No matter where you stay, no matter how many STARS they have...always, ALWAYS - check for bed bugs before you enter the room with your luggage.  Pull back all the corners on the bed and check to see if you see anything under the mattress pads and sheets!!

You don't want to take home any extra pets with you!!!

ed'smom:  I'm a Marriott rewards member too.  I have learned to be 'picky' about motels, since I have traveled a fair amount.  I like good clean mattresses, a quiet room, safety and a nice breakfast.  Usually the Marriott is my first choice.  I also don't mind a 15-30 min drive to have those things.  I usually look up and read reviews on tripadviser.  Most often the difference between a really nice motel and a so-so motel is a short drive and 20 bucks.

To those serving in the USS Vincent glad your on your way home. To those heading out on the USS Theodore safe travels.

Hi Everyone,
I haven't been on here for a while but I had to weigh in on this. I just took my sons younger siblings down to visit him in VA for Easter weekend.
We stayed at the Marriott Courtyard VA beach. It was beautiful. All the room face the ocean and I am a rewards member so points add up for free rooms or upgrades.
It was before the season so not crowded but I hear it gets really crazy in summer and rates go up.
We did an Easter cruise lunch on the Spirit of Norfolk and it went past all the Navy vessels and they gave commentary about them. Very cool for the kids!

I live here in hampton roads . I was in norfolk and now I'm in va beach. My sons grandmother just came and got a great deal in a hotel 35 a night . It was easy access to Internet and middle between the beach and base . Here is a link to a list of hotels in va beach hotels.va beCh 23452 . I beleive she stayed at econo lodge . I lived near the base in norfolk and the motels close to base are nice . I stayed at the navy lodge before they are pretty nice as well . Here is a link to norfolk hotels.by the base.norflk va the 2 that are first and say hampton blvd are closest to the base . If anyone has questions about hotels or things to do while your here I can help. The beach is nice and we love mount trashmore which is a park they made out of a dump but it's very nice .

I have a different perspective on this.  Driving a few miles from base only takes maybe 15 minutes.  I like to stay somewhere near things to do like nice dining, beach etc.  My perspective is somewhat jaded as I'm a veteran (navy), My husband was Army, and we've been on many military installations.  When we were off duty spending time in a motel close to base was not a priority.

When we were there for homecoming, we stayed at the Hampton Inn right outside the gate we used to get on base. It was a very nice stay and I highly recommend it.

There are no problems on this site with mentioning hotels that you would recommend to stay at. Feel free to share your favorite places.
