Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront

The location

Breakfast was not included and the rooms were not maintained everyday of our stay.

The room was a king oceanfront suite with a great view of the ocean, overlooking the boardwalk below. There were two small chairs and table on the balcony, perfect for morning coffee and people watching. Even in late October there was much to see from our space, to include a 10K race, a dog Halloween costume contest and several flag football games going on at the beach itself. The room we booked came with breakfast which was buffet style. There was an option for ordering your eggs any style and French toast made-to-order for no additional cost. Nice ! (The card at the table read $14.99 if you were to pay without their inclusive deal.) I'm a finicky person when it comes to hotels. I am the person who never takes their socks off in a hotel room because I hate touching the carpet and I check the sheets the second I enter a new room because I worry about bed bugs. In general, I am not comfortable unless my surroundings are super clean and this hotel was just that. While the bed could have been softer, the overall condition of the suite was good and the bathroom was spotless, offering my favorite Neutrogena brand products. We ate at the onsite restaurant, Lagerheads, twice. Both times I had a salad with grilled salmon, and my partner tried two different signature burgers. Both were very good each night we were there. The salmon was by far the freshest fish I've had in a long while and the salad portions were very generous -perhaps order a side salad unless you like a family size all for yourself ! Lastly, I read some bad things about the front desk in recent reviews. I have nothing but nice things to say about all the front desk staff we encountered. They were all helpful and courteous and welcomed us with a smile. I really was not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised by the overall package. I will definitely return to this hotel !
