Embassy Suites by Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I truly enjoyed my stay. From the moment I arrived, my check-in process was seemless. The staff explained all of the amenities that were available, the complimentary breakfast and 2 drinks. Unfortunately, i was not able to utilize the pool services due to high winds but that was no fault of the establishment. However, the beach was right outside past the pool area and i was able to enjoy the walk. I was also able to enjoy Arbuckles wonderful lemon drops, oysters, Wedged salad, & hot wings to go lol. Waking up each morning to the sound of the beach was the most relaxation I’ve had in a while. Overall I give this experience a 10/10 and will book again."
