The location and view were great. No need to drive anywhere. The farmer's market is next door for instance. The room was clean, albeit tired, overall amenities were a bit spartan. The location is a double-sword. People like to hang out on the beach all hours of the night making noise. If they're not on the beach, they're revving their engines and/or playing loud music, pea-cocking it and cruising town. A Harley with no mufflers rode past on 05/17/26 @ 0120 hrs setting off my truck's factory alarm parked out front. The Sheriff needs to google, "broken windows theory" and go to work.

Our first time here in Yorktown & the Yorktown Beach Hotel made the stay perfect. A true diamond in a hidden gem of a place to visit. Beautiful location, quiet room & views of the river/inlet spectacular. The owner, staff are amazing. We had the best stay & visit and hopefully will return in the future. We highly recommend staying at the Yorktown Beach Hotel, you will love the experience. Thanks Matt, Ryan & everyone there.

When I made the reservation, it was not made clear that we would be in a separate building. The check-in person was very friendly. He said something about breakfast but I didn't catch what he said. There was no guest guide to tell us about breakfast, check-out time, TV channels, etc. The room was nice enough but not worth what we paid for a Tuesday night in early May.

If you are looking for a classic beach hotel then this is a one of a kind find. It was the perfect location for us to visit our son who is currently stationed in York Town with the Coast Guard. It was in walking distance to every thing in York Town. The views of the river were amazing. The service was great. We arrived a few hours before check in and our room was ready to go. Every employee we encountered at the hotel was very nice and helpful. I gave the rooms 4 stars because the beds in the double rooms were just a little smaller than we liked and the room had an extremely strong bleach smell when we arrive and had to keep the patio door open for a few hours….but the room was clean and tidy and house keeping had taken care of our room but the time we got done exploring on Saturday. Over all very pleased with our stay!!!

Yorktown Beach Hotel was great! Easy beach access and a beatiful, historic town thats provides intrigue for any history buffs! The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend, my trip was relaxing and stress-free. Will definitely stay here again in the future!

When I stepped out of my car, a staff member — who I later learned is part of ownership — immediately asked if I was a guest and told me I needed to leave or the sheriff would be called. I felt unsafe during the interaction. When I returned with a sheriff to clarify the situation, the interaction with ownership felt unprofessional and unwelcoming. The way I was treated suggested bias and discriminatory behavior. I will not be returning and would caution others to be aware of the treatment you may receive here. I’m unable to respond so here’s my response: My concern was never about parking policy. It was about the manner in which the policy was enforced. I exited my vehicle briefly, complied immediately when addressed, and was still rushed to leave and threatened with law enforcement. Being questioned about whether I “belonged” and having the situation escalated felt unnecessary and discriminatory. I hope future interactions are handled more respectfully and without intimidation.

We had an excellent stay at Yorktown Beach Hotel! The location is unbeatable—right by the beach and close to shops, restaurants, and local attractions. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making it easy to relax and enjoy the trip. The staff was friendly, professional, and always willing to help with anything we needed, which really made the experience stand out. Everything from check-in to check-out was smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a great place to stay near the beach with great service and convenience, I highly recommend Yorktown Beach Hotel. We’ll definitely be back!

Several members of my family and staff had planned to make a trip for the Christmas festivities. Due to incoming inclement weather, a phone call was placed one hour after the 72 hour cutoff imposed by the owner Matt. Matt is impossible to get on the phone and will only respond via email. You are directed to a gentleman named Ryan at the front desk. Who’s condescending tone and habit of talking over the customer while they are trying to communicate is pretty remarkable. We can appreciate a small business and we can appreciate changing conditions, but there was a total of 10 people in the entire party that had planned to make the trip and bought these rooms well over a month in advance. Our only request was not a refund or a cancellation, but just a credit to stay at the facility even on another weekend that didn’t have Christmas festivities as a credit. Ryan was fairly rude in expressing that there is no leniency and no cancellation no exceptions inside that 72 hour window regardless of absolutely anything in the world. So, with that being said, every single member of our party will be drafting a review of their experience. None of them will be attending, and we sincerely hope that the owner enjoys the money for the rooms because it would go against every principal to visit the facility now. One of the members of our party has been coming to the hotel for 40 years. It’s really a shame, and we love to support small businesses, but sadly the Yorktown Beach Motel will never get another dime out of any of us and I would caution any potential customers to really think it through before booking. An inability to pleasantly communicate, and an unwillingness to work with long-term customers are not qualities I would choose to do business with again. Just be aware of the fine print because they will not deviate no matter what the circumstances on season or off.

This was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. First, the room was smelly, moldy and looked like I had been updated since the 70’s.! On top that, we had to kill two roaches and the mattresses were old with broken springs. Two beds! Both bad! Lucky for us we were back on the road the next morning and this was just a stop on our long trip to NY. Overpriced! Just because you’re on the beach doesn’t mean you should charge over 200 for a crappy room! I was very disappointed. ??

My wife and I stayed here for the weekend. It was wonderful! We had the opportunity to meet Matt the owner and talk with him for a while. He told us how they were remodeling the hotel and that all the rooms were getting a makeover. If your looking for a nice peaceful getaway for the weekend, look them up!
