The room needed some upgrades and the tolit was comming off of the floor every time you sat down on it and sometimes when you would call the front desk, they would not answer (i would not have liked that to happen if it was an emergency). Overall the hotel was okay. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r514449 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r514450 I stayed here for 2 nights. It was very nice, the room was clean, the staff was friendly, pool was clean. They need to have more parking for vistors. I really liked the idea of being away from all the noise. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r514450 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r376912 First off I was at a joint war fighting conferene at the va beach convention center and I did not look very hard for accomodations. So this is my fault for staying here. I checked in on Sunday around 3 pm and was greeted by a nice girl who I never saw again. I was first issued a card to room 527 the door and card reader were so rusty the door would not open. Finally an hour later they did something so i could go in. I wanted to take a nap however the room was 89 degrees yes 89 degrees. There are sensors in the rooms that measure body temperature before the so called air conditioning will operate. Numerous things did not work such as mentioned below. I called and was moved to 525 this was not much better. Now I know what you are thinking why didnt you just check out and leave. I would have however I was told by the front desk no refunds sorry. At 140 per nights I just wasted nearly a grand. Here are the main highlights of why I do not recommend this motel. I was Charged for 5 days only stayed 4 I was told there is nothing we can do call hotels.com. They do not give receipts after you check out. So who knows what you actually pay for. No air conditioning ( The best i could get is 75 degrees) I opened the duct and the filter was black and mildewed. You know how the ones for the house are supposed to be white or blue. Rude Staff they answer phone call after phone call and make you wait until they are done instead of asking the caller to hold. The mini refrigerator in the room did not work The water pressure was very weak. Hence it took nearly 45 minutes to fill the hot tub. The humidity is so great in the room that there is a layer of moisture over everything. The AC rattled and leaked condensation. The furniture is so old and outdated that the laminate is peeling off. The towels and sheets on the bed are as rough as sandpaper. The cable television is not bad however I could only get 5 channels. So if you are on vacation and it starts to rain you better bring a deck of cards. The cleaning staff were nice however only one person spoke english. When you tried to sleep you could hear the neighbors on both sides snoring. The walls are paper thin. No wireless internet that works No Ironing board or iron. If I was still in college and needed a place to crash after a party I guess its okay however I would never let a member of my family stay there. I was a marine and I slept better in the field Avoid at all costs.... http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r376912 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r514451 We have stayed at the Schooner for 15 stays for our annual Virginia Beach vacation. The Schooner is in a great location, at the South end of the beach away from everything - BUT stores, etc. are a short walk away or accessible via trolly. For the price, you can't beat the Schooner. Nothin' fancy, just the essentials with fully stocked kitchen and a good clean bed and fresh linens for a good nights sleep. Ocean front rooms allows for great sites of the ocean, ships, dolphins, boats, skate boarders, joggers and bikers, etc. This part of the beach is not congested like the rest is. The parking is limited but you can park across the road in an overflow parking lot. The staff has always been friendly. The only major problem that we ever had was with the rooms not always being ready when we would check in and we booked months in advance. I think that this could be easily fixed by proper scheduling of the housekeeping staff. We had had some minor things like no kitchen table for the kitchenette when we arrived and all we had to do is call the front office and it was taken care of timely. There is a safe in the room to lock up your valuables while you are at the beach. I think it is just a nice place to stay, especially for the money. Like I said, nothing fancy, but it is nice. I have stayed there for 15 years with my family. That should account for something. ENJOY! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r514451 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r514452 We stayed in a 2 room suite. It has everything you need. All the dishes, little fridge, stove, microwave. Was a nice place to stay for the money. It is located at the end of the strip and not alot going on at that end of the strip which I liked. The only negative about this hotel is that I accidentally left something behind and it took them over a month to send it back to me. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r514452 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r514453 Staff could care less.Just do enough to get by.Hot tub had water in it when we got there.Had to run water thru it flush out crude b4 using.The kingsize bed was nothing more than 2 double beds pushed together with some sort of pad to close the gap.Pad kept sinking to where you felt as though you were going to fall thru.Called the desk to ask about getting heat in room.Was told with the attitude that I was to dump to turn it on and just turn it on it will work.I had it on for 1/2 hour b4 calling than they sent a maint man who looked as if he just came from the slums.He said if you open the door the heat goes off and you must reset it.Should of had directions posted to operate it.Except for being close to the ocean and inlet for fishing there was nothing to recommend it to anyone. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r514453 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r340821 We loved the Schooner!! The price was great. It was very clean. The decor was modern. The bed was larger than a king. The kitchenette was nice. The heart shaped jacuzzi made my jaw drop! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r340821 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r514454 Staff were unfriendly and unhelpful, at times downright rude. Poor plumbing. There was a major water leak in the hallway. Staff's solution was to place buckets and trash cans beneath the "drips" for a day or so. Toilet in our room over flowed. The maintanence man was angry with us?!?! Housekeeping was poor. We were there for 5 nights. The bed linens were not changed the entire time. Nor were the floors swept. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r514454 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r514455 location and value. staff attentive when needed. location is suited for families not to party. close to beach. airplanes from nearby air base can be loud, but not overbearing. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Schooner_Inn/r514455
