We recently spent one night at this hotel. The rate was 200 per night. The room was small, smelled like smoke and the floors were so dirty my socks turned brown. The bathroom was dirty and just plain nasty. There was no lock on the balcony door, and the front door had one broken lock, never removed and two others installed.If it had not been an event we would not have stayed. This hotel needs a serious review, it does the best western name no good and after this stay I will seriously reconsider staying at a best western hotel again. I feel like I have been ripped off. I travel quiet a bit and honestly have found nicer hotels in china, let alone on the beach in Daytona. I really do feel that I have been mislead by the fact that a hotel in this bad of shape is able to maintain this hotel chains name. I was embarresed that I had to have my family stay here, but at the hour we came back to the hotel and realized where we were it was to late to change. I checked out in the morning without even showering.

We stayed for 2 nights at the beginning of a Florida trip. The hotel was on the beachfront reasonably close to suitable bars, restaurants, shops, etc.
The hotel is a standard hotel which is probably due some upgrading. It was however good value in our view (about $75 per night). We stayed in a oceanfront room ($10 more) with two double beds which were reasonably comfortable. At the time of our stay the weather was extremely humid (rain and windy), and we did sense a dampness about the room, especially from the carpet. For that, our room was spotlessly clean so it was either something related to the weather or the air-conditioning.
The hotel supplies simple complimentary breakfasts, cereals, rolls, coffee, etc which we thought was fine. The bar next door did a reasonable meal (steak & ribs type stuff) at sensible money $15 or so.
It was only a shortish drive to the Daytona Speedway track which was an interesting 2 or 3 hour tour (probably much more interesting if you know something about Nascar).
All in all we liked Daytona and will visit again as there is plenty in the area to see and do. We will probably not stay at this Best Western, but wouldn't want to put anyone off, it is a decent hotel that we thought was good value and probably ideal for a family beach-type holiday, maybe after a week of Disney? For British visitors, it is an easy journey to/from Sanford Airport.

The view is fabulous from 8th floor!! We booked this hotel for 5 nights completely sight unseen. I have stayed in other hotels in Daytona/ormond beach over the years and just wanted to try something different and had no idea what to expect. I read the reviews and they were mixed so we decided to just see for ourselves. The room was roomy and clean, the bed was comfortable and did I mention the oceanfront view? I have stayed in the newer hotels that can even be a little less money, but the location(no drive zone) was perfect. Food, shops, ocean's walk.
About the negatives. Yes the hotel is a little older, the elevator a little slow, and the doors can stick. It IS a beach hotel. People will use the ocean and walk into the hotel wet and sandy so some dirt and wetness will be par for the course.
We will definately stay here again.

I have stayed at this hotel several times in the past and was pleased. This is why I chose to stay here with my family this time. I was scheduled to stay here 6 nights but only stayed 3. The only reason I stayed 3 was because I couldn't get a room elsewhere for my 3rd night. Our room was on the 8th floor in the corner right next to the Ocean Deck. It was very loud. The balcony was disgusting. There was bird poop all over the balcony along with thousands of ants. There were ants all over the room itself. We were afraid to eat the food we bought to keep in the room for fear of eating bugs. I left this hotel for a Radisson at half the price and it worth what I paid to stay here. I will never stay here again and would never recommend anyone else to stay here.
