We made a last minute reservation at the Sun Viking. We have been going to Daytona for 25 years and never stayed here. From now on, this will be the ONLY place we stay. What great people and a wonderful location. Thank you.

We stayed at the Sun Viking many years ago and so we hoped it would be as good as it was then. However, although the outside is well kept and very clean, the rooms could have been better. They were tired looking and not as clean as they should have been. The pull out couch had a mattress that felt... More

Beautiful room (tower) overlooking the beach. Heated pools that are well maintained by an amazing staff. Suites are comfortable for the whole family. Housekeeping staff is very good. Beach traffic (car) is quiet during this time of year.

It was so nice to read that this family enjoyed their stay with us this month. Thank you for rating us so high in all the categories.

I booked this room for 2 reasons: high trip advisor reviews & the fact it could comfortably hold 5 adults. When we arrived we were a little shocked...the rooms were extremely old. The front room (when you first open the door) had two beds, then you walked through the bathroom area, then at the back was the pull out couch,... More

When you own and operate a motel, your goal is always to make your guests happy; unfortunately, sometimes we fall short. So first, I would like to apologize to these guests for not enjoying their stay with us. I can certainly understand that when we are compared to a National luxury resort like the Wyndham which is also a time-share... More

It is always a pleasure to get a review by a repeat guest. Reading that this family stayed with us last August and the past 4 summers warms our hearts. Family time is so important, especially in this hectic world; the kids will always remember the good times they spent together as a family during their beachside vacations. These memories... More

As a motel owner, we always hope that everything is perfect for our guests as they arrive and during their stay with us. Unfortunately, as Murphy’s Law would have it, occasionally things pop up unexpectedly. As you might have guessed by reading this review, this guest was very gracious in waiting the additional 20 minutes while we addressed a minor... More

When we arrived, the door to our room couldn't be opened, due a new door that was installed previously, the lock was messed up. That room was a lesser priced room, they gave us a very nice, larger room with full kitchen, no extra charge. Thank goodness there was another room available, it was spring break.

This is a perfect example of how wonderful our guests are; they completely understood our dismay when finding out, that the newly installed door and lock in the room that was reserved for them, did not work. Of course, this happened when we were almost 100% sold out; a perfect example of Murphy’s Law! Luckily we did have another room... More
