I understand there was a hurricane 5 months ago, but at the time of booking it was not stated on this page or the Daytona Beach Resort website that there are no amenities available. You will be looking at broken pools and scattered tile with caution tape. The hotel workers will not answer any questions when asked about the indoor pool (appears to work) it’s bubbling and is clean so it appears to be working!?!? If you have any questions they just tell you to call the owner for all questions. There is only 1/3 working elevators and parking garage is closed. You will need to park next door (no problem) except if the parking lot is full then they want you to park at the shopping plaza across the street.
The only thing to do is go to the beach. We inquired about renting chairs/umbrella, it is $40 a day. We were not willing to pay this daily so I bought 2 cheap chairs at Dollar General for $24 and donated them to the room, they are in the closet for the next renter. I guess you could buy a cheap umbrella if you can’t tolerate the sun beating on you all day. I would think the owner would at least invest in a couple of nice beach chairs for the room as that is what other renters told me the owners did for them. Overall, the room was ok for what we expected other than a VERY hard bed, we were able to deal with that but it’s a Murphy bed and the pillows fall off the bed all night in the big space between the wall and bed. Don’t forget to bring your own hair dryer like me as there is not one in the unit.
There are nice restaurants and a grocery store nearby making it convenient to everything in Daytona/Ormond beach area. I hope someday they can rebuild and make it a nice place again.
