Clean and convenient to dining and shopping. Daytona Speedway about 20 minutes away. They have beach access and few places to sit/lounge and see the sunrise and observe the beach.

Great place to recharge for a solo getaway
I was there on a solo trip..just a one day getaway to unplug. It was just what I needed! The lady at the front desk was friendly and impressed me that she knew my name before I could tell her. The room was very clean, the beach was super accessible, and the privacy I was looking for. I will absolutely return for another solo getaway 😌

Cockroach Motel is more appropriate here!
Cockroaches!!! Definitely is NOT an 8.5 rating!!! VERY MISLEADING!!! Big, small, & everywhere!! They will NOT refund your money no matter what. They say they’re working on it, then in same breath say last week people left due to COCKROACHES & they still hadn’t done anything before my stay OR at least warn me prior to staying there!!! They relocated me, to a higher floor- still COCKROACHES. They offered no help sanitizing my belongings- I had to throw away most of my belongings in fear of carrying them home! Front desk said the manager- in California- would call me- It’s been 4 days, no call- so surprised, NOT. I told them I would give them time before leaving my review- they honestly do not care!!! They just want your money & expect you to deal with it. Poor, poor customer sensitivity & NOT satisfaction driven. Definitely not in business for the customer, their health or welfare!!! No wonder they’ve changed their name so many times, to outrun their reputation. DONT STAY HERE, you’ll save money by going to a more expensive hotel in the long run. Lesson learned, cheaper IS NOT better on any platforms in this case!!! I wished I would’ve taken pictures- I was too distraught in trying to protect myself- Never, never thought I would have to, front desk said she took pictures & sent them to her boss. I honestly thought they would have done the right thing… Very disappointed & saddened with humanity & the level of care or consideration represented at this Motel!!

Sandcastle is a smaller motel but it is clean and they have done alot of improvements this past year. Their pool has been reopened and you can also access the beach again. It is conveniently located to restaurants and the Eagles. We would stay there again if visiting the Daytona area.

Very comfortable and clean - a blast from the past
If you are looking for a big chain type hotel this is not your place. But if you want a clean and comfortable motel right on the beach this is it! We were thrilled with everything about this little gem. Check in was smooth, the room was clean and comfortable and we could see the ocean from the porch in front of our room. The motel is definitely old but that just added to the charm for us. It had the feeling of the old Daytona Beach we new as young adults (many years ago). Easy access to the beach and a pool on the property. We were able to walk the beach and view a spectacular sunrise. This was a stop on the way to Port Canaveral for a cruise and we will stay here again before future cruises. So glad we found it.

This was the dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed at in my life. The kitchen table and counter were sticky and visibly dirty. There were dirty dishes in the cupboard. The bathroom floor had not been mopped for a long time.

Okay but not during high rate times.
This a very clean but very dated place. It seems like the rooms have been recently painted. The door to our room was less than 3 feet from the bed and had a large crack that went around the top and one side of the door. Lots of outside smells getting in. The bathroom in our room was very new and very modern. This room normally goes for $85, but during Bike week and Supercross it was three times that price. Not worth that price, but worth a $100 at the most. Had a swimming pool and beach access. The parking is very limited. Not even enough parking for all who stay there. We had to call one night because of no place to park. Ended up parking across the street. I would stay here again but not for 3 times the normal price and I would definitely want a larger room.
