Sundial Motel

STAY AWAY...this hotel is rusty, dirty, and roach infested. The shower curtains and ceiling were stained. The vents are full of dust and food particles. The sheets were piled stained and we saw a few roaches. YUCK!!!!!

Much improved!!! We stayed at the Sundial Inn many years ago and not enjoyed it but it has been totally revamped!!! The motel smells wonderful including stairwells and elevators. Most importantly the mattresses were the best we have ever slept on. We liked them so much that we asked what kind they were at check out. Serta pillow top by the way. We will be back!

Wow, worst hotel I've been to by far. Cleaning staff left rotten lettuce in the sink (see picture) and sand everywhere. Who does that??! Smells like cigarettes and I hope to god we're not bringing unwanted guests home... have some common decency and clean the room between guests.

Very, very bad. Will not stay again, please learn from my mistakes. This hotel is scary, dirty and when I say dirty I mean filthy. I don't think they cleaned the room AT ALL. The fridge had leftover food, there was a open ketchup packet on the floor, and also pieces of glass. It also smelled like a overflowing ashtray, it's the hotel of your worst gory, slash movie/nightmare. In house complimentary entertainment us free in the form of cops, EMT and fights all night.

I wish I read reviews before attempting to stay at this dump of a hotel. For the first time ever I tried to dispute a charge with a Sapphire Reserve card and they were not able to do anything. How can you ever possibly provide written evidence of a room that stank like an ashtray from a pool hall from the 1950s? I stay at a hotel roughly 50+ times a year for work and this IS the worst one I have come across. While most hotels on VA Beach are overpriced, even before Memorial Day I said what could possibly go wrong with this $160 a night stay? I mean most hotels for ~$160 are adequate and you get what you pay for, but this one, you just get charged for stuff you do not want. The list is as follows:1) a smoking room when you request a non-smoking room. "All rooms are non smoking and we cannot help if someone smokes in them". Well you can by actually charging the $250 cleaning fee. This was during COVID and they sent a maskless janitor with a can of nasty smelling Glade to "freshen the air". Yeah that won't work especially since the walls are stained nicotine yellow. 2) high schoolers and college kids running amuck drunk on the balconies. 3) listening to the tv next door through the paper thin walls. 4). Nefarious characters lingering around the property.This place is not habitable if you are over the age of 22. Not family friendly. Not cost friendly and definitely not clean. You can find a really nice hotel for $160 a night anywhere in Florida on the beach if you want to stay down south. I had to leave within 30 minutes of checking in. Even though departing within 30 minutes and not necessarily cancelling, I call it fleeing, I still got charged one night for a 2 night night stay. It is more of a scam than a place to get a good comfortable nights rest. It is a place that advertises very low pricing and sets you up for misery. For work all I need is a comfy bed, a warm shower, and peace. I do not expect a Ritz Carlton for $160 a night, but I do expect comfort, safety and cleanliness. My tolerance is pretty high for small business, especially in the hospitality industry competing against giants. Within those 30 minutes just wanting a quiet, comfortable bed, in a room that does not have a smell that gives you a headache within 5 minutes of entry, I wanted to make a U-turn out of there and I did. Walk in - walk out. I sucked up the $160, paid for another hotel and got the heck out. Worth it.

This motel is about a 2.5.The pros: Few blocks from the beach. Free onsite parking. The ac blows COLD air. Microwave. Fridge. Pretty clean room. Spacious for two days. Nice staff. Bug free (cause the last place we stayed had bugs). Reasonably priced. Hmmm, that's it.The cons: the pool fits 20 ppl. There is no elevator. You have to walk past smokers to get to the room. Low lighting in rooms. Minor repairs needed in room but not horrible. Our room was not serviced. Beds are full-too small for two adults. In a pinch, we'd stay here again.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 days and 2 nights in our first trip to VB. Our experience was ok. We were able to check in early without an extra fee, which was great. The front desk staff was nice. The location is great- so close to the beach! The bathroom had obviously just been wiped down and the bedding was clean except for one pillowcase that had something crusty on it. The hotel is a little run down- everything is a little beat up. For example the steps are cracked with peeling paint, the elevator is dirty inside, the carpet in the room had some stains and was dirty around the edges of the room. The chairs were rickety and felt like they would fall apart when I sat down. The bathtub was uneven and the mattress covers were torn. The blanket in the drawer was pilled and so scratchy I don't see how anyone would want to use it. The pool looked disgusting but I guess maybe that's cause it's not pool season yet? I'm not sure. And lastly on the day we left there were 5 men hanging out downstairs talking loudly and smoking and then they were hanging out in the lobby when we checked out. It felt strange, like we interrupted them and they immediately stopped talking and laughing as soon as we entered the lobby. They made me feel uncomfortable and it made it seem like it was actually one of those motels where people live week to week. Our stay was meh and we will stay somewhere else next time.

Expedia and hotels.com lie! 30,000 4 star reviews DO NOT STAY HERE!OldDirtyThe bed was full of sandThe shower is dirty Staff are rude?Section 8 housing?hud housingI left after hearing ppl arguing and another washing the clothes in a bucket outside.

If I could give this place a negative 100 I would. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT go here at all!!!! We went for the weekend for a sports tournament and I couldn't bare myself to stay there after being there for 2 hours; smoke smell even though it said "non-smoking"; dirty bathroom, carpet was tearing apart, couldn't close the bathroom door because part of the tiles were missing. Oh my god DISGUSTING! The 2 lady's at the front desk were really nice and it's not their fault this place is what it is but other than that THE WORST!!!!

The people at the sundial do not like Black people .I would not return there if i am every in Virginia Beach for Vacation staying at that place was the worst part of my trip .The cleaning staff was ok very nice but others were not nice to myself and my family but treated white families with respect . Never Again
