We had a wonderful stay at the Oceanfront Inn in Virginia Beach! The hotel was clean, well-maintained, and perfectly located right on the beach. Our room had two comfortable queen beds and a private balcony with an amazing ocean view—it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunrise. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. There was plenty of convenient parking, and the on-site pool was consistently clean and never overcrowded. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely stay here again!

Our room was clean and had a great ocean view. There were some elevator issues, one was out of order. We only stayed one night and didn't really get to use the pool or the eating area. Parking lot in front was very helpful!

The air conditioner did not function properly as it will not go below 75%, even when adjusting the thermostat. We notified front desk, who then sent maintenance to repair. The Maintenance man came, claimed the unit had a lot of sitting water that needed to be vacuumed out (which he did) to resolve the malfunction. Welp, it did not! The room remain at 75-79 degrees. Front desk was notified again, no resolve. The hotel is a bit dated. The room was not thoroughly cleaned (we bought our own cleaning supplies to disinfect). Pro - Location is great!

Staff was friendly. Hotel was very quiet even though there are renovations being performed. Did not use the indoor pool on this trip but saw that lots of others did and they really looked like they enjoyed it. Room was very clean.
