Great place. Management was very friendly. They upgraded us to a king sized suite free of charge. Clean environment and stay was very affordable. I'd stay there again. There's also an excellent red lobster that is walking distance from the hotel.

We chose this hotel based on reviews here on trip advisor. Needless to say, they were misleading. It was described and rated with 4 stars and that's what we were expecting. Upon arrival, the rooms are very dated. You can see where sheetrock had been patched and seams in sheetrock were coming apart. The rooms were much smaller than expected.... More

Thank you for writing a review it would have been nice to hear from you while you were staying here I could have upgraded you to an oceanfront room to make your stay more enjoyable.

I stayed at the Dream Inn in May 2013 for 2 nites. I got a room on the 2nd floor that had a deck right out the door with table/chairs and 2 lounges. The room was an oceanview one and the windows in the room opened and since it was cool at night I was able to leave them open... More

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
