Loved The Bay. It’s across the street from the beach in a cute residential area with restaurants wihin walking distance. The folks running it are super friendly and we enjoyed meeting their dog. Although It’s an older motel, It’s completely renovated and well cared for. The bed was comfy and the room had a microwave and refrigerator with a small freezer. We plan to return next year for the same event.

The Bay Inn was just what I expected, very clean and comfortable, with the amenities I needed, such as a microwave and fridge. It was very clean and the little courtyard is charming. My only wish is for window shades that open from the top instead of side to side, so that I could have enjoyed the courtyard more easily from my room without having my curtains wide open. But I will definitely stay there again when I am visiting my family nearby.

Needed a low cost overnight stay while attending the NAS Oceana air show and selected The Bay Inn based on cost and the positive reviews. Also considered the negative reviews and was impressed by the response of the owner - both the willingness to respond and the content of the response. This is quiet, no-frills lodging. the room was clean and neat. Offered the necessary amenities of wi-fi, TV and toiletries. Saw many complaints about the bed, ours was perfect. If you are seeking a quiet, family oriented place to stay with beach access (across the street), then The Bay Inn would be a great low cost choice. It is our new go-to when staying overnight in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area.
