Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Daytona Beach

We were there for 2 nights and called at 2 pm asking for a slight early check in on 5/31 Sunday. We were told they were full the previous night and we would have to wait. We called again @ 2:30, 3, 3:30 - same answer. Great response for Rewards member... We arrive about 4 pm and still no rooms. At 4:15, Emily offers us a " King Premium Oceanfront Balcony" on the 3rd floor overlooking the parking lot and I can see there will be a bright spotlight all night. We declined it and she found us a room on the 6th floor. Full house on a weekend and one of the two elevators out of order,??? Positives and Negatives: 1. The rooms are a good size and nicely renovated. A few dark spots by the bureau, but pleasant. 2. Bathroom is well appointed and well lit. 3. We had to call for maintenance because the bed side plugs were not working. Prompt response from an attentive engineer. 4. Some makeup stains on the pillow case - we called the desk and advised only. They changed it the next day. 5. Housekeeper was very friendly and cordial, even though one could see they were having LONG DAYS. Full house on a weekend and one of the two elevators out of order??? 6. It started to rain and we ate in the restaurant. Kimberly was wonderful - very few customers... 7. We also had breakfast the next day and it was pleasant and well prepared. 8. Priscilla at checkout had a GREAT attitude and smile and even gave us a card offer a review. I know this business and industry, having been in it my entire career. The review title says it all: Great location, good intentions, not quite there..

Very friendly and well located. Specifically liked our complimentary yoga class every morning at 10:30 AM near the swimming pool. So peaceful!!

Laurie & Emily were so friendly! Such wonderful women you have at Holiday Inn!
