Cleanliness
5.8
Multiple mentions of bathroom issues (no drain cover, irregularities), pool restrooms described as disgusting, and inconsistent towel housekeeping — overall below average cleanliness.
Service
8.8
Staff frequently described as friendly and helpful, though there were some front-desk/key handling and check-in confusions; overall service is a relative strength.
Location
9.4
Consistently praised (easy beach/pool access, convenient location and parking accommodations) — a clear strong point.
Room Quality
8.9
Rooms described as a good size, clean and with comfortable beds and nice views, though some bathrooms and small amenities (mini-fridge) could be improved.
Amenities
6
Mixed feedback: pool and pool restrooms reported dirty, limited/slow elevator service for a large property, very small mini-fridge; basic amenities present but with issues.
Value for Money
5.2
Numerous complaints about unexpected fees (parking $8–$15, $100 deposit) and misleading listing about included breakfast — value perceived as poor.
Food and Beverage
5.6
Guests reported confusion and restrictions around the 'included' breakfast (voucher system, limited menu) and some unexpected charges — below average satisfaction.
Overall Experience
7.1
Mixed overall: strong location and generally good room comfort offset by cleanliness, unexpected fees, and amenity/service friction; overall aligns with target rating.

False advertisement. The listing never said we would have to pay $8 dollars to park on the property
Pros:

The location

Cons:

Having to pay $8 per vehicle to park on the property. We only got clean towels once.
Internet kept going out.
Mini refrigerator was so small only 6 8oz drinks would fit.

Its deceiving what it says you get for the price.
Pros:

Room was clean, beds comfortable, view was nice, staff was nice.

Cons:

Check in was anytime after 4pm, I was at event so I knew I would not check in till 5:30ish. At little after 5pm my credit card was charged the room charge when it state it will not charge my card until I get to the hotel. It state it will be a 8.00 charge a night for parking and it was 15.00 a night. So went to breakfast and just thought it was buffet like regular, no one said anything about the free included breakfasts but it was a full restaurant and I asked about the free breakfast thats included, they said you have to have a voucher or pay. Went and got the voucher and its was up 12.00 but you can only order from a special menu and nothing from the real restaurant menu but it was ok it was free. And I saw everyone had to get the voucher and go back an ask for them and someone in the restaurant said if you dont ask for it they dont give it to you so you must ask, most people will pay for breakfast and not ask so they dont give it to you. 1 elevator for 5 floors and maybe 200+ rooms took a very long time, almost 20 mins at 1 point and I was on the 5th floor with my bags. I almost fell on the wet floor in front of elevator because someone just mop and you could not tell as your walking to it and they did not have any wet floor signs. The rooms where not bad but the bathrooms need some work and the shower had no drain cover it was a big hole in the ground and the shower door handle was falling off. Parking- not enough for 5 floors of rooms definitely not alot of Parking and spots are short. I have a small sedan and it took me 2 times backing in and out to get in the spot and 4 times to get out. They pack as many cars in a very small area. You own a suburban good luck if someone parked behind you.

More hassle than I wanted to deal with
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

There was confusion about two rooms I pd for , they said I only had one but it finally got straightened out,then my friends in the second room kept having trouble with their key and when they came in the last night they couldn’t get in and I had to leave my room after I had already retired to go to the front desk and finally get it taken care of

Regular para el tiempo
Pros:

La habitación , el hotel no está malo el asunto es q no está explícito , nada de lo q te cobran , y eso te da un mal gusto y también te piden 100 dólares de depósito

Cons:

Te cobran 15 dólares por parqueo y en ningún lugar está explicado cuando haces la reservación y te cobran el desayuno q supuestamente era incluido sin q lo sepas cuando llegas es q te enteras

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

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
