Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort, Daytona Beach

ok, i would rather stay back at the Hampton Daytona Beach where we stayed 1 nite since we arrived early over a full service Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront what a couple days its been, our south valet pickup area is closed so we have had to walk 2 blocks to the north valet, just an in convince to run out to dinner, room wasnt cleaned yesterday, i go to get a luggage cart and am told i cannt have one since we are full service..... so now i wait for a full service cart.... seems the southend of this Hilton could use some updating, if you can get around staff attitudes youll be ok, if not look else where, valet guys are great!! i agree with the self parking pay the extra to try to avoid the aggravation of stuff being stolen.. giving 3 star for average but really wanting to hit poor since it is a Hilton.....

Be very careful of letting them park your vehicle.. This is what happen to mine while there and they are denying that they did anything and can't do nothing about it. If the hotel wants to call get with your valet manager WINGO he has my number..They even looked at the camera's and said on the first video there was no damage and it was not on the check in sheet too..But the second video they said they could not see it clear enough to tell..Was to grainy..yeah right. All I know is the damage was not there when I brought it in.. Thanks Daytona Hilton

I stayed 3 nights for a conference. I LOVED the thermostats in each room and quiet A/C units. Great pillowtop beds, lovely views, gorgeous lobby and rooms, updated and very clean. Windows opened to get the ocean air. AAAHHH! Good coffee makers (great Italian coffee) and hair dryers in the rooms. Good sturdy wooden hangers and a robe to use. Good valet service. Hyde Park restaurant was excellent -- best fried calamari I've ever had, great service. Other restaurants were good, too. The hotel was packed and yet the rooms were quiet. On the negative side, the bathrooms were cramped -- had to step around the toilet and close the door each time you entered or you could not turn around. There was a separate sink outside the bathroom too, like a Hollywood bath, which helped, but they should have installed pocket doors. The self-park lot is like 3 blocks away. They need more help at the main desk -- the wait time was pretty long for a nice hotel. Only 2 people working the desk at one time and the place is very big and busy. It is one of the biggest hotel I've ever been in, and I'm fairly well traveled. Overall a great experience and I plan to go back.

The Hilton should live up to its name! First, I must say the staff is very friendly, that is what would make you want to return to the Hilton, otherwise, the furniture in the lobby should be updated. It appears they bought it at the flea market. Its a shame the name Hilton would have furniture that was scary to sit on, especially the green chairs! Also, please update your rooms and the bathrooms, not pretty at all, once again the name Hilton is a world known name why lower its standards! The Resort is built in a perfect location. Restaurents were all 5 stars at the Hilton! We had a great time, please update your rooms and lobby furniture, the resort is beautiful but should live up to its name Hilton Daytona Beach Resort!

My family and I stayed at your hotel recently while in Daytona Beach for a dance competiton. While we had a wonderful time in Daytona Beach, we were disappointed in some of the services at your hotel. On two days of our stay, the room was not cleaned and we did not get fresh towels. The first time, I contacted the desk at about 4:00 p.m. to see if it had simply been overlooked. I was assured that the hotel was extremely busy and it would be taken care of as soon as possible. It was never cleaned. The second time it was not cleaned, we were out of the room the entire day for competition activities and did not return until evening. By that time we got back we decided not to bother because we were going to bed soon. We also had to request an extra towel one day because we only had two bath towels for a room with three occupents. In addition, we were not able to get beach towels on one day of our stay. Instead we were give small, hand towels to take to the beach. I understand the hotel was busy, but yours is not an inexpensive hotel and we paid for these expected basic services and did not receive them.

I went to Daytona beach couple days ago and my daughter forget her shoes with other two bthings from my stuff.I appreciate their immediate support and active co-operation with their department of LOST &FOUND . I want to say how fast they send my stuff with urgent mail .I'm so happy with their immediate respond and that was a surprise for me. Thanks for the housekeepers who were honest and positive that did their search with great results just to keep their residents satisfy even after they left the hotels .

If you choose an on-line upgraded room selection, confirm the price of the room at time of check-in, regardless of "hotel policy". We were charged for an upgrade we didn't request. If you self-park your vehicle, make sure everything you have is on wheels. There are no luggage carts available for you to use. They are all for the "bell-hops" - who you have to tip.

