We come down every year. Overall we are happy with the property. The beach is always crowded. This year halfway through our stay they started to build a huge platform on the beach right in front of Schooner Inn. Started work at 7am starting Tuesday until we left on Friday. Weed smokers are common despite the no smoking signs in the rooms. But we like the Schooner INn

VA Beach revisited

This was our first time in many years staying at VA Beach and first time at Schooner. It’s the furthest south on the beach. The balcony view was great but no beach chairs or umbrellas to use or rent. Also wrong pw listed for wifi and wrong number to call front desk listed in welcome material. Beach super clean and not crowded. Not much around at this end of boardwalk. Still enjoyed our stay.

First time here, not the last!

Our stay at The Schooner Inn was very enjoyable. Quiet at appropriate times. No riff raff. Right on the beach and the balcony was perfect! Would stay here again.

Last minute gem

I had to book a last minute trip to Virginia Beach (I know, middle of the summer, crazy!). I was looking for a place close to my son that was both affordable but meets my level of expectation for a comfortable amd enjoyable stay. After looking throigh several reviews, I decided on Schooner in, crossed my fingers, and said a little prayer. Coming from the north, ita the last property on the beach front strip, perfect for.me because it was closest to my sons. The beach was steps away, there was a great park for kids, you can watch fishermen throwing their nets, and restaurants/attractions are still within walking distance (tested this and walked to the other end of the boardwalk in about 30-ish minutes). The Inn has good parking (free with your stay) and a pool out front. Check-in was quick, I was in my room within 10 minutes. The room was very clean, linens fresh and new, beds were comfy, and pillows were plentiful and fluffy. The balcony was a nice touch, my view was to the bay but it was still a lovely view. Water pressure was good, hot water was hot, and they provide quality basic toiletries. Towels were plentiful, clean, and a good size (not flimsy). The room also had a microwave, mini fridge, iron, and ironing board for your convenience. All in all, I'd absolutely stay again.

Other than the face that the building is old and the outsourcing shows it, the inside of the rooms exceptionally clean and comfy. The boardwalk and beach are very easily accessible, the parking was easy even for a truck, and the staff was very helpful and inviting. This hotel is at the very north end of the boardwalk, therefore, was quiet and less crowded with a very open feel.

My family has come to the Schooner since the 1990's never again. The staff is poorly trained entitled children that laugh at you when you voice a concern. I checked out the morning of 29 August so do your math on the entitled clown that laughed in my face when I voiced my displeasure of being checked in an hour late the evening before. Black kid with dreads in case you can't solve the mystery....Not to mention a car full of ants from the rains the evening before. I suggest you get your team trained and validated before you let scum represent the business
