Magnuson Hotel Virginia Beach

I had to switch rooms 3 different times because one had roaches and the other one the bathroom ceiling fell in.. I was there over a month and I asked for clean towels and rags once a week and to have the room clean and no one would ever bring me anything back and when i complained they just stopped servicing me all together.. when i checked out they wouldn’t give me my deposit back even tho I washed everything!! They said the linen was stained so they were keeping my deposit.. she then had a attitude and hung up on me

I really like this hotel most of the staff are very friendly and understanding, they work with you.the rooms are clean, maintenance does there job and the two young ladies that work the front desk Marlo and Tiffany are awesome.... Keep up the good work ladies.....

My lady and I have hotel hopped around Norfolk, VA around the Janaf/Military Hwy/Northampton Area for the past 6 months. We've had good and not so good experiences at different hotels. So far the Magnuson has been a blessing. A hidden gem in plane view. The rooms are surprisingly clean with modern styling accents. It looks like an interior designer with a knack for affordable but elegant may have a future in the budget hotel space. I hope so at least. It's quiet the guests seem to be close knit for some reason. It's safe it's clean and it is not only affordable but the weekend prices don't gouge your already thin wallet/pockets. I'd give it a chance it's like a stay cation if you're local. Like you went to Florida real quick but just a conveniently difficult to access hang suite. My girl and I wanted to go on a date to the attached Asian cuisine restaurant Fuji Hana. The name sounds like a familiar already known household name. The kind everyone brags about but never gets to go to. Hopefully they find a good promotion squad for the restaurant. Let the hotel remain cheap and the two will be their own interchangeable success stories. The rest of the local businesses will benefit as well. Thank you to this location for being another place in Norfolk that I have felt safe to be a wacky creative person without feeling out of place. Get Will Ferrell and his son in a commercial or something Magnus, Magnuson... sells itself! Edit: The more deluxe rooms are way way nice. It gets a bit rougher near the front building but it could just have been our room. I think it could be them renovating from what it looks like. It still has a lot of promise. The staff was really nice and very attentive. They were very helpful and understanding beyond expectations. I hope to stay with them again sometime in the future and finally get to eat at the Fuji Hana restaurant to check it out.

Never left a review before but this place was absolutely disgusting. We booked a room through their website for the night of 8/3/24. The hotel itself and our room looked nothing at all like the pictures. The outside of the rooms are littered with garbage, beer bottles, old food, etc. The entire place was very sketchy and not at all what they advertise on the website. The inside of our room had not been cleaned at all, used soap and trash in the shower, hair and mildew in the sink, and literal cigarette ashes in the toilet (this was supposed to be a “no smoking” room). Room also reeked of cigarettes. There were also no blankets on the bed, just sheets?? And hand prints on the bed board. We left immediately and found a room at a nearby Hilton for almost the exact same price. The employee at the front told us to contact a supervisor regarding the state of our room and a refund. We call the next day and the employee who answered said that her “inspector” found nothing wrong with the room, and that they “took pictures”. Not sure what they took pictures of but when I told her about the pictures I had of the things listed above, she hung up. This only showed us that their idea of “clean” is extremely concerning. PLEASE look at this places reviews before booking here. The website is VERY misleading. (photos of the website picture and pictures from the actual room are attached)

For the price you can’t beat it! We checked in very late at night due to another hotel mishap and Miss banks was the lady who checked us in since it was so late she told us all about the security on stand by. The rooms were clean and everything was great! Very nice helpful staff!
