Guest Reviews

• Alexey (10/5): -
• Allison (10/5): -
• shanee (1/5): -
• stephen (10/5): - It is an older motel that has a lot of updates that have been done by a knowledgeable contractor. This is a clean place to spend a couple of nights at a low cost which was exactly what I wanted. If you want something fancy with a lot of amenities this is not a place to consider. This is an older area but I never felt threatened.
• John E. (2/5): - Bed bugs and i paid twice for one night stay smh. Horrible hotel
• Ivan (2/5): 250 a night was too much for this place - N/A Room Smelled bad, bugs, sheets had holes, no soap, didnt feel safe.
• Allison (8/5): Very good -
• Bridget (10/5): - The staff was very helpful
• Saunders (10/5): Great stay, excellent value for money - Booked last minute for Bike Week, good price Location, plenty of parking - nice people who run it. Nice and clean - best place stayed in on our mini road trip round Florida - UK guest
• Kerry (10/5): - Clean and convenient nice staff informative
• Justin (10/5): - The property was very clean and comfortable
• Eric (9/5): Superb - Price
• Nick (10/5): - Staff was very accommodating. It’s an old school hotel from the 60s/70s so it’s very dated but I enjoyed my stay. It was biketoberfest so the constant noice of motorcycles was present not their fault. Overall I’m very happy with my stay and will probably stay there again.
• Steve (10/5): - The owners of the property are also the managers and they are amazing. Easily one of the best cheap stays ive ever had. 5 STARS!
• Nikos (7/5): Good -
• Max (8/5): - When we first pulled in we thought the area was a little sketchy, but the clean room and great staff definitely made up for it. Would stay here again
• White (7/5): Mom and Pop hotel by the Daytona Speedway - The service at the hotel really makes the place! If you wanted to stay in a mom and pop hotel like Schitts Creek, this is the place for you! Check in and check out was super duper easy, very friendly, went above and beyond for us! Right around the corner from Daytona speedway, for a quick night or two, this is a great little place to stay. When we arrived the AC was off which concerned us, but we eventually got frozen out because it was so cold! There's a little fridge, and a pretty functional shower. It's an older beat up hotel, you should have that expectation before you arrive. This is a great place to drop your stuff off at, go have a blast and get exhausted, come home and crash.
• Donald (10/5): Exceptional -
• Catharine (10/5): - Staff was very friendly and the room was well kept and cleaned daily
• Yvette (10/5): quaint & comfortable - arrived for bike week 2024 late the day of check in but Mr. Sam was very understanding & accommodated our group with no hesitation to put us all in one section of the motel, our stay was very comfortable & felt safe, motel was VERY CLEAN, as were the grounds, we were also able to BBQ in the small patio area. Mr. Sam had plenty of room to park our bike trailers & vehicles while we were able to park our bikes in front of our rooms. we were able to leave our rooms in the morning feeling our belongings would be safe & return to relax from the ride out in front of our rooms. I was surprised on how clean & quaint the rooms were. I have stayed in many motels & this is the far best I've stayed in. thank you Brian for attending to our rooms while we were enjoying Daytona Bike week...will be returning for bike week!!!

• Nathan (10/5): Excellent - Excellent room with great friendly people

• Juan (8/5): Very good -

• Breanna (5/5): was not the worst place to stay but was not the best place, it was fair for the price and location - was close to a lot of stuff no wifi, wasn’t the nicest but was not the worst
• Paula (7/5): Good -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Terry (10/5): Simply nice - This is an older style motel with recent renovation. It is clean and comfortable. When traveling, I just need clean room and comfortable bed. These property answers to that need. Staff was very helpful in correcting any concern we may have had. Reasonable priced. The lighting in the room was cold. Warmer rated bulbs would be nice.
• Barker (7/5): Good - How close the beach was for a reasonable priced motel. The dead bugs
• Yacko (10/5): Exceptional -

• Kristin (2/5): Very poor - Towels smell like cigarettes
• Resmondo (7/5): Good - Made beds everyday
• Karilyn (8/5): - It was easy to get to. Staff are very friendly. Rooms were clean. No coffee maker in the rooms.

