This is my 2nd stay this summer. The property has made a lot of major upgrades in the past year. I would like to see a little more lighting in the parking area.

Excellent value. Superior customer service, location and condition of the rooms and property. Exceptional property in more ways than one. The owners were very pleasant and hospitable. You can see the effort they put into their business. I’ll recommend this place to everyone.

Check in was nice and easy. Everyone incredibly nice on the property. Room was super clean and well kept. Parking lot is a bit small but efficient. Easy access to beach. If I had anything negative to say it would be that the beds are a bit stiff, but overall not bad at all! I definitely recommend staying here

I didn't get in until late at night and the front desk person met me right away - what a relief! Check in was about 60 seconds and I was parked an in bed within 15 minutes. The room was very clean, recently remodeled, and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again when passing through the VB area!

A cozy, dated (in a good way) throwback to the family-run beach motel. Perfectly comfortable and the prices are a throwback too!

Our stay.
Very quiet. It has a nice little sitting area outside of room. The room we stayed in needs a comfortable mattress. We will keep place in mind next time we visit this area and will recommend to others.

I have stayed here (alone) a couple of times in the last two years and my room is always spotless clean and feels very safe to me. I like the husband and wife owners (property manager and housekeeper). They are friendly and keep a close eye on the property which ensures that my belongings and car are safe when at the beach or visiting family. I stayed in room 110 this last time, a full bed versus the queen I had before, but was still just as comfortable and roomy as the queen rooms. It saved about $30 a night though and staying a week, that helped cover my meals. The Bay Inn will continue to be my 1st choice in Norfolk due to its proximity to family and the beach, the cleanliness of the property and it's reasonable price. I would highly recommend it for anyone traveling solo or for couples. FYI: They do not allow pets and are not a good fit for families needing more than one bed.

When you pull up it feels like a cool place by the beach. You come in and you’re met by a great guy that asks how your trip was to get there - hands you the keys with a smile and says to let him know if you need anything - not fancy but home feeling center courtyard with places to relax - room is homey, beach comfy - we’ll be back!

I stayed one night during the week. The hotel is an older property along a main street in a residential district, a block from the ocean and a couple of blocks from a shopping center. The property was quiet and well-maintained for its age. My room was recently renovated and was very clean. The management was attentive and went out of their way to provide me with a good experience. I would stay again and recommend to my friends.
