“I think that this oceanfront hotel stands out for its unique design, drawing inspiration from Virginia Beach's local attractions. I appreciate the effort to provide a vibrant atmosphere, with live entertainment at the on-site restaurant. While some rooms may show wear, the central location near the boardwalk is a definite plus.”
