The Atrium Resort

"Overall experience was pleasant. It was a clean, basic hotel for a great price. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Did not have any issues while on my stay."

"I wish I’d taken photos of the actual room we stayed in because the online photos of the rooms and resort itself are very deceiving. The interior of the room we stayed in still had gross carpet, the furniture was extremely old, dated and worn. There were stains on the top blanket of the bed as well as stains on several towels and pillows. It really isn’t located on the greatest end of VA beach but take that for what it’s worth. There is a nightclub very close by and the increased police presence had me on edge wondering what sort of activity to expect. Va beach certainly isn’t a family vacation destination spot. Loud noises from the nightlife were disruptive until past midnight and could be heard clearly from our 6th floor room. The view was nothing spectacular. Directly out of our bedroom window there was nothing but construction and the street. The hand soap dispenser in the bathroom was empty and someone’s whisker clippings were on the sink upon our arrival, thankfully I came prepared to clean for our stay. The little interaction we did have with staff was pleasant. I was surprised to find the front desk is just a table in the lobby with a small closet/office space. The pool and hot tub were both closed for an unknown reason. Overall, it was a cheap place to stay overnight while we were in town for an event. I wouldn’t recommend this facility to anyone, nor would I ever desire to book another stay here."

"The rooms are very outdated, maybe from 20 years ago. They’re somewhat clean for what they are. The room we got smelled pretty awful. Very musty. Bathroom was clean but some of the siding of the bathroom was coming off and definitely looked as if mold had moved in given it’s exposure to water. It’s right near the beach and the small shops. Restaurants all over the place. The hotel seems plenty safe. Some of the surrounding area I’d be somewhat concerned bringing children. That’s not something specific to the hotel either, just the Virginia Beach Boardwalk area. One big plus is as an EV/Tesla owner they have full speed 48amp Tesla chargers (2) and a CCS 32 amp charger. Which worked perfectly."

"Stayed for three nights for my first time in VA beach. Staff was friendly and check in was easy. Decent location. Within walking distance to the beach, several restaurants/bars and shops. Room setup is nice. There’s a kitchen with stove, microwave, standard fridge w/ freezer, silverware and cooking supplies. Everything needed to cook a meal in your room, if desired, although we didn’t. Bed was comfortable although we swapped out the sheets for our own as we didn’t feel the bed linens were great nor did they appear the cleanest. Hotel wifi is spotty. Floors are wood vinyl and dont feel like they do a very good job cleaning the floors in between stays. The worst part was a terrible smell in the front of the room that hits you in the face as soon as you walked in the door. Could not identify where the smell was coming from nor can I really even explain the smell itself but it was not pleasant. We tried to cover up with air freshener spray on numerous occasions but didn’t really help. Windows can’t be opened so there is no way to air the room out. There is no daily housekeeping either which I wasn’t aware of when I booked. Hotel is pretty outdated and definitely needs a freshening up. There’s a pool but a pretty lame one. We didn’t use it. I was kind of grossed out by this soapy film that hovered over the surface. Overall, this wasn’t the worst hotel I’ve stayed at, but I wouldn’t stay here again. Rating 2/5 because of the bad smell we encountered and no daily housekeeping. Otherwise this is no more than a 3/5 hotel."

"The only good thing about this hotel is the location is close to the beach. I'm sitting here listening to the TV from the next room. The bed sheets had not been changed when we got here. I called for clean sheets had to change them myself. The floor was so filthy after we walked on it for about an hour our feet were black. I mopped the floor with sink water and a washcloth. What a dump."
