Best suites — space, privacy and views
For the largest and most private accommodation with ocean views, pick Suite, 1 Bedroom, Oceanfront. The listing identifies a dedicated 1-bedroom oceanfront suite type and it is the clear choice when you want separate sleeping and living areas with ocean exposure.
If you need generous square footage but prefer a different aspect, Suite, City View (Bedroom) provides suite-style living with city views, while Suite (Courtyard) is the most flexible for larger groups who value space over an ocean panorama.
- Suite, 1 Bedroom, Oceanfront — oceanfront one-bedroom suite (bed: 1 King Bed)

| Suite (Courtyard) | 549 sq. ft. | More sleeping capacity for groups |
Best rooms for value and location
If you prefer to save and don't need an ocean view, Room, City View or Room, Balcony, City View provide the same 355 sq. ft. footprint with city or balcony city views. These still place you on North Atlantic Avenue within easy walking distance to the boardwalk and restaurants.
The hotel sits directly on the beach; the property notes the beach is about a two-minute walk and the Daytona Beach Boardwalk is roughly a 15-minute walk, so city-view rooms still keep you close to the main attractions.

- Room, Balcony, City View — 355 sq. ft.; 2 Queen Beds; up to 4 guests

How to choose between similar rooms
Most standard room types share the same 355 sq. ft. footprint; pick by view and bed type. If you need two beds, choose a 2 Queen configuration listed for several room types. If you value a private living area, step up to any suite.
Ask at booking or at the front desk about exact balcony layouts (standard balcony vs. Sun Porch) and whether the room faces the ocean directly or slightly to the side — the hotel notes different 'sun porch' and 'balcony' room names.
- Same square footage — 355 sq. ft. for most standard rooms; choose by bed configuration and view
- Sun Porch vs. Balcony — names indicate different outdoor space styles; confirm which you prefer
- Suites add separate living space and larger square footage (check specific suite type for exact size and beds)
| Decision factor | What to ask/confirm |
|---|---|
| Bed type | Request 1 King or 2 Queen Beds when booking |
| Outdoor space | Confirm 'Balcony' vs. 'Sun Porch' layout |
| View priority | Ask whether oceanfront rooms face directly to the ocean |
