Best Hotels near LOFT, Virginia Beach

Holiday Inn markets itself as an upper tier family hotel. This part of the chain is not family friendly. There were two electrical plugs in room #521. One beside the small round pedestal table and one directly across from it between the bed and the window. The table could not have two kids/teens sitting at it unless they can share very well. There was only one end table in the room so I had to use a chair for an end table to place my book and my water on beside the bed. Or I could walk around the bed to use the end table that was between the two beds and my wife was using. If you hare a family of 4 you will notice that there is only the end table in the center so your kids will not be able to game until they fall asleep, or the video games will be on the floor. There are insufficient plugs and flat surfaces in the main room. The bathroom had the plug in the wall opposite from the door way, above and near the toilet. So if you need to use the port for an electric razor or a curling iron you will get in the way of someone using the bathroom or washing their hands. The towels are by the plug-in. In order to stop light from leaking into the room, we had to uude the pants hanger and clip the shades together. They hotel staff does not stay on top of cleanliness or maintenance. On Saturday I reported that there was a broken car window in the overflow lot. The glass was still there Sunday Morning even though our group filled the parking lot on Saturday. Saturday morning there was litter left all over the 3rd floor balcony. They finally got a trash can up there later in the day. Sunday it appears that the restaurant in the hotel did not do the hotel any favors. They piled their garbage on the pool deck in plain sight by the conference rooms that we were using. There is only one stall in the men's room by ballroom F. One of the 4 toilet paper dispensers was broken and the support railing pulled out a quarter inch from the wall.

My daughters favorite hotel on the beach - and the extra amenities for families allows me to work from the hotel if necessary - while my munchkin still has fun.. she loves the kids club even at 10 y/o and the private mini movie theater because she can go ”by herself” since I am only a few feet away. The indoor lazy river pool is a huge hit - and clean and maintained. The outdoor pool is BEACHFRONT..almost in the sand its so well located.The few times we have stayed there the staff was always above and beyond helpful. Downfalls - The A/C units could use an upgrade and the breakfast spot needs some decor upgrades but the food is REAL (not ”pretend scrambled eggs” ) and well prepared and service is good. I wouldn't consider it a ”Luxury” hotel and the seasonal prices are equal to the fancy competitors but I guess that depends on how you define luxury - my daughter would choose this hotel over the new Hilton without question.

Great Bayfront location away from the congestion and craziness of the Ocean Front area. Lovely hotel, Great Beach, Nice Pool, Very Light, Bright and Clean but the best part is their Staff! Friendly, Knowledgeable, Professional, always able to make area suggestions for whateveryou'relookingfor. Great location for a family reunion, wedding/renew your vows on the beach. The only reason they didn't get 5* was this stay we notices several inconsistencies in the Delta Pantry (for certain marriott bonvoy members) as well as in the restaurant. We have always enjoyed the Tin Cup but we're disappointed in the difference between what was on the menu and what had been eliminated but was still listed. Ordered the same breakfast 2 mornings and they were totally different. Small portion of spinach crab dip was yummy but small for $17. Same with Caesar salad and bronzed fish. We'll keep going back as we know they have had recent management changes.

Let me say this is my 3rd vacation here and the WORST. WE drove 9 hours for this trip ! I booked a one bedroom suite and paid a premium for it. Sadly I had more cons than pro's. Here we go.... I KNOW its post-covid and things are different BUT--it does NOT give a hotel ”carte blanche” to give you horrible service. Con's: 1. WE checked in and noticed no chair on oceanfront balcony, I called 4 times in 12 hours and had to wait 24 hours to get one. 2. The furniture in the one bed room suite. We had a couch with chaise, 4 chair dinette--the couch with build in chaise you sank to the floor. It was AWEFUL. It hurt our backs and it was not comfortable at all(it was very old, used and saggy). A couch found on a curb in front of a frat house would be more comfy. I will say the two queen beds were very comfy. 3. The Room--We had to clean our rooms, empty the trash, put our dirty towels in a basket outside our room, request our towels-trash can liners, shampoo. We also had to VACUUM THE ROOM OURSELVES. I requested our room swept after 3 days and after 3 or 4 requests and RUNNING after a maintenance man did I get a vacuum. It was handed to me--(I had called front desk multiple times, never did anyone come)-so I swept my suite myself. 4, Our room was adjacent the ice machine and there was a tall trash can there. Many rooms dumped their trash bags there and once can was filled they put it on the floor. I called front desk AGAIN 3/4 times over 2 days. Finally on the 4 th day it was emptied. 5. Front Desk. Towards the end of my stay, I walked to the front desk and there was an employee roll her eyes when she saw me coming--maybe it was because she was very visibly pregnant ?? There was a nice man there--and he tried, he name was ”Damon”? 6. Laundry Room on 6th Floor. There was TONS AND I MEAN TONS of lint, dryer sheets and trash on the floor. There was a trash can in the laundry but am not sure why floor was filthy with trash. Pros: People this hotel has the best out door pool in Virginia Beach. Its always clean and it has a hot tub, plenty of umbrellas and chairs. The staff outside were very nice, and accommadating. The bar drinks were awesome and priced reasonable. Also the food at the bar was very good. Breakfast was not bad. It had low fat items. Only complaint here my daughter loves peanut butter toast--this Hotel had no peanut butter and no bread to toast. So we bought bread and peanut butter at the local store. Hotel grounds was clean as was garage, and common areas. Maybe the person running the pool should run the hotel? Sadly I won't be back. I may never return to a Marriott property again after this. If I am going to pay what I paid for this vacation, I will rent a VBRO for I got no pampering, no service inside, and it felt like I was a maid for a week.

I came down for a quick getaway with my significant other and furry child. The hotel was better than expected. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything was kept clean and new looking. The free breakfast was decent. Pet friendly. I would stay there again.

I love everything about this hotel except for the hidden charges that we paid upon checking out. But anyway, my family and I enjoyed our stay very much so it’s no big deal.

The hotel is beautiful. Open floor plan with up to date designs. The staff was friendly and helpful from the moment I checked in until the moment I checked out. I stayed in a King with a partial ocean view and city view. The room was comfortable, spacious and clean. I would definitely return again.

So beautiful 🤩 😊😍😘 next time I will go again this hotel 🏨 ❤️
