Review 2：I love this place is my first time! All perfect! room, pool, access to the beach, breakfast all the time is hot and fresh, make sports with my kids. Everything is clean and friendly employees. Thanks for everything. I would stay soon again.

Review 3：There wasn't anything we would change except to stay longer.

Review 4：The staff are very efficient and helpful. They went out of their way to fulfill our requests. From the cookies in the am to the happy hour in pm, everything was wonderful.

Review 5：It was an unusually cold night and the heater was broken.

Review 6：The location is excellent, right on Daytona Beach. Also, the hotel's restaurant is very good.

Review 7：Unexplained Humidifier in the room . Musty smell , filthy stove &vent . Carpet the same . Sliding door difficult to open . Room appearedclean but didnt hold up upon inspection . Had to change rooms - 4roaches appeared within a hour ! ( they said even after a Pest Conttrolrecent Spray ) big problem !

Review 8：Convenience

Review 9：At first we were placed in a room that wasn't clear/clean; but they moved us to a better room, but the desk mirror had writing on it. Need to make sure the room is thoroughly clean & cleared.

Review 10：We were able to change to a different room, which was a better view, beach side view; & the continental breakfast was great.

Review 11：Room smelt mouldy , pools were closed for refurb ( not mentioned when booking and had been closed 4 weeks ) place really needs a refurb all over

Review 12：Location right on the beach

Review 13：None

Review 14：The property is accessible and in proximity to all interesting locations such as NASCAR race course, the beach is a 100m walk. The staff were friendly, very helpful, and there were free cocktails everyday from 4:30pm till 6:30pm which was very nice

Review 15：Unfriendly staff, very old school and stuffy rooms. Was not cleaned very well when we arrived and we had water on the floor and some black hair on the bed...

Review 16：Ocean front location

Review 17：Unfortunately free coffee is only available during breakfast. I would like to see them offer it 24/7 at the front office like some of the other hotel chains do. (I know that is sort of a lame complaint - but I am such a coffeeholic., not to mention the coffee maker in my room was broken)

Review 18：The room was nice and the beds were comfortable. Of course, being right on the beach is a definite plus. The coffee in the restaurant during breakfast was really good.

Review 19：The only reason why just the smile was only due to the beautiful poolarea was not available. I understand that I didn't book direct andthat was the reason why I was not told. I was told the area will beavailable by February, when I will be there again. Can't wait. . afantastic vacation.. I would like to give a two thumbs up to Lisa at thefront desk. She is a true asset to you hotel. She went above and beyondher job description. Lisa is a big reason why I will be back to DaytonaBeach Best Western. Thank you and have a happy new year.

Review 20：The beds were horrible. Very hard and uncomfortable. We decided to leave and go to another facility. If not for the uncomfortable beds it was a good stay.

Review 21：Pool was under renovation. The hotel is old and needs refurbishment. Breakfast was quite poor and served in plastic plates.

Review 22：The room was spacious and had a wonderful sea view. Happy hour in the restaurant. Refrigerator in the room. Free parking in front of the hotel. Good basic hotel.

Review 23：When we checked in we were told we had be upgraded to a room with a pool... But the pool which I was looking forward to using was being resurfaced so every morning we woke up to power tools in the pool by 8am

Review 24：The rooms are spacious The view of the ocean was great The hot breakfast was good

Review 25：parking lot could be bigger.

Review 26：closeness to the beach, near stores, easy to find, friendly atmosphere, nice bar, kid loved the fish. good breakfast plus other food.

Review 27：Carpeting and furniture in public areas had somewhat dull colors, felt like the 80's.

Review 28：Location by the beach. Nice pool/ocean view. Free parking, WiFi and pool towels.

Review 29：The afternoon happy hour is a definite plus. We dined in the restaurant for the first time and I got the Early Bird special which was very good. The pool is excellent and easy access to the beach. Your staff is always friendly and pleasant and helpful. My only recommendation is to get another elevator. November was not a busy time, but when we were there in May, getting an elevator took forever!!

Review 30：The room was located on the 5th floor facing the pool(Northside) with the sun almost eight hours into the room,which is most excellent! Everything was very clean and quiet.I don't see how you could not enjoy the comp.breakfast( great coffee) which changed slightly for our 4 days.

Review 31：Weather was great! Time of the year was good for us. The other guest were friendly. The staff was helpful and courteous. The breakfast was delicious. The room clean. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Review 33：spacious and clean room/ excellent bed/ ocean side view/ friendly staff/ great pool and beach/

Review 41：The staff was nice.

Review 42：Nothing

Review 43：The staff was very professional and polite. We were there for biketober fest 2015 in room 110 and the lady that cleaned our room did a jam up job. We will definitely be back thanks for making it a great trip.

Review 44：The room was very clean with the exception of bathroom vent and a couple light fixtures were FULL of dust. Easy things to overlook especially when cleaning your own home but I noticed it right away.

Review 45：Friendly staff, clean room, nice pool, good breakfast, great tiki bar with awesome music. Loved the bartender! Clean rooms with nice view of the beach. And free happy hour was great!

