We stayed at the last minute at the Atlantic Ocean Palms on the south end of Daytona Beach Shores. Don't get this confused with Ocean Palms that is farther north and a much higher building.
This is a two story motel with basic rooms. Tile floors that can be slick when wet, and beds and a bath. If you are expecting a full service hotel with hot breakfasts, toiletries, and other amenities, you will be disappointed. This is a BASIC MOTEL people. You know, room, bed, bathroom, sink, TV. It does have a refirgerator and a microwave (which was something the Hard Rock in Orlando didn't have) and comfortable beds. The room also has a small table and chairs. Again, BASIC!!!
Now the advantages. The pool has an 8 foot deep end and a shallow end. Nice!! Shuffleboard court, and a sitting porch with umbrellas. An outdoor shower to make sure you don't track all the sand in with you, which is an impossible feat. and a direct stairway to the beach. The beach is very nice, and is wide and beautiful. There isn't alot of shells on the beach, and the surf was nice too.
There is a gas grill up front, but we didn't use it. When we got there, my biggest fans were quite friendly.
