The Spotlight on Sundial Inn

Affordable Beachside Comfort Just Steps from the Action

Modern convenience meets budget-friendly charm at the Sundial Inn, located just a 5-minute walk from the vibrant Virginia Beach Boardwalk and Beach. This classic motel-style property offers a laid-back vibe with essential comforts, including free on-site parking, a seasonal outdoor pool, and in-room conveniences like microwaves, mini-fridges, and cable TV. Whether you're here for a big show or a weekend escape, the Sundial Inn is all about easy access and relaxed stays.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and the Sundial Inn delivers. You're less than a mile from local entertainment hotspots like the Virginia Beach Amusement Park, and just minutes from popular concert venues and beachfront stages. With free parking and a walkable distance to the beach and nightlife, you can skip the rideshares. Plus, the motel’s relaxed atmosphere is perfect for unwinding post-show without city noise keeping you up. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, giving you time to settle in before the evening kicks off, and check-out at 11:30 AM lets you sleep in a bit after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable, central base
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list gig
  • Couples planning a music-filled beach weekend
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want to save for merch and tickets

Food and Drink Options

While the Sundial Inn doesn’t have on-site dining, its unbeatable location means you’re within walking distance of countless beachfront eateries, casual pubs, and late-night snack spots. Grab a bite after the show or enjoy coffee in the lobby each morning. Many nearby diners and cafés serve breakfast well into the late morning, perfect for sleeping in.

Nightlife Options

You’re never far from the fun. With the boardwalk just minutes away, you’ll find live music stages, beach bars, and local lounges offering everything from craft beers to cocktails. Whether you're up for dancing or just want a relaxed drink by the ocean, Virginia Beach nightlife is right outside your door.

What People Say

Guests love the location—it’s often praised as perfect for beach access and easy walks to entertainment. Many highlight the affordability and the added bonus of free parking. Rooms are clean and basic, with just what you need for a short, music-filled stay.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the property is a bit dated, and soundproofing isn’t the strongest—so pack some earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Wi-Fi reception can vary, and there’s no elevator, so request a ground-floor room if stairs are an issue.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for an affordable, no-frills stay within walking distance of concerts, beach fun, and nightlife, the Sundial Inn hits all the right notes.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Diane, Manassas

Disliked: Was not pleased that we had to pay for extra parking and pay extra for a roll away when there were 3 people in the room. I have stayed there a few times but this is my last.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Christina, Charlottesville, visiting 5th Street Beach

Liked: Kitchenette with a full refrigerator was a nice plus!
Disliked: The customer service was horrible! They checked us in, we unloaded all our luggage, took it up a floor only to find the housekeeper was still in the room cleaning and told us we had to wait. We went back to the front desk to see about switching rooms and were told again, very rudely, that we would just have to wait.

Really good but had some...

Liked: Great price for one night
Disliked: I had few things that I think were just a result of how old the property was but the parking lot was teeny tiny, the shower head was dripping, there was some kind of clothing tag in the toilet, the bathroom that had the shower and toilet was so small that the door kept on hitting the toilet, there was no hand soap and there was a tiny brown stain on my bed sheets. My sister in law and I went to see a comedy show at The Dome which was a super convenient three minute walk away from the hotel but we just had a few small things that bothered us
