The fun-spirited Alexandrian combines an upscale bohemian vibe with a great location in charming Old Town Alexandria. Property highlights include an indoor pool, modern fitness center, and a stylish Southern restaurant. For a similarly priced hotel that’s closer to the subway, try Lorien Hotel and Spa, 10 blocks west; unlike The Alexandrian, it has a full-service spa, but it lacks a pool.

The mid-range Barclay Towers Resort Hotel is a family-friendly beach destination occupying a convenient Virginia Beach location that's close to plenty of dining options. Its 138 suites are spacious, though lackluster in terms of decor, and have living rooms with sleeper sofas as well as dining areas and kitchens. All of the suites have oceanfront balconies, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. A handful of extras add value and convenience to a stay here, including an indoor pool and hot tub, a small fitness room, and free continental breakfast. For something with more features, compare rates with the BEST WESTERN PLUS Oceanfront Virginia Beach, which has a restaurant, bar, ice cream shop, and bigger fitness center -- but rooms here are a bit small.

This 141-room Hampton Inn sits in a group of other hotels right on the Virginia Beach boardwalk. The budget-friendly property offers what appears to be the standard in this part of town, including rooms with balconies that face the ocean, a free buffet breakfast, and an indoor pool. The hotel is a bit worn with bland, chain-like decor and rooms can get noise from the beach, but the on-site 11th St Taphouse Bar & Grille serves good food and has an outdoor patio on the boardwalk. Travelers might also want to check out the nearby Comfort Inn & Suites Oceanfront, which has similar amenities including a sunny pool area, and often lower rates, though no restaurant.

The two-pearl Schooner Inn is conveniently located for those who want to be based on the southern part of Virginia Beach's beach strip. Its location is slightly quieter than hotels built further north, while still being within an easy distance from most of Virginia Beach's attractions. The 89 guest rooms are a bit old-fashioned, though they include lovely views overlooking the boardwalk and beach. While there are no on-site dining facilities, rooms are mostly self-catering and there are several nearby restaurants and bars. Features are quite limited, but include an outdoor swimming pool, and beach umbrella, chair, and bicycle rentals. Freebies include on-site parking and Wi-Fi throughout the property. It's worth comparing rates at Barclay Towers Resort Hotel, for a fitness center, indoor swimming pool, hot tub, and breakfast facilities.

Situated next to the Regent University campus, the 240-room Founders Inn and Spa is an upper-middle-range property that blends colonial heritage with resort-style features. The perfectly manicured grounds are a highlight here, complete with a fenced in dog park, an outdoor pool, and spa. Rooms are traditionally elegant, with floral patterns, four-poster beds, antique furnishings, and modern appliances. The property is equipped with meeting and banquet space, plus an indoor pool and fitness center. This dog-friendly hotel is a good pick for events, business, or leisure travel, though the nearby Crowne Plaza Town Center has more lavish and modern rooms.

The 252-room Hilton Alexandria Old Town is an upscale chain property with above-average style, an impressive restaurant, and a great location in the heart of charming Old Town Alexandria. The rates are competitive for the area (and significantly less than in D.C.), but daily parking and Wi-Fi fees can add up fast. Rooms are spacious and modern with plush reading chairs, coffeemakers, and mini-fridges. Convenient on-site amenities include a fitness center, business center, and a full-service Starbucks. But the Lorien Hotel & Spa, right up the street, could offer a better value as it has lots of free perks and more in-room amenities.

The mid-range Courtyard by Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront/South has an excellent location on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk -- and each of its 141 guest rooms have furnished balconies with sweeping ocean views.

The 192-room Blue Cypress Hotel is a reliable and affordable budget option for families, school sports teams, and other groups who want to be within a 10-minute drive to the AT&T Stadium or Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. Despite being independently owned, the property has the look and features of a chain hotel. Common areas and rooms, though renovated, appear dated, but have mini-fridges and microwaves. There’s a well-equipped gym, the restaurant has decent food and entertainment, and there’s an outdoor and an indoor lap pool (the latter could use better ventilation). Freebies include a simple breakfast, parking, and (spotty) Wi-Fi. For slightly higher rates, the Holiday Inn Arlington has a fresher aesthetic, plus free shuttles to the airport and local attractions.
