If you smoke marijuana, you’ll fit right in. Can’t even sit on the balcony which is not private, without smelling it. TV didn’t work. No parking, we were told we can park two streets across from there, at their sister hotel the Streamline. Ice machine in the office. Very over priced. The beds are very small, and hard. The steps are steep. No elevator. On a positive note it is on the beach and parking is free.

Wear shoes or sandals inside the room or your feet will get dirty.
No continental breakfast.
Cobwebs in the corners and window seals.
Paint and sheetrock joints cracked in the bathroom.
Great access to beach. Hotel is right on the beach. Shower and foot rinse station as you leave the beach.
Pool was a good size.
Parking lot is very small.

Great location, nice pool, staff weren’t too helpful, the beds were hard and only had two sheets for blankets on top but it was warm. and their ice machine was broken. We had no towels or cups for the coffee machine but other than that we had a great stay. For the price and the location it’s a great weekend spot with or without the kids. The two room family rooms are a good size and beach front with a nice patio area and lawn. They have picnic tables and bar b q grills as well which is nice.

it is a budget motel right on the beach, so I did not expect a 5 star experience. It met our needs, but I won't book them again. The parking is a nightmare. You may or may not get a free motel parking spot. (paid parking across the street). For a non smoking motel ...there sure was a lot of smoke wafting through the air. If you step outside of your room, you are punched in the nose by the weed smell (the stinky weed). Down by the pool it was strong , too. If those things do not bother you, it is a good bargain. The room was clean. The bathroom was clean...the tub is obviously old, but if you are only standing in it...no problem.

Internet was not working and we did not have any access code. Thankfully the staff was nice. But this hotel needs some fresh air as the odor in the room was horrible.

The hotel’s location was fantastic — just off the main beach road yet still right on the beach. You can’t beat the view or convenience. Unfortunately, the quality of the rooms was disappointing. The floors looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in ages, the shower walls were slimy, and the wooden floors were buckling from water damage. The TV didn’t work for regular cable channels, so we had to buy a streaming stick just to watch something.
There’s no daily cleaning or maid service, which might be fine for some, but it adds to the rundown feel. On the bright side, the price was great — especially during Daytona 500 weekend, when most hotels were charging way more.
Overall, it’s a good budget-friendly option if you’re mainly after location and cost savings. But if you want a clean, comfortable room and basic hotel amenities, you’ll want to stay elsewhere.

Check in was easy, staff was friendly. We stayed here for Biketober fest and it was packed. Definitely not a place you want to stay during an event if you want to get to bed early as many guests stayed up very late partying and the walls are very thin. Being it was packed for the event, parking was an absolute nightmare. The location is great, it’s off the main road on its own service type road. It’s also a very short walk to main st, the pier and many stores. The room seemed clean, but very outdated and had a moisture issue (something you’d expect at a beach hotel anyways). Our room had a tub/shower combo, the pull to use the shower part was broken and would not fully engage so water pressure was absolutely terrible, but it worked for our needs for a short period of time. In a pinch, we’d stay here again but definitely not our first pick.

Bathroom had window that could be seen through to outside walkway. No fan in bathroom, so room stayed humid. No blackout curtains so you can’t sleep past 6:30am. A spindle was missing on outside balcony 2nd floor - a child could EASILY fit through (staff notified). Roach under bed, along with a used coffee cup. Room was not thoroughly cleaned.

There is not enough parking so you have to park away from your room. They even gave us a roll of tissue that had mildew on it. There was no direct beach access except for the \"beachfront rooms\" you had to walk around the building to the public beach walkway. For the $231 a night i paid for this place it was definitely not at all worth it. Did i mention the people sleeping on the beach next to it.

Parking lot was basically a party zone after dark. “Breakfast’ was prepackaged pastries and the juice and milk in the lobby mini fridge was room temp as the fridge didn’t seem on.

First, it is a dump, with the room reeking of mold that even blackens the bathroom grouting. But, my main issue was with its management. Our reservation was non-cancelable and was made through Expedia for payment at the end of our stay. Yet, hours before we left for Daytona Beach I received a call from someone calling from the front desk on “the owner’s instruction” demanding that I give him my credit card number so that he could immediately charge it for our stay there. He threatened to cancel the reservation if I did not give him the card number. This call had all the markings of a credit card scam, since no reputable hotel does such a thing. After telling him that I would call him back, I called the hotel’s phone number. It turned out not to be a credit card scam, for the same person answered the phone. Thus, despite this outrage, I gave him the card number. Perhaps the owner feared that when we saw the room, we would cancel and leave.
When we arrived at Sandals hours later, the check-in person requested to make a copy of my drivers license (what hotel does this?) She also insisted that we sign their list of rules and charged our credit card another $100 as a security deposit. After taking our license plate number, she gave us a small piece of paper for our windshield when parking IN THEIR OWN LOT. If it wasn’t displayed, they would have our car towed even though they could easily identify it as belonging to a guest from the license plate.
