my husband and i planned a trip to daytona bike week....we wanted to stay out of the area so we wouldn't have to deal with all the traffic....since i grew up in florida, i wanted him to enjoy A1A as much as i always did.....we found european village on expedia.com and booked a room through them....we liked the pictures it gave us and even when we looked at other websites, we still were very impressed with it....so when vacation came around----we had a hard time finding it, the address was not the same and someone kept calling us from the office starting 4 hours before we even arrived wanting to know what our arrival time would be....we weren't for sure, so we told them that...they wanted to get out of the office, but they would wait until we got there...they called three more times....then we arrived, and we noticed a couple of cars in the parking lot....no one around, it was about 3 pm....we went to the nearest vendor that was on the piazza and asked them where we checked in at?..they said they had no idea what we were talking about....we walked around for 20mins until we found the 'real estate' office on the opposite side of where we parked at....a guy was inside and was very short with us, like he was ready to leave and he was waiting on us....we told him we were confused on all of this....the stores were mostly closed, no people walking around, the fountain was empty and the projector screen was ripped all to shreds....it looked deserted!....he told us he or no one would be in the office and if we needed anything to call his cell phone and he would try to make it in.....after the anxiety left and we slept one night there, we became relaxed....the room was wonderful, the soaking tub was well used, the bed was awesome....overall, we would never stay here again and won't ever tell anyone to book a room there.....
the day we were traveling down there, we called and asked a lady about the pool that is pictured online and they told us they didn't have a pool....they said 'we are just across from the beach, we don't need a pool here'....so we thought we could see the ocean from our room maybe or walk to the water..??? NOPE!...not even close!...there's no recreational area, no gym.....you have to park in the only lot they have and our room was on the complete other side, so we couldn't watch our motorcycle, trailer, or vehicle....
and we stayed a week here!
