Where is the best place to stay in Virginia Beach???

I need some help. My boyfriend and I have decided to go to Va Beach this month(February, 2008)and I would like to find a hotel that fits our needs- or at least narrows it down to a few choices instead of a bunch of hotels to decide from. Neither of us have been to Va Beach in many many years.I can%26#39;t wait to see how its changed! I would like an ocean front room, on the boardwalk,close to things. I am a stickler on having a nice bathroom(prefer jacuzzi-but not a must). I dont want to spend over $100 a night for the room, prefer to have it around $75 st most. I know I can get a nice room for the low price in the off-season...there%26#39;s just soooooo many to look at. Could someone please help me to narrow it down? Thanks.

Since I live here, I don%26#39;t stay in the hotels, so I can%26#39;t give you first-hand help there. But until someone else comes along with a recommendation, why don%26#39;t you look at vbhma.com. It%26#39;s the hotel association website. You can browse all the member hotels, or you can narrow your search according to the amenities you desire.

Thank you!!! I will take a look.

I have not stayed at these hotels, but they are 2 of the newest ones on the oceanfront (might get a good deal during off season):

Hilton 31st and Springhill Suites (not sure of address but it%26#39;s the only Springhill on oceanfront). Check reviews, amentities, %26amp; price to see if these might be what you are looking for. Also, since you haven%26#39;t been to the beach for many years, click on ';know before you go'; in the left column and locate an article titled ';getting around';. This provides great, concise, info about the oceanfront area and how to determine which hotels are on the oceanfront/boardwalk. Good luck and enjoy your trip.

I%26#39;m thinking you must have checked out the other VB forum posts, such as the current %26#39;hotels%26#39; already.

Try the word search...the little empty box above these forum topics and see if exactly what you want comes up.

There was lots of discussion on budget hotels, but they%26#39;re not all on the oceanfront.

The Hilton is indeed beautiful...but I don%26#39;t know about the under $100 rate there.

I wonder if Springhill Suites%26#39; rate would be around what you%26#39;re looking for. They are very new and we found their bathrooms totally spotless. It%26#39;s around 9th and near lots of restaurants.

I%26#39;m away this weekend myself but got to check in here unexpectedly.

There%26#39;s not much more of Feb. left for you! Tell us what you have found from all you%26#39;ve read here and in previous discussions...when you%26#39;ve narrowed it down to a few if you don%26#39;t hit on one immediately. We%26#39;ll try to help further.

Thanks for everyones help. I leave next week for Virginia Beach. We%26#39;ve decided to go with the Sandcastle. A few of our friends suggested it. Although I am a little leary because the price is sooo cheap. Still, I think i%26#39;ll take the gamble. I%26#39;ve checked the reviews on this site about this particular hotel and, all in all, it sounds pretty good. I will let you know my thoughts on it when I return. To me I would have prefered the Hilton or Springhill Suites, but my boyfriend and I have agreed to do something a little cheaper this time around, as in the months to come we will be traveling alot.

Have a good time and let us know how the hotel is.

Star, one of my friends is a scrapbook consultant. She has hosted several ';girls weekend / scrapbook weekend'; events there and everyone has been very satisfied with the accommodations. Have a good trip - when you return, please post a review of the hotel and any restaurants you try.
