Complimentary fitness center access at local gym

1 mile distance from Virginia Beach Convention Center

“The Oceanfront Inn's location directly on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk puts guests steps from the sand; oceanfront views and private balconies enhance the experience, while the indoor pool offers year-round swimming. Despite some potential disorganization at the front desk, friendly staff contribute to a positive atmosphere, and I think the hotel's family ownership really shines through. A great option for family beach vacations.”

8.0/10

The hotel is located right on the beach, providing breathtaking ocean views that enhance the overall experience. The staff is warm and accommodating, making my stay enjoyable, but some aspects, like the bathroom size and dining options, could use improvement. The swimming pool area is clean, but the restaurant was closed during my visit, and parking space is tight. Overall, the hotel offers a great value for its prime beachfront location.

Rooms

7.0

The room was spacious enough for my family and had a nice ocean view. However, the bathroom could be improved as it felt quite cramped for the size of the room.

Service

9.0

The service was genuinely attentive and caring. The staff helped me check in late at night without any issues, which was very accommodating.

Location

10.0

The location is fantastic, with direct beach access and close proximity to local attractions. The view from the balcony, overlooking the ocean, was a highlight.

Dining

6.0

Although the on-site restaurant was closed for renovations, there were nearby dining options that I enjoyed. However, there wasn't a free breakfast available.

Facilities

8.0

The pool area was nice and well maintained, but it would have been great if the indoor pool was heated during the cooler months.
