“Don't listen to the bad reviews.....they are great!”

Atlantic Ocean Palm Inn

May 29, 2008

I will tell you that I have been going here for 7 years now. They are always clean which is the most important thing to me. Most of the staff is very friendly. There is a guy that just doesn't talk too much which is fine. I don't take it as him being rude, he's just quiet. They have ALWAYS treated my family & myself very well. There is normally anywhere from 7 to 10 people in my family that come down to this hotel every year. I'm a VERY picky person as far as a room being clean and it meets my standards. In fact I have a 3, 2, & a 9 month old and they were crawling all over the room and it was clean enough for me to not worry about it. We were actually going down with some other family members and they were staying at another motel and I thought that we'd go ahead and stay down with them. I read some reviews on here about the other motel having a roach problem. There was NO way that I was staying in that kind of place. Even though I lost our $200 deposit I went ahead and called Atlantic Ocean Palm Inn. Thankfully they got all of us in. I have NEVER seen any roaches or bugs for that matter in this place. I will always stay here I guarantee that! It's like a home away from home!

“Did not pass MY White Glove test!!!!!!!!!”

Atlantic Ocean Palm Inn

3 of 5 stars
Leesburg, FL
May 15, 2008

I read where they were nominated for a White Glove award. Not by my standards, it was kind of smelly. Another "non-smoking" room that reeked of stale cigarette smoke. The A/C was just squealing, even on low. The bed made a terrible noise because it was a king mattress on top of a wooden box. Big rooms with a complete kitchen.The place did have a great location, great view, grounds were clean and tidy. The desk clerk was sullen and never smiled once, very abrupt with us, no welcome there. She just shoved things at us to be signed and her kids were screaming upstairs. But, don't take it out on your clients, please.
I would not stay there ever again. Not worth the money.

“Christmas at the Beach”

Atlantic Ocean Palm Inn

5 of 5 stars
HarrisburgPA
Jan 5, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

My sister and I decided at the last minute to drive south from PA with the dog for Christmas. We were able to book a room for the week by talking to Erica at about midnight on the Saturday before Christmas. She was very helpful & friendly. We arrived Christmas Eve to find a perfectly clean, fresh efficiency room on the first floor with 2 comfortable beds and a tile floor that was perfect for Baxter. There were several other folks with their dogs and everyone was very friendly.
The front desk clerk recommended Auntie Catfish's for dinner that evening & we had a wonderful meal. The Cracked Egg Diner across the street had a Christmas dinner buffet that was very good & we ate breakfast there most days.
Would recommend this very highly to pet owners and anyone else who prefers a smaller inn with friendly, personal service.
The oceanfront location, sundeck and pool are perfect for a rlaxing vacation at the beach.

“dont waste your money!”

Atlantic Ocean Palm Inn

Oct 24, 2007
1/4 found this review helpful

This motel was not what we expected!! My sister and I came to daytona beach for the first time to visit some realtives in September for 3 days and I choose to come here because the rooms looked decent, clean and bright online.. instead we had a MUSTY, SMOKEY room!! and the view was horrible. I wasnt happy at all for what I paid for!! ( I now know to do more shopping around before I pick one place that i thought had reasonable rates but then came to find out I could've got something way more updated and cleaner some place else ) theres no private balconies! The staff were ok, but their male manager was rude and we kinda felt like he was watching over us constantly over by the pool. one of my biggest issues were the rooms were not updated at all! One thing for sure is their pictures are very decieving...I wouldnt recommend this dump at all to anyone!

Management Response
hoteldaytona, Manager
(Management representative)
Nov 4, 2007
As a representative of the Atlantic Ocean Palm Inn, I am very disappointed to see that a guest had an unsatisfactory experience at our property. We strive to provide our guests with clean and comfortable accommodations. When a guest is unhappy and it brought to the attention of any one of our staff, we try to remedy the situation immediately. A musty room is certainly not inviting, however it occasionally occurs due to our climate. IF an "odor" complaint is brought to our attention, we do have a mechanical device that can clean out an unwanted odor in a very short amount of time.

Our property is very well maintained. We do have common balconies, not private balconies. We do not and have not ever claimed to have private balconies. Our property is located directly on the beach and each room does have a view of the ocean. Our photos on our website are very current and clearly depict what a guest can expect when arriving at our property.

Our rates are very competitive for the Daytona Beach area and we do provide excellent and affordable accommodations. We are AAA approved and members of other associations with very stringent guidelines regarding the upkeep of the establishment and cleanliness.

We are constantly maintaining and enhancing our property to keep up with our guests needs. We openly welcome any suggestions.

When a guest brings any issue to our attention, management takes each and every matter seriously. We try to resolve each situation in a timely manner. However, we must be made aware of any issues in order to correct them.

Thank you,
Erica Obrochta

“Cute hotel”

Atlantic Ocean Palm Inn

Jul 16, 2007
2/3 found this review helpful

Me and my boyfriend stayed there from July 11-July 13th. The outside looked pretty bad compared to the other hotels on the strip but I was confident with the Jacuzzi Suite room I booked so I didn't care. It was very nice. We had room 301 on the 3rd floor. Got a complimentary gift bag with 2 Venus Breeze razors, gum, pepto bismol, Axe shower gel and spray for my boyfriend and a razor for him too. Thought that was very nice. Walked in the room and immediately noticed it smelled of lavender. Nice touch! It was VERY clean and the decor was nice. My only complaint was that checkout was at 12p and we decided we would check out at 11a and just swim for the rest of the day and then head home. I asked the front desk girl if it would be okay if we left the car in the parking lot but she said they had a lot of reservations that day and that the owner wouldn't like it. Mmmkay then. I should've said nevermind, we're gonna go swimming and then checkout at 12p then. LOL. Anyway, nice hotel. Paid around $150 a night though and I didn't think it was worth it for the money. It's only a 3 floor hotel and would've loved to stayed in a huge 8-12 story one. I looked online and some of those are cheaper. Ah well. Nice trip though.
