Top Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center Hotel Reviews

Schooner Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Will definitely be back!!"

Surfbreak Virginia Beach Oceanfront, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and had a great ocean view, and having Calypso right there in the hotel was a huge bonus (they have killer happy hour menu). The only negative was that the parking was about a block away from the hotel. But everything else was great."

Seashire Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This was my third year staying at Seashire for the weekend of the Air Show. I love the location and the value is very good."

Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront

8/10 Good

"Stay was Ok Not exceptional"

Breakers Resort Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beach view was great. There was a great Mexican restaurant a hundred feet away that we went to twice during our stay."

Sandcastle Resort On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel staff was fantastic. 2 out of the 3 elevators were working, and this caused long waiting periods to get upstairs and downstairs. Ordered food from the restaurant, and nobody called to tell us it was ready resulting in soggy food. Not cool for what we paid. Hallways were dirty, but the rooms were ok; smaller than expected though. Furniture could stand to be updated as it was visibly damaged and falling apart. Some of the dresser drawers would hardly close. The batteries were dead in the safe. Aside from all of the above, we truly enjoyed our stay. Everyone we spoke with that worked at the hotel was fantastic and helpful. The location is great, and we were able to enjoy music from the restaurant below on our balcony. We had fun watching people get up early to get a morning surf in as well as watch the sun rise; truly spectacular. Pool was REALLY chlorinated, but we had a great time regardless. Awesome shower water pressure. We will definitely stay here again."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Virginia Beach (Oceanfront)

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean. Beds were comfortable. Quiet setting. Great view. Breakfast was ok."

Hampton Inn Virginia Beach-Oceanfront South

8/10 Good

"Hotel was great, staff were awesome, breakfast buffet was nice, room was clean, however the pool was gross and very cold. Just don't go to the pool and you will be happy with the hotel. Ocean front was awesome, could open the door on the balcony and hear the waves! Also, on Saturday of our stay we probably saw a dozen dolphins playing right off shore. You won't regret this stay if you can live without the pool."

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Virginia Beach At The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Good!"
