Holiday Inn & Suites Daytona Beach on the Ocean by IHG

8/10 Good
"The hotel was in a perfect location to the beach! The room was well maintained, the front desk staff were amazing, they were super helpful and very friendly. Overall we had an amazing stay here the only downfall was the staff working in the restaurant were very rude. The first two days we went down to eat and didn’t have an amazing experience, so on day three we left the hotel to eat elsewhere. Besides the staff in the restaurant having terrible attitudes and no hospitality the food wasn’t the best but what you may find at a typical free breakfast and most hotels."
