This small hotel is in a great location just across the road from the beach, squeezed between all the new high-rise buildings. We couldn't understand why whoever had painted the walls had also painted the edge of the carpet but the room was fine and the Wi-FI worked. Good value.

I am a world traveler and a Daytona native. I have no illusions about quality of hospitality properties. Property needs some work, which it seems is underway. The manager is awesome. You get what you pay for, and this place is cheap, but it Rebecca, the manager (not the yahoos that they got rid of during my stay) is really... More

Thank you so much for your comment. I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that I was able to help see to that. We are under renovations here, so we are not the most beautiful motel, but we are in the most beautiful place. My goal here is to give a little happiness to others... More

I heard that the Famous Shores Motel was under new management, which I thought was something long over due! With all of the negative reviews and a past experience that was not good, I took the chance and came back. I am so glad that I did, and every time I am in Daytona I will stay here. The new... More

First I would like to say there is a major lack of communication here. The man (mgr) on the phone who reserved my stay told me 440. I said "great". When we got there a few weeks later, there was a lady in the office who told me a discounted price of 220 because she had accidentally rented our room... More

I should have known it was a mistake when it took 7 calls to nail down the manager for a reservation. Our reservation was for after Bike Week had ended. Upon arrival, we were told by a girl in the office that our room was $457 for 2 nights. We'd been told $60 per night. They honored this even though... More

I have stayed at this little motel many times in the distant past. Each time it has been a reliable, clean and frugal stay. Historically it has been family owned, but right now it has a resident manager and the owner drops by. He needs to stay longer, because his guests are not quite getting the service I believe he...
