There is a 7-11 around one block south of the hotel, immediately south of 40th street.

Thanks for the review, I usually go to VAB 2-3 times per year and always struggle with hotels, it's typically very tough for me to justify the price tag of the oceanfront properties. I have had a couple of friends stay at this hotel and it looks nice, but they have had service complaints and it's very expensive in peak season. The Sheraton used to be my go-to, they were always eager to upgrade to a 1BR suite in the SPG days, but I haven't stayed there in a few years and I just saw your review in that thread... seems it has gone way downhill which is a shame.
