Schooner Inn

This a was hidden gem of a hotel. Great price and location. Very nice double seated jacuzzi in the room. Right on the water. Balcony a little small and the pool small but was great for a weekend getaway. Very nice staff. Fancy seafood restaurant within walking distance. We will come back again.

So the reviews were mixed on this hotel with some being very negative. However, with a limited budget and a desire for beach and oceanfront room - it was this hotel or nothing. Last stop on the boardwalk both literally and figuratively. We arrived late Saturday night after booking months earlier through Booking.com. We pulled up to the office and parked by the pool right outside. Check in was super quick and easy - 2 room keys and wi fi password. Luggage cart was available so we loaded up and headed upstairs. Second floor room 226. GOOD ROOM. So far so good - the girl checking me in was very pleasant and helpful. I hoped the room would be OK. Hubby is used to Hampton Inns and often dogs the budget places I book when we go to the beach or NYC. I was in for a treat! The room was lovely. 2 large double beds tastefully accessorized with long pillow and sham. Clean linens on both the bed and in the bathroom. A little breakfast nook by the window with table and chairs, luggage racks, kitchenette stocked with the basics - range, fridge, microwave, coffee maker. Balcony was awesome with 2 chairs and nothing between us and the beach but a railing (no netting or other barrier often placed there). TV worked fine and plenty of outlets. So we were set!Hubby moved the car to the "permanent" spot along the perimeter and in the shade. It would not move for 4 days. There is a slow moving double elevator but we always took the steps. We were towards the end where the steps were, our car was, and the alley to the beach. Just perfect.Day 1 on the beach we learned there are no umbrella or chair rentals near us. No problem as we had 2 chairs, towels, a blanket and small cooler. Hubby hit Sunsations and for $35 we had an umbrella. If you go this route, you will have trouble if there are high winds. Take the time to sink the pole VERY DEEP into the sand. We did not do so and couldn't use it 1 day and it blew out one day.The walk to the beach is so short - easy to run up to use the restroom, cool down or grab a bite to eat. There are also spickets on your way to rinse the sand off. Also close are at least 3 good places to eat - 2 dinner (Chix on the Beach, Waterman's) and breakfast (Mahi's). The last night we wanted to see the rest of the boardwalk and try something new - so we took the trolley to the other end and slowly walked the 3 miles back. I highly recommend as the other end of the boardwalk is a bit different. Not better but offers a different vibe.The staff checked in daily to offer service - linen change, coffee, towels, etc. Each was nicer than the prior one. We didn't need much - trash dumped and coffee. But this is so much better than Hampton Inn where you have to track someone down to get more TP. We did have one issue with the toilet which was not caused by me (which leaves . . . hubby?). Anyways, I went to the front desk to ask for a plunger and they had to call maintenance - who was knocking on the door less than 5 minutes later. AWESOME service. Again, better than Hampton Inn.Check out was easy. And I'm assuming here I'll get the $50 hold released as promised. I have no reason to believe they won't as everything else was as promised or better. I HIGHLY recommend you stay here! Definitely would do it again.

Great location friendly staff plenty of places to eat and awesome restaurants easy to get around everything is easy to get to

Smallish older hotel at the end of the boardwalk near Rudee Inlet. Our check-in clerk, Robert, gave us plenty of information upon arrival. The room was simple and tasteful, and was the freshest-smelling hotel room I'd ever encountered. Nice pool, and the hotel faces the beach. Everyone on staff was courteous and friendly. It's less populated on the beach than properties closer to the center of the boardwalk, which suited us well. I'd stay here again for sure!

I stayed at the Schooner Inn for about two and a half weeks, as part of a very large group. We all work for a production company that was hired to build the stages and execute production for the Something In The Water Festival here in VA Beach. All I have to say is a huge "Thank You" to the entire staff at the Schooner Inn for being so helpful and accommodating. We worked very long and odd hours, came in pretty dirty and there was a lot of us to shuffle around, with room assignments changing fairly regularly due to the shifting nature of our work. A huge shout out to Robert at the front desk, you guys need to give that man a raise, seriously. Great place to stay, great staff and accomodations. Definitely hope I get to stay here again next year

Got home after spending 7 wonderful days at The Schooner, this has been my 4th-5th trip and not once have I had any issues with the room or staff. I look forward to going back again.

My family and I stayed in this hotel on our way home to NY from VA. Upon arrival there were no luggage carts available, we saw one throughout our stay, and there were again none when we checked out. The workers at the front desk carried a bit of an attitude when we asked about this. I will say that the room was very clean and orderly. Since this hotel is located in Ocean City, Maryland, there is plenty to do within walking distance of the hotel. The views were also pretty nice.

Great place to stay in during the winter season. The prices is cheap for what it is and some of the rooms even have heart shaped jacuzzis in the room. I live 10 mins away but every once in a while my girlfriend and I will book a room to use the jacuzzi and get away for a night. The staff is a little slow but will get the job done.

The hotel is a little out dated but very worth what we paid for it!! At the price we paid I was expecting to see a bug or two but not the case. Beds very comfortable and room clean..well mine was. My daughter for two strains of hair on the sheets. Also, the room doors really sucked! Elbow grease had to be used to make sure it was closed. Other than that I would stay here again. Plenty of parking and oceanfront all for about $70!! Definitely couldn't beat that.

We stayed here on 11/14/2021 and 11/15/2021.  The front desk was super nice and friendly.  I don't even know where to start on the room!  We're already planning our next trip.  Room was perfect- Jacuzzi tub (!), with a small balcony. Had a kitchenette, fridge, microwave and coffee. Tried to do laundry with the online app (machines don't take quarters) but it wouldn't start, but whatever - I'd rather listen to the ocean. The shower had enough pressure.We enjoyed the room so much we flexed our travel plans and extended a night.  The second room was a king.Grade:  AWould stay again:  YesThe first room cost $70.93, and the second room ~$115.00.
