The Schooner Inn in Virginia Beach is a well-rated, beachfront hotel located at 215 Atlantic Avenue. It offers a range of amenities and is conveniently situated near various attractions. It is an older hotel but well-maintained and we found it very accommodating.
While my husband and I have stayed at a lot of hotels in Virginia Beach this one has become one of our new favorites now that our old favorite has been torn down and rebuilt into another hotel.
Let us dive into what makes this hotel in Virginia Beach a great place to stay if you are on a tighter budget and don’t have to have everything brand-new.
Our Stay:
We stayed in a standard room, with 2 double beds, and a kitchenette. It had a wonderful ocean view! Great way to wake up and watch the sunrise first thing in the morning to get the day started.
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the kitchenette. I thought it would maybe just be a coffee maker and a microwave but it had so much more. It also had a small cooktop and toaster. It also had dishes, utensils, and pots and pans. Makes for a great way to make meals in the hotel and save on eating out.
Our room also had a nice relaxing chair and ottoman, and a table and chairs. There are lots of options to rest and relax. It also had a pretty spacious balcony that had two chairs and a small table.
While this is an older hotel, it is well-maintained and kept very clean. It has two elevators so you do not have to wait a long time to get up to your room unlike some of the others we have stayed at.
We did not have to use it but I love the fact that it has a washer and dryer available. That would be handy if you did not pack much or if you have little ones that have a lot of spills and need to wash their clothing often.
Each floor walkway is open to the outdoors. So if you want a good rush of air in your room simply prop open the door and open the balcony door. The air rushes through like an air flush, we loved it!
