  wow I live here and and from what I saw in the papers not only was the hotel nasty and always has been you should check out the arrest reports The Daytona Beach News journal just did a story on the arrest of several people for child porn so yes is a nasty place to stay but that is not the biggest problems they are having. I have lived and Daytona for 30 years and as a child we loved the Desert Inn but now its nasty for many other reasons...   Read More

  This was the nastiest hotel I have ever been in. There was mold growing all over the floor, walls, bathroom, bedroom, kitchenette, pool (indoor and out) and the walls of the indoor pool. The bedding had not been changed, clearly dirty. The sliding glass door was latterly duct taped together holding pieces of glass together and holes in the drapery. Bugs were crawling all over the walls. I found a syringe in the kitchen. The door to the adjoining room did not lock. I would not even allow my children to walk barefooted on the floor because it was so nasty. Only one elevator worked. One game in the game room worked (which is in the garage and w/water dripping down on you). The business center they advertise is a joke the 2 computers were broke. At check-in I had to pay for the entire week up front and once I seen the room I asked for a refund and was denied; even after showing them the room conditions. We had no choice to stay that night but found another hotel the following day. So, I basically paid for 2 hotels that week, but I was not going to allow my children to stay there. The only way they could fix this place up is to tare it completely down and rebuild. Don’t look at these pictures and think it looks this way now because it doesn’t – maybe it did 50 years ago but not now. NASTY, NASTY, NASTY...   Read More

  I stayed at the Desrt Inn Hotel with a group of 20 during Biketober Fest 2008. The hotel staff at this facility did everything it could to make our stay a pleasant and enjoyable stay. They were under construction at the time and the room I requested on the first floor was not available when I got there so they gave me a suite on the first floor to accomodate us. My friends all had great clean nice rooms also. We spent nights at the patio bar by the pool where there was music and entertainment. When the rain set in we were able to keep our bikes out of the rain. The restaurant had very good food and the prices were better than a lot of places in the area. We have recommended this hotel to everyone who has gone back to Daytona since then and no one has come back and said anything negative about it....   Read More
