Royal Beach Motel

Embarrasing...

The hotel seem strange when I arrived and the front desk lights were off w/ the receptionist sitting in there w/ a fan and his shirt off. I went to Daytona for the night to hang out with an old friend. I got this room and thought it would be great (or at least a little better than nice) since on the beach. There wasn't any hot water to shower after I made the 4 hour drive there. The A/C was supposed to be on since I seen a fan blowing but the room didn't cool off after an hour. Once my friend arrived to the room w/ sandles on she took them off and we realized the room floor was wet. Needless to say we left the hotel right then and found another place. The front dest had a typed letter on the door by management stating the office would be closed and gave a number to contact for emergencies. I called it and the manager told me to contact hotels.com for a refund. I can't wait to see how that turns out.

Needs Improvement

Royal Beach is a small old motel which now calls itself a resort. It is located on the beach and is within five miles of anyplace you'd like to go in Daytona (Speedway, Flea Market, Mall, Restaurants, (2)Wal-Marts, Publix, Winn Dixie, Museum, Waterpark, and the Boardwalk. The location is great. Parking is limited for the number of rooms and there is a $3.00 a day charge. We stayed three days/two nights. Our room had a kitchenette. It did not face the beach, but had a nice view of the beach from the kitchenette. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Air conditioner, tv and refrigerator worked good. My biggest greif was the cleanliness of the room. Cabinets and draws dirty. Floor or carpet made my feet black with dirt. For what we paid I would possibly give this place another try. Always keeping in mind you get what you pay for.

Don't Expect Much

The place is really run down - the bathroom door literally fell of the hinges. House keeping came once on the second day of my visit - never to be seen again.

Very Basic

My room had no balcony, and the deadbolt didn't work. There is no pool. It is right on the beach, though. The room was clean. Long walk to the pier/boardwalk, but you can walk down the beach the whole way. If you're looking for very basic accomodations, this place is fine. The price is great, but you get what you pay for!

Where do I start?

The door didnt halfway lock, the shower didnt work at all, some pipe line was broken so water shot out the bottom of the shower? The motel itself was creepy...I woudnt recommend this hotel to anyone unless your desperate for a room for ONE night. The price was cheap but I shouldnt have had to pay at all.

lesson learned

the first thing extra charges to park , you got to be kiddin.turned on water came out black for 30 seconds. no t.v. remote,they didnt have one.shoulda read the reviews, live an learn. recommend that unless u absoulutly have no alternative dont stay here.to be fair was right on beach and a.c. was good ,otherwise a dump.

You Get What You Pay For!

Guys, you truly get what you pay for here. We didn't seek this hotel as part of a Spring Break plan, but as a last minute booking online. We really couldn't complain too much because we got a great rate for two nights. As a place to stop, park the car, and sleep, it met our expectations. We spent a lot of time out and about in Daytona, so we didn't have a real need for an extravagent room...so this place did alright. The carpet was dirty, and there was no control of the air conditioner. There was one overhead light and a broken ceiling fan. We had to tuck the corner of the curtain into the door of the room to keep it from opening. On a better note--the location was great. Right down the road from everything with easy parking. It seemed pretty safe, and the office staff was cool. There was a little "used-to-be" party patio that opened to the backyard of the hotel, then through a gate straight to the beach. Very cool! Check in and check out was very easy, and they gave us a cool map that we used throughout the day around Daytona. Don't expect the royal treatment...but don't disregard this place as a potential short-term stay while rolling through Daytona Beach.

Wouldn't EVER STAY HERE

The door on our room wouldn't open with the key. We had to go to the manager to get him to open it. When we got in, the curtains wouldn't close. The room smelled awful. We didn't stay at the hotel, nor did they offer to refund our money for being dissatisfied.

It was filthy! Do not stay there.

Needs extreme makeover. Great location. Needs to hire house keeping. Our room had dust, dirt, mold(bathrrom and window), former occupants clothing under bed. Bathroom need severe cleansing. A cement brick was sitting inour room for no reason. It was awful. Pay an extra $30.00 to go somewhere else. Needs cleaning from top to bottem and left to right,
