Holiday Inn Express & Suites Oceanfront Daytona Beach Shores, an IHG Hotel - Hotel in Daytona Beach Shores - 3301 S Atlantic Ave, USA

We had such a lovely experience at this hotel. Our room was available an hour before the official check in. All of the hotel staff were extremely friendly. Our room was very clean and very cold upon entering. The beds were comfortable. We had a great night's sleep. The view was spectacular! The pool is under repair from hurricane damage two years ago, and the beach access is immediately next door. I overheard that everything should be back to normal in September. A liquor store is right across the street. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The grocery store is less than a mile away. I would recommend this hotel every time.

Breakfast was really good. There were hundreds of us here for a conference and you never had to worry about them running out of anything. There are several options to choose from. Nice views from the balcony. The rooms were nice. The thing I was most impressed with was the staff. Even with all of these kids running around they still smiled, they weren’t overwhelmed, they were polite. All around this was an awesome experience.

This location has beautiful views of the ocean. The lobby is very nice, the staff is very friendly and the rooms are freshly renovated. The pool is being repaired which was no big deal. Who needs a pool when you have a beautiful beach and ocean. I would have given the hotel five stars, but the breakfast was sub par. I eat HIE breakfast over 180 days a year and they are all the same, eggs, biscuits, gravy, pork sausage and turkey sausage. After four days of being here they alternated between scrambled eggs and the cheese omelet. They only had turkey sausage, and never had biscuits and gravy. I would definitely return to this location.

My husband and I spent 5 nights here. Our room was on the second floor. It wasn't anything fancy, and we've stayed in better but it was good enough. We thought the bed slept fine, the shower was hot and had plenty of pressure, there wasn't noise that could be heard from other rooms, the TV worked great. The cleaning service came when requested and made the bed and brought clean towels. Breakfast couldn't be complained about, we thought there were plenty of choices and the staff working it were very nice and kept everything cleaned and stocked. There is still no pool as it got destroyed in the last big hurricane and there were workers there every day. You also have to go next door to use that property's stairs to get down to the beach. The rental of two beach chairs, an umbrella and a table is $50 which we decided we weren't willing to pay since we would only be using for a couple of hours. (Pretty sure it only cost half that when we were there 3 years ago but oh well.) Overall we did enjoy our stay. Plenty of places to eat and things to do around there and we would go back again and stay at this hotel.

We stayed here about a year ago right after the hurricane hit. The staff was so friendly and outgoing and the views were incredible. We loved that all the rooms face the ocean with a balcony and was right on the beach. Very reasonable rates and sleeping to the sounds of the waves and watching sunrises is a memory we won’t forget. Our room was very clean and comfortable.

I had a last minute trip come up that brought me to the area. The price of an Airbnb with all the fees attached plus not being able to stay on the beach wasn’t an option this time around. I kept looking around for a few days, and then this hotel popped up for a very reasonable price right on the beach with an ocean view that was not far over the bridge. My dad lives south of here so being on the south end of Daytona was ideal for us. There was a small parking fee, but there was always parking and it was easy to come and go. The pool was under construction while we were there being redone which kind of stunk, but we did have the beach. It honestly was so hot we didn’t even last long outside. Our room was clean, but my one complaint would be around whatever was sprayed to give a fresh smell. It was just a bit too strong. I like fresh, but without a side of headache. Other than that, the air worked great and gave a white noise sound helping us to sleep. The ocean balcony was so relaxing and nice. The water pressure in the shower was strong. There was a mini fridge, microwave, and Keurig with several options, and a normal size dryer that was detached opposed to those small ones that smell like they are about to catch fire in 2 seconds. There was also a free breakfast that I found quite impressive. There were options for several different eating habits (healthy, gluten free, and “I don’t care”). They had egg white omelettes with some small veggies (very good), another egg option (one day scrambled and another was an egg omelette with cheese), several meat options, toasts/bagels/muffins, fresh pancakes, cinnamon rolls, gluten free options (I didn’t pay much attention), boiled eggs, yogurts, cereal, etc. I was impressed, and it was delicious. People were quite savage for the bacon. The beach access is to the side of the hotel. There are public restrooms available, and a shower to wash off which was conveniently located for us. Walking on the beach was fun in the evening. We got to see an amazing moon that night! I was told by a member of staff you can get $150 ticket for using your phone flashlight on the beach at night because of the sea turtles. I can’t remember now if it was because they won’t come ashore due to the light or something to do with them hatching and going to the water. Anyway, something to be mindful of. The staff was very nice. Everything was very easy. I would stay here again.

I have no complaints about the room what so ever, the room was really clean, it smelled fresh, the sheets were fresh as well. The tub was not stained and I felt really comfortable. The location is prefect and the ocean view was amazing. The only thing I hated about the hotel was the parking , I arrived late and had to park across the street because there was no parking left, we were given a parking pass though but I guess it was just the idea that each night we stayed we didn’t have a parking spot. Overall I enjoyed my stay , and i would definitely book this hotel again , in hopes that the parking situation is better

This hotel was just meh. We stayed for one night while we waited to check into our house rental. The hotel is still being renovated from hurricanes from prior years. No pool our outdoor area other than the balconies, although it seems that many hotels/condos along this strip still were not fully back to 100% yet and also didn’t have pool areas open. The room was very small. Difficult to get the luggage cart in the door. Air conditioning didn’t work well and only cooled part of the room. There were hairs, not ours, in the bathroom and the refrigerator was not working properly as it had at least 2” of ice on the backside. We defrosted it ourselves, but the front desk desk did offer to replace it if needed. Breakfast was free and had decent choices. The location is amazing!!! Right on the beach and close to everything. The beach was not over crowded and rentals available right there. Overall, this was ok for just the overnight we needed but would not recommend for any longer.
