I have been staying at this hotel for 5 years. I visit about 3 times per year to see local friends. The Sheraton has made significant improvements over the past two years. Including remodeling and improving the quality of their staff. My recent visit was wonderful thanks to Georgette, Mari, Susan and Shaun in Security. The front desk ladies knew me by name and made me feel so Welcome upon arrival. 👍😊 Shaun in Security actually accompanied me during late night walks of my service dog to be sure we were safe.🙏😊 What a kind and thoughtful staff team that always asked if I needed anything to make my stay more comfortable. Now that’s service with a smile! Kudos to your Team. They are the reason why we will keep returning to the Sharaton Virginia Beach. The new restaurant in the hotel has Excellent food. Thank you Marcus, Ashley and John. 👍😊 One of the best kept secrets in Virginia Beach! The best food I had out of any restaurant in Virginia Beach. The accommodations, staff, food, service, cleanliness and location were the Best!!! I will definitely be returning. Thank you for making our stay so lovely! 🙏😊

When I arrived to check in, there was a massive line waiting to be helped by only two workers. When it was my turn they said that I have to wait to get my room because they are backed up and need more time to get it ready, I guess. So I waited until they called me to finally let me know the room is ready to check in, hours later. When I arrived and saw the room it completely smelled like urine. It was disgusting. The smell was unbearable! So I went to the front desk and they didn’t have another room available since they were all booked. They ended up refunding but won’t go here again. Avoid avoid at all cost. Lack of cleanliness and service. Pros: location is great.
