We met up with friends and their family for a week. We booked here upon their brother's recomendation. I booked online and there was a mix up from the beginning. I canceled, rebooked and called to confirm that the mix up was corrected. I was assured that there was no problem. Upon arrival I found that it was not corrected... More

Front desk is rude and very unhelpful. I hope they close this one down. The management obviously doesn't care about what people think and doesn't improve the situation even though there have been issues with the customer service.

My husband and I have been to Virginia Beach 5 times in the last 2 years and we always stay at the Seaside. Yes the rooms are older but the rooms are clean and cozy. They're a great place to shower and sleep and watch a little tv in between. We don't normally go on vacation to stay in a... More

My husband recently booked this place for a 2-night stay in Virgina Beach. The reason he booked it was the price, however, you do get what you pay for. They told us we had a "garden view", well that was quite the laugh as the view turned out to be just an enclosed courtyard that wasn't conducive even in the... More

This little hotel was affordable in comparison to the high priced offerings on the beach front. It's a family owned affair I believe. We had an "inside" room, as they have enclosed the old courtyard and put in a greenhouse. I really loved the fresh flowers in the greenhouse entry room. You can smell fresh jasmine because there really is... More