Review 47：The location,the beach, the pool,the free breakfast,and a reasonable price.

Review 53：air conditioning didn't work properly, the room smelled badly, (we ask to change after the first night) inappropriate behavior of other customers at the pool: someone washed their shoes in the pool water some other .... I don't want to describe their sexual behavior, it's not about me but there were children!

Review 58：The view was awesome. Hundreds of dolphins feeding at the change of the tides..

Review 59：The smoke alarm in our room was set too high and was overly reactive.We had a kitchenette in our room. The smoke alarm went off when we were cooking a meal and there was not even really any smoke in the air in our room. Hotel needs to make chairs available for guests to be able to take to the beach at the hotel.

Review 61：One elevator that I knew of!!!

I don't know if they do that all the time or just during certain times.

Review 86：The wifi was a little spotty at some places on the property.

Review 87：The pool is fantastic, no &where near crowded even during busy times. The free breakfast is one of the best we've ever had at an 'economy' hotel. We really enjoyed the free evening happy hour & unlike most hotels the food is not overpriced. All of the staff we met were very friendly.

Review 91：Breakfast buffet was not that good; breakfast meat was supposedly sausage links but tasted like mystery meat. Beds are too hard and uncomfortable.

Review 93：The breakfast was good but to me a breakfast buffet isn't complete without bacon! Either way I was satisfied.

Review 96：We loved the pool and the view. It was nice with a tiki bar and restaurant to get a drink while laying out. The staff was great also!

Review 99：Parking was great, staff was very friendly and sweet and helpful, room was very clean, and very much updated, view from our balcony room was awesome, maid service excellent job in cleaning our room daily fresh linen daily, over all very friendly and really really clean hotel. Security cameras all over, felt safe, Would stay here again looking towards next year..

Review 100：Sounds goofy but having fresh cookies first thing in the morning was the goofiest thing. Every other hotel has them in afternoon. I also was disappointed that coffee wasn't offered after breakfast.

Review 101：The staff at the hotel was excellent. They were friendly and very helpful. The Happy Hour was a blast as was the pool and the the outside bar. The location is as good as it gets for seeing the shores of Florida.

Review 103：The beach access was perfect for what we wanted. Busy hotel but you never felt overcrowded at The pool.

Review 113：The views were amazing, the restaurant is really good. The bar and was cool, and tiki area was a lot of fun.

Review 114：Kids pool needed to be cleaned. Menu by the elevator said early bird special for dinner. Told they had a new menu. Never took down the menu by the elevator. Dinner was not good.

Review 118：This place was awesome. The staff were super friendly. The other visitors sucked, but that wasn't the hotel's fault. Had a blast! Thank you! Definitely will return.

Review 119：This hotel just needs some upgrading, and a face lift. I think they needto replace room carpets badly.

Review 120：This was a good hotel with a very friendly staff, vey helpful frontdesk. Read reviews about mean staff,I did not see any. The pool wasreally nice or you can just walk out to the surf. Benson at the tiki baris a top notch bartender as is Renee inside. But he rally took greatcare of his guest. The morning hot breakfast fast good and a free happyhour was just as good.

Review 122：Staff was great. Free drinks at cocktail hour was great. Music by pool was good.

Review 123：As we were down for Jeep Beach, it was close to the main venue, enjoyed the friendliness of the staff. Loved the pool and the bartender at the Tiki Bar.

Review 124：The beds were a little too firm for our liking, the coffee in the room for the coffee machine was horrible. But we just went down to the dining room and got our coffee from there!

Review 125：We enjoyed everything about our stay, including all the staff! Benson does an amazing job running the tiki bar!! Breakfast was very good every morning.

Review 126：On the beach! I liked the fact there was a restaurant in the hotel, the pool was nice, shuffle board. Rooms were clean and nicely decorated. Beach view from almost every room

Review 127：the bed was horrible. Not comfortable at all. Restaurant was closed for renovations so you had to leave the property to eat out

Review 128：Very peaceful. We wanted total relaxation and we accomplished thst

Review 129：Building is a bit rundown could use a little remodeling.

Review 130：Beach front, few steps from the beach. Happy hour free drinks from 17:30-18:30. Overall good experience!

Review 131：There were cobwebs and mold in our room. staff gave us an immediate upgrade for the same price, but the hotel needs a remodel asap.

Review 132：The staff was so pleasant, professional and solution driven!

Review 133：Felt sorry for poor goldfish being eaten alive in lobby by other type of aggressive fish. :(

Review 134：The free drinks, breakfast, over sized swimming pool and comfortable rooms were awesome, we will be back!!!!

Review 135：Breakfast was free and so can't complain too much. However, it could have had more variety or had an option to order for a small upcharge.

Review 136：This place has been around a long time. Expected it to be dated , but has been well kept. Easy to park and easy beach access. Friendly and clean place. The restaurant is nothing spectacular but food and service were just fine for our purposes. Overall a good value away from the boardwalk area . We would go again when looking for a no-frills getaway at a sane price.
