After reading these reviews I was concerned. However when I parked, stepped through the door and went to my room I was not dissappointed. I stayed in room 1002 (on the 10th floor), had a great ocean view room (only complaint was that they don't have balconies only windows that don't open). It was nice waking up and seeing the... more

We stayed here over the end of year holidays in 2008 over the End of Year. Overall the hotel accomodations are passable. You know right away that you are not at the Mariott! Elevators that refused to close (push to close), cheap carpeting, furniture that was old and on the verge of breaking. Broken Headboards on the Bed. Felt like... more

My husband and I stayed at the Ocean Sands as part of our time-share company RCI. It was a pleasant stay, no major dislikes other than the rude guests; loud TV after 11pm. The suite was the perfect size for us, nice kitchen with ample necessities. We did miss not having a balcony, but the weather was generally chilly so... more

I was a little worried about our stay after reading the reviews, but, we had a positive experience. The front desk people were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had everything we needed. They have a parking garage which was very convenient. The hotel is close to everything. We had a great view of the beach. We... more

Stayed October 6-8. This hotel was OK, nothing fancy. First thing was that there was pee on the toilet seat which i had to clean off(after being in the car all day i had to go)!!! The carpet was sticky, i did go at the end of the season so it was probably for that reason it was dirty. The... more

This is the first time we've stayed anywhere but the Sheraton in Va Beach and were a bit hesitant. The Ocean Sands exceeded my expectations. All the staff were beyond friendly and accomodating. Check in went smoothly. The room was clean and a/c working just fine. They do have hairdryers, you just have to ask at the front desk. The... more

do not even look at this hotel. I walked 10 blocks in either direction of this facility and the Ocean Sands was the ONLY hotel/motel structure with no balcony. Yes, there was a small slider window, however the large air conditioning unit was smack in the middle of the window wall and the noise from the unit completely drowned out... more

We just stayed at the ocean sands and had a great time. The room, though in need of updating ,was clean, the staff helpful and friendly. the kids enjoyed the crafts each day, sign up early not that many spots as we found out one day. The location is superb. The beach is fabulous. Very close to all the entertainment... more

Stayed at Ocean Sands in June as part of a brief swing up the coast. First, I'll say I was worried about staying here given other reviews. It sounded a little grim, but actually was quite nice and I would come back. That said, I'll also say that it is a low cost place, so if you are expecting the... more
