Don't let the name Days Inn make you think this place is lower quality, but the opposite. The staff and management take pride in making sure things are kept up and the guests have an enjoyable visit. Stayed for three nights in Room 606, 2 Beds Oceanfront Efficiency. Perfect views from the balcony to watch the sun rise and enjoy watching the waves crash below on the beach. Saw no bugs of any kind and the room was spotless. Had an issue with the sliding door being hard to open, but being subject to salty ocean air, things happen. I mentioned to the manager at the front desk and explained that they might want to get someone up there at some point to take a look at it, wasn't expecting it to be resolved in less than 5 minutes. He immediately called maintenance and they were up to my room within 30 seconds after I got back up to my room and were there to fix it. 15 minutes later, door sliding easy like it was new. Used the parking garage below the hotel, while not overly big, was perfect for keeping car out of the sun all day, even a vacuum to sweep out your car if you wanted to. Hot tub was still being constructed from what I had heard had been taken out during a hurricane. Pool was plenty big and the there were plenty other ways to have fun and relax. Definitely will return in the future and highly recommended. Even got points from Wyndham Rewards for a future stay.
Location was good. Right on the beach and easy access to stores, restaurants, etc. We had a ground floor unit facing the ocean. R. 104, I think. The key lock box was rusted and corroded and partially hanging off the wall. It was difficult to open. The towels were filthy! I had to wash the kitchen utensils I used after requesting a clean sponge. The sponge provided was grungy and fit for the trash. I wanted to use their drip coffee maker instead of the Keurig….bad idea because it was gross with dirt and residual coffee grinds. Even the Keurig coffee cups, looked old, the foil lids were frayed and dusty/dirty. The oceanside door to our room was rusted, and that area was dark at night. No outside lighting when exiting to the parking lot via the oceanside door. Some of the electrical outlets inside were missing outlet covers and other outlets were overloaded with cords belonging to the unit. Even though staff was remote and a phone call away, I would not choose this hotel again. Sometimes staff were onsite working making it easy to get some replacement items. I know salt water can cause damage to finishes, however, a fresh coat of paint and an extensive cleaning, followed up with thorough cleanings and routine maintenance would work wonders for this place.
This hotel was actually rather nice for it being a last resort. We couldn’t find any available and reasonably priced hotels on Daytona Beach so we went to Ormond Beach which is only like 8 miles away. The rooms are nice and clean. The beds are comfortable. It has a kitchenette for warming up stuff but no heavy cooking on the little stove. Breakfast was more like a snack but no worries because if you turn right out the hotel, IHOP is right there. Clean bathroom and showers. Towels aren’t very soft but they serve the purpose. Very clean outdoor pool with a beautiful beach access! Overall, good stay with friendly staff!
