Arya Blu Inn and Suites

I booked this room last minute after TripAdvisor messed up my reservation at a place in Daytona. I was really in a pinch. I was running very late due to the messed up reservation. I was in town for a race at the speedway and didn't want to miss the start. They said I could check in early and the lady at the desk sent someone up to get my room ready ASAP. She also suggested a close place to grab lunch and a beer while I waited. I figure eat better food for less than at the track. I got into the room and it was nicely fresh and redone. The shower was really nice and the bed was comfortable. I had an ocenfront room and there were large windows facing south and east. The view was really nice. There are also chairs and little tables on the walkway overlooking the pool (which looked really nice, likely redone after Matthew) and the beach...and yeah, the parking lot. The place is almost done being renovated. The hotel's name wasn't even on the front of the building yet, so it's easy to miss. I missed my race start by about 40 minutes, but without their hustle it would have been by like 2 hours. I really appreciated the effort. I live only an hour or so north and like to get down for a quick getaway weekend. I typically stay in Daytona but I think I'll give Arya Blu a try when I can spend more time there....have a beer by the pool....read my book and watch the ocean. Added some pics. The room pic isn't that good as it was from my phone and I was in a big hurry to get to my race.

My son and his 2 friends just stayed at this hotel recently and the cost of this hotel (about C$400 per night) was astronomic and ridiculously expensive considering the very poor quality of the facilities, (rust in the toilet, etc.) , cleanliness, the cold and very poor breakfast included in the room price with fruits (unripe green bananas and apples), muffins and yogurt only. No hot food, eggs or even toast bread or potatoes. The pool was unheated contrary to most of the other hotels nearby equipped with heated pools at similar room price. I totally not recommend this very cheap hotel. Please avoid it.

Do not check in here. They will ask for a $100 deposit aside from your actual rate which doesn’t make sense. You pay your charges once you check out . Your deposit of $100 they said it will return after 2-3 days. But they never did. They are satisfied with the charges i paid but they stole me $100.

Large rooms, great location, decently clean except for the black hairs all over the bathroom floor, beds were decent and clean, the staff at check-in was a little aloof, but the staff when checking out was more friendly. We didn't report the strong smell of pot/weed coming from the room next door. There isn't one single place to hang towels in the bathroom. The lady at check-in would not honor our request for 2 parking passes, even though I was told on the phone 2-3 days prior that it wouldn't be a problem. She also would not let us speak to a manager. It was fine for the 3 days and 2 nights we were there at a reasonable price.

This is a MOTEL falsely advertised. The pool filter did not work; sand accumulated at the bottom. The freezer did not work b/c of age and needed “defrosted.” I could not get coffee packets after one day. The WiFi NEVER worked and I asked TWICE.

This hotel was actually rather nice for it being a last resort. We couldn’t find any available and reasonably priced hotels on Daytona Beach so we went to Ormond Beach which is only like 8 miles away. The rooms are nice and clean. The beds are comfortable. It has a kitchenette for warming up stuff but no heavy cooking on the little stove. Breakfast was more like a snack but no worries because if you turn right out the hotel, IHOP is right there. Clean bathroom and showers. Towels aren’t very soft but they serve the purpose. Very clean outdoor pool with a beautiful beach access! Overall, good stay with friendly staff!
