What is the best hotel to stay in at Virginia Beach’s oceanfront?

I have stayed at the Holiday Inn Sunspree, and it was pretty nice. It was a little outdated though. I was thinking about staying at the Fairfield Inn & Suites, because it has good reviews. My husband and I and our 3 kids will be going. They are 4,6, and11. Anyone been there and stayed at a great hotel? We would like to stay in a suite again. Please give us some suggestions.

I really cannot express enough to you DO NOT stay at the Howard Johnson’s!!!

My husband and I took our daughter and a nephew who were at the time 8 and 9 years old. When we got into our room, there was still sand everywhere from the previous occupants. There was also food crumbs along the furniture. It was quite obvious that their housekeeping was poore quality. By the time we got done touring the area, it was late and we were all ready for bed. My husband and I climbed into our bed. We decided to stay up a little longer and watch some TV. I kept smelling something odd. I couldn’t quite point my finger on what the smell was. The next morning we got up and I was still smelling that odd odor. I pulled the covers back on the bed we wer sleeping in and in the middle was a huge orange urine stain in the bed we had just slept in! I was so disgusted that I called the manager to come up and see what I found and also insisted on housekeeping come to clean immediately. While waiting on the manager, I stripped the bed completely and stripped the bed the children slept in. While stripping the children’s bed, I found an USED HYPODERMIC NEEDLE on the floor next to the bed they were sleeping in!!! By that time, I was beyond livid! When the manager came up finally, she acted like it was no big deal. She told the housekeeper to remake the beds and vacuum. I stayed in the room while she “cleaned” while my husband took the kids to the beach. All she tried to get away with was barely vacuuming the traffic area. I was not satisfied and made her vacuum every inch of the room. (which should have been done before they ever rented the room out to begin with!) Later that day, it started to rain, so the kids asked to go to the indoor pool. That too was a nasty mess! The water was murky, the entire floor was cracked and covered in sand. The hot tub was also murky and even worse, literally slimy. Needless to say we left a couple of days early.
And what’s worse, is even after all we went through, they refused to give us a discount on the room!

Please Please Please do not stay at the Howard Johnson’s!!!
