"This year was our 7th time in hotel… so obviously its a great place for us but this time when we went book the expensive suites in the lower level… very disappointed with appliances it worked but for the extra $600 you expect different than efficiency rooms. Sofabed? Its a hard wire and a cloth had put pillows to my ribs. Please updates those. we still hope to see you again."

Days Inn by Wyndham Virginia Beach Town Center

Days Inn by Wyndham Virginia Beach Town Center

8/10 Good
"The room I stayed in was clean and I did not see any bugs. The room had a small coffee pot, ironing board/iron. The hairdryer was broken, but was no big deal since I had my own with me. I requested a non smoking room and my room did not smell like smoke. The facility should maintain the air conditioners as the filters were quite dirty. Most staff seemed friendly. Only 1 instance where I reported the milk was sour at breakfast, and the attendant just shrugged his shoulders and never replaced it. Breakfast was coffee/tea, 2 choices of dry cereal, oatmeal, bananas/apples, yogurt & toast. The pool area was very nice. I read many negative comments about this location and just wanted people to know it wasn’t as bad as I read. Seems to be an older facility, but was clean and comfortable."