• Andrewbower (4/5): Never again - Nothing was exceptional There were holes in the blanket and the room stunk
• Anonymous (8/5): The owner/manager was very friendly. We will stay next year! - the property and rooms were spotless. Room was cleaned daily. We’ll definitely return! only wish it was beachside
• Robert (10/5): - Met the owner at checkin. Very friendly man. Shared my concerns about previous reviews and had a great conversation. Bottom line, those negative reviews are bogus. Clean room and property. Easy parking, late checkin (Rolex baby), close food. Will be back next year.
• Karen (8/5): - The property is simple but clean. The property is very quiet. Not resort style but definitely comfy to stay here!
• Katrina (7/5): Good -
• Verified traveler (6/5): My stay - Beds were comfy, however, chair was ripped, arm of chair broken, no tissues or extra toilet paper in bathroom, cheap perfumy air freshener smell in room, you could tell people smoked in there even though requested non-smoking room. Could not find anyone to deliver food to hotel so had to go pick up. People were nice checking in and when we checked out. Let us leave our car thete while we went to the nascar race, as we did it by lyft. It was ok for a one night only. Definitely no frills place.
• Howard (10/5): We had a great time - location ,cleanliness
• Fiston (2/5): - Rooms not clean.
• David (10/5): - They were very concerned about our comfort. Upgraded us to a bigger room for same price. Yes we will stay again!!
• Scott (2/5): - No shower dirty burnt
• Jeff (8/5): - Great place to stay but the bed was not comfortable
• Dawn (8/5): - Went for Bike Week, great place to stay with a brilliant diner for breakfast just down the road
• Henry (8/5): - The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. Close parking by room
• Joyce (6/5): - Besides the fact that I was charged more than what your app said I would be charged they took the payment 2weeks before I even arrived. I will not be staying there again. The location was great but thats it
• Henry (8/5): - It was a very clean. Close to many locations. Very quiet area.
• Jillyworm (2/5): People beware! - We stayed here for a concert and got in at 10pm. The first night we had no working toilet because the entire system backed up and the whole property was down. The owner supposedly couldn't get anyone out at 10pm so we had them in and out of the room for a few hours..but wait it gets worse!! The room next door had a bunch of sketchy folks in and out all night and in the morning they were all out front because their room got flooded. Needless to say in the garbage at the front door were a bunch of NEEDLES! They finally got the plumbing system working after noon . This place is very outdated and in desperate need of better management!
• Verified traveler (4/5): No sunshine at sunshine inn. - There was no ice machine. Had to leave and go to gas station everytime we needed ice. No bible in the room. No coffee pot. No one ever came to clean our rooms the whole week we were there. Marble floor in shower. So slick you couldnt hardly move when showering or you would fall. A/c kept shutting off. No hair dryer in the room. The door had gaps all around it. There was a huge hole in the wall behind comode. Bathroom floor was filthy black shower head was loose. No phone in room. We will NEVER stay at this dump again.
• William (6/5): - Liked - the owners were friendly and attentive. Didn’t like the cigarette smoke smell in the room, even had an ash tray on the nightstand, and we requested a smoke free room. Bathroom sink fixtures were loose as was the bathroom door handle, and the ceiling light above the microwave didn’t work.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Esta ok
• Verified traveler (8/5): Not bad - This place was not bad. It's down that strip of motels on Ridgewood. There is no pool and the place is definitely not fancy.. but the bed was comfortable, i felt fairly safe and was nice and quiet. The owners live on the property and it's kind of cute how it's set up. Overall, I'd stay here again but I'd rather somewhere a bit nicer.
• Verified traveler (2/5): SUNSHINE INN SUCKS!!! They are criminals - ANYWHERE BUT HERE!!! Owners are extremely rude and will nickel & dime you to death. We booked 2 rooms through this site at a reasonable price only to have our bill go up over $100 when we got there. There is no refunds allowed so we were kind of stuck unless we wanted to completely throw away a few hundred dollars.He told us he hates hotels.com and also charged us a 14% fee that they said was a charge passed on to cover hotel.com fee or some nonsense. Free WiFi is advertised, however, not a single person with us were able to connect. The owner tells us he does not gaurantee free WiFi even though they advertise it. Four of the six in our group were children under 16 stuck in a hotel on a rainy day and no