Best Western Plus Holiday Sands Inn & Suites

This was a difficult trip for me. On top of all I was personally experiencing I did not want a pet friendly room. Tammy was amazing and quickly and kindly found me the the best room for my time there. less

I stayed here at Best Western Plus Holiday Sands Inn and Suites on the Chesapeake Bay side of Norfolk. It is my 2nd time here, first being a few years ago. I enjoyed my stay again. Nice room, with beautiful view. Staff was courteous and efficient. The morning breakfast was adequate and delicious. Place was quiet and comfortable. less

I came to Norfolk VA, because my son is in NROTC and they visited the base here. I came but wanted a separate vacation since there are a number of interesting sites in the area. I wanted to stay on the beach and looked around. I also didn't want to pay a fortune. I chose this hotel because the reviews weren't bad and the pictures seemed nice. The room I had was on the third floor overlooking the beach. It has a little balcony. I came in March during the off season, so the weather was cool. Since the room faced north, I didn't get any sun on the balcony. I would have preferred that in March, but during the season, it would be an advantage in keeping the room cool. I rated this average because the room was OK, but small. The door to the balcony and the main door leaked air, and since it was windy, this was a problem. The main door had to be slammed to lock correctly. There was a smell of paint, but again, they were probably getting ready for the season. The beds weren't very comfortable so I didn't sleep well. The staff was professional, courteous and very helpful and get a 5 star from me. This is a good place if you are looking for something moderately expensive on the beach. less

We stay here every year, sometimes twice a year. Close to Naval Bases, Norfolk Virginia, Close To Virginia Beach Virginia. Very Nice Rooms, Morning Breakfasts are delightful. Service is Quite Good. The Only Bad Mark, the Internet reception in rooms is Sporadic at Best. less

Came in after dark so it wasn't until the next morning that we could see the view which included a pod of dolphins swimming by. Staff recommended a wonderful Italian restaurant after we arrived. The breakfast in the morning was as good a free breakfast as you can get. It does look like they are working to improve and update the rooms. less
