Can anyone recommend a decent hotel in the Virginia Beach area for the upcoming 14.1 Championships

[Kevin Lindstrom]

Looking to attend this year's 2022 14.1 Championship at Q-Master Billiards in Virginia Beach, VA.

Anyone have good hotel experiences in that area they would recommend.

Also any hotels to steer clear of as well.

On a different subject any eateries you would recommend outside of chain restaurants.

Thanks

Hi Kevin,

I don't have a hotel recommendation, but if you like upscale diner fare check out Citrus. Very popular, so I would avoid weekend brunch times, but well worth a visit!

There’s a Garden Inn 3 miles north. In that complex there’s Cheesecake Factory, Bravo’s, and a bunch more. Great area.
I was there for a 1P tournament

Q Master has a great tournament room, the front tables are Blue labels and the rest are reds that play pretty well.

I visited Q-Masters once and the surrounding area seemed very safe so you shouldn't have anything to worry about. I would try to find a hotel as close as possible to the venue. At the time, I was staying about 20 minutes away on the beachfront.

The tournament's website has a recommended hotel. It's close to Q-Master -- like a five minute walk. It seems like a very good rate. $89, plus tax it is $105/night.

The hotel is the same parent company as the Sheraton where the International Open is, in case you collect loyalty points.

Another option is the La Quinta -- also a short walk from Q-Master. I stayed there once and it was fine.

Related to which, this is off-season for the area, so if you have a car you might get a good deal in the tourist area by the beach. I did that one year and got a hotel on the beach with a view at a very good rate. That was the year that Superstorm Sandy passed by at the end of the US Open. It was an experience.

When I went last year I stayed at the Marriott Courtyard, VA Beach.

It's about a five minute drive from the PR and was nice. If you don't have car your eating options are very limited within the immediate area. One evening I drove down to the beach and ate at an Italian joint on the water -- Il Giardino, a *very* nice place.

I would avoid the direct beachfront hotels in VA. beach- it has become more and more rundown with a lot of homeless roaming the side streets there and often very noisy on the boardwalk at night. if you like Chinese, Judy's Sichuan is the best Chinese in the state of Va. - all the Chinese people eat there.

One of the best restaurants in the area is https://www.cafeeuropava.com/ in Portsmouth, not a bad drive

Google says it is only about 7 miles from Q-Master Billiards to the Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel. So you could stay at the Sheraton, drive a few miles each day for the 14.1, and then be all set for the International Open starting right after the 14.1. [But I'm guessing you don't plan on attending the International.]

HOTEL​

SpringHill Suites
6350 Newtown Rd.
Norfolk, VA 23502
(757) 333-3100
$89 + tax
incl. breakfast
Must reserve by 10/14/22

Q-Masters' food isn't too bad, either, but certainly not gourmet.
If you plan to attend the International Open, then check out the Sheraton Waterside Hotel in Norfolk, about a 15-20 minute drive from Q-Masters.
Not sure if there are still rooms available.

It is a quick drive -- mostly on interstate -- and I have stayed for the tournaments both ways. The Sheraton area has much better walkable eating options. If you reserve through the International Open site/code it's $139 a night including taxes. I think parking is an additional $7/day with in/out privileges. (I'm not sure whether the deal covers the first days of the 14.1.)

I'm staying at the Springhill through the end of the 14.1 and then moving to the Sheraton this year.

I'm also looking to attend.

Does single-elimination play start on Thursday, October 27?
What's the start time each of those days, 11am?
How many matches are left for the final Saturday? Two semis and the final? Are the semis played one after the other, or at the same time?

Thank you and thanks to Peter Burrows and all who have made this event possible for so many years.

Wish I could, moved away from there in '88. They were going through a period of Builder's Diarrhea,
literally crappin' homes and buildings all over the place. Some homes were so close to each other ya
couldn't run a 20" lawnmower between'em. But, overall, still a nice place, for a tourist trap.
