Some reports of cleanliness issues
This 141-room Hampton Inn sits in a group of other hotels right on the Virginia Beach boardwalk. The budget-friendly property offers what appears to be the standard in this part of town, including rooms with balconies that face the ocean, a free buffet breakfast, and an indoor pool. The hotel is a bit worn with bland, chain-like decor and rooms can get noise from the beach, but the on-site 11th St Taphouse Bar & Grille serves good food and has an outdoor patio on the boardwalk. Travelers might also want to check out the nearby Comfort Inn & Suites Oceanfront, which has similar amenities including a sunny pool area, and often lower rates, though no restaurant.

Scene
Budget-friendly chain hotel with a subtle beach atmosphere, but showing signs of age
Guests at this Hampton Inn are greeted in a small lobby with a slight beach vibe courtesy of decor that includes sand-colored, sponge-painted walls, a light blue wall behind the front desk, and a model sailboat displayed on a wooden table. The hotel is an older property that’s worn in spots and shows its age, but overall, interiors are pleasant, if bland and chain-like. The breakfast room is bright and offers banquette seating, small tables, and a long communal wooden table. There's also an on-site restaurant with a nice covered patio that offers views of the water.
Location
Beachfront location right on the boardwalk, surrounded by shops and restaurants
The entrance to the hotel sits on Atlantic Avenue, surrounded by other oceanfront hotels and souvenir shops, with the busy boardwalk right behind it. The surrounding area offers plenty of dining options, bars, and shops. There are several attractions a short drive away, such as the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Arts (seven-minute drive) and the Virginia Aquarium (five-minute drive), while the Virginia Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau is a six-minute drive away. The Norfolk International Airport is a 25-minute drive away.
Rooms
Rooms face the ocean and have balconies; decor is bland and dated, with updated bathrooms.
The hotel’s 141 rooms and suites all face the ocean and have large balconies furnished with chairs. Decor is simple and pleasant, but bland, with teal carpeting, beige walls, and basic wood furniture.

All rooms have flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, microwaves, and work desks. Suites add living areas with plain upholstered couches and coffee tables. Travelers should note that some guests complain of noise from the beach, and there have been some reports of cleanliness issues.
