Scene
Standard chain hotel decor with beachy touches
The beige stucco building blends in with the sands of Daytona Beach that the hotel was named after. The property was renovated in March 2014, and has added some nice touches to the common areas -- black and white beach photography, earth tone rugs with floral prints, and fresh brown paint. Past the lobby, down the hall, is the hotel's dining area where free breakfast is served each morning; the space has nice natural light, wood furniture, and brown tile floors, and is decorated with more beach photography. Beyond the dining area are the doors leading to the outdoor pool, where there are plenty of white lounge chairs perfect for sunbathing and taking in the ocean views. The majority of guests are families and couples looking for an affordable beach vacation.
