Don't stay here!!

Was super dirty!! Someone literally had a grocery list on the wall. Toilet paper holder kept falling apart, shower handle kept falling off, blinds were broken, one remote for 2 tvs, would only give 2 towels for a room that sleeps 6, pool was green, trash was laying all around the property, and it was a little sketchy outside. They don't change the sheets after each stay. The cleaning cart they use is basically empty. Spend a little extra and don't stay here!!

First off I requested an Mobility accessible Room at least. In my family there we 2 persons who needed accommodations. We were told they were short staffed. Next thd lights in the elevator were broken the entire time, so you were on the elevator in the dark with strangers. The tubs did not have a stopper to take a bath and no grab bars. The mattresses were very uncomfortable. The linen that were there were not very clean. Had to ask for an iron. Ironing board , clean linen. The balcony door was very hard to open. The bedroom didn't have a dresser or anywhere for your luggage. No chairs besides the office chair The view is beautiful but with a family members ond pregnant and the other had knee issues, the family vacation was a safety hazard at this "resort". Oh and the parking is like tetrus.

Do not ruin your vacation on this place

Food options are endless on the strip, but my back did not agree with the bed.
My shirt I had to hang from the blinds to cover the hole in them.

The room smelled like pee, the sofa bed was broken, water was constantly leaking on our balcony from the balcony on top of us and the elevator worked for maybe 12 hours out of 6 days. My friend stepped in a manhole because it was not closed well.

Avoid This Place at All Costs I stayed at Sun and Sand Resort (Virginia Beach) from July 27 to August 3, and it was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. We checked into an ocean-view room on the 6th floor, and it was disgusting. The room smelled like weed and smoke, dirty floors, stained linens, and there were cigarette butts in the nightstand. Management didn’t address our concerns for 3 days, and only moved us to another room on day 4—which was barely any better. The second room had leaky faucets, a balcony door that was impossible to open, and no towels. The elevator didn’t work for days, and the TV remotes didn’t function. The pull-out sofa was filthy, and we had to cover it with a blanket just to sit on it. The Wi-Fi never worked, and keycards had to be reprogrammed three times. The place is completely neglected—one cleaning lady for 11 floors, trash everywhere, and the room was unsanitary. I had to leave a day early because it ruined our vacation. This place is a health hazard, and I’d never stay here again. The pictures on Expedia are misleading, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Avoid this place!

This was by far the worst place I have ever stayed in. The parking is so limited and no where enough for all of the guests. There is numerous damages all over the property, some severely dangerous. The elevator was broken when we arrived, then started working out of no where only for all of the lights to shut off and your forced to ride in the elevator pitch black. The stair access to your floor/room, the doors stick so bad you have to slam your shoulder to get them to open. Our balcony door wouldn’t lock and we have three children. Tub and sink faucets drip. One light out in living room and outlets did not work in bedroom. At one point we lost power and when it came back on the bedroom tv came on randomly. The overall property is very dirty and smells awful. Non of the vending machine have anything in them. The pool was very dirty and definitely not up kept. The only positive I can say is the staff is very friendly. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this place.

Don’t be deceived by the photos. The place was much more rundown and dirty. I had to mop the floor myself with a towel because of how dirty my son was from crawling. No AC unit in the bedroom, only in the living room. Elevator was broken. Stairwells smelled of urine. Homeless camped right outside of the hotel. Only good thing about it was the location.

This property and you guys were a joke. After refusing to give me my money back do to no fault of mine i find it disgraceful that you would say in order for me to get a refund that I had to pay you an additional 240... To get back 500... I explained and the employee of the hotel told Expedia to give me my money back and you Expedia refused... This forced me to take the room or sleep in the car... for the home was four hours away.The conditions were so bad I would not have my dog stay. We were unable to even enjoy ourselves because the elevator didn't work after putting us on the 9th floor...so ever time we went out we would have to clime 18 flights of stairs... The room has water flowing in paint going down the wall, the halls were smelly, there were dirty towels left in the tub, room wasn't clean, no ironing board, no curtains on bedroom window, no towels, no soap, dirty furniture. It was so bad we had to go buy sheets to cover the furniture....and sheets to put on the bed...
