Four waterfront outlooks.
One easier way to choose.
The Schooner Inn sits on Virginia Beach’s south end, with views toward the Boardwalk, Rudee Inlet, the extra-wide beach, and the Atlantic Ocean. Its no-resort-fee promise and direct contact are strong foundations; this concept refreshes the dated digital layer around the stay.

Priority findings and recommended moves
- FINDING 01The live footer still carries a 2015 copyrightObservation: the current hotel page ends with “Copyright © 2015 All right reserved.” Business impact: a dated footer signals that the digital experience may not reflect the current property or booking expectations.Recommended move: Use maintained site metadata and a current property story that reflects today’s rooms, policies, and guest experience.
- FINDING 02A room page is still dated November 2017Observation: the Kitchenbette Deluxe smaller page displays “Date: November 13, 2017” and the title contains the typo “Kitchenbette.” Business impact: a room decision page that looks like an old blog entry weakens confidence at the point of comparison.Recommended move: Convert room entries into current, descriptive accommodation pages with accurate names, details, and availability actions.
- FINDING 03The booking CTA is a generic external handoffObservation: the page repeatedly asks guests to “Click here” to book through the external Reseze engine or call a toll-free number. Business impact: the guest receives little room-specific context before leaving the property story for a transaction.Recommended move: Give each room type a clear best-fit summary and carry the no-resort-fee value into the booking handoff.
- FINDING 04The property story is compressed into boilerplateObservation: the page describes the hotel as having “many amenities” before listing the south-end, inlet, Boardwalk, beach, and Atlantic setting. Business impact: the rare geographic advantage is buried in generic copy instead of doing the selling.Recommended move: Lead with the south-end setting and show the four waterfront outlooks as a reason to choose the stay.
