Hilton Garden Inn Daytona Beach Oceanfront
Found some sort of drug pipe in the bed. Room wasn't very clean. Pictures online are misleading.

Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach
Great place to stay in Daytona. The other guest is my complaint. Older men taking over the pool area and blasting explicit music from their own speakers over the already great rock music that the hotel plays around the pool (and in the water!). I can’t believe they let those guys do that every day ...

Perry's Ocean Edge Resort
The room had a bad smell! Almost like it hadn't been used in awhile. Dead bugs in the corners. Tile floors were sandy (I get it's the beach.) Hotel needs alot of work! I paid WAY too much for the quality I received. Probably won't be back.
