“A Pleasant Surprise”

Dream Inn

Mar 28, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

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.

“Dream Inn was rude even when I made the reservation”

Dream Inn

Oct 14, 2006
4/5 found this review helpful

We wanted to stay in a small Florida hotel and Dream Inn looked perfect. We made our reservation online and received our confirmation. Then a representative from the hotel called us, wanting us to sign a form which she would fax to us to guarantee that we would pay for our stay. We thought this a little unusual since we had already booked online with a credit card. We didn't receive the fax, and since our reservation was in two days, we didn't think much about it. We received another phone call from the inn the day before our reservation. Again, they wanted to know where the fax was. When we explained that we hadn't received it, it became confusing as to whether we had a reservation or not. In addition, since it was a weekend day, there was no way for them to fax us another form without great inconvenience for us, since we have no fax machine at home. The experience put us off. The lady from the Inn was confrontational and patronizing in her tone, making it hard for us to imagine being comfortable in her hotel. It just didn't seem like a good way to treat a customer. In the end we cancelled our reservation and went elsewhere.

Carrie and All,
This is the best place I've found to stay in Daytona Beach...I just wanted to tell you what a great time we had at the Dream Inn..the rooms were wonderful, the staff fantastic, and the weather, perfect. Dream Inn has a real "Florida of Yesterday" quality that is so lacking in the mega Hotels and Resorts. I'd come again in a "heartbeat" and actually plan on another stay in the near future. My thanks to you all for a memorable vacation. SIncerely, L Gagne

2/3 found this review helpful

Stayed 2 nights at this lovely quaint Motel. The owners are on the property keeping it immaculate and treat you like family. The admosphere is very warm, quite and friendly so you can enjoy the ocean, sun and sand. It is priced very reasonably, and as far as having a great location - it is within walking distance to restaurants, convenience stores and gift shops. I enjoyed it so much that I just booked a room for this coming weekend.

2/2 found this review helpful

My hubby and I stayed at the Dream Inn in
Aug. 06 for 4 nites. I had stayed at this property
before but it had been several years ago.
We found the room spotless and very nicely
appointed.The bed was very comfy(this
is very important to us)

The grounds were in great condition.
The pool was very clean and we
really enjoyed all the lounge chairs and
palapas in the pool area. The pool area
overlooks the beach.

This property is small and does not
have a restaurant or lounge but that
is no problem for us as we like to go
out for meals on vacation.

The room had a refrigerator, microwave
and coffeemaker. We purchased snacks
and drinks and just relaxed and really
enjoyed ourselves.

The staff was helpful with any request and
took care of requests very very quickly.
I am a travel agent and can be hard to please
but if you want a small intimate clean property
with great service this is a gem.
