A brick "Colonial-style hotel" that seems like it "should be in historic Williamsburg" rather than Virginia Beach, this "very homey", "family-oriented" spot has a certain historic charm; "lush grounds and fountains", a "tranquil" spa, an "attentive" staff and rooms with gas-burning fireplaces win praise, but a few reject it as "too old-fashioned" and aren't crazy about the "food selection"; N.B. it's 15 minutes from the beach.

Nothing.
Location, and very old, poorly decorated room.

This hotel is on the campus of Regent University, and does not have much of a hotel or spa feel to it. I believe this was supposed to be a 3 or 3 1/2 star hotel, and I consider this a 1 or 2 star hotel. Because this in on the campus of the university, it does not have a hotel feel at all. ...read more

Staff seemed nice. Although I did not see this, the workout facility is supposed to be nice.
Right away charged an additional $11 for resort fee. A lot of traffic in the area. Room not real clean.

This in not a 4 star hotel. The bath tub was filthy. The add on charge was a surprise. It was noisy in the hallways at night.

It is a stately grand older hotel.
It is worn and torn a little. It needs some TLC.

They charged a mandatory resort fee!

It is on the campus of Regent University, the home of the Christian Broadcasting Network. There is a mandatory resort fee of $11.25 - this must be paid even if you don't plan to use the so-called resort facilities - which are the sort of thing one would expect for free pool & fitness center. ...read more

The service was great. The front desk staff were very courteous and friendly.
The room was not throughly cleaned and the internet never worked.

The hotel is very cozy and a great getaway for couples. The grounds were beautiful and as it is not super family friendly the pool area was quiet and a nice relaxing area.

Staff was responsive.
Hotel is NOT 4 star.

The hotel decor is dated, toilet ran all night, tub needed resurfacing, surge protectors everywhere, had to call maintenance for fireplace. The only modern update was the flat screen over fire place.
