La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Virginia Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The staff here went above and beyond to help me and my kids after the nightmare we went through with a neiboring property. The woman who checked me in (dark skinned with glasses) I'm sorry I forgot her name - was an ANGEL! She took care of us quickly and was so warm and welcoming to us - so we could unwind after our 6.5 hour drive. The woman who works overnights helped my kids dad when he got in, and shared some laughs with him too. I would 100% stay here again. Pool was clean. Snacks were great. Coffee available all day (LOVE) and walking distance to beach and supermarket. Comfortable rooms, updated and quiet at night! LOVE!"
