We went to the beach for a long weekend and found it relaxing. The location is great, and there is the bus The Wave, which you pay $1 per trip, or $2 for the day! It was a great way to get around without having to worry about parking.
The AC in our room was VERY noisy, but the view was fabulous. The beach is right there, along with an indoor, outdoor pools - great options! We could hear our neighbors playing their music pretty loudly, but all-in-all it was a great relaxing time.
We will plan to go there again probably same time next year!

My family and I stayed 5 nights at the Courtyard South and had a wonderful stay. It's an older property that has been recently renovated/updated and overall appears very well maintained. The location was ideal - oceanfront and centrally located to many attractions - and the lobby and room were very clean and modern.

We stayed in a corner King suite and found it spacious, bright and comfortable - perfectly adequate for our needs. Like others have mentioned, it is a Courtyard property - so don't expect luxury, but do expect a clean comfortable and reasonably updated room and friendly accommodating staff members.

We only noted a few issues with our stay that knocked a star off of my rating. First is the parking situation. We thought parking wouldn't be an issue, as it was after labor day, but due to some events/groups staying in the hotel - parking in front of the hotel was very sparse (we were only able to park there twice during our stay). Valet parking was not available, as it was the off-season, which was fine. We ended up having to self-park at the garage across the street, about a half-block away which wasn't much of a hassle at all.

However, we did encounter a homeless gentleman who appears to sleep in the garage multiple times on our stay. He often appeared under the influence and seemed to lurk around the vehicles and appear out of nowhere while we walked out of the garage at night, stumbling after us. The lack of security/cameras within the garage made us a bit leary to leave our car there overnight. When we this to the attention of the front desk, they were quick to send someone out to chase him out, but they did not seem surprised - which makes me believe this may be an ongoing problem.

Another issue was with housekeeping. Although the housekeeping staff did and excellent job at keeping our room clean and comfortable, it takes them all day to turn the rooms over. In a normal property, this would be okay - but as an oceanfront property, it became an issue. There were multiple times we came back from a day at the beach and had to re-use dirty towels off the floor so we could shower and head out to dinner since the housekeeping staff hadn't gotten to our room yet. Also, there were a few days that the housekeeping staff provided only two bath towels for three guests, which lead to having to share towels. Although this is minor, the nightly rate should allow for a few additional towels to be left in each room. There was also some inconsistencies in the toiletries replenished each day - one day we got two conditioners (no shampoo) and another we got two face soaps instead of a bath soap.

All-in-all, our stay at the Courtyard Oceanfront South was a pleasant/relaxing one. And although there were a few issues during our stay, the positives greatly outweighed the negatives and we would certainly consider staying there again the next time my family visits Virginia Beach.

Other than a sink that was slow to drain, the stay was very comfortable. Where else can you crack open the sliding door to the balcony and listen to the ocean waves lull you to sleep? Breakfast on the patio steps from the ocean made it even nicer.

we were only staying overnight in virginia beach and this hotel turned out to be ideally located. We were right on the beach and boardwalk and in the heart of the area's restaurants that made a stroll in the evening very pleasant. Luckily we didn't need to get our car since parking was limited and we had to valet it. The lobby is sparse and small, but does the trick. The room was basic, but modern, comfortable and clean. The view and outdoor terrace facing the ocean was terrific. Free coffee in the morning was available.
