Econo Lodge on the Ocean, Virginia Beach

It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at Sweethoteldeals. Net They usually have some pretty good deals on there!

The reason I say we couldnt have picked a better hotel to stay in is simply due to the staff. Before choosing a hotel prior to vacation I read the review on this hotel and someone else put, "this is not a 5 star hotel but the staff was amazing!" That explains it all. The hotel is a little out dated but very clean. It was well worth the time and money spent.

We stayed here for the first time last week and really enjoyed our stay. The staff is very friendly and the rooms were really clean. The best part was waking up to the view of the ocean. Would most definitely stay here again and would recomend to friends and family!

We stayed here 07/13-07/17/10. Price was a little over $900 for 2 adults. I read many reviews online before choosing this hotel. We wanted to stay on the beach, so this put our price higher than expected. We had a AAA discount. I also called the hotel directly to make the reservation. To my suprise, the price was the same online as it was when I called. They also sent me via the mail a print out of my confirmation. I did have to pay one night say in advance. The rest I paid we when arrived. The hotel is 3 stories and no elevators. An employee will greet you in the parking lot when you pull in as there are not many spots. The staff has the parking lot under control and advise you where to park. The staff at the front desk is very polite and recommended a local restaurant to go to. Tautogs on 23rd/Atlantic. It was very good. They even printed out directions for us. The room was very clean as was the outside pool. As we were coming and going, we saw cleaning staff all day. The stairs and hallways outside are carpeted and they were constantly cleaning. The bathroom was a bit small, but it was clean and served it's purpose. Balcony had great view of the ocean and boardwalk.. it was a little small, but just enough room for the 2 of us. AC in the room worked great. There is a fridge with a little freezer and a safe. Beds were comfortable and pillows seemed new. The gentleman that also was maintaining the pool checked the chlorine levels several times. The results are posted by the pool. He would also be seen hosing off the deck around the pool in the morning. I worked at a pool for 10 years, so I was glad to see someone keeping it clean and maintaining the chemicals for it. There is also an outside shower to rinse off the sand before getting in the pool. The pool is a little small, however we had 2 full sized rafts which we laid on in the pool and typically no more than a couple people were in it at a time. The sun is on the pool most of the day, which is nice if you were tired of the sand at the beach. They also have a little continental breakfast - cereals, coffee, OJ, pastries, muffins and bagels. The coffee was very good too. No need to buy a fancy coffee down the street. Not really any room to eat in the lobby, but we would sit at one of the tables by the pool to have breakfast. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone that would like to stay at VA beach. If we go back to VA beach, we will be staying here again.

Balcony overlooked the ocean and all the Christmas lights on the beach and boardwalk. The room was clean, everyone was very pleasant and made my stay very enjoyable. The location is centralized, making it easy to get everywhere. This is a great choice for a place to stay when visiting Virginia Beach.

The place is the best. They were extremely attentive and helpful. Art, at the front desk, is a true professional who makes everyone feel important. Parking is tight, but it's right there. Rooms were clean and comfortable, with a fridge, microwave, safe, and a great balcony view of the beach and ocean. It was great!

For the price and location you can't beat this place. You are not at the Hilton so what are you expecting? We love the service we get from the staff. The rooms are clean and that is what is important. The view is great and is out of the rat race of the busy part of the beach. We go back every year and already booked for next year. Can't wait!!!

I loved the view from the balcony the most of anything. I spent every night sitting the with a beer and just listening to the waves. The staff was very friendly and even tried to accomodate my family bringing a BBQ grill for the 4th of July. Our room had a kitchen in it so that my family could save money on takeout. One bad thing was that roomservice missed my room a couple of times. Overall though, this was a quality place to stay. Right on the beach boardwalk. Memories, sweet memories.

it was ok. thought it would be better for that price.great view. i just love the beach. you don't stay in the room all the time anyway.

This was our fourth year going to Virginia Beach. Every year we stayed at a different hotel and this year, after reading the reviews on-line, we decided to stay at the Econo-Lodge. Glad we made the right choice this year. The rooms were clean and staff very friendly. Free use of bikes, and nice swimming pool. We will be coming back again. This was by far the best place we stayed
