It is okay to stay in an old hotel but this one is a mess (don't ever stay here in your life -worst in Virginia Beach). You can hear people voices through the walls, the towlet is small, the room smells like meldew, and the people who work here are rude. I am down here for the Final Destination Cheer... More

The garden,located inside the hotel is quite pretty and relaxing..inddor pool is nice, but water was too cold that evening. The thing we liked so much about it was the private first... More

Perfect location right on the beach. It`s an older hotel but our room was clean and we had a very good service. We had a two double beds with kitchenette. Perfect for us. Very nice view of the ocean. Very nice terrace overlooking the ocean (piknik table, long chairs). Will go back.

My husband and my 10 month old daughter and I stayed at this hotel last weekend. Overall, it was a pretty clean place to stay for the money. The pool was taken care of and all the plants in the green house area too. Very nice maintenance man. The main thing was the carpet in the hotel room was really... More

When you first walk in the lobby it smelled very bad. The room was very small and the TV made a very bad noise and then went dead. Told the man at the front desk and he had it fixed with then one hour. Later that night my son said to me mom look at that bug on the curtain.... More

We booked the Sea Side Hotel because we looked at the pictures, didn't think it was bad, and had a reunion at the Holiday Inn down the road and we didn't want to stay there because the room prices were too expensive, however upon reflection we should've stayed there instead of this old dump. After we checked in (a very... More

My husband and daughter and I stayed in the Sea Side Hotel just this past weekend (5/27/11 - 5/30/11). The Hotel was clean but other than that I'm not rating high. The room was small and had no ocean view. One window looked out at the street and the other view was of the breezeway at the front door. On... More

When i checked in, i was told MANY times, be careful with the parking, the spaces are small! I was driving a Ford Explorer, so evidently i was... More
