We enjoyed being right on the beach. Walls were thin and the lady next door was loud and cussing. We did smell pot a few times during our 2 day stay. I dont appreciate that. Could not tell where it was coming from though.

Wish I had more positive things to say

The staff was very friendly and access to the beach was really convenient. Those were the only positives about our stay. The room we stayed in was not in the best condition. The paint job was horrible, the room wasn’t cleaned well found marks on the wall in the bathroom, there was also dust build up in the bathroom vent. I was nervous some of it would fall on me while I was using the bathroom. There were also some black marks on the bedding.
Bathroom Vent. There was so much dust hanging from it. I had to clean it up so it didn’t fall on me.
Bathroom - 1 example of the bad paint job.

We had an enjoyable 3 night stay at the Schooner Hotel in Virginia Beach for my dads naval reunion. It was the beginning of the off season and the price was extremely affordable compared to other hotels in the area. Our rooms were clean and very spacious with two full beds, a two seat table, and a six drawer dresser. There was plenty of room for luggage, coolers, or even a roll away bed or cot for a child. It was actually one of the largest hotel rooms we have stayed in recently. The beach is right there and you can walk straight out to the ocean. It is about an hour or a little more to places like Williamsburg and Yorktown, so it is a good spot if you want beach access with the option to drive to historic attractions. Parking was a little tight at times, but this was mostly due to other guests parking crooked. The staff were very friendly and made our stay pleasant. Is it outdated? Yes, very. There are simple improvements that could be made such as replacing ripped or dingy shower curtains, updating lighting fixtures, and replacing mattresses that dip toward the middle. The bathroom lights would not always fully turn on so the room stayed dim. The TV is small and only one of the two beds really had a clear view of it. Is it noisy? Not any more than any other hotel. Most of the noise came from fellow patrons being inconsiderate. For the love of God, guide your door closed and do not let it swing shut so hard that it wakes everyone around you. Lots of road noise from motorcycl
