A simple room at a good price. The location to the beach is outstanding and Daytona Pier an easy bus ride. We were greeted by a very helpful desk clerk who was very polite. For those not wanting to hit the beach a small pool area and picnic area overlooking the sea is a good substitute

We stayed here based on the extreme makeover and was very disappointed. The pool was not clear, plastic chairs outside of the doors with towels and people hanging out. Standing water in the area going out to the pool, No ice and out of some of the drinks in the machines. The bathroom was very tiny and had an odor.... More

Just got back from a 5 night stay at Dream Inn. This hotel is the most comfortable and friendly spot in all of Daytona. Ocean front and extremely reasonably priced. Pool is always clean and landscape is kept neat and tidy. This was our second stay with Dream Inn. Hotel has quaint old style Florida charm and we love it... More

I visited for one day and was very pleased being right on the beach. I liked the grounds in between the hotel and the beach as it had an area to sit or lounge on a hill above the pool. My room and the hotel itself was nice, but a little dated. I did have a good, restful night. Jody,... More

Okay....first thing first. The photos on the site are like 20 years old. The outside is ok. Lots of construction next door. The staff(one guy) is not friendly at all. He couldn't even help us figure out what we should do as we were tourists. The king size room we stayed in was terrible. Mold all in the bathroom! If... More

I'm sorry to hear you had an unpleasant experience. When did you stay with us? We recently underwent major renovations, which our website reflects. (Our photos were taken in July 2012.) I can't imagine that your bathroom or our pool were the way you described; cleanliness is a huge priority for us. In addition, we have more than enough pool... More

I will absolutely stay here again. For the low price of $60 we got a comfy, clean room steps from the beach. It is an old Florida style motel - one story except for the ocean view rooms...small little place, but very clean. It is not fancy at all- but plenty of seating and tables by the pool and on... More

The Dream Inn is a refreshing departure from the sterile highrise hotels and dives in Daytona, lending the feel of a private, tropical getaway and relaxation among the hub-bub. It fits perfectly with classic cars, if that makes sense. By that, I mean it doesn't have that new car smell or the latest gadgetry (despite having Wifi and many amenities),... More

As most, I do tons of research before choosing a location. This place kept popping up over and over, so I gave it a chance. The stay was wonderful. The location is perfect for beach access, a quick trip to Daytona, Ormond and I-95. The room was nice. The bed, pillows and linens were great and comfortable. The bathroom was... More

This sweet little hotel is on a lovely stretch of beach. Our room needed some attention to detail - the walls needed painting, carpet should be ripped up and replaced with tile - it looked and felt grungy, one of the cabinets in the kitchenette had the veneer ripped off - it just looked neglected. The beach/pool towels were awful,... More
