I’m giving this hotel 5 stars for its category. It is a small, quiet hotel. Older in style and character and charm. Each room is slanted giving more rooms a window view of the ocean. The kitchenettes are adequate and well supplied. More cookware can be borrowed from main office. The room service comes each morning to resupply your room with towels or needs. Everyone is polite. Bath shower combo. Tv is good, WiFi is good. Kids played Xbox online and didn’t complain of lag.
Pool. Very nice. Has a handicap lift if needed. The lounge chairs are so comfy. Lots of seating areas. Direct entrance to beach.
Lots of good breakfast restaurants within walking distance, CVS about 3 blocks away. A Publix less than 5 minute drive.
Dogs. I brought my pup. She did great. There is NO place for her to pee on property. Not a single blade of grass. She could see the neighbor hotels grass and tried to force her size 10 head thru the size 2 fence. But there is a small patch of grass about 20 feet to the left of the entrance and about a few yards further is a park that provides doggie bags for their waste. She developed the ability to get there quickly.
Daytona Beach is a no dogs beach. So is Daytona shores, apparently they give out tickets . We had to drive her30 minutes up A1A to Flagler Beach so she could play and run.
The rooms. 101,201, and 301 have best/closest beach view. 318 is close to elevator (noise) 317 is not but has a great ocean view. I stayed in 309. A decent view to sit and enjoy a drink while being in air conditioning. Also for us fair skinned people. There are several nice places to sit in shade while enjoying the beautiful views. We will Definitely look at this hotel again when coming back to Daytona!
