Ideal location right on the beach.
Right on the beach, easy parking, a little tired and dated. Breakfast very limited. Given advice on local eating establishments however we didn’t use any of them as were out and about and decided to eat elsewhere.

Oldie trying hard to be a goodie
It is an older property but you can tell they are working hard to give it a new facelift. Unique layout with the bathroom in a separate bedroom. Best breakfast on our trip. Staff is very attentive and makes sure tables are clean.

2/10 Poor

Not even with the bargain prices.
I requested a handicapped room. They had booked a regular room with a tub and no safety handrails. After a conversation they finally gave me the handicapped room. I guess they only had 2 rooms. My room smelled of dog. After complaining they supposedly tried to get rid of the dog odor. It lasted 1 night. If I didn’t need the handicapped room I would have asked for another. I bought a can of Lysol spray and sprayed every time I was in the room. Should at least keep one room that is not pet friendly. Also, we were there for a week and they changed towels twice and made the bed only once. Very poor housekeeping service. The hotel is very old and the appearance shows it. It even smells old. I will not be staying here again and won’t recommend it to my friends.

I great find on the beach in Norfolk👍😃
The Best Western Plus Holiday Sands was amazing. We were extremely lucky in that we were given a 2 bedroom unit right on the ocean. I was traveling with my teenage grandson (who wanted to visit the Wisconsin); our 2 rescue dogs & my 75 yo husband (whose health isn’t great). The room we stayed in had 2 new queen beds plus a small kitchen ( appliances only -luckily we were traveling in our RV so I had the plates & silverware). The room had been totally renovated-beautifully done. They gave you body wash, shampoo & rinse in the shower-not just the little samples! There was even an enclosed dog walk on the ocean that had sprinklers -watering every morning the grass there!! I was unable to get to the free breakfast as I had my hands full taking care of my ‘clan’, but I am sure it was wonderful. They didn’t change the towels everyday- which didn’t need to be done as we stayed there only 2 days. The weather while we were there was extremely windy from the latest storm up from the Gulf, otherwise I would have walked more on the beach. There were recycled doggie bags and a place to put them in the dog walk-which was great. Unfortunately the pool was closed, but it looked great, plus there were plenty of lounge chairs available had the wind not been so intense. The TV had many channels available plus there was good internet. The check in was easy as was the ck out. There was a laundry room with 2 washers & 2 dryers- pay with cc. Plenty of stores & restaurants close by.

If you are looking for an affordable hotel for your family while enjoying the beach & area attactions, this is a good pick. If you're a young adult looking for VA Beach nightlife or someone who expects a lot of amenities, this isn't your place. Hotel has good beach access, right on the water, and about a 20 to 25 minute drive to area attractions (Marine Science Museum, Nauticus, VA Beach Boardwalk, etc). Breakfast was reasonable hotel fare with several options: non-fat yogurt, toast, waffles, eggs, bacon, cereal, etc. At/after 9am, so you might have to take your food to go because there isn't a ton of seating, but that wasn't really an issue, just had kiddos eat in the room on the mornings we were late. The air condtioner for our room needed some work, but as we were really only it the room in the evenings before bed, it wasn't too much of an issue. We have young-elementary aged kids - a lot of folks there were also in that category- and the location and hotel itself felt safe enough, clean enough, and was right on the beach.
