Hilton Garden Inn Daytona Beach Oceanfront

Location. Front desk very helpful. Walk across the pool deck, down the stairs and you’re in the beach. Comfy beds and pillows.

Nothing

Accessibility. The rooms were clean and surprisingly updated.

It had an odor upon arrival. It smelled like they have pets that stay

The location is excellent. The room with a balcony and ocean view is a dream.

We appreciated the pet-friendly nature of the hotel, however the staff was not knowledgeable of the portion of the beach that was pet-friendly. The welcome staff was friendly, and even though we were told our room would be ready early, it was not ready until 3:50pm. We arrived to the area early to eat lunch on the beach and contacted the hotel to inquire about early check-in or using the facilities. They said we could come early and it was 1:30p at the time. We were not informed about pets not being allowed in the pool area until after arrival, which was unfortunate as that meant I had to wait in the lobby while my family enjoyed the pool area. This was an important piece of information that could have shaped the weekend stay in a more positive way, but set it up negatively.

Pet friendly facility, however the portion of the beach where we stayed was NOT pet-friendly. We could only walk our dog around the parking lot and a small portion of the hotel. Our dachshund was not allowed in the pool area and we found out quickly after walking the beach, when approached by the local sheriff that the portion of the beach we were walking was not friendly for animals. The sheriff was very kind and understanding of our misinformation and allowed us to make the short walk back to the hotel. There was a towel shortage that was quite inconvenient. The beds were very firm and box-springs may have been more comfortable. It took the room quite some time to cool down and the water pressure was non-existent. For more than $200/night, plus the $84 pet fee, I expected much more. Breakfast was not included and it was $60 for four. One alcoholic beverage from the bar was $24 before tip.
