Hidden Gem of Hampton Roads
Where hotel prices by the beach are $250 per night or more, one or two that are fantastic with a lot value stand before us. This is the one in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Although it is noty directly on the beach people want to be on (Virginia Beach), there is a lot of shopping, history, and attractions that are just footsteps away.
The Duke of York Motel has been on that beachfront landscape for almost 3 generations. It prices range from $50 or less in the winters and $100 or less in the summer. Although due to the blustery cold gust in the wintertime due to its coastal area, I would not recommend going to this hotel or any beachside hotel in the winter. It is phonominal in the summer due to the renovated waterfront called Riverside that has a great restaurant. But if you want malls and stuff like that you can have a 10 minute drive to Newport News, Hampton, or Williamsburg for more shopping and restaurants.
Although like most family-run motels, they aren't the Williamsburg Inn 10 miles away. But it's the best value in Hampton Roads for value and proximity to the beach.
