We got a $45/night manager's special (ocean view on the 3rd floor), and for the price, this motel was excellent. It's right on the beach (literally, just a few steps down) and the pool and sun loungers were right there.

The bedsheets were clean and bathroom decent, but it wasn't 'deep' clean. There was a strong smell of bleach (a little air freshener wouldn't have gone amiss) and the carpet was sticky in several patches - you wouldn't want to walk around barefooted.

Compared to other motels, this was definitely decent and for beachfront, the price can't be beat... just change the carpet and you've got motel perfection.

stayed at the Atlantic Ocean Palms last Monday Eve, unfortunately the weather was cool and very windy thanks to SANDY.. lol anyway the hotel was a bit dated but very clean. I always appreciate a clean room. None of the extras you find at the newer motels. Nice beach access and good view of the ocean from our corner room. No one at desk after eight pm. Both employees I meet were very friendly and helpful. Most important it was clean and reasonably priced. Beds were great best sleep of our trip.

My friend and I spent more than a week at this hotel and it was great. The owners are very helpful and accommodating. The room was large and clean. We had a great view of the ocean from the terrace which was calming and relaxing. Can not say enough about our stay here. The location is great, walking distance to restaurants and stores. The hotel is well kept and the grounds are clean. It was wonderful to have a place like this to stay for a relaxing vacation. Hope to be back soon.

I prefer "mom and pop' hotels, which is why I was attracted by the Atlantic Ocean Palm Inn. I wasn't disappointed. It's a smaller property, dwarfed by the huge high-rise condos (which look mostly empty!) nearby. The front desk lady was gracious and helpful. The price was very reasonable. There are laundry facilities, should you need them. This hotel is actually located in the town of Daytona Beach shores, which is about 4 miles south of the Daytona Beach pier. I had a very pleasurable overnight stay here and hope to come back for a longer stay.
