“Beautiful hotel, outstanding staff!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

If you are looking for a wonderful hotel in Daytona Beach look no further. This truly is the place. Every single room in this fabulous hotel faces the ocean and a beautiful pool. The pool changes colour at night which is truly spectacular to look at from your balcony. Upon entering the lobby you are overwhelmed with truly breath taking view of the ocean from their floor to ceiling windows. The rooms are very large in size and have lovely ocean front balconies with them. The staff here goes above and beyond to meet and exceed your expectations. They are very courteous and friendly and really know the area. I had the pleasure of being checked in by Chris who was wonderful. At almost any point you can see at least one of the two fantastic managers on duty helping and encouraging their staff. This hotel is simply breath taking. I highly encourage people to stay here!

Thanks so much for such a wonderful review. These are exactly the kind of comments that we love to hear. The view is amazing, especially when first entering the hotel. Chris is a big part of the reason that we are able to provide such friendly service to each and every guest. We truly are one of the best hotels on the beach. We look forward to your return!

“Visiting College”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012

We stayed during Hurricane Sandy on Oct.27, 2012. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was very clean and nice a bit small but it was fine. We stayed ocean front on the 4th floor the view was beautiful on Sunday morning after the storm.

“Nice Place...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 23, 2012

Every room is ocean view! I haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn Brand in a number of years...

We were pleasantly greeted at the desk. Very late arrival, glad I had my confirmation number at hand, she couldn't find my reservation at first. Once I gave the number, she located it quickly.

Loved the ocean view, private balcony to watch the sunrise! Before we checked out, we had to walk the beach. Absolutely beautiful beaches!

Room Tip: The executive suites are very large.

It really is all about the view. Not many hotels can boast that all of our rooms are direct ocean front. No one wants to lean around the corner to see our beautiful beach. My staff is a big part of what makes us the best place to stay on the beach. Now that you found us, don't stay away so long.

“Hard to leave”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 30, 2012

I've been going to this hotel for years and is now a Holiday Inn and it is fabulous! They have done some wonderful renovations that made this property even nicer. The view is always fabulous from the private balcony and with the mini fridge, micro, coffee maker, pool, beach and nearby restaurants you never need to go far from this property to have the most wonderful time. The only problem is leaving, plan on giving yourself an extra day or two or three.
Lily at the Front desk was terrific, she was friendly and very helpful, was able to get me a room on the floor I preferred and gave me some suggestions for things to do and places to go. Kevin at checkout was great, and yes I will be going back hopefully many times. Debbie

Room Tip: All rooms face the ocean, so the view is fabulous from all!!!

“Great place to stay right on beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 23, 2012

Usually the first thing I do when I check in to a hotel is call the front desk to ask for extra towels and pillows. Not necessary here! They had extra towels for us during our recent 4 night stay and the pillows and especially the bed were very comfortable. Awesome view of the ocean, private balcony; good breakfast every morning, close to everything on Daytona Beach. The place is clean, and the staff is very accommodating. I would love to come back here and stay again!

Room Tip: we had the top floor, but no matter what room you are in, the view of the ocean is right in front of...
