Will NEVER return
Pros:

The breakfast that you ate forced to purchase because there is no continental is NOT worth the money.

Cons:

Having to pay $8 for parking at the hotel, you are staying at is absolutely ridiculous.The pillows were horrible and uncomfortable, and there were actually 4 bed bugs In the bed, (I took pictures) You are forced to purchase a breakfast package Because there is no continental breakfast And this entire hotel Smells like marijuana

Absolutely pathetic
Pros:

Do not stay here. We had multiple problems. Our first room had an ant infestation. They came in and sprayed a bunch of bleach and me and my six-year-old had to move rooms at 8 o’clock at night. The second room had roaches. I have contacted the general manager and booking directly, and they both refuse to refund my $145 . We did not stay the night and ended up driving home an hour and a half in the rain.

Cons:

We arrived a couple hours early and we’re not allowed to park or use the pool until the room was ready which is unlike any other hotel I’ve stayed at in Daytona.

The restaurant and the front desk said the restaurant was open till 10. It closed at seven. The garden bed outside of my room was full of cigarette butts like an ashtray and this is supposed to be a non-smoking hotel.

My first room was supposed to be an ocean view and you could not see the ocean

That placed place. Is there for your money? They don't give a s*** about the people who stay there
Pros:

I liked it that it was on the beach side. But that's about it

Cons:

What I did not like was the showers were not clean inside the hotel. The staff at the front office were snoody as hell.
Their plan were set to get money out of you. No matter what the f*** y** did. There was a two hundred dollar cleaning fee if you were smoking and vaping outside in the parking lot or even out on the balcony, which was outside the room. They take a deposit from you for the room, which is a $100 after ive payed for my room online. Just to park in the parking lot you had to pay a $8 parking fee plus a $100 deposit just for parkin
Which we never got back, and they told me it was gonna be refundable. They had no smoking areas for any people who smoked. They did not respect people that smoked. They made by stand by the f****** road on a sidewalk. Because we were not allowed to be anywhere on their property, caught smoking or vaping, or we had to go all the way out to the beach. And it rained during my vacation. So when people go during it raining, they have to stand in the rain to smoke, or they have to pay $200 for a cleaner fee. The the deduct from ur form of purchase. Just from smoking outside which is f****** stupid
This place is not beneficial for everybody. And they do not give any of your deposits back. I do not recommend this place nor why I ever stay there again. I had arranged to stay there because my mom was having to have open heart surgery soon. So I took her out to the beach do have one last hurrah in memory before she has to go through surgery., and these people made it so difficult. The whole time we were there.

Good price, don’t plan to eat at on property restaurant they won’t ever wait on you
Pros:

I liked that it was on the beach, clean rooms, clean property

Cons:

We had to pay $8 a night for parking which was wild to me because it’s a best western. Then, the restaurant sucked. We tried to eat there twice no greeting or servers ever tried to take our order. Sat 20 minutes each time and there is ZERO air conditioning . Then there was a naked drunk man in the pool last night. For an hour. He was never removed. One of the elevators didn’t work, the toilet seat was broken in our room also.
