Best Western Castillo Del Sol

If you want an oceanfront room with a good view of the beach and sunrises at a decent rate then the Best Western Castillo del Sol is a good option to choose. If you so choose this establishment please pick the oceanFRONT rooms instead of the oceanVIEW rooms, which are on the side of the hotel. Those latter rooms best view is of the driveway down to the underground parking area and the dumpsters that are placed there. Yes you can still see the ocean from them but nowhere near the extent you can from the oceanfront rooms. You will also likely be awakened early when the trash truck arrives to empty said dumpsters. From the oceanfront rooms you rarely hear such activity, and you can also see both up and down the beach, north and south for a long ways. I also recommend this hotel if you wish to go to Daytona Beach to enjoy the sights and activities but at night prefer a quieter area for your hotel part of the trip. less

The hotel hasn’t been updated in many many years. The carpets are dirty. The rooms are dirty. Bathrooms tile and grout is disgusting. Toilets run randomly, fridge is dirty. Elevators had random Cheetos on the floor for 24 hours. Parking is limited. The pool is freezing and never in the Sun. On the plus side the beach and view is beautiful. Location can’t be beat. less

We were placed in an old, run down room. Fixtures were coming off the ceiling, dirt and bugs were everywhere, old and uncomfortable furnishings, and toilet and a/c did not function properly. Worst of all..NO HOT WATER. We were told to run water for 15-20 minutes to get hot water. Never happened! This is not a well maintained hotel. Had a horrible experience with BW hotel a few years back, but thought we'd give them another try. NOPE. NEVER AGAIN. BW is out of our list of hotels to stay at. less

The parking, staff, checkin and check out were great! however the rooms need some desperate renovations. Starting with carpet, lighting, decor and so much more. Light in in the pool area is non-existent, I understand the reasoning due to the sea turtles however to not have any lighting at all especially near the pool where there are stairs and access to the beach, can be very dangerous. less

Only good thing about this hotel was the location. The rooms are run down. No hot water. And roaches roaches roaches. Never again will I stay there. We got a great deal. Almost half off and still feel ripped off. The work once vacation was over making sure no roaches came into my house was many hours of work. less
