“Only so-so”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

The pluses to the hotel is that it's on the water, the view is spectacular and the price was great. The downside is that room had a kitchenette, but not a plate or fork to be had. There was a coffee pot with complimentary coffee packets, but no tea. The room was worn. It looked as though it had been decorated with curbside throw-aways. The desk chair was so worn you could see the fabric under the pleather. The most annoying was the cable service was cutting in and out and the TV picture was pixelating. We called the front desk and were told that there was little to done to fix it other than calling the cable company. The desk clerk said she would call facilities and see what could be done. It improved slightly, but the problem returned the following morning.

Room Tip: Request a room on a top floor at the end of the hallway away from the elevator and ice machine.

“Nice Courtyard...good location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

Wanting to take pictures of the sunrise we selected this hotel . It was a large room. Great view of the Atlantic. ...all rooms have views. We did use the dominoes that you can borrow from the front desk...( ours had the right number but 2 of one of the dominoes). We had to get the tub drain worked on as the water was slow to disappear. However, that was taken care of promply. Check- in was OK. The drink machine had cokes at $2.00. The Marriott North has cokes at $1.50...interesting. The next morning we asked for late check out and the front desk was so very friendly ...and accomidating! Self parking. Restaurants are close to the hotel. There is an $11.00 breakfast each morning....with a made to order omlet station.
What you would expect from a Courtyard. Enjoy.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the 4th floor or above or the lights from the board walk are very bright.

Thank you for the kind comments about the hotel! I’m glad you got a chance to use some of our amenities while you were staying with us. And I’m having our team go through the domino sets at the front desk now to track down that extra domino and make sure we get it back where it belongs. :-)

Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to see you when you return to our area again.

“Wonderful location and value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

We stayed here on Christmas evening while visiting family members who live in Virginia Beach. We've previously stayed at the Residence Inn several blocks to the north for many years but have stopped staying there due to the increasingly run down condition of the Residence Inn. The Courtyard had it all: very, very quiet; lovely sound of ocean waves crashing; enchanting view of the ocean and the Christmas lights on the boardwalk; nice fitness center; excellent breakfast; extremely courteous and helpful staff and ample parking. We splurged a bit and opted for the deluxe corner one-bedroom room and felt it was worth every penny. Huge suite. We will always return with enthusiasm!

Thanks for the great comments! I’ll be sure to pass them on to our staff and let them know you enjoyed staying with us. I’m also glad you got to experience the Holiday Lights at the Beach. It’s a nice display that the city of Virginia Beach puts on, and luckily is located right in front of our hotel. I can see the lights every day from my window and sometime go up to one of our higher floors just to look over the balcony and see them.

I’m glad we were able to accommodate you when you were in town for the holiday season. We look forward to serving you on a return trip to our hotel!

You name it:
Price
Ocean View
Cleanliness
Great staff (Shannon especially)
Breakfast (great made-to-order omelettes)
Location
It is all just plain excellent. If this hotel is in the price range you want, there is no reason to go any where else. I hate to sound like an advertisement, but I can't help it, this place is run by pros.

“Delighted!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

people found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights for a little getaway on our ride home from NC.
We had booked a corner room / oceanfront for a what I thought was a reasonable price. Was not sure what to expect. We were delighted to find we had a large 2 room SE facing suite with kitchen and living room and the most amazing views from our balcony.

The staff was extremely helpful - pointed us to some excellent restaurants (31 Ocean) where we got a great Thxgiving dinner! A really nice, clean hotel, could maybe use a little updating, but this staff was so accomadating, could be easily overlooked. We will stay again!

Room Tip: Southeast corner with oceanfront balcony - well worth the extra $

I’m glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and that our staff was able to accommodate you during your time at our hotel. As a note to other TripAdvisor members, we are beginning our renovation in just a few short weeks, and the whole hotel will be transformed into a brand new Courtyard! The process will be fairly quick, and the new design package that has been selected looks great. I’d invite you to come back to our hotel after the renovations are complete to see the updated product and I’m sure you’ll be impressed.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about our hotel.
