My wife and I just came back home after a stay of 15 nights at this hotel.
Tripadvisor credits it wit four stars. It has its strong points, that's true:
-Rates are reasonable
-Good infrastructure: spacious lounge and ground floor, 3 pools, whirlpool, fitness, well equiped studio, balcony overlooking the ocean, right on the beach...
-Without asking, we got an upgrade from "riverside" to "oceanfront".
-Nice and friendly cleaning persons who were efficient, quick and discrete.
-Very good matrass on the bed, important for us.
-Quiet hotel, important too.
Sorry, but a few minuses:
-Such a hotel, calling itself "conference center" doesn't provide an airport shuttle?
-Quite unhelpful staff at the reception, or incompetent? One girl even was rather unfriendly, except when we paid our bill checking out. Got the impression she didn't like Europeans.
-My wife caught two cockroaches in the bathroom. 4 stars and cockroaches?
-Huge hotel, but the only restaurant offers a very poor choice.
-The studio had carpet on the floor. It wasn't vacuumed once in the 16 days we were there, and there wasn't a vacuum cleaner available. Is this healthy? At the end, we sneezed a lot.
-No entertainment at all.
Conclusion: we don't want to complain, we felt good in general while we were there, but the truth has its rights.
- Daytona Beach Hotel
