This is the worst motel I have ever stayed in. I can't even get the door open because the key wont turn all the way. The cold water on the tub is broken, and they did nothing to fix it when we called. This janky place is over priced for such terrible service. Don't waste your money, book a real hotel.

I read the reviews and it wasn't AS BAD as some of the reviews. After riding around for an hour and everything being booked, we stayed here. My only con is, it's too dang dark in the rooms. Makes you feel, there's something to hide. No wifi. The pool was cool. Staff was friendly. If there were other choices, we would have taken but it was alright....

I came here for a week long family vacation. Let me just say this place was awful!!! I don't know how this place gets any reviews that are over 1 star. First of all you make think it's a cheap hotel but it's really not, you can find closer hotels to the beach that are cheaper. You have to walk across two highways (maybe more)before you get to the beach. The first night as we were getting settled in and unpacked, we came across cockroaches! we immediately went to the front desk to get a room change, they moved us about 3 rooms down. there were no cockroaches in the other room however there were still bugs! so of course we were grossed out and complained. we received about a $30 refund for the whole weeks trip. As we looked out one of the bedroom windows it was behind the hotel and there were mattresses outside. One of the nights our toilet clogged and we had to go to the desk to get a gross plunger. The hotel is very dirty , expensive and inconvenient , I do not recommend.

We knew when we got there that the place was not 5 star however when we entered in the front desk clerk was very rude and tried to tell us that it would be close to $500 for one room 3 adults 1 child, and another room was only about $30 different for only two adults to stay there in another room. There was trash, drug addicts, prostitutes, and homeless everywhere. In 2013 this was probably a nice place to stay very affordable however it is horrible place in Virginia Beach do not stay there, you will be very disappointed in 2014.

Stayed five nights during July, 2013. Efficiency apartment was clean and well maintained. Ample Parking, spotless pool and friendly and pleasant office staff. Minute walk to the tourist strip. Can't beat it for the price! For travels on a budget, this is the place!

The room my husband and I were in was very clean. There were no roaches or any other type of bugs and the beds, bathroom and kitchenette clean. The price is reasonable. I must admit, after reading other peoples comments, I was leary, however, you just have to check it out for yourself, in which we did and was pleased. We went there for my birthday at the end of this past June, stayed for three nights and we had a wonderful time. One block away from the beach, everything was in walking distance and we never had to move our car. All I can say is, "try it for yourself." You won't be disappointed, I will come back again and again. Also, the staff was polite and very friendly. Thank you MacThrift Motor Inn for a wonderful stay.

Do yourself a favor and drive on by this dump. I honestly can't believe the city of VB allows this dump to operate ! Shame on you city officials for letting this type of thing go on with your visitors. This place was in one word was....atrocious!!!!! We rented the room for two nights, after actually seeing this room we asked for a refund, we paid in cash and the old lady at the desk refused.....we asked who owned the place and she became very irritated and elusive in her answer. I'm contacting VB BBC and tourism office about this.....We are forever soured on VB because of this experience. Can't believe this joint could ever pass a health or safety inspection !
