We got exactly what we expectedโand thatโs a good thing. We knew going in that this was one of the older properties in Daytona, and that was perfectly fine with us. We donโt need luxury when all weโre looking for is a clean, safe, and affordable place to bathe and sleep.
The room met those expectations. It was clean, just steps from the beach, and the pool was well-maintained. Housekeeping came daily, which was a nice touch and the staff washed down all outside areas each evening.
We did run into an issue with the AC unit on our first night, but the front desk staff handled it impressively. They responded quickly and replaced it with a brand-new unit, which made the rest of our stay comfortably frigidโjust how we like it!
The only downside wasnโt really the hotelโs fault: there was a noticeable smell of marijuana around the property at times, which wasnโt ideal for our family with small kids. It seemed to be more about the guests than the management.
Overall, we had a great stay and definitely plan to return. If you're looking for a no-frills beachfront spot with responsive staff and solid amenities, this place delivers.
