Virginia Beach advice

My wife and I are planning a trip to Virginia Beach next month and had a few questions about the area. We are not bringing our camper for this trip so we will be staying in a hotel. We are looking for advice on the area, I can get a better deal on hotels in the central Virginia Beach as opposed to down near the ocean. Is anyone familiar with this area? Is staying down by the beach a must for this area? Any hotel recommendations? Thank you in advance

    Some of the Hotels even near the ocean arent extremely high.
    The Royal Clipper as an example. It is just a basic room but across Atlantic Av from the Ocean.
    If you are looking at Memorial Day weekend, the price skyrockets.

    If you are planning on spending anytime on the beach, then yes, a hotel on the beach is a must.
    You should take your camper and stay just north of Virginia Beach at the Cape Charles KOA. A really nice vacation spot.

    A lot of the motels in town are very basic and run down. If you plan on being at the beach a lot that might not matter. Personally, after going there several years, I would splurge on the ocean front high rises.

    I was looking at the Westin in central Virginia Beach. It looked nice. Also looked at the Hilton’s down near the beach. Not much availability.
