I rarely ever write reviews but when asked I feel I should say the reviews on this place are not accurate at all. I was skeptical but ended up booking because the reviews I read we’re pretty good. The hotel is very old and hasn’t been updated in years! I took pictures to show some of the age of the room. Furniture looks to be 30 years old and so does the carpets and trimmings. It looks like it’s still in the 70s! Our room was not clean and my first thought was that it probably had bugs. The whole hotel reeked of smoke and marijuana even though it’s supposed to be non smoking. Even the sheets on the bed were so worn they had knots on them from so much use. There also appeared to be blood splatters on the wall in the living room area. We were there with our children and the area around the hotel was also rundown and seemed unsafe. Lots of drinking, partying, etc in the evening hours. So it’s definitely not a good place if you have kids! The price is also high for the quality of what your getting. We checked in and ended up leaving a few hours later. We were completely uncomfortable. They did refund me one of my nights which I appreciated which is my only good thought. If your looking for a clean, nice, updated hotel that’s beachfront this one unfortunately is not it. If they were to remodel down the road I’m sure it would help tremendously but until then it’s not a good choice.…

Guest satisfaction is important to us, so we are very disappointed to read your comments and see that you were not satisfied with your accommodations nor the actions of other patrons nearby. While our family run hotel is structurally a bit older, we continually make improvements throughout the year to ensure quality accommodations and amenities are provided along with friendly hospitality. Your feedback is being researched by our maintenance and cleaning staff and will be addressed immediately. We are a non-smoking hotel and do apologize if other guests did not adhere to the policies we have in place. Our staff tries hard to deliver exceptional service and offer our visitors various amenities and comforts, so they feel at home, yet we are sorry for any inconvenience you experienced during your stay. Despite this, we hope the rest of your time here in Virginia Beach was enjoyed.

Hotel was great for a 3 night weekend trip. Wasn't fancy, and could definitely use some updates but all the rooms are oceanfront, and it was very clean which is all I was really looking for! Beds, and pillows were comfortable, and Jacuzzi bath tub was worth the upgrade! Will defiantly stay again. Location was amazing right next to the Pier... only issue we had was parking was very tight the first night we got there. After that although the parking is a small area we didn't have much trouble getting into a spot.

Katie, we loved having you as our guest and thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us. The stunning ocean views from our private balconies are unforgettable, and hopefully you had the chance to see a beautiful sunrise as well. Our location at the Boardwalk makes us a great place to relax and unwind any time of year. We are delighted to read that you stayed in one of our popular jacuzzi rooms and found it a value in your beach get-away. Parking at the oceanfront is very limited and we try to maximize the space that we have, in order to give our guests as many parking options as possible. We are glad it didn’t hinder you having a fantastic time and are looking forward to your next visit!

This is the second time we’ve stayed here. It’s not too bad, could be better and could be worse. I’ll go through the cons first and then end with the pros. The bedding and linens are dingy and don’t feel very clean or soft. The shower head, blow dryer and bathroom light fixtures are really old. Tub didn’t drain the best. No conditioner. Elevator was slow. Now for the good parts: The price is reasonable. The jacuzzi bath tub is amazing!!! The bed is comfortable. Air conditioner works very well. Pillows are so so. Awesome private deck if you get the right room. The room was extremely clean! Great job to the house keeping staff. All in all the room wasn’t really my cup of tea but the jacuzzi and cleanliness of the room were very enjoyable and it’s hard to find rooms with a private jacuzzi.…

Thank you for your feedback on your stay with us recently as we loved having you with us. We are so glad to see that you loved your jacuzzi room, appreciated our clean accommodations and value pricing, and loved our ocean views. Our central spot on the beach puts guests in the center of the Boardwalk area where they can take advantage of many nearby attractions and fun things to do. Thank you again for your comments, and we hope to see you the next time you visit the area!

Barry, thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your stay. Providing a clean, relaxing, and welcoming environment for our guests is a top priority at The Breakers Resort Inn, so your feedback is very disappointing. Please accept our apology that your stay was not at the service levels we normally provide our guests. The hot water situation was a surprise to us as well and we are sorry that it coincided with your visit. Your review comments will be shared with our team so that they understand how your beach vacation was impacted. While your visit was less than perfect, we do hope you were still able to find value in the nearby attractions Virginia Beach has to offer, and perhaps were able to visit the nearby Virginia Beach Fishing Pier that is walking distance from our hotel. We are sorry again that you had a disappointing time but do hope you will reconsider and stay again so that we can make it up to you!

