Ideal location right on the beach.
Right on the beach, easy parking, a little tired and dated. Breakfast very limited. Given advice on local eating establishments however we didn’t use any of them as were out and about and decided to eat elsewhere.

It is an older property but you can tell they are working hard to give it a new facelift. Unique layout with the bathroom in a separate bedroom. Best breakfast on our trip. Staff is very attentive and makes sure tables are clean.

2/10 Poor

Not even with the bargain prices.
I requested a handicapped room. They had booked a regular room with a tub and no safety handrails. After a conversation they finally gave me the handicapped room. I guess they only had 2 rooms. My room smelled of dog. After complaining they supposedly tried to get rid of the dog odor. It lasted 1 night. If I didn’t need the handicapped room I would have asked for another. I bought a can of Lysol spray and sprayed every time I was in the room. Should at least keep one room that is not pet friendly. Also, we were there for a week and they changed towels twice and made the bed only once. Very poor housekeeping service. The hotel is very old and the appearance shows it. It even smells old. I will not be staying here again and won’t recommend it to my friends.

I great find on the beach in Norfolk👍😃
The Best Western Plus Holiday Sands was amazing. We were extremely lucky in that we were given a 2 bedroom unit right on the ocean. I was traveling with my teenage grandson (who wanted to visit the Wisconsin); our 2 rescue dogs & my 75 yo husband (whose health isn’t great). The room we stayed in had 2 new queen beds plus a small kitchen ( appliances only -luckily we were traveling in our RV so I had the plates & silverware). The room had been totally renovated-beautifully done. They gave you body wash, shampoo & rinse in the shower-not just the little samples! There was even an enclosed dog walk on the ocean that had sprinklers -watering every morning the grass there!! I was unable to get to the free breakfast as I had my hands full taking care of my ‘clan’, but I am sure it was wonderful. They didn’t change the towels everyday- which didn’t need to be done as we stayed there only 2 days. The weather while we were there was extremely windy from the latest storm up from the Gulf, otherwise I would have walked more on the beach. There were recycled doggie bags and a place to put them in the dog walk-which was great. Unfortunately the pool was closed, but it looked great, plus there were plenty of lounge chairs available had the wind not been so intense. The TV had many channels available plus there was good internet. The check in was easy as was the ck out. There was a laundry room with 2 washers & 2 dryers- pay with cc. Plenty of stores & restaurants close by.

6/10 Good

Although the property itself is somewhat pleasing to the eye, the rooms are all fairly older and need a thorough revamp. The room felt ‘wet’ for the first couple of days of our stay. It seemed to be more humid in our room than outside. Ants were seen in several occasions in the room. A guest above is played loud music until the wee hours of the morning and fireworks were set off about 1am in the parking lot. Not the fault of the hotel. Just the type of clientele perhaps.

The hotel was very nice and had a great breakfast but the outdoor pool was closed, assuming it was from the storm but nothing was posted online, I would have moved venues since I have 2 kids. I have joint issues and need to exercise before the day gets started and the fitness center was closed 2 days of my 3 day stay, again, if it was on their website before my visit I would have booked another place.

We had a great time. The breakfast was delicious. The coffee machine in the lobby was wonderful. They have a citrus shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The towels had some stains, but nothing unsanitary. Honestly looked like someone tried to clean the sand off their shoes and it scuffed the towels. Overall a great time.

But the guy was already mad from before so who knows. Kitchen area was extremely used looking.

This place sucks.
This place was terrible got there around 230 pm room wasn't ready checkin was 4 we understood that. But didn't get the call that our room was ready till 6 pm Got in room it wasnt very clean had what looked like blood stains on walls and shower curtain. Tv in front didn't work well kept loosing signal. No blanket on bed had to go to front desk for one. They said it summer time that why there wasnt one. Asked for clean towels never got any. There for 3 days room was never serviced. Phone in room didnt even work. The soap in the shower was empty told them never got tended to. Also all hours of the night you could hear doors slaming. Asked to upgrade rooms was told couldn't because we booked through 3rd party.
