The Spotlight on Howard Johnson by Wyndham Virginia Beach At The Beach

Beachside Comfort Just Minutes from the Music

Modern and budget-friendly, Howard Johnson by Wyndham Virginia Beach At The Beach sits right across from the ocean, offering simple comforts in a lively coastal setting. With flat-screen TVs in every room and a laid-back atmosphere, it's a great base for a music-filled getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans love the location—just a short ride to multiple local venues and only half a mile from the Virginia Beach Fishing Center, where many events and waterfront activities happen. The hotel’s quiet rooms make for ideal post-show wind-downs, and the outdoor pool is a bonus for daytime relaxation. While check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM, the staff is friendly and often accommodating for early arrivals or late departures.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for an affordable beach-and-music weekend
Solo travelers catching a dream concert and wanting a safe, simple stay
Couples making a romantic weekend of it
Fans who want a peaceful and clean place to crash after the show
Budget-conscious music lovers who want value and location

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no restaurant on-site, the hotel’s fantastic location means you're within walking distance to plenty of eateries, from casual beach grills to late-night pizza spots. Room service isn't available, but several nearby places deliver. Grab a bite at local breakfast diners open late morning—perfect for sleeping in after a concert.

Nightlife Options

You’re in the heart of Virginia Beach’s oceanfront strip, with bars, lounges, and live music joints just minutes away. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, the surrounding area more than makes up for it. Whether you're into beachside cocktails or late-night dance floors, you'll find something to match your vibe.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s excellent location and affordable price. Reviewers enjoy the proximity to the beach and the ease of getting to local music venues and attractions. Many note the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel is a bit dated in style, and some guests mention the furnishings could use an update. Parking can also be slightly tight during peak times. But if you're here to catch a show and crash by the beach, these are small trade-offs.

The Bottom Line

A convenient, budget-friendly stay just steps from the sand and close to Virginia Beach’s top concert venues—ideal for music fans who want comfort without the cost.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Wanda S, Randallstown

As an African American I felt really bad and disappointed when I arrived one hour early and was told by Rosemary that I had to wait for my room key. But about five white families came behind me and received their keys immediately. So I asked why I couldn't get my room key like the white families. Only then did I receive my room key with no explanation why I had to wait and the others didn't. My room had already been cleaned. It's a shame a black family who paid the same money for a room was made to feel so bad about staying there. The pain, anguish, and disappointment leaves a bitter taste in my mouth and on my heart. I will never stay there again because of the prejudice and ignorance of the staff!

Liked: Location.
Disliked: Check-In.

The location was great but...

Liked: The location was great.
Disliked: The hotel was dirty, poorly maintained, and management was indifferent. The bedding was stained, items were left in the room from a previous guest, lamp didn’t work, elevator didn’t work on the first floor, dirty floors in room, and walls were dirty. Cigarette butts are all over the property and outside of room doors and on walkways. Burn holes in bedding. The staff engaged in a verbal altercation, yelling and cursing in front of guests. Management didn’t intervene. Breakfast was honey buns, cereal bars, and yogurt that sat out for hours without being refrigerated.

Bad

Disliked: The rooms were not clean and never got any cleaning service during our 3 days stay. The towels, beets has stains. The floor was dirty.This is not a recommended place if you are traveling with small children. When asked for extra blanket or pillow, the staff straight away refused it. He told us that light breakfast will be served between 6-9 and when we reached there by 6:30 am the door was locked and no one was there. The overall management was bad.
