We traveled with our family of 7, for our first visit to Daytona Beach. The facility is clean and our room was great. We had a beautiful view of the ocean. There is a lot to do, onsite, as in pools, fitness center, arcade etc.
That is where the positives end.
Check in was a nightmare. When you arrive on the property, there is practically nowhere to park to check in. It was a traffic jam, as other guests were piling in, and others were trying to get out. We were pushed to hurry and get out of the way. Though it was our first time visiting, we got no information on the facility, amenities, procedures etc. It was basically, "Here are your bands, go park in the deck".
Which leads to my second issue: parking.
There is no parking lot. We were told to park in a deck, that is not adequate for golf carts, let alone SUVs. Also, the parking lot has a DEAD END, making it extremely stressful, when you reach that point, without finding a space to park.
There is a LOT of traffic in the deck, making exiting or entering difficult. The deck is too small, and has too much traffic. It was the most dangerous, stressful part of our vacation. You are constantly worried about hitting another car, or the wall, etc.
Finally we came in 2 vehicles. We had to park one vehicle across the street. This was an issue during check in. We couldnt unload our vehicles at the door....because of the traffic jam and being rushed by security. But when we pulled both vehicles into the deck, to unload....THERE WAS NOWHERE TO GO. We parked one vehicle and STOPPED THE OTHER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DECK TO UNLOAD IT.
To summarize. Good room, lots to do onsite
Check in and parking were unacceptable.
We will never come back.
