“Home sweet home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
5
people found this review helpful

I stay at a lot of hotels in a lot of places for a long time. My favorites at Residence Inns and out of all of them this residence inn is my favorite. I travel on business and anywhere from two weeks to four at a time. I was at the Residence Inn at 3217 Atlantic Ave Virginia Beach VA and what made this so special was the people...all the people. From Lillian at the front desk to Sherry from housekeeping, all were terrific! I don't know all their names, but every single person ALWAYS had a smile on their face and a pleasant thought. I truly felt like I was home when I came back at the end of the day. The dark haired young lady at the front desk always and I mean always had a smile on her face, the valet always had my car back out front BEFORE I needed it and the young lady who regularly cleaned my room were all just terrific. The food was always hot and plentiful. The whole facility was spotless.

Room Tip: There isn't a bad room in the place! All face the ocean. the higher up you go the better view of...

“A little worn, but still VERY comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012
6
people found this review helpful

Let me preface this by saying we LOVED our stay at this hotel and will definitely be back. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were more than well appointed and every room is ocean front. We were traveling as a family and the suites are perfect for just that. The staff is super friendly, always greeting you with a smile and always fast with any request you may have. The breakfast was delicious and full of variety in a brightly sunlit room right on the ocean. The pool was nice and a fun time for my husband and I with our little one.

The only down side is that the hotel does need a bit of a refresh, but ONLY in the furniture aspect of the guest rooms. The bedding was new as was the case goods, but the furniture was showing a bit of wear which is typical for any oceanfront hotel, especially ones that are a suite.

Parking is at a premium but the nice thing is that they offer complimentary valet parking so if you do indeed have to park offsite, they can do it for you.

“I did not want to leave...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

This place had everything we needed to feel the comforts of home. We were in a room on the 2nd floor and it was wonderful. Initially I was disappointed about being on the 2nd floor because I like the solitude of being higher up. But this floor allowed us a clear viiew of all the lights and a very large balcony. I will say the room was a little noisy because of the refrigerator.

Room Tip: Rooms on the 2nd floor come with large balconys.

“Best at the Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011
7
people found this review helpful

We have stayed at most of the decent hotels at the beach and we think this one is by far the best. The staff is super friendly from front desk to housekeeping. The housekeeper noticed my kids ate all the popcorn, so she left us many more packs. This hotel is one of very few hotels that have suites in this town. They are laid out well with full kitchen, living room and separate bedroom. There is never a problem to get two queen beds like at many suite hotels now that cater to business travelers. The decor of the rooms are great being beach cottage themed. The breakfast is wonderful and the evening meal/reception on weekdays is a huge plus. It is also located in the nicest area of the oceanfront with great shops, restaurants and music. If you can splurge, stay here and you will enjoy your stay.

“Very dog friendly hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011
6
people found this review helpful

This hotel is very true to its mission in being dog friendly. Beginning with the jar of dog treats on the counter, the front desk staff could not have been more friendly, accomodating and welcoming. We were there in the fall so dogs, on leash, are welcome on the beach and boardwalk. The ocean views were spectacular and the location was great! Every morning there was a sumptous, free breakfast which cannot be beat.

The only criticisms that I have is that housekeeping in the common areas was spotty, the sofa bed left much to be desired and the furniture in the room was somewhat stained but this may have been because dogs are allowed. My travel companion had continuing problems accessing the internet, as the hotel's wi fi was not working for most of the time we were there.

Overall though, this was a great place to stay, the staff was wonderful and I would certainly return!

Room Tip: All rooms are ocean side and the view is great!
