Amenties listed Free ParkingFree BreakfastFree InternetPet friendlyRestaurant(s)Listed as 3 out of 5 stars on Tripadvisor and 65% recommended based on Hot.wire user reviews.

Listed at $139 on the Marriott website. Tried Hotwire first but 4* was over $70. 3.5* and below were in my price range but the hotels identified did not instill much confidence based on Tripadvisor reviews Tried $50 with just Airport South zone and was rejected. Resubmitted at $52 with Airport North added to get the win. Used the BB PRICELINE link here. Can't tell you how helpful this board is when trying to book. Keep up the good work!

Amenities listed: Airport Shuttle Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool Restaurant Business Center High Speed Internet Very happy with this booking. Was able to easily identify the hotel based on the listing on the Hotwire Hotel List sticky thread. Listed as $151/night on Sidestep.com Was also able to book a car rental through HOTWIRE for $20 less per day than any other site I checked. I appreciate this site and made sure to use your links to book. Keep up the good work.

Sorry. I put the amenities in an edit to the post. Here they are in a reply. Amenties: Complimentary Breakfast, Fitness Center, Pool, Business Center, Laundry, Hi-Speed Internet Access

Country Inn and Suites for $69/night from 8/8/08 - 8/10/08. Amenties: Complimentary Breakfast, Fitness Center, Pool, Business Center, Laundry, Hi-Speed Internet Access Hotel Website shows $102.60 as cheapest rate. Also there is a complimentary Disney shuttle in case anyone wants to know. This was a question that I had and one that was critical to my decision to book. This site helped me positively id the hotel before I booked. Thanks!

Yeah I was thinking that booking direct would probably work better but I was hoping I could find something even better through Priceline and/or Hotwire. I've stayed down there several times and there are quite a few decent places. I'll probably book the Holiday Inn Surfside on 26th again. I've had a good experience with them in the past. Thanks for the help guys!

I checked Hotwire. They label the area as VA Beach - Seaside Area. The area they highlight for this area is a bit larger than the area I am looking for. The majority of the area is within a few blocks of the ocean but also extends into the interstate. How far back it goes onto the highway is the question. They only mark off major roads and it makes it difficult to tell. The zone also extends further north and south than I like but the majority of hotels in the town are within the 10st - 30st range. I do not want to be back toward the interstate part of town, but anything with 3-5 blocks of the beach would be fine. I checked availability and its not much help. There were 2 hotel listed. Both had a restaurant and pool (big shocker in a resort town!) and one had a fitness center as well. The one with the fitness center is listed a 3* for $59/night. The other is a 2* for $75/night. Is it probably safe to assume that the $75 is closer to the beachfront area? Any ideas?

I'm thinking of using either priceline or hotwire to book a hotel for Easter weekend. The dates I'm looking for are 3/24 - 27. I need to stay in the VA Beach downtown area. It doesn't need to be oceanfront but I would like to be within the 10st - 30st range. I checked the hotel list on the board but it only listed the Doubletree. Does anybody know if there are more options on either site?
