Navy Lodge

Navy Lodge on Little Creek became our humble abode for the month that we were waiting to move into our new home. Although it isn't luxurious by any means, we had a comfortable and convenient stay. Everyone who works at the desk was super accommodating and friendly. After a few weeks, they knew us decently well and always went out of their way to say hello.Perks: laundry that works super well, continentalbreakfast with decent options, easy parking, good location, privacy and quiet. PET FRIENDLY!Cons: really inconvenient gym hours, still not cleaning due to "covid" and/or staff shortage.

Definitely better off here than NGIS! Having a kitchenette in the room is a life changer. I would hate to always be eating out all the time. For the most part, the staff is extremely nice. I had one odd run in with, one member that told me I could not use the cardio room at two in the afternoon. She seemed proud while having her power trip. I thought it is extremely odd that the room does not open until 4 PM. I see people using it all the time throughout the day, and throughout the week, yet for some reason, when I went in there, I was told that I had to leave because it was too early, 2pm is not early! I don't know if this is just something that is set at this location or if all Navy lodges don't open their cardio room until after 4 PM, which is ridiculous in my opinion, especially when it opens at 6am on the weekends. Other than that one lady, this place is infinitely better than any NGIS.Laundry room machines break down all the time and the breakfast is subpar, but the fact that it exists is a Plus to me.

Very clean and nice staff. I would highly recommend staying here. We really enjoy our stays here.

Because we are foolish we planned an overnight trip to Virginia Beach during the height of the summer travel season. Because we were lucky we were able to snag a room at one of the Navy Lodges in the area. While others were stuck with cramped and expensive rooms in chain hotels we had a spacious mini suite with a full kitchen for under $100. The room was nothing special, featuring two beds, a recliner, and a tv. We ended up with a wheelchair accessible room so our bathroom was almost the same size as our bedroom with a low hanging closet and a roll in shower. Our room would have been a cozy and convenient place to spend a few days while exploring the nearby sights. The lodge is located just a few miles from resorts and tourist trap restaurants, but on a small base complete with fast food options and well stocked shoppettes. Breakfast was available, but be prepared for a crowd. We took advantage of the kitchen and coffee maker in our room but did appreciate the mini waffle maker and hot oatmeal. If you are a part of the military community and are planning a visit to Norfolk or Virginia Beach it is absolutely worth your time to check for room availability at the Navy Lodge.

Always try staying here when we are in town with kiddos the rooms have been renovated and some are still under renovations but it's always worth the price for the family suites.

There are times when I read my fellow Yelper reviews and all I can think is....what? Were we in the same place? This was one of those rare occasions.The Reverend Dr. Steak and I spent many years living in Tidewater during his military career. We have amazing friends there still and love to go down periodically to enjoy some good laughs, good food and overall slower, more relaxed pace of life. This time with two kids we thought, hey, why not see if one of the Navy Lodges are open? Oceanfront in the off-season is cool but not as inexpensive as you'd think given all the taxes. Lo and behold, we scored a 'family suite' at the Navy Lodge at Little Creek. Cool. As they are on-base military accommodations, there are no taxes, what they quote is what you pay. I admit I read others' reviews and felt a little uncertain that this was a wise choice, I have come to trust the Yelp community and we have had great experiences thanks to this place. We figured, what the hey, if it's as bad as they say we'll just check out early and go find another hotel - not hard in the off-season.I'm glad we went. Because this hotel, it was beautiful. Clean. Comfortable. Surprisingly quiet given its' size. Our family suite was quite nice, with two bedrooms, each flanking the living room/kitchen area, and each bedroom with it's own en suite bath. Yay! No sharing baths, or even walls, with the kids! The kitchen area was well appointed and beautifully done with granite countertops, tile backslash and under-counter lighting. The living room area was not huge, and I think if we were actually PCS'ing it might get a wee bit cramped, however for a long weekend it was quite fine.The Lodge offers a continental breakfast that is exactly the same as every other hotel continental breakfast. Waffle griddles, breads and muffins, oatmeal, boiled eggs, cereal, milk, juice, coffee. Staff were pleasant and accommodating. It is seriously very close to the NEX and Commissary, we just walked across the parking lot to shop. More time to drive over than walk over. That was also great for those things you forget to pack and also snacks for the teens. Guests can use the base pools (outdoor) and the fitness center nearby - neither are on-site. If I were a betting gal, I'd say that this hotel is managed under contract by the same company that manages Holiday Inns - the decor was very familiar in that way. Those wishing to stay must have base privileges, either military or federal government. You can sure bet that the next time we are heading down there, we will book here again.

Had a great experience for my month long stay in a single room, not so great experience in the 2 bed family suite after the family arrived. If you don't have pets or are allergic to pets then I'd recommend staying somewhere else. This is this first military lodge in 14 years we've stayed at where all the rooms are pet friendly. Unfortunately we didn't know this until we walked in our room. Smelled terrible and the couch was pretty much unusable (smell of wet dog) & 2nd bedroom carpet smelled like urine. We tried many things to get rid of the smell & switch rooms but nothing helped. My wife had some allergic reactions to her skin. When asking the supervisor about why aren't there any non-pet rooms, she just said that all rooms are pet friendly and that she just had a family check out yesterday because their kid was having allergic reactions and shrugged her shoulders. Unfortunately there was nowhere else to stay in the area since peak PCS season and summer rates are crazy everywhere. But I will say that the staff was amazing. Even though they were short handed, they were always amazing.

As we wrap up our stay at the hotel, I'd give the staff a 5 star, but the room a 3/4. When we first arrived I really questioned whether the room had been cleaned. There were LIVE crickets everywhere. Not joking; I killed at least 4-5 of them. Throughout our month long stay I also encountered NUMEROUS pincher bugs. I have a 1 & 3 year old who played on the floor. Needless to say, it was gross. They were on the carpets, in the bathroom, and under the sink. The door that goes to the patio has a HUGE gap, so I took Kleenex and stuffed it under the door to keep the cold out... And ironically the number of bugs went down by a lot.Unless I asked, I never got dishwasher soap. I ended up buying my own because I washed dishes 1-2 times a day. I also bought a sponge because washing dishes with a washcloth is arcaic lol.The pack n play provided was good. But unless you know how to use those, you'll have to google for instructions.The continental breakfast was great.The carpets are . They really should be shampooed. The bathrooms were always cleaned and the beds nicely made. I requested my room to be cleaned in the morning because I have small children. They graciously said yes to my request.Be prepared, if you have kids, to watch the same episodes to shows... ON LOOP. That's not a joke. I watched the same episodes of The Loud House, The Casagrandes and EVERY SHOW on Disney, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network, work 3 straight weeks! It wasn't till Thanksgiving day that something new same on... Sigh... But we were leaving the next day lol.Overall we had a nice stay. It's not our home so obviously my critique is probably a bit critical. We made do. I had to buy Tupperware dishes and seasonings (salt and pepper). I also wish they had an extra skillet that was a skillet to flip eggs in, but it is what it is.The WiFi was good. Easily accessible. The downside, they don't have a communal computer so you'll have to go somewhere if you need to print anything.

Attended some training in good ole Va-Beach over the weekend. Initially I was a little upset that I couldn't get it to the NGIS, but after checking in to "The Lodge", I was happy a pig in mud.I asked for a suite but they didn't have any available, but that's okay, every room has a small kitchen, perfect for a single person on a short weekend.I've stayed at the Navy Lodge near NOB and it was really nice too. Bottom line, the NL is great. A great value and a great place. Thanks for making my stay enjoyable!

Awful customer service! My room supposed to be ready at their normal checking but they have short staffs!!! Zero star!!
