of the drama at the front desk…worse case, my wife and her friend were the ones staying here. My son and the dog were camping a few miles away. One of the evenings my wife was there, we witnessed the front staff in a verbal argument with another guest in the parking lot. Yelling and screaming, almost going to blows. Unprofessional, disrespectful and downright rude. Regardless, no one from my family will be staying here again, ever.

The customer service was superior!!! The family that owns this facility makes you feel like you are family too! I dropped a star because although you can see where updates were made (flooring, new paint on walls, etc.) the materials used were cheap in nature and are falling apart already. The important things were in place so I had nothing to really complain about. The water in the shower was hot and abundant, my room was clean and clean linens were available whenever I needed them. I will warn you that if you need to hang your clothes there is no where to hang them, not even a hook on the walls for towels to dry. I was able to use the bathroom door to hang my towels on without issue though . I have stayed here before and I would do it again!

The worst ever : 1st we were there for 3 nights and just went there to change towels because I ask for it. 2nd my flight was at 4 I ask them to keep my baggages until I leave, they didn’t want to they make me paid an extra day for the baggage I have been in the VB many times all hotel has a baggage room. The biggest problem the language and no manager. Stay away from this hotel

Absolutely Disgusting Do Not Stay Here This place was an absolute nightmare. The photos online are completely misleading this hotel is filthy and run-down. From the moment we walked in, it was clear this was not what we were promised. The front desk staff was incredibly rude. There were three of us, and they only provided two towels. When we asked for another, the man at the front desk acted like we were bothering him and flat-out refused at first. We had to press him just to explain how three people were supposed to share two towels and even then, he showed zero concern or courtesy. The next day, we didn’t even get any wash rags they said they were “out.” How does a hotel run out of basic essentials? This place is a complete catfish. The only reason we stayed both nights was because the stay was non-refundable. We couldn’t check out fast enough. Save yourself the trouble I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone, not even my worst enemy.

Their system put my room reservation on the wrong day and charge my credit card and then told me it was going to take me three days to get it back and that I would have to charge my credit card again at a higher rate in a cost me a lot of time I was out in the cold it took at least an hour and a half to get it straight between them in the hotel. I tried over and over again to get through their phone system to chat online to do anything to get me help and then basically all they did was read me the company line Unbelievable

Good location, staff friendly and great price.

I liked the convenient location if this hotel. Being right across the street from the beach was great and restaurants just around the block. We ordered late check out for 3pm, but at 12pm, the hotel staff barged into our room while we were sleeping. So unprofessional, should have checked first before walking right into our room. They should provide “do not disturb” signs for rooms because there is no reason for you to knock at 10am while we are sleeping for room service.

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.

Room was clean and staff was helpful. We enjoyed our stay. Great room for the price you pay and was close to everything.

Convenient and close to beach

Good location, walk across the street to the beach. The provided breakfast is a joke, it's snacks and coffee. The towels were stained, no hand soap for sink, some shower supplies were empty upon arrival, the bathroom light flickered with a sketchy caulked outlet. Fortunately we were only using the room for snacking and sleeping.

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..

Checkin was kind and humble, was able to be accommodated. Great walking distance to multiple places we wanted to go to. Room was spacious for what we wanted. We came for a family event and our stay was good for the few days here.

The staff was great, I had an issue with my room when I checked in and they addressed it quickly and with no problems. The room was clean and comfortable. Parking was easy and convenient. It's a short walk to the beach and the boardwalk, and it's on the quieter end. Not a bad stay for the price

Great room for the price. Plenty of things to do near by, close to shops and beach. Bedroom and bathroom were very clean and recently updated. We will definitely stay again.

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.

Hotel offer breakfast but they gave us only cakes and yogurt no coffee 😏

Area was not really clean, really poore. Breakfast was a kathastrophe. no Breakfast. Room was more or leas ok. the stay was a catastrophe...i was happy to leav this hotel. sorry to say this.

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.

Very dirty, they don't clean rooms everyday, said breakfast included but they just had some snacks, juice and coffee for breakfast, expired snacks.

I was not a bad stay but I guess I expected more from the pictures posted about the hotel...needs better breakfast areas for guests...

We stayed at the hotel from 8/11/24 to 8/14/24. it was one of the best budget hotels at Virginia Beach ocean front area. It was inexpensive-- won't crush your wallet, offers free breakfast and short walk to the beach. I don't know where the bad reviews were coming from.... In my opinion, you got what you pay for. Howard Johnson is a simple place that won't break the bank. If you are willing to pay more and have better services... Double Tree is located right across the street from the hotel. 1. Room was updated. Even though the renovation work was not the best. It was adequate. 2. The room was pretty clean. Room was spacious. Beds were comfortable. Our only complaint was no place to hand clothes or wet towels. 3. The hotel offered free breakfast which included coffee, yogurt, orange juices, apple juices, muffins and cinnamon rolls. We really appreciated the free breakfast. Nowadays there was hardly any budget hotels that offered free breakfast. 4. This hotel had great customer service. The employees were very helpful and attentive. 5. The only issue we found for the hotel was --the ice machine area that located at the first floor was dark and needed some cleaning. 6. A short walk to the beach. 7. Parking was fine. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.
