	Date of Stay: June, 2009
ocation on the beach.

	Date of Stay: May, 2008
I don't care what all the other reviews said... this place was worth my time and money!

	Date of Stay: November, 2008
The staff both upon checkin and checkout were extremely pleasant. The room itself was ok - liked the view from the back. I also know I didn't pay the most for it either. Only prepackaged sandwiches in lobby unless you made it down for breakfast. It was just ok.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
It was close to the beach. The room I was booked for was so small that we could barely move around in it.

Date of Stay: April, 2008

I spent a week at this hotel on business. The first night I was on the first floor. Somebody upstairs was having a party at 2 AM. I called front desk and things quieted down quickly. Staff was very helpful and accommodating throughout my stay. Upstairs floors are VERY squeeky. If you value your sleep at night I recommend requesting an upstairs room. Views out the windows were great. I tried two pieces of exercise equipment in the small exercise room. Both were not working.

Date of Stay: August, 2008

The Best Western Holiday In Sands and Suites was a good value for your money. The rooms were comfortable and clean, do upgrade to a room with a private patio and view of the Bay. You could see dolphins during the day and the bay bridge tunnel lite up a night. The staff was very very professioanl and accomadating. The breakfast that was offered with the room was always nice, well stocked and the coffee was always good and hot. The pool was on the older side and needed to be cleaned more often and the patio furniture was in need of a serious up grade. They did offer beach chairs but not what I was expecting. They were Wal-mart 9.99 specials that sat very low to the ground. But and this is a big but the hotel was in a neighbor that I did not feel was safe to walk around in at night, even if you did venture out on foot there was really no place to go. There were no restaurants, shops or other tourist type venues in walking distances. Everything you might want was always a car drive away. You could tell by the new constrution that the area was in the process of trying to upgrade. As long as you realize you are not in a Virginia Beach type resort area it was a good value for your money.

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
People were very friendly. Noise. It was, clean, the ladies that clean our room was excellent. We ate the first day in but the room when they serve the food was not good cleaning but people were so nice.

Date of Stay: April, 2008

See my other review for hotel details. The travel agency charged my credit card when I made the reservation. When I checked out of the hotel I made sure I told them I had already been charged by the travel agency. They said no problem. Of course I got home and sure enough I had been charged for the room by the hotel (less then the travel agency- so much for low price gaurantee!). I called the travel agency and told them my problem - they said hotel would credit my credit card within 48 hrs. 4 days later, no credit. I call the travel agency back. This time the hotel manager won't be back until Monday. The travel agency promised to call me back on Monday to tell me problem has been rectified. No call. I called them again (I am calling from Germany so it's not free). This time the guy tells me it will be 3 or 4 days before my card is credited. Then I got mad and asked for a supervisor. He gave me the same line. I asked for his boss. I'll let you know if he calls back. So much for their "Customer Bill of Rights." Wont be using them again!

	Date of Stay: September, 2007
I was extremely impressed with this Hotel. I was more than overjoyed at the cleanliness and hospitality shown to me by the staff. I will definately recomend this Hotel to my friends.

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
The internet states beach front, this was not on he beach it was on some type of inlet - the pool had no water in it. A strange man that was staying in this hotel walked by our room more than 10 times in the hour that we were there-staring into room. The carpet was wet and musty smell, for mine and my 14 year old daughters safety, we got a room 40 minutes away from Norfolk.

	Date of Stay: April, 2008
This hotel was perfect for our getaway with our 2 1/2 year old. The beach and pool were steps away. The continental breakfast was good and made our mornings hassle-free to get us onto the beach sooner! I would definately recommend this property. Our room was newly renovated so it was clean and had a perfect view.

Date of Stay: August, 2007

We enjoyed the Best Western Holiday Sands Inn and Suites very much. Originally we were going to stay in the Virginia Beach area, but the difference in price tempted us to try the Chesapeake Bay area and we were so glad. It is calmer, quieter area and much more relaxing than VB, yet is only 7 miles away from it when we wanted to try a few of the nicer restaurants. We were pleased with our room, and loved having a balcony that faced the bay and a kitchenette for lunches. The sight from the balcony was especially nice at night when the piers on each side of the hotel was lighted up. The bathroom vanity was separate from the toilet and tub, which is a real plus when getting ready in the mornings. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The desk clerk even helped me print our boarding passes just before we left so we wouldn't have to wait in any airport lines. They had a beautiful outdoor swimming pool that was larger than most hotels and was well maintained. This hotel was undergoing a major renovation, however that did not affect our stay in any way. The only thing that the hotel did not have was an in the room safe, but we were told they were in the process of installing them as part of their renovation.

	Date of Stay: April, 2009
The complimentary breakfast, the king bed suites. No view of the bay.

	Date of Stay: November, 2007
The price was low. Staff was excellent. Free breakfast daily was very nice. Pool is outdoors and was closed. Indoor pools are much better. On the beach. No wireless Internet but you can use a CAT5 cable. TV made high pitch noise. Showers were very warm but not hot. Overall nice but not spectacular.

	Date of Stay: March, 2009
Location and price. I had no problems so I can't find anything to dislike.

	Date of Stay: March, 2009
The beds were lumpy, the room was very small, the hotel staff was not helpful. Awful, would never recommend this hotel to anyone!

	Date of Stay: February, 2009
The breakfast was good. The bathroom in our room had not been cleaned. There was hair in the sink and tub and dreied urine on the toilet seat.

Date of Stay: February, 2009

The location, directly on the beach, was wonderful. The hotel room was disgusting. The hotel room was dirty, surfaces barely wiped down, hair all over the bathroom, and visibly dirty linens. The room was supposed to have been non smoking, but was so clearly a smoking room. It reeked of smoke, and we smelled of smoke when we left the room, even after showers. There was so much noise as well, the walls were paper thin.

	Date of Stay: February, 2009
Nice location ,rooms well kept. The check in staff needs training.
