Easy access to the beach, and the room was nice enough. However the lights outside the rooms come on at dark with no way to turn off from inside the room. They are extremely bright and even with the shade closed it is too bright to sleep in the room. Also the room was never cleaned during our stay. With it being located right next to the beach the floors became so sandy by the 2nd day that I went and got a broom from the store to clean it myself. Also the pool is closed for construction and this was not noted in the listing. I would stay here again but only if there were no other options in the area.

This is an old motel. That said it’s right on the beach, the proprietor lady was very nice and everything worked in my room. It’s basic accommodation and they are recovering from the storm damage. I stayed for the Daytona 24 and would stay again.

The room was very clean which was great. The door to get to the balcony was extremely hard to open and close. Almost impossibile. Theyre definitely still recovering from the damages from the bad storm. They should not advertise the pool because they do not have one. The spot is very convenient and the staff was very nice!

Our room was very clean & up dated. The grounds and surrounding area are still being worked on after the hurricane. Staff was very helpful & welcoming. I was here for a work stay & would stay again for work but being that the grounds and outside spaces need fixed and updated I would not stay for a vacation

We were only their one night for a few hours, but just wasn't overly impressed. Check in person wasn't super friendly. The room was ok, and really small. There was a loud window AC unit so it turning off and on all night was not great. You can tell they have done some updating, but the window in the shower was pretty old and if you opened it, the hotel guests in the building next to you can see you. The soap was only enough for one shower, maybe two. The height of the sink/counter was pretty high so difficult for me (5'1) to use the sink, and the faucet was loose to the point I thought it might come apart. Beds were comfy though. The remote didn't work well and the battery cover was missing.

Advertised a pool. Pool was empty. Area torn up. Advertised free extended parking. We got there 5 hours early and were charged $35 to park there until check-in. The parking lot was practically empty. Should not advertise these perks and not provide. Would appreciate some type of refund.

I recently had the misfortune of staying at the so-called "Dream Inn” (@ Daytona Beach, if you’re wondering) and I can confidently say that it was anything but a dream. In fact, it was more of a nightmarish experience that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. First of all, let's talk about the rooms. The pictures they have on Expedia and other online platforms must have been taken during some magical era because the reality is far from what you see. But the real cherry on top of this terrible sundae was the staff. Let's start with management, Nick. If you ever encounter him, run in the opposite direction as fast as you can. I'm convinced he was put on this earth solely to make people's lives miserable. He had the personality of a wet blanket and the customer service skills of a brick wall and I have my doubts about his ability to even manage a lemonade stand, let alone a hotel. And don't even get me started on the overall experience. The Dream Inn is nothing more than a glorified 3rd world motel with delusions of grandeur. If you're looking for a headache-inducing, stress-ridden vacation, then by all means, go ahead and book a room here. But if you value your sanity and your hard-earned money, do yourself a favor and spend a little extra to stay somewhere that won't leave you questioning your life choices. Do yourself a favor and spend a little extra money to actually enjoy your stay somewhere else. Trust me, the peace of mind is worth every penny.

still clean, no pool
As the pic showed we expected a pool. We have always enjoyed this place and it was still kept up, not as much as before but still very clean. But no pool. For what we paid here we definitely could have been in another of our favorites with a pool. I definitely did not see where it stated no pool.

Property was small but nice. Right next to the beach. Room was slanted downwards to one side. Bed comfortable, but not enough curtains, the lights outside come through too much. Pool was empty under construction but beach access was easy and nice.

I would like a refund
The price was reasonable if the pool was working and if the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, the pool was still damaged and not in repair even though the picture on the website says otherwise. And the bed did not have support in the middle. Also, it was not a very dark environment for sleeping, because there is a light right outside the door that shown through even when the blinds were shut. It would be nice if there was a curtain on the door to defuse some of the light that was seeping through the blinds. The employees were nice enough and the room was clean.

No middle support under this King sized bed frame.
A rock is being used at the foot of the King sized bed to support the frame.
