Virginia Beach: trova gli hotel più romantici, popolari e convenienti

Disappointing isn't quite strong enough of a word. We were excited to try this property as we haven't found a Marriott in Virginia Beach that we liked. The location and rooms looked great on the app and it seemed there were several good dining choices. As a bonus the Tides restaurant advertised a 'pop-up bar' with a Beetlejuice theme that looked really fun. We were really looking forward to it! No one knew anything about a Beetlejuice pop-up bar. It ended up being two seasonal drinks on the menu that had pumpkin puree in them. We had one of those and smoked drink. That was the highlight of our stay. The drinks were tastey and our waitress was the single employee we met that was both friendly and took any interest whatever in serving us. The room was nice and very spacious. It was not what I would call immaculate but it was clean. The view was quite nice, even a partial view. We were not given an upgrade as the rooms were not ready - we did get there before three. There was a fridge, micro, and safe along with a coffeemaker. We had two regular coffees up there which got us going to our next adventure, after hearing our neighbors partying into the night. Sigh. The property does have its own 'private beach' but it's part of the greater beach along the Chesapeake Bay so it is not private. That having been said, it's a pretty beach. There are no lifeguards but it appears to be very shallow quite a ways out. If you love dogs running free, you will love this beach. There were a LOT of dogs out and there is no leash requirement. Big dogs, small dogs, crazy hyper pups, horse-dogs, you had it all. I know a lot of you folks love this, but I don't relish digging my toes into the sand where your dog just peed! Also, some of the owners had no control whatever over their animals. It was not a relaxing walk for us. We got going a bit late (for us) and headed down to 'the Pantry'. This is a lower end, 'M club'. We are supposed to get breakfast as Platinum elite members, but if there is a club, that counts as breakfast. There should be bread and/or bagels, fruit, yogurt, and various snacks. We were told to expect continental breakfast at 7:00. Upon arrival around 8:00, we saw exactly what we had seen the night before, and no breakfast foods out but dry cereal and some yogurt. And to top it off, coffee maker was out of order! My husband managed to find a worker with a cart full of bagels and such, but she promptly disappeared, after telling him the bagels were coming to us. After another wait and trying to empty the grinds and thus fix the coffeemaker ourselves, he approached said worker again and asked to have the coffeemaker set up. She passed the buck to last night's workers and told us it would 35-40 minutes to get the coffee working again. What?! At that point we gave up.
