Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 02 Sep 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The cards in the room advising how cleaning service was handled for sheets and towels was very helpful. Very little noise could be heard between rooms although hall noise was audible. Overall our stay was very nice and we would use the hotel again.

Positives: I appreciated the fact that they had a shuttle service to the beach.

Negatives: Having to use the front entrance elevator when leaving the pool area.

Positives: Clean and excellent cookies.

Negatives: Location

Nice hotel, not within walking distance to the beach but they did have a shuttle. This was a three star but unfortunately this was<BR/>not what we were bidding on, had we bid on a three star we probably got a better price.

Positives: Very friendly front desk staff.

Negatives: No balconies.

Negatives: Bathroom a little small.

Hotel reception was wonderful. They stored our luggage before check-in, so we could hit the beach. Got a call letting us know that they had a room ready for us early which was really nice. Beds were comfortable, great work out room and pool. Kids had a great time. Flat screen<BR/>TV helped us to relax that evening. No complaints.

Positives: Great staff. They were able to hold luggage and room ready before check in time. Staff friendly and cookies.

Negatives: Just when other guest slam their door and stand in hallway talking on cell phones.

Was disappointed the motel hallways were dark and had trash overflowing in trash can by elevator. People gathered by front door smoking.

Positives: Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

Negatives: Dark hallways. Musty odor. Location was in questionable neighborhood.

Overall, the stay was good. The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. However, the rooms were outdated and had a 1980's look to them. Also, unable to rent movies from the television, which is something I personally enjoy doing when staying at a hotel.

Positives: The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean.

Negatives: Outdated appearance, air conditioner didn't work that well, unable to rent movies on TV.

Negatives: I got nothing!

If you get a room where the hall way, and floor above room is tolerable, it is a nice facility.

Positives: The lobby and restaurant and friendly staff.

Negatives: Too much noise from the hall way and the room above us. An unpleasant night.

Loved the comfy beds, super TV, but hardly any channels to watch, color scheme is old looking and too dark, not enough light in hallways and public areas.

Positives: Nice view of the fountain, and comfy bed.

Negatives: Forgot the bacon with room service breakfast, and the colors too dark.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 04 Oct 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

Thought the hotel was going to be nice because the lobby was great. Then I entered the hotel room and it was nasty. The carpet was filthy, the air conditioner was loud and caused everything in the room to be wet.

Positives: Nice lobby.

Negatives: Room was dirty. Carpet was nasty. Air conditioner was noisy and room was damp.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 23 Sep 2010 rated 7 out of 10.

Free Parking, older hotel, Next to convention center, indoor pool, Max and Erma's restaurant in hotel. Clean room, furniture was a bit worn. Overall a good value

Positives: Price was OK for the quality, No 'Bargain'

Negatives: Hotel is a bit Tired - not 3 Star as advertised.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 04 Sep 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

Hallways and elevators were very stinky. Too far from the beach to be considered a beach hotel. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Positives: Friendly.

Negatives: Smell.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 28 Aug 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Staff was friendly, the rooms were damp and some what dated. The room was small as was the bathroom. When the fighter jets quit flying around 10:00 p.m. the room was quiet the rest of the night.

Positives: It was close to the beach.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 24 Jun 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

Wonderful staff and a beautiful hotel. The beds were wonderful, the hotel had a full bar and restaurant off the lobby, the pool was in excellent condition and very clean. The hotel had shuttles to the beach every 30 minutes and they go out of their way to make your stay pleasurable. We arrived hours before check in and were still able to get a room immediately as well as complementary cookies for the kids. I recommend it to anyone and will stay there again myself.

Positives: Beautiful room, great staff, great room service, excellent cleaning staff and great experience!

Negatives: I like everything and would stay again.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 08 Jun 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel was lovely.

I took my youngest child to VA Beach for her 21st birthday and it was close to the resort and easy to park and get to where we were going and the room was clean and the pool was great. Room service was also excellent.

Positives: No problems.

