“The staff is the treasure”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

Awesome staff. Don, Mike, Tabitha, Ansley, Burgundy and the catering folks went above and beyond to make our stay great. Great tips on local attractions and were the true examples of "Southern Hospitality". These folks are working their tails off. Unfortunately, they are woefully understaffed. 2 large groups were checking in and only Mike was there to handle it all, including phone calls. The GM was nowhere to be found. The reservations were in, so one would think they would have staffed for this. Same for check out.
Rooms while adequate and great views, were dated. Refrigerator and nuke were rusty and cruddy. The shower valve leaked. We told maintenance, but was never fixed. The ceiling leaked above the shower ( must be a leak from the unit upstairs) and the carpets needed a good cleaning. Not sure how this place stacks up against others in the area, as were were with a large group. I give the Front Desk Staff an A+; Housekeeping C, Maintenance a D and the GM a WTF.

“Loved it!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

Ocean View was great! Dog friendly and my Mini Pin loved the view from the room. Room was very nice! Bed was great! Bathroom was clean, but needed to be remodeled. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We will return next visit to Daytona. Very good value.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are currently in the process of renovating the bathrooms, it is unfortunate that you were not in one of rooms that had already been updated while you were here. In addition to the newly remodeled bathrooms, we have also added 42 inch plasma TVs in all the rooms. Make sure to check us out the next time you come to Daytona, I am sure you will love us even more.

“Will not be back”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2013 via mobile

Me and my husband spent two nights here at the end of our honeymoon. After checking in we went to our room and the kitchen area was full(at LEAST 10-15) dead cockroaches. Went back downstairs and the apoligized and put us on the top floor in a different room they said was just remodeled, upon walking in it looked nice, but not remodeled. The bathroom wall had a hole in it that was patched up and smelled a bit. The next night our ac quit working and by the time someone came up to fix it I was sleeping and had to listen to them replace it. It was a good location, but we will not be back.

“On the Beach”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013

Hotel is at a nice location on the beach but the hotel check in staff are not very inviting or friendly. They don't go out of their way to make you feel welcome. They don't have anything in the room to indicate what amenities the hotel has to offer.

“Nice place for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013

Stayed here at the end of January on a business trip with a little fun thrown in. Chose the Plaza Ocean Club because there was a special on the price. I had to call the day before I arrived to add a guest to my room and spoke with Mike, who was very pleasant and accommodating. I was prepared for great service. Unfortunately, when I arrived to check in, there was one desk clerk talking on the telephone and another woman talking to a guy who sounded like he was trying to finagle a free room. Neither of them even acknowledged me with a nod or smile, although it was obvious I was checking in from my luggage. I stood there at least 10 minutes (I timed it) before anyone actually acknowledged I was there. Not a very good beginning, as the front desk sets the tone for the visit. My room was okay, obviously not one that had been refurbished, but clean (if you don't count the damp towels left in the minifridge to defrost it). I didn't mind that, as I was early checking in. The beds were comfortable, the bathtub had rust stains, but I knew they were refurbishing when I made my reservation. The bar area is nice and the bartender very pleasant. Also, breakfast was good in the restaurant. The best thing about this hotel is that it is directly on the beach and has close proximity to the convention center and tourist areas. I would say here again. I would really give it a 3 and a half rating.
