We have stayed at the Springhill and enjoyed it very much. Due to illness we have walking difficulties. Can anyone suggest an hotel on Beach Street with an outdoor pool and easier parking? Thanks.

More hotel questions

These hotels have an outdoor pool:

Ocean Beach Club -- they have valet parking, so that tells me the lot must be across the road or down a ways. Is that ';easier'; for you or worse?

Courtyard by Marriott North - valet parking

Hilton Oceanfront -- valet parking

Sheraton -- valet parking

Holiday Inn Sunspree -- valet parking

Ocean Suites -- free onsite parking

Quality Inn %26amp; Suites Oceanfront -- onsite parking

There are some others, but the reviews are iffy. If you wish, I can list them as well.

Do you mean like all parking in a parking lot on street level? I%26#39;m familiar with the levels of parking at Springhill Suites and that one needs to go to the first level to enter the hotel.

If all parking were on one level it would need to be a tremendous oceanfront lot and not a good use of space so some hotels have decks on site, some decks across the street. I%26#39;m thinking of some that have onsite street level parking but if you take the car out instead of walking to nearby places you run the risk of the onsite lots being full on your return and then needing to use the nearby municipal parking, say a block or so away.

So I%26#39;m wondering if your safest bet would be to look into the places with valet parking? At Ramada on the Beach...with decks across the street....it%26#39;s free but we tip. Can%26#39;t remember exactly about the others.

If you%26#39;d like that then take a look at vbhma.com and click on %26#39;accomodations%26#39; and then check %26#39;valet parking%26#39;

What are your thoughts?

We%26#39;re so enthusiastic here we both responded about the same time:)

2 minds with but a single thought :-)

We stayed at the Ocean Beach Club last summer and loved it. The parking garage is across the street to the rear of Pie Pizzeria.They do have valet parking and a great outdoor pool area that has entertainment at night also. We didn%26#39;t use the valet last year, so I%26#39;m not sure if is free and a tip , or if there is a charge.Their phone number is (757) 213-0601.

Good luck, Andy

Comfort in AT the Beach has an outdoor pool and on site garage parking with elevator access on each level. They are also right next to a wooden walkway leading right to the ocean so that you don%26#39;t have to walk through the sand. They are also right next door to the 24th street park so entertainment is just steps away.

I also have difficulty walking due to severe arthritis in my right knee.

Comfort Inn at the beach used to be station one before it was totally renovated. I have stayed at Station One every year for the past 13 or so years.

Thanks to LeisaRN for mentioning the Comfort Inn. My in-laws stayed there when it was Station One and really liked it. And yes, the parking garage is onsite.

Good thought Lisa. I%26#39;ve always thought those were a great idea. They%26#39;re at 8th, 17th, 24th and 30th Streets.

I started a ... what used to be called Insider Page...now I think ';article'; re Travelers With Disabilities. Lisa, Unassuming, anyone please add/edit it as you find info. Click on ';Before You Go'; along the left margin here. You will see Traveler Articles (at the top of today%26#39;s page) and click on ';Travelers with Disabilities';. You%26#39;ll see it was started in %26#39;06 when they were calling people %26#39;guest%26#39;. Then Glyph edited but took out some items that would be handy for people with any disability to know. I think Glyph thought he/she was editing a general review instead of something this specific. I think I put a lot of it back in eventually when I noticed this with a comment (like how significant it is for people with disabilities to have valet parking)

Do add more based on your experiences. You%26#39;ll see the little ';edit'; box in the review. Personally I think it%26#39;s very significant if one finds particular hotels that fit the bill...also, since one disability can be very different than another. So mention ease/lack of ease at hotels/restaurants, etc.

Another good thing about Comfort Inn at the beach, especially for those who have difficulty walking very far, is that they are next to the visitor%26#39;s information kiosk where a lot of the tours are picked up by buses in the mornings.

Also, make sure you purchase a Wave pass to ride the trolleys. You can get on and off unlimited times with a day, 3 day or 5 day pass. There are stops just about every block or two. There is a little vending machine right outside the kiosk at 24th street (not sure if you can get them at the kiosk or not).
