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.

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.

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.

Horrible disgusting unpleasant nightmare will...

Liked: I didn't like a single thing about this hotel stay. If i could rate zero stars I would.
Disliked: The hotel was so disgusting and dirty. When we got to the hotel the front desk man was so ride and not hospitable whatsoever. When we got the room I was even more disgusted. I checked the sheets of bed and they were dirty and stained. The towels were also stained and dirty. We had to ask the front desk for new sheets and towels 3 times because he kept giving us dirty sheets. The floor of the room was dirty everything just seemed so unclean and unkempt. We only had 1 trashcan which we filled up the first day and we asked at the front desk and were not provided with another. One day we saw the housekeeping staff and 1 of them was sweeping water from the parking lot and the other one was going up and down on the elevator with a cart walking up and down the hallways but not entering any rooms and doing a bunch of nothing. We were told to leave our trash outside of our room by the front desk and the staff with the cart did not pick it up for an entire day. It seems like the staff was not working at all. The staircase stunk of cigarettes the only elevator was beaten up and also stunk. I hated it here and I will never come back. When I got home I realized I had an allergic reaction to whatever was on the sheets or pillows because I had red bumps on the side of my face that i laid on for a couple days. I've stayed in dozens of actual hotels and this was more of a motel or a shack. Just absolutely terrible.

Poor

Liked: The location to the sand and shops.
Disliked: Cleanliness was subpar. Stained sheets, food in microwave, sand all over upon check in, stained towels. The photos were not even close to what the facility looked like. The "included breakfast" wasnt even there. The "snack shack" where check in and breakfast was, was the size of a cafe and offered 1 mini muffin when entered. The cleaning staff was rude when asked for a roll of tp and a towel. There were 3 of us and only placed 2 towels in the room. Kindly asked for a 3rd and got an eye roll with a towel tossed. Microwave plugged into a lamp- fire hazard.
