“No Place For Yankees!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

Problems abound if you are not canadian, owned by canadians, they cater to same, nice at first but try to complain about something and forget it... then you are treated terribly! The TV didn't work, and i was up all night because the beds were so hard, but they wouldn't change my room, kept sending over maintenance guy to fix it this went on until 12noon (ruined my whole morning) then they tried to give me a room right over the parking lot and trash, also employees walked right into my room without permission, told them i was hard of hearing but they didn't care. Finally gave me another room, knowing i was exhausted they called my phone woke me up for a forgotten toothbrush...the icing on the cake is when the manager sent a housekeeper to my room to reprove me for getting on a bus to go to the golden corral buffet for lunch, i was told by sheila i could go on trips posted on the wall so i went, someone squealed on me wonder who? If it looks too good to be true...well you know the rest! Moved next door to Choice Hotel.

True, we do have many Canadians staying with us and we do cater to them, as we do all of our guests.
Every effort is made to accommodate the needs of each patron; it is very important to our entire staff that everyone perceives their stay as a positive experience. With this practice in mind, our hotel has consistently maintained its excellent rating.

“Just as great as the reviews say!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013 via mobile

We were traveling and decided to stop and see Daytona beach. Chose Nautilus Inn based on reviews. All so true. The place was so clean and well kept. Beautiful pool and courtyard area and great beach area. Room was spacious. Nice full kitchen. Everything updated. Nice continental breakfast. Very friendly front desk. Casey called local pizza place for us when we arrived late. Also enjoyed Sheila's recommendation for lunch at Our Deck Down Under. Great local experience! We plan to return to Nautilus inn!

“Wonderful Place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

We were going to write a rave review on the Nautilus Inn.....mentioning how clean the hotel & rooms were, how well maintained the property is, the wonderful complimentary breakfast & Happy Hour, the very friendly staff, the beautiful deck & pool, the great location on the beach, how every room had a fully equipped kitchen, the fun activities, free wifi, every room has a wonderful view and very secure environment.....but, the previous 156 reviews have already said it all. and this is why the Nautilus Inn is number 2 out of 108 Daytona hotels reviewed. Take our word for it....this is the best hotel for your dollar on Daytona beach. You won't be disappointed.

Room Tip: The front rooms face the ocean...all the other rooms have ocean views.......except for the lower flo...

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your time in our little 'home away from home.' The credit goes to our great staff who ensures we are offering well-maintained guest rooms and common areas, along with excellent service.

We are very proud of our trip advisor ranking and we know that it wouldn't be possible to be #2 if we didn't have the support of guests like yourself posting reviews. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back again.

“More Than We Could Imagine”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

Stayed recently with my wife and two daughters, ages 19 & 15, during a cheer competition at the Oceans Center. Suffice it to say, the room was impeccably clean and larger than expected, pool area meticulously maintained, and the hotel staff were phenomenal. Location was a plus being a short distance from all the madness near the competition site and directly on the beach. While the majority of hotel guests were somewhat elderly, this did not detract from our wonderful experience...and probably added, in a positive manner, to it.

“Clean and friendly Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

Found the hotel by chance after checking out other hotels along the ocean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Showed us the room before we excepted it. Everything was in it's place and CLEAN! Watched them clean the patio off before the morning risers. Pool and hot tub was open when we wanted to use it, midnite, both were clean and a good tempature too. This hotel has gone the extra mile to set the bar for other hotels to follow. I will stay there again no question.

Room Tip: Move your kitchen table in front of the window so you can take in the view while eating.
