Very comfortable and clean - a blast from the past

Posted Mar. 27, 2024 on Hotels
If you are looking for a big chain type hotel this is not your place. But if you want a clean and comfortable motel right on the beach this is it! We were thrilled with everything about this little gem. Check in was smooth, the room was clean and comfortable and we could see the ocean from the porch in front of our room. The motel is definitely old but that just added to the charm for us. It had the feeling of the old Daytona Beach we new as young adults (many years ago). Easy access to the beach and a pool on the property. We were able to walk the beach and view a spectacular sunrise. This was a stop on the way to Port Canaveral for a cruise and we will stay here again before future cruises. So glad we found it.

Such a great little motel to stay in. Yes it's a little dated but it's very cozy. Staff was very attentive and friendly.

This was the dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed at in my life. The kitchen table and counter were sticky and visibly dirty. There were dirty dishes in the cupboard. The bathroom floor had not been mopped for a long time.

Okay but not during high rate times.

Posted Mar. 3, 2024 on Hotels
This a very clean but very dated place. It seems like the rooms have been recently painted. The door to our room was less than 3 feet from the bed and had a large crack that went around the top and one side of the door. Lots of outside smells getting in. The bathroom in our room was very new and very modern. This room normally goes for $85, but during Bike week and Supercross it was three times that price. Not worth that price, but worth a $100 at the most. Had a swimming pool and beach access. The parking is very limited. Not even enough parking for all who stay there. We had to call one night because of no place to park. Ended up parking across the street. I would stay here again but not for 3 times the normal price and I would definitely want a larger room.

Dear Kerry,Thanks for sharing your feedback. It's great to hear that you appreciated the cleanliness of our place and the fresh vibe in the bathroom. We totally get that our retro style might not be everyone's cup of tea, but we think it adds a bit of charm and character to the place. Sorry to hear about the door issue - we've taken note of this. Also, noted your comments on the parking situation. We're always working on improving things for our guests.Glad you'd consider coming back - we'd love to welcome you again! And who knows, maybe next time you'll get a chance to try one of our larger rooms!Kind Regards,Sand Castle Motel Team

Cleanliness the main issue. Overpriced for the conditions.
