Top Portsmouth Hotel Reviews

Schooner Inn

Schooner Inn

8/10 Good
"This is a great place to stay if you want a clean room with basic amenities. It is an older hotel but well kept, safe, and the staff is amazing. We have stayed here several times and it is great to see the same friendly faces each time we come. The beds are comfortable, there are plenty of soft pillows, lots of towels, great water pressure, rooms are clean and smell great, small fridge and microwave work great. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of the age of the facility, the need to slam your door to get it to catch, and some repairs that could be done outside the elevators as you go to your room. I personally love the old feel to this hotel. There is something about feeling like you are stepping back in time for me that makes a vacation more memorable. We will continue to come back here whenever we come to VA Beach!"
