In need of serious updates throughout interior rooms and exterior. Could be a gem with some fresh updated paint, new light fixtures and appliances. Seawall reconstruction incomplete. Ongoing noise M-F from construction equipment. No direct beach access. New manager John very friendly and accommodating.

The hotel is in the process of repairing the back wall and steps. The beach ramp is just a short walk away, still convenient. The room was clean, well stocked with towels, paper supplies etc and staff was friendly and all very helpful.

Enjoyed our stay
We really enjoyed our stay here. When we checked in we were upgraded to a beach front room from beach view at no extra charge. (Not sure if there should have been but probably or I would have booked a beach front.) Unfortunately, due to the hurricanes last fall we could not access the beach directly from there but we were instructed to go up a hotel and we could use their stairs. There was not daily maid service which was ok with us. Someone came in once to empty our garbage. The kitchenette area was sufficient. Everything we needed was there. Every time we saw the gentleman running it (sorry, I don't think I ever got his name.) he asked if we needed anything. He was very accommodating. Daytona was an easy place to get around and had lots of good eating places.

ITS A DUMP
It’s a dump! Paint peeling from the ceiling,portable dehumidifier making so much noise we had to turn it off. No direct line to front desk. Need to use our cellphones. The minute we walked into our room it had a musty odor. It was so bad we left after one night and didn’t ask for a refund for the next two night.

Great location, had parking, communicative staff made late night check in a breeze. Cute room, could be a little cleaner and just a little worn out and dated. Perfect for after a long day at the beach. Great place for the price.

The property was on the beach; Staff was was nice; quiet, easy walk to Hard Rock; clean; property needs attention; Hurricane that came through Daytona did damage, however, that was 2 years ago. Outside lights needs attention! Should fix the steps to the beach.

The room was supposed to be a ocean view, it was a view of the massive staircase, also was supposed to have a queen pullout bed Not! They offered a blowup mattress! I asked if they had a better room and the next one smelled like Marijuana, not to mention the sliding glass door was so covered wrh sea salt you couldn't see out or open it. Now im fighting with them for a refund.

Hi Michael, we do not advertise a pullout bed but we do offer the blowup as you mentioned. Sorry that wasn't clear. Daytona is known for its salty air, we do our best to keep the ocean front windows clean! It is a constant effort. Sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us.

With them just having the hurricane in oct it’s a nice place. We was in room 400 and it’s cute and clean. The bedroom with the balcony needs a new bed and frame. Wonderful view and bathtub. They are redoing and it’s coming along. Quite and a great place for familys. Look forward to coming back soon.

check in was a bit confusing, office was closed with phone # to call, staff was not very pleasant. room was much more spacious than expected. due to hurricane damage, there was no beach access from facility. Since we were staying only one night, this was not an issue. **** this hotel charged a SERVICE FEE for using Hotel.com

They lied when i called the property direct to ask about post-hurricane property damage prior to booking my reservation. I asked about the pool and beach access. Was told all was fine except for "parking lot damage." In truth, their stairway to the beach was destroyed. To get to the beach, we had to walk blocks away or pay $20 each time we wanted to drive our car on the beach, which we did twice. Also, there was a pile of old furniture in the parking lot. Trashy! There was blue colored glass shards all over the bottom of the pool. Their "pet friendly" policy is hardly that. Nowhere to walk your dog at except a nasty vacant lot on the other side of the property that is strewn with wires and trash. Their policy states you can leave your pet unattended on the room. That is not realistic at all. The Manager is terrible! Wouldnt offer any assistance other than to say to email Coastal Properties. There is no one at the front desk from 5pm until 9 or 10am the next morning. There was neligerent guests who played guitar loudly for several hrs. We were woken up by homeless women yelling in the parking lot at 2am. We think they were going through cars in the parking lot. No security at all. And to top it all off...a maid entered our room even though we had a "Do not disturb" sign on our door!! We were napping in bed! When my husband complained to Pat, the "manager," she yelled at HIM!! This was my 5th year vacationing in the area. It was my worst - by far - hotel experience EVER.

High price for little result
I think theyre just taking advantage of events happening and not doing the upkeep of the rooms, at least on the ground floor. Mattresses are well beyond du for replacement, shower & bath dirty, doors not washed, no curtains in big front window so sun comes in early, needs all around repairs

For paying the same amount as the Hilton next door you would think at minimal you would at least receive good customer service. -The lady at the front desk who lives on property does not want to be bothered at all. Day one I put it off as maybe she had a bad day, just ignore the rudeness. Day two the same. No greeting, just stares. God forbid you ask for something she makes you feel stupid for asking.

needs some work but is ok
All in all it was a good trip but the hotel needs some work. I am not referring to any storm damage but upkeep. The shower drained real slow letting water build up in the tub, the toilet seat was loose and needed tightening and the entrance door the dead bolt lock did not work and the upper safety lock was missing. We have stayed here before and it was much better kept. Some work is needed

The property has many faults with it. The room at first seemed ok. We had a check in at approximately 6:30. We went out for some dinner and returned to the room. I had taken my shoes off and was walking in the room. I then looked at the bottom of my feet and they were black. It looks like the floor had not seen a mop in a Long time. The sink handle came off in the hand. We had a few roaches one dead and one alive. Entering the room there was no light switch so if you came in after sunset you came into a dark room, not safe. I would Never stay here again.
