I have owned a timeshare here since 1981. I noticed today that it only averaged 3 stars on Yelp,…read moreand wondered why. So, I read all the reviews. I noticed that most of the one-star reviews are outdated, and no longer accurate from before the significant remodeling and change in management. Even most of those were the typical angry knee-jerk one-star reactions caused by a negative interaction with a staff member, or the fact that they were inconvenienced by specific incidences like the pool being closed due to being under repair. Those reactions might or might not have been accurate, and justified at the time, but the issues I read have all been rectified via remodeling, or management changes. This review is from the end of 2024, and all available rooms have been freshly remodeled with an open room concept. The majority of rooms come in two slightly different sizes. The even numbered rooms are slightly larger rooms, while even number rooms are slightly smaller. All rooms with numbers ending in 12 or under are beachfront rooms with balconies. Those ending in 13 or above are beach view rooms with balconies (except for rooms ending in 17), facing the Andy Romano Beachfront Park. There are those that like the south facing, sun bathing time balconies of the numbered rooms ending in 13-16. I personally love the view from any of the beachfront units, numbered rooms ending in 1-12. There are two available elevators, centrally located, as well as two sets of stairs at both ends of the L shaped building. The front desk is staffed 24/7, but the front door is locked in the evening, requiring room key access. There is also a gated side entry door and the beach stairs gated entry, both require room key access. All rooms have kitchenettes that include a refrigerator, microwave, stove/oven, sink, and lots of cupboard space. The kitchens have a full complement of dishes, glassware, cooking utensils, etc. The bathroom has power ventilation, a sink/vanity, toilet and walk-in shower. Rooms have a closet, a dresser with plenty of drawers, a sleeper sofa, a table with four chairs, a modern cable and internet streaming capable good size TV on the wall and a queen size bed. There is a/c, heating, and Wi-Fi available throughout the facilities, including the rooms. Each room has a balcony with a couple of small plastic chairs and a table. The facility has a good size heated outdoor swimming pool, indoor hot tub, and small gym. There are changing rooms in that area, as well as an outdoor grill area. There are plenty of lounges and tables with umbrellas on the pool deck. Beach access via gated stairs is available from the pool deck or via the Milsap beach ramp directly adjacent to the property. Most week days there also is some limited social activity available for children, and/or adults. Most of the rooms allow two to four occupants, although they do have a limited amount of rooms that can hold up to eight guests. Smoking is not allowed in the rooms, or at the facilities, except on the balconies, and in the parking lot. Speaking of parking, during high occupancy periods, parking can be challenging, but they do have an agreement for overflow parking across the street, in the rear parking lot of the Beachside Restaurant. Pets and emotional support animals are not allowed on the property. Official documented service animals, by law, are. There are multiple restaurants within easy walking distance, with modern traffic caution lighted crosswalks to safely get across the often busy five lane A1A. Many gift shops are in the area, as well as a shopping center within a half mile that has multiple stores, including a Publix, Walgreens, and UPS Store. The beach is the typical hard pack, walk-able, drive-able beach of the Daytona area. Directly south of the property is the Andy Romano Beachfront Park, which does not allow cars, so it is safer for children. The park has restroom facilities with modern plumbing, picnic tables, a small padded playground, and an in season children's splash pad. This is an older former hotel building, but with over all good upkeep, and plenty of new remodeling. The manager and staff are all competent, professional, accommodating, and friendly. I unreservedly give my full recommendation to this property for a beach vacation.

Unfortunately, my experience at check-in was disappointing. The front desk representative, Devonee, declined my federal military ID and requested my driver's license instead. Once she explained that she needed specific information from my driver's license, I understood and had no issue providing it. What bothered me was her attitude throughout the interaction. When I asked if she needed the vehicle's make and model, she responded, "It's on there, isn't it?" in a dismissive and rude tone. From the beginning of the check-in process, she came across as impatient and unfriendly, despite her shift having just started. I had already been waiting for my room, so I was hoping for a welcoming experience. The property itself was great, but the customer service at check-in did not reflect the level of hospitality I expected. I hope management addresses this, as a courteous and respectful interaction can make a significant difference in a guest's stay.

Beautiful views from our room. We even saw fireworks Friday night!…read more Full size refrigerator and electeic stove. We used the fridge, but not the stove. Wifi was solid, we were working during our stay. Room was clean, but a little dated. Not enough USB charging ports or plugs for two of us to easily work from the room. Every time you got in/out of bed you heard a sound like metal popping when expanding. Our room was on the 10th floor. While we loved sitting outside and the gorgeous views, we were plagued with wasps. We thought there was a nest on the roof, but maintenance said no. That wasps come to the top floor when its hot, and that we should just keep the door closed. So, maybe don't get a top floor room if you want to go on the balcony when its hot out. Parking is tough if you have a full size SUV or truck. There is overflow parking across the street, and they claim they've never had a break in. But personally, I would not want to park over there.

Their website was confusing so I called the Inn to see what rooms were available for our visit. He explained that there was a third floor suite still open so I asked if I should just book it on the website to avoid having to spell out every required detail to him. The person said yes and so I proceeded to do it. I got a confirmation but like the website it said waiting list. I've never seen a property of any kind use this terminology. Because I just spoke with a rep of The Inn, I assumed everything was OK. After a long drive, we finally arrived and I went to check in. The woman put our name in the computer and she looked up at me confused. "Can it be under another name?" As she continued to stare at the computer I said look you don't have our reservation right? And you are fully booked correct? She said yes. I'm like why are you wasting my time looking at the computer if you have no resolution to this problem. I showed my confirmation on my phone and she said well that just means you got on a waiting list. I was like WTf? Seriously. If you are using such an absolutely convoluted process, why don't you follow up and tell guests that they cannot honor the reservation BEFORE they make the journey to get to your property? As we left in frustration, she said "have a nice day." It was clearly a facetious statement, which just added to our frustration and anger over this event. We were 7 hours away from home. It was 3:30 pm on a Saturday. What in the world do we do now??? I started looking for alternative lodging. It took a long time, and we paid well above our budget, but we found a property in Daytona Beach. Frankly, I couldn't believe the high ratings after seeing The Inn firsthand. It was literally squeezed into a tiny patch of land next to a major 4 lane bridge. It was nothing like what was described in the reviews. You folks are not fit to manage a place like this. We will never ever consider your place for future lodging and will inform as many people as we can to avoid your business.

Part of it, I think, is bc there is a dehumidifier that was full when we got there and apparently has to be emptied every day (this wasn't even mentioned anywhere, not even in the check in paperwork). It had mold on the inside too. They also do not allow towels to be hind to dry on the outside railing which I think is why there was mold all over the kitchen chairs. There is nowhere to hang extra wet towels (beach towels) inside. There was also a fine coating of "dirt" on the bed in the second bedroom which I think came from the ac unit right next to the bed. The only windows in the master bedroom are at the top of the wall.

The place was so dirty and dusty, we then had to clean up before we could put anything down. We arrived on a Sunday so of course the office was closed. The TV did not work, outlets were not working, there were lamps with no bulbs and if I had to pay a cleaning fee, they are for sure not doing their job. I do not recommend this place and would make sure you check in when they are open.
