Omni Richmond Hotel
The room was very clean and comfortable, which made for a pleasant stay. I really enjoyed the indoor pool—it was a great feature. The only thing I wish the hotel had was a hot tub, as that would have made the experience even better. Overall, a good stay and I’d consider coming back.

The Ocean Key Virginia Beach Resort
Room setup was great, ocean view was amazing. On site restaurant had good food and ice cream. Pots, pans, and plates provided. Close to Rudey Inlet and several other sites. Balcony door seal let wind through (not a big deal), wall had a gash in it, "living room vent" had mold, staff wasn't helpful ...
