Best Western Aku Tiki Inn

We have stayed here multiple times the rooms are always impeccable as if it was brand new. Everything is always is working and perfectly maintained. The maintenance man is very upbeat and friendly. As was the bartender along with Ivie who greeted us at the front and spoke to us upon checking out. Those were the only employees we had contact with but I’m sure all would receive a 10. The pool is amazing, clean, adequately kept, the wader pool was wonderful for our baby. The kitchenette and refrigerator was amazing, the rooms are huge, it always passed my white glove test. We travel due to my husbands job constantly and stay in many hotels this is by far one of the cleanest, freshest, and amazingly kept. The beds are always very comfy, the TV and remote is easy to navigate. I can’t say enough great things about this property. Highly recommend the Oceanview room with kitchenette. There are even chairs on the balcony to enjoy the view.

Had to pay to park in hotel parking lot didn't make sense you pay for a room and they charge you to park.

BUYER BEWARE! The Best Western Aku Tiki in Daytona Beach, FL will charge your credit card $500 for smoking in a room that you never smoked in. I have called & spoken with the front desk 10+ times & they cannot help me. Every time I leave a message for the manger (who is there but is too busy to pick up the phone). The manager NEVER calls back. They refuse to provide proof or even say what caused them to charge my credit card $500. I called Best Western corporate, they will not help, they say it is up to the hotel. They tried to get the hotel to respond to them about what caused the charge & nothing. This has been a year of me fighting this with no response from the hotel!!! This is a scam, take detailed photos of your room before you check out if you choose to stay here. In addition, it took over an hour to check in & our 1st room was flooded so they had to switch rooms, which took even longer!

Nothing, I never find fault with different hotels I stay in, but this place was awefull, this is the first time I have ever hated the fact I booked a hotel. I stayed there in 2022 and it was run a heck of a lot better back then.

How dirty the outside was from all the paint that was scraped off the building before they painted it. The pool was stained and dirty, I was there for 10 days and they never cleaned the shower or cleaned the floors that were filthy in our rooms, and when I complained to the front desk they offered me a drink voucher for a drink which I didn't take. Best Western should be ashamed to put their name on this property, Booking.com should be ashamed for booking a place like this.

Close to beach, clean facility

The 8$ charge for me to be able to park on property I am staying at
