Top Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center Hotel Reviews

Ocean Resort

8/10 Good

"We stayed with our baby so I was a very picky mom but was very impressed with the property. Our room and balcony were clean, worst part was the AC leaked on the balcony but that is to be expected, just wear your sandals. The indoor pool was perfect for our afternoon cool down and easy to be out of the sun. Our family will be back!"

Schooner Inn

8/10 Good

"The hotel setting is amazing. It is located at the end of the boardwalk that runs along the beach. The view is amazing. I was able to watch surfers and dolphins with our morning coffee on the deck. On arrival, I was disappointed to find that the hotel did not have on record that I had requested a room next to my friend. My friends also requested a room near me. They were not able to give me a room on the same floor. The hotel structure is older which you can see in the hallways. The rooms are all updated though. We also noticed the safe had a rusty hinge making it unable to use. Another problem area was the outlet near the sink. It was not working and I had to move the coffee maker to another area. Overall, I would consider staying at this hotel again."

Holiday Inn Va Beach-Oceanside (21st St) by IHG

8/10 Good

"The property was in a great location. The fact that it is on the beach is hard at times to maintain a very clean main floor. Lots of people think it is okay to come out of the pool all wet and walk on the main floor with no regards to others. The biggest problem I had was it appeared to be mold on the ceiling. I took several pictures and show the front desk when I checked out. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant attached to the holiday is very nice."

Sandcastle Resort On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean. The breakfast staff was friendly"
