The staff was awesome. Checkin was a little rushed. He was on the phone when working with us and never got my Rewards number entered. I cleared that up the next day. House Keeping did not refill coffee or bring new cups/glasses to use. I tried to get some from the cleaning person but they did not speak English. But we always enjoy it here.

Reasons to not go there !!!!

I found a total lack of service and willingness to help to be the rule rather than the exception through out the property. The restaurant servers were excellent and are the only reason to visit this property.

The property was very easy to get to and close to our daughter . The cleaning staff was not friendly not even a Hi or good morning 😞. The refrigerator was not cooling and it was an important part of this trip ….my husband is a diabetic and needs to keep his insulin cold . When calling down to the desk and reporting this …it took them at least 3 hours to get it resolved . That set our first night there with aggression.

I had a stain on my floor and my room had an odor. The buildings where the rooms were just smelled old and not pleasurable. There are ducks that walk around and use the bathroom everywhere, and although i believe in nature. I also believe that the facility could hire someone to pick up feces. The staff were just OK. At upon arrival the staff did try to get my room situation handled promptly. I was told by Expedia that i would have free breakfast and i was charged. At checkout there was no urgency with dealing with that matter. They didnt seem bothered. I needed to use the ATM, and i was asked if i could wait because there was a wedding. I feel like all the urgency went to the wedding and screw everyone else. All in all, the stay was average. Breakfast was cold. I enjoyed the fruit and my tea that i purchased myself. The waiter was nice. He went above and beyond for me.
Clearly the ducks own this place

Amazing

It is a beautiful hotel and grounds. We felt safe and it had a great central location. I would highly recommend. Our only issue was room service availability ending at 9pm because that’s when the restaurant closes. We did Uber eats but had to pick up the food at the front desk during torrential rain. That was out of everyone’s control. Overall everything was fantastic.

Number one place to stay in Va Beach!

Extremely beautiful property, friendly staff from the receptionist to the house cleaners, location is prefect as it is so near to so many stores, and the beds are so comfortable!! This was our second time staying here. If you are a cyclist, you’ll have so many routes to bike right from the property.

The air conditioner made terrifying sounds the entire night and then it broke. Also kind of gross and weird property. I shouldn't even say it's in Virginia Beach because it took $100 car ride to get to Virginia Beach.

Disliked: Amenities
The front desk was not very welcoming. They seemed totally bored and just wanted to give me my key. I had to ask for a clearer explanation of directions to my room. The person seemed annoyed. The charger outlets on one side of the bed weren’t working. There was a dead bug on the floor. It looked like the telephone hadn’t been dusted in a while. The room hadn’t been cleaned one day. I called to ask for it to be cleaned. The front desk wanted to know what I needed done in the room. I said that I needed towels and the trash emptied. They brought one set of towels—3 hours later—and didn’t empty the trash. For a 4 star hotel, it was extremely disappointing. I will never stay there again or recommend it to anyone.

Serene grounds, beautiful main building and Swan Terrace restaurant was wonderful. Rooms were comfortable although a bit dated with the carpets and AC system noise. Grounds can be better maintained (there should be no smoking allowed, especially in and around the children’s playground, and the pond needs a thorough cleanup as we noted several garbage debris such as plastic bags and cans in the pond during our stay). Windows also need attention (cleaning). Overall beautiful grounds and place to stay, service was good and attached restaurant, the outdoor pool and slide and the gym were all great amenities that our family personally appreciated. Can become a 5 star property with the changes noted.