Negatives: The center elevator did not work properly.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 18 Apr 2010 rated 7 out of 10.

It's a perfect place to stay if your going to the convention center. Its just steps away. However, if you are<BR/>trying to enjoy the awesome beach, don't stay here. Room is nice but no kitchen or fridge, but they offer room service from a pricey restaurant in the lobby. Swimming pool was clean and monitored daily for temp and Ph, but had a hole in skylight directly above. Its seems like a good place if your on a business trip, but not a romantic or family vacation.

Positives: Swimming pool was refreshing, liked the weight room.

Negatives: Ice machine didn't work on my floor, was briefly stuck in elevator.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 13 Apr 2010 rated 6 out of 10.

They had enough openings so we got a non-smoking room. Our room was mostly clean except for bathroom floor and edges of room had dirt. Dogs ruled the hotel. You have to hold your breath in elevator and halls. Dogs barked at all hours. Just remember when you use priceline you do not have a choice on room preference. Once you arrive it's whatever they have open and they'll try to work with you, but you are not top priority. No room guarantees at all.

Positives: Beds were super comfortable and clean.

Negatives: Allowed any size dog; elevators/halls reek of animal

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 23 Mar 2010 rated 1 out of 10.

This hotel is not worth 2-star. Small rooms, bad view. Unfriendly in accommodating requests.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Dingy room, and no view.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 30 Dec 2009 rated 2 out of 10.

The hall to the rooms smelled of smoke as soon as you get off of the elevator. The toilet wouldn't flush.

Positives: The front desk gave us hot cookies.

Negatives: The toilet did not work well; the hall smelled of smoke.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 23 Dec 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

Met all expectations and would stay here again.

Negatives: Parking lot was very dark.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 14 Dec 2009 rated 3 out of 10.

Nice property, but parking is horrendous, and they make no effort to take this into account when scheduling mid-week events.

Positives: Nice rooms.

Negatives: Scheduled an evening event and took no consideration of the lack of parking that would ensue, only response: &quot;we're really sorry&quot;.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 12 Dec 2009 rated 2 out of 10.

Staff not able to help with another room after they confirmed that<BR/>I would have a king size bed - they said that they sold out through their own reservation line

Positives: Ample room.

Negatives: Did not keep word to reserve a king bed for me,

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 05 Dec 2009 rated 4 out of 10.

I was disappointed with the quality of the room. I walked into the lobby and was excited. When I got to my room I was disappointed. The room was very small hardly no room to move around. I stayed at the Wyndham the week before and it was the best hotel experience I've had in years.

Positives: Lobby was pretty.

Negatives: The room was not as pictured online.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 01 Dec 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

Overall a pretty clean, comfortable quiet hotel compared to many I have stayed at Virginia Beach, pretty good location, nice towels both at the pool and room, staff friendly, exterior does need an update, pool area nice except the hole in the skylight, restaurant on site a plus.

Positives: Pool water temp 85+ F. Room had nice towels, decor.

Negatives: Pool air temp could be warmer, hole in skylight at pool, needs fixing.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 14 Oct 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

Overall a nice hotel with 3-star, not 3.5-star finishes although it does have many of the 3.5-star amenities. Bed was comfy, warm cookie-bravo, nice staff. A/c was loud and low-tech. Some items in bathroom details were low-end or worn out and in stark contrast with the rest of the nice things. Like a Mercedes with hub caps. Not critical but noticeable.

Positives: Doubletree chain is good for Priceline price was excellent value.

Negatives: Compared to high quality, a/c and details of worn out items.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 12 Oct 2009 rated 2 out of 10.

I would not recommend this hotel if you are looking for three-star accommodations. The room was rather small, and the bathroom facilities were in dis-repair. There was no complimentary breakfast (you can find this amenity at a Hampton). My entire experience was a complete disappointment! I would not recommend this Doubletree to anyone unless you only need a place to lay your head.

Positives: It was in VA Beach.

Negatives: The bathroom was in dis-repair and the shower was not hot.
