Hilton Vacation Club The Historic Powhatan Williamsburg
I enjoyed staying in the resort. Feels like staying at home. Teens have their own space and the full kitchen, allows them to make their own meals and snacks.

Schooner Inn
Somewhat run down. The room was fine, but the outside corridors, elevator etc. are not up to modern standards. Quite tired.

A Place at the Beach
It was a great stay all in all. The room was just what we needed! The indoor hot tub was not working when we were there which was a bummer and the walk to the beach was a bit longer than expected but still a great place to stay, especially with children.

The Ocean Key Virginia Beach Resort
Room setup was great, ocean view was amazing. On site restaurant had good food and ice cream. Pots, pans, and plates provided. Close to Rudey Inlet and several other sites. Balcony door seal let wind through (not a big deal), wall had a gash in it, "living room vent" had mold, staff wasn't helpful ...
