Me,my husband and our 4 yr old stayed here for 6 nights, we had a great time, the location was good just 15 minutes from the beach, malls and restaurants near by as well,(if you need a fridge you have to request one), the hotel experience was great, after reading some reviews I was a little nervous about staying here but I'm glad I did, hotel is very clean(except pool needs a lil' cleaning) I recommend this hotel and I will definetly stay here again, we didnt eat here but the restaurant onsite is only open to 10am, they do have a small area with sandwiches and snack open 24hrs.

I stayed here for a business trip and it wasn't the nicest place especially for a Courtyard, my biggest peeves were A. there was no hair dryer, what kind of hotel doesn't have a hairdryer in 2008, and B. they charged way too much on my credit card so I had to call and get it fixed. I wont be staying here again. I will be parking up in the Springhill Suites right off 264.

Spent 3 nights here this past weekend. Got a great rate of $59 per night, WITH breakfast! Too bad that was the end of the good!

First, we got lousy directions. Then, we got upgraded to a suite (GREAT-as we should be, due to my Marriott status!) BUT the suite was in need of some repair. The lamp in the bedroom was not working properly, some of the fixtures in the bathroom were not properly installed, the shower diverter did not fully work, the toilet was slow to flush and there was some mold (ick?) in the mini-fridge!

Breakfast was a mess as well. The food was always empty, the dishes were dirty and the service, while friendly, was pretty bad. In the hotel's defense, tow cooks quit in two days. Plus, they have a new GM who has only been at the hotel for 2 weeks! Not good.....and most of the problems have been ongoing...things don't break or get dirty that fast. There is a real need for training here!

Location wise, the hotel is about 10 minutes from Portsmouth and Norfolk and maybe 20 minutes from Va Beach and various Naval stations, so that is a good point.

The associates were very friendly, despite some overall lack of knowledge on their parts. I was overcharged by $80 per night since when they upgraded me, no one adjusted the rate back down! And their so-called security guard is a waste of money! All he does is lean on the front desk all night eating chips and drinking soda. He wouldn't make a group of 10 teens get out of the lobby/business center at 11:30 in the evening!

All in all the place is NOT a dump.....it just needs some TLC! I would personally choose another hotel, but if you get a decent rate and won't be spending much time in the room (we were attending a dog show in Portsmouth) you will be fine.

Read the reviews - here on business - not looking for anything fancy. Apparently they have changed from being a business hotel to P-A-R-T-A-Y central. At 12 MIDNIGHT a man with two women on his arm checked into the adjoining room next to me - loud obnoxious and ready to have F-U-N!! Took two calls to security and a threat to call the Virginia Beach police to get them to get him to be quiet. I dont know if they ever moved him. Its my experience that once the hookers move in - it no longer is a safe place to stay. I would strongly advise all business women to avoid this place. Hookers equal drugs and std's. It wasnt the cleanest looking but the sheets looked okay. This is only the second time I've stayed in a courtyard in the last year and I have to say - they are going downhill rapidly. I used to be a regular at the courtyards but now go to the Springhill Suites or the Hilton Garden Inn. I'm on the road about 120 nights per year rarely find anything to complain about BUT wanted to warn any female travelers to stay away from this place!!
