Holiday Inn Va Beach-Oceanside (21st St)

My whole review - not broken down. No continental breakfast, which I knew. Restaurant on site, which is a big plus. The room is a typical room. Newer tile in bathroom floor/upper tub. tub is older, as is toilet, which are fine. No phone ports for recharging, had to use laptop, which is not optimal, but okay. The carpet was cleanish, meaning behind the furniture could use some work. AC worked fine, but not on point with temp. Okay balcony, even though pretty small, needs a cleaning, as does the tracks of balcony doors. Would be really nice to have a small table out there as well, since we had to put our drinks on the floor. Cannot enjoy room service outdoors either... The beds were very comfy, as was the pillows, and linens. The room also comes with hair dryer, iron, and ironing board. Very few coat hangers - glad I brought my own. Toiletries are still the little bottles, but good quality. The pool area is pretty small, but the water was nice.. It is 4' deep. Also needs cosmetic work from the ceiling and corner knocked off. Both pretty easy fixes. Parking is minimal at the property, you can park across the street, which I would never do. They also offer valet, which I also wouldn't do. Check in was easy peasy. Free coffee in the morning, and fruit water in the afternoon. The coffee was always empty - said someone else. Water is not good. The food at the restaurant is REALLY good - but bring your patience. The staff is really nice, but are dysfunctional. Everything is dysfunctional, from from house to waitstaff. They have no idea what tables they have, and run from inside to outside, to bar, to register to ring up everything every time. Did I mention the food? From room service, breakfast, happy hour, lunch, dinner, and dessert.... everything is GOOD. Whatever you do... DO NOT order the tea. It is GROSS. I wasn't the only one who found it undrinkable. Like swampwater. The water is bad too, but with lemon, is okay at best.
