Don't use the elevator, it's really old and scary. The staff was very helpful and friendly, fun. The rooms are old, but it is oceanfront. Nice pool. Toilet kept breaking down, they came to fix it three times. Not that bad for the price and location. more

When I looked at TripAdvisor for the bad reviews of this hotel/motel, I was a little iffy, but it was in the price range, we don't have huge sums of money. When we arrived, we were able to get our room before check in. I was a little shocked by how hot it was in the lobby and the dress... more

For a $147 a night you get sheets with huge bloodstains smears on the bathroom wall that look like feces and a desk clerk that could care less. We demanded our money back and moved to a much nicer one for $10 dollars more. Avoid this seedy dump and look elsewhere. more

My husband & I spent Memorial Day weekend at the Diplomat - Friday afternoon through Monday morning. This was our 5th consecutive year at the Diplomat. We were happy to learn that it was open for the 2009 season, as we expected that it would be torn down to accomodate the neighboring resort's expansion. We learned that it us under... more

The owner of the DIPLOMAT MOTOR INN, MIKE L., and his staff in VIRGINIA BEACH, VA provided excellent accommodations for me. I was extremely impressed with the OCEANFRONT view and hospitable staff during my stay. My room was priced well below market value. This is the ONLY hotel that I will recommend to ANY of my family, friends, and patrons... more

Cancel your reservations! This hotel was the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed at. The staff is extremely rude. The Hotel was recently bought out by another company and the company plans to tear down the building before labor day. The rooms were very hot, the beds and sheets were dirty. I would NOT recommend this to a friend... more

If you're looking for the Ritz this is NOT the place for you. If you are looking for a nice, CLEAN, friendly hotel this place is great! I've never had someone be so friendly when checking into and out of a hotel. The view was amazing!!! The beds were very clean. I even got the impression that the comforters were... more
