We had a very nice spring break at Dream Inn. My sister and I went on our first "Sisters Trip" in nearly 20 years. This hotel came up while I was browsing AOL's travel site. The price and location were good, so we booked a king room with ocean view.
From the street, the Dream Inn is unimposing. It is older and is built in the 1960's style: A low, concrete block row of rooms. But it immediately proclaims itself as unique by the bright yellow paint job and the replica Statue of Liberty statue outside the office, many dolphin statues, creative tile work, and is a study in bohemian decorations.
The building, pool area, and grounds are immaculate. There isn't even time for sand to be tracked into the beach access causeway between rooms before it is swept away! The room we used contradicted the exterior design. All of the fixtures and furnishings in the room were sparkling clean and new.
We especially liked:
1. Private beach access
2. Cleanliness
3. Good air conditioning
4. Location 3 miles from frantic city center
5. Sweet manager who seems to care about guests and hotel
6. COLD refrigerator that kept canned sodas frosty
7. Cigarette-smoking happy dolphin overlooking pool
8. Yellow "home base" is easy to find again from the beach
9. 10% off with room key at Denny's across the street
10. Easy free parking
11. Security (room safes, special room locks, well-lit grounds)
I recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a sane stay - neither chaotic nor boring - in crazy Daytona Beach during spring break.
