Scene
Value property on Daytona Beach with a pool, a hot tub, and sundeck
The value priced La Quinta Inn & Suites Oceanfront Daytona Beach offers a family-friendly atmosphere with direct access to a lovely and seemingly endless stretch of sand. The rust-colored exterior of the building, with white details and Spanish roof tiles, creates a charming first impression that's typical of the chain. The outdoor parking lot is spruced up with palms. However, some common areas could use more cleaning attention. There are three floors, which are accessible by stairs or elevator. High ceilings and glass automatic doors provide a lot of natural light in the lobby that’s decorated in colorful cushioned chairs and silver and wooden end tables. The pet-friendly hotel offers lawns at the rear of the property for dog walking along with a sun deck, an outdoor pool, and a hot tub -- all overlooking the beach. The hot tub has a wheelchair lift. A mushroom-shaped kids' fountain is in the shallow section of the pool and lounge chairs dot the deck. Outdoor showers are located by the beach entrance, a wooden staircase. Overall the atmosphere is relaxed, but noise from children or Spring Break students can sometimes disrupt the peaceful vibe.
