Free coffee/tea in the lobby would have been nice. Elevator issue - only 1 of 3 working. Used the stairs for our 5th floor rooom.

The Atrium Resort, Virginia Beach by Vacatia
Nice spacious king suite that includes a mini kitchen living room/dining room. Relatively clean. Furniture is slightly dated, but clean and in good condition. Our shower faucet leaked significantly during a shower. But overall a nice comfortable place to stay for the price.