We were married on Saturday the 25th on Treasure Island. For our honeymoon we decided to go to Daytona Beach on the East coast. We checked into our 300 dollar a night room at 7pm. We had this amazing balcony on the 9th floor. After looking outside for a few minutes my new bride and I went for a walk. When we arrived back at the room. we noticed that things were not as we left them and someone was in our room. We called security and made a statement after taking inventory and finding my wife's wedding jewelry was missing. We put a claim in with the hotel and found out a month later that WE were liable for our stuff and were told, when they denied the claim and stated it was our fault and even had the audacity to say "we probably didn't care very much about this stuff and that's why we left it in the room". Well this is my thought, that my stuff should be safe in a room that had no safe and is an upscale hotel. They destroyed our honeymoon and have been very rude to say the least. Be advised....stay at your own risk......literally. We have spoken to lots of people but all deaf ears and can only recommend you travel here at your own risk and I for one will not stay at another Hilton owned or operated hotel.

The hotel appears nice from the outside, minus the area it's in. The general area is not family friendly, particularly for young children. It is located on the beach which is nice, however right across the street is a large convention center which had over 3,000 attendees the night we were there. That meant 2,000 teenagers who were roaming the halls (since they weren't allowed to go into the other gender's rooms) until midnight. The walls may as well be made out of paper. It is LOUD. Everything you would expect to be a typical convenience is a pain. At night, your car is a block away from the North tower, so plan on walking. Not to mention, it's costing you $10 per night to park in a fenced lot in an area you'd probably rather not leave the car overnight. Daytime it's fine, night is another story. Plan on emptying your vehicle of everything. The valets could not be nicer and are the one redeeming attribute of this hotel. I decided to upgrade to valet parking after hiking back from the other pay lot. $18 is steep, plus tips to the valets, but not as expensive as a broken window or lost contents from the unsecure lot (it is fenced on 3 sides). Check in was a pain, they suggested I go somewhere until my other party members arrived since the rooms were in their name. It took 30 minutes to get them to verify that I was the other occupant of the two room reservation. The Room: The room was not clean. Bathroom had not been cleaned, we called and they sent someone right away. The middle sink was clogged and would not drain. Told them the next morning, by that evening they had drained it but then you still could not use it because they had not cleared the clog. Lamp was broken, you literally had to plug it in if you wanted it on and unplug it if you wanted it off, there was no switch. No fridge, no microwave. Ice machine down the hall so plan on icing and re-icing. Old tv, even the Hampton Inn we stayed at on the way to Florida had a flat panel, this was an old CRT like the one you keep in your basement and try not to watch. Everthing was rusting from being on the ocean, the grout had stains, the caulk in the bathroom needed to be redone. Just not a pleasant room or experience. Finally the bill was wrong, my upgrade to valet parking after 1 time in the other lot resulted in a double charge for parking that day. The ocean room that I had not requested resulted in a $10 upcharge that at check in I was told was complimentary. They fixed the bill with no argument, but I was trying to get an early start and spending 20 minutes at the south end counter when I am at the North tower is an inconvenience. No luggage carts unless you want the bellhop with it. I am glad people liked this hotel in 2005 and 2006, but today, in 2010, it's a shadow of what it could be. It is not nice, not quiet, not restful or enjoyable and honestly was the worst experience I have ever had at a Hilton. You don't even get a continental breakfast, even for Hhonors rewards members. We saw a Hampton Inn a couple miles to the south and really wished we had made the reservations there, it had it's own parking lot and probably included breakfast. Same company, supposed to be an upgrade compared to the Hampton, but this just wasn't. This hotel has missed the mark completely. Everything was an inconvenience. Just trying to get the elevator to recognize your room key so you can get back to your room. Several guests were having the same problem. The other party we were with, their room locked them out and the maid out completely. New keys and even then it was spotty. If this is the way Hilton operates, it won't be long before this area is like most of the hotels and restaurants we saw at Daytona beach were, closed or empty. If you're into tattoos, bikers, loud cars, and a town that looks like the inner city, then this is the place for you. If you're expecting a resort, or the gulf coast, go elsewhere.

My husband and I just got back from our week in Florida and this being one of the hotels we stayed at for the last part of our vacation we were really looking forward to it being relaxing. (We came from the Disney Hilton) First off I want to say the Staff was extremely polite; valet, bell boy, front desk, waitresses and beach store. We got there a couple of hours early and got checked in right away. We ate in the sports bar most nights accept for going to Outback one night and Sloppy Joes another. The food was good and the room was clean. Okay so now for some not so great qualities in this hotel...not sure what the difference between oceanview and oceanfront is but we booked an oceanfront for 171 a night and not sure there really was a difference between the two so go for the view instead of front when you book. As soon as we walked into the room I should've asked for another one because it had an adjoining door...not good! Around 7 one morning we heard our neighbor singing and whistling. The next day it was a small child and the big finally was the party of girls that kept us awake our last night there. One was saying she hated snoring because it kept her away, well try listening to girls giggling for hours. The last thing...when it says self closing doors, it really means slamming doors!!! Beautiful beach but you have to pay $30 a day to rent the umbrella with two chairs. Hope this was helpful.