When looking for a room, an oceanfront room, the reviews for this hotel had raves about the included breakfast at the oceanfront cafe. It sounded great.....until we got checked in. The desk clerk said the cafe is closed tomorrow. I said no breakfast? He said no breakfast. No apology, no explanation, no vouchers for breakfast somewhere else. No breakfast. I am 65 and recently had a hip replacement surgery. My sister is 62 and walks with a pronounced limp from a stroke. When were leaving with our luggage, we approached the elevator to find a note saying the elevator is broken, repairman has been called. No offer of assistance on the note. No call to the room offering help. So we struggled down 4 flights of stairs, emerge in the basement and then have to carry our luggage up the ramp to get to the car. Very disappointing stay. We will not be back.…

Your comments are deeply upsetting, and we are very sorry for the inconveniences you and your sister experienced while staying at our oceanfront hotel recently. Both situations (the elevator outage and restaurant closure) are extremely rare occurrences, and we are truly disappointed that it overlapped with your visit. The last thing we would want is for our guests to be inconvenienced and that is apparently what happened while you were here. Given enough notice, our staff is available to assist guests with luggage or any other need that may arise at the time. We are sorry that these two situations impacted your overall experience as we want all our guests to have a relaxing, restorative time when with us at the beach. Hopefully you were still able to enjoy our lovely ocean views from your rooms balcony and explore the oceanfront area.

Beautiful view, great bike path and free bikes Room was missing a few light bulbs and hair conditioner is not provided but hand lotion is in a bottle that matches shampoo so I put a ton of lotion in my hair and had to use all the shampoo to get it out (easy fix guys, provide conditioner and change lotion to another bottlle) No a/c in hallway, slow elevator, could hear babies screaming from their room.

Thank you for choosing The Breakers Resort Inn for your beach getaway, Jaimelynn. We are happy to hear that you loved our complimentary bikes and had time to explore the nearby area along the bike paths. Your photos are lovely, and we are sure you had a nice time enjoying the sights. There is plenty to do and see along the way in addition to getting a good workout and admiring the ocean views. Our restaurant, The Boardwalk Café, proudly serves delicious food options for breakfast and lunch (along with a great view of the boardwalk and beach) and we hope you had a chance to stop in for a bite to eat as well. We appreciate your feedback regarding the conditioner bottles and warmer than normal hallways, as guest input is important to us. We would love for you to stay with us again the next time you are back in the area.

I have to admit when I first walked in, the lobby was the smallest I have ever seen, and it seemed a bit out dated, but as soon as I talked with the people at the desk, I knew I picked the right place. Super friendly staff. I even chatted with the owners who were really nice. I peeked in at the outside pool and noticed it was pretty small, but for me and my daughter it wasn't a problem because we just never swim in public pools. There is only one elevator but it worked just fine. I liked the windows in the hallways that over looked the strip. Kind of neat. It seemed that there was no air conditioning in the hallways because they were warm, but who stays in the hallways long anyways. So when we opened our room door, we were SO impressed with it! The room was clean and neat and all ready for us! There was even a printed out welcome letter personally addressed to me and signed by the owner! The bathroom was very clean. I really liked the little kitchenette area. The beds and 4 pillows PER BED! were super comfy!! and the best thing was THE VIEW from the huge window and balcony. We will definitely recommend this hotel and stay here again sometimes!! Oh and they have free bike rentals too!…

Marygall, nothing pleases us more than hearing you had a perfect weeklong vacation here at the oceanfront with us!

Recently stayed for 3 nights on the 5th floor. Room was nice, nothing fancy but was a great deal for having an oceanfront balcony room. Views were beautiful. Check in was fine but for some reason, our room cards deactivated every day. Not a problem, was fixed each time in a few minutes. It was also a plus to have on-site parking, always felt safe. Everyone seems to be abiding by the covid rules so that was good to see. We didn't eat at the café so I can't comment on that but I am including a picture of the menu. We will definitely stay here again.

Fantastic! Thank you for a great review, we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! As you mentioned, the views from our oceanfront balconies are beautiful and make the perfect addition to a couple's getaway. Our central location puts guests in a perfect position to get out and explore the boardwalk without having to drive everywhere. We hope you had a chance to use our complimentary bikes to go exploring down the boardwalk or check out the Virginia Beach fishing pier located just 1 block from our hotel. We are sorry to hear you had some trouble with your room cards, unfortunately they can be pesky and deactivate if stored too close to a cell phone. We hope to see you again very soon!
