Hilton Vacation Club Ocean Beach Club Virginia Beach
Staff was great! The rooms and hotel were clean with a great view. The rooms do share a common door which was odd. You need to unlock one door that opens to a closet like entrance that has two doors, each leading to a different room. I would definitely stay here again.
