When I say it’s good to be back I mean it. For over 15 years my sister and I stayed here but, because of the change in owners and conditions of the room and pool, we had no choice but spend our last 3 vacations somewhere else. To say things were bad is being kind and having no air conditioner... More

My wife and I stayed here for a few nights and were pleased with our experience! We were aware that they were re-modeling, and decided to stay anyway. The room wasn't 5 star, but knowing that they are working towards something better, we could see the strides they've made to upgrade, and we're excited to go back sometime soon to... More

My girlfriend and I just stayed here recently and I would give it a 4.0 out 5. After reading all of the mixed reviews I was very iffy about staying here. After seeing how the management had responded to mostly all of the bad reviews, we decided to give it a chance and boy are we glad we did. We... More

I took my chances on this hotel as my original plans in Daytona Beach fell through at the last minute and rooms on the internet were scarce. There are many more hotels in Ormond that are not listed on the internet and most of them looked better than this place and posted less expensive prices. Don't fall for the pictures.... More

We sincerely regret your experience! We would have gladly refunded your money had you asked. We do not want anyone to stay here that does not want to be here. We have a great client base that are return guests. Many have been coming for as many as 30 years. Yes, the pool was drained for 5 days in January.... More

I stayed at the Driftwood many years ago and it is very different now. They have really cleaned it up a lot, new paint, new floor tile, etc. The internet is really good now, they just finished wiring everything new last night and it was like it used to be and then all of a sudden 5 bars and lightning...

Sorry for the loss of goods from other guests, but we stayed at a Hilton one time and one of our friends had their purse stolen.(it happens everywhere). We stayed in one of the... More

I am from a large family who has built unforgettable Daytona memories at the Driftwood for a decade. We have countless photos and videos of our children growing up here. It has always been a wonderful time. We have not been able to visit Daytona the past two summers, so we were really excited to return this year with 14... More

We, here at the Driftwood are sincerely regretful that we had a plumbing emergency that shut down the floor your rooms were reserved for. Such emergencies are unavoidable and regretful. The motel is under new ownership and new management. We have been working diligently to upgrade the motel. We have installed new tile floors, painted and textured ceilings, updated light... More

Worst place ever! Would rather sleep in a tent. The pictures are lying! Ugly room, no cleaning, everything was rusty, bad smell, bed bugs, dirty, destroyed bathroom window, dirty water on the "balcony", the soap was taken from a Radisson hotel! I mean WTF! There was no battery in the secuity box so we told the lady cleaning about it.... More

If you are a 5 star, luxury class Hotel goer this is not the place for you. But if you like cheap ocean front balcony with two beds and a kitchenette with a beach bum style, then you will love this place. I prefer this cheaper/hostel type vacation because you get simplicity, no hassles, and you can watch and hear... More

This 1950's motel felt as if I was staying in a 1950's motorhome. When we arrived we had found 2 cockroaches ( 1 was alive ) in the kitchen and bathroom, room smelled extremely musty and the entrance into the room was literally 1foot away from the bed, which was very strange and felt unsafe. The room was fairly clean,... More
