The rooms were not as seen on the internet. The King Suite was a full size dirty mattress, no heat, the curtains did not cover the windows, phone did not work, nasty towels and no hand towels, and the only mirror in the room was over the toilet. Of course you had to pay for the entire stay the day you checked in, and if I would have seen the room before we paid, I would have rather slept on the beach.
My boyfriend and I booked at room here for two nights over a weekend and we were so surprised! At 44 dollars a night (for a single, non smoking room), the value of the place was great! The room was newly remodeled and the bathrooms were really nice. Everything was clean and well kept. I would definitely recommend this for a quick stay. You only have to cross the street to the beach, and it's right near one of the beach ramps so that if you want to drive on the beach, that's an option too! The only other thing I would recommend is to bring your own pillows because the hotel only provides one per guest. Other than that this place is great!

Pleasantly surprised, our room was very clean, recently remodeled. Did not experience the horror stories in previous reviews. Front desk, at check in was very polite and helpful. The room attendants/maid were not overly friendly but did their job, although this is a no frills place, not the Ritz. Reminder that you are not paying for the Ritz either. The owners live on premise with their children and seem to be very nice. The showers are great older high pressure. The beach is just across the street. Great location. You can see the waves from the motel. Great place on a budget. Although if you do not have a cell phone, there were no phones in our room.

We stayed in a non-smoking double bed room there for three nights. It was a horrible experience. The room had no window and when we asked the receptionist, she said that is the case for all double bed rooms. The sheets seemed dirty although they were changed daily. The towels had lots of stains on them. The detergent they used had a very strong smell and the receptionists were not nice at all. The only good point was the location which was close to the beach. It was not quite cheap in comparison with the other available options. We could get a better room on Ocean resort walk (across the street) with the same price.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. I was a little nervous due to the previous reviews, but was pleasantly surprised when entering the room. It was clean and had a microwave and mini fridge. The television worked just fine as well. The pool is also huge and looked very clean. The hotel is directly across from public beach access. The only two complaints I have is no shampoo in the shower and the walk to Sea Breeze for the night clubs was a bit far in heels.but both ways we had cabs stop and give us a five dollar ride right away.

As soon as I pulled into the over crowded parking lot I knew I messed up. What a dump. If I thought the outside was bad the inside was worse. As soon I saw my room I handed in my key and left. The smell of the room hit you in the face when you open the door. The toilet still had urine and cigerette buts in it from the previous guest. This in a "non smoking room". The matress was disgusting. I would not let a dog sleep on it. Extremely dirty place.

This place was the worst motel I have ever seen! We unfortunately paid first, then climbed 3 stories to our room. If that is what you call it! The screens were out, the curtains were ripped and falling down, it stunk. We even looked at 2 other rooms and they were worse! Refused to give us a refund so we just cut our losses and left. Went down the road to a Super 8 paid $25 more and was right on the ocean. Don't ever go to this dump!

The rooms were clean, recently painted, and the bathroom was newly remodeled. Great location right across the street from the beach and close to the shopping strip! The housekeepers did clean the rooms daily but they did ask if anything was needed. Overall, a good experience! For the money it is as good as it gets! P.S. One of the house keepers does use a stolen shopping cart as a utility cart to clean with!

We have stayed there three times now. The s staff is super friendly and the rooms are clean. Can't beat the price and the location. Will stay there every trip we take. The staff has always been helpful and the pool is very clean. Would recommend to anyone going to Daytona on a budget