WiFi, unbelievable! Mini fridge in our room did not work, a/c unit cut off in the middle of the night and would not come back on no resolution on this from the owner. The owners were in the parking lot at around 7pm yelling and cussing at an occupant 5 doors down from us telling him to get back inside his room, completely unprofessional. Just so ya know, no coffee, no ice, no vending, your towels will more than likely be stained, your air, along with the fridge might not work, you've been warned!!!! I'm 42 been married for 17 years with 2 kids and have been to many, many hotels from NY to Florida and have NEVER had to deal with anything like this. EVER! No matter how tempted you are to book a room here I would advise against it, it's horrible. Hotels.com, eliminate them pl!
• Verified traveler (6/5): Good - Good
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The guy at reception was super nice. He even provided us with cards to play at night. Got extra towels. Refrigerator and microwave working well.
• Melissa (8/5): Nice room - It was nice clean and quiet
• Katlyn (10/5): - Super clean! Perfect for a few nights, the owner is also extremely nice!
• Lawrence (8/5): - Very clean and recently updated rooms. For the price it couldn't be beat. No pool or internet. The upcoming tv show info couldn't be found on the tv menu.
• Shi,S (6/5): - No ice machine....no vending....no laundry....AC kept off until someone rents room...room very hot and takes hours to cool off...could use a new shower curtain and new pillows...overall it was ok...full cable and large bathroom and room
• MARC (10/5): - No shampoo No hair-dryer
• George (2/5): - Bad . Tht is all I have to say. The hotel going through my stuff n took my clothes. N tryed to kick me out
• Jason (10/5): - Great
• Verified traveler (6/5): - I liked that it had sufficient wall outlets. Towels were stained. No glasses or cups or shampoo or coffee pot. Bed was too soft for me. My credit card was over charged by about $1500. That was corrected later after I brought it to there attention.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Really liked the desk personnel; very pleasant! Was concerned about the area where the Inn was situated and the fact that a taxi driver was banging on our door at 6:15 am. Wrong room!
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Bedbugs in first room, old bedding with cig burns. Half ass housekeeping, shower in second room busted and doesnt drain. If you got any money left over after you buy your crack/meth/heroine i guess it would be a nice place. I will say the second room was pretty big tho.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Easy parking with trailer. Neat and clean Plenty of hot water
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Affordable rooms and quite clean for the rates. Had wifi and showtime. Also they have an option to pay per hour of late checkout
• Verified traveler (2/5): - There was nothing to like about this property! Dirty pillow case limited T.V.channels! No ice, no iron, no coffee pot
• Charles (10/5): Sunshine Inn a Great place to rest and relax. - We can down to Daytona for Bike Week from Robertsdale Alabama and rode for about 550 miles and was quite surprised to see how well maintained and clean their (Mr.Sam) Motel was, establishments like that in our area need to run theirs as good. We will be back and stay at Sunshine Inn again, thank you Mr. & Mrs Patell, hope I spelled that right.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Rooms were very clean. All new inside. Property manager was awesome. Ive stayed in alot of hotels and the best property manager ever! I will definately stay here again. Not alot of amenities but didnt stay in hotel much so didn't matter to me.
• John (4/5): A crackhead must see! - My wife and I slept with both handguns under the pillows.. Need I say more? -roof. 4 walls. Running water. Bathroom window has louvers that stayed open like an acces for night crawlers.
• M4165IOjohns (2/5): Disappointed with this location that Expedia showed as a good inn for price - 1st off when we checked in the gentle man at the small counter had me pay right away for a second night. He also informed my wife and I that he never had a problem at his place, yet my wife checked on the internet that there was a murder there in 2013 or 2014. Then there was no refrigerator or microwave, he got on from the room next dog and upon opening it to check it out he was startled to see roaches come out of it and his wife was trying to chase and kill them. A Tran runs right behind this location. No cup in bathroom. As for ice we needed to buy our own, No ice machine on the property. I walk out back and saw old toilets and disregarded fence boards. Towels were had and it took a long time to get hot water. The small window ledges had mold. As for the bedding there is no fitted sheet, just a top sheet that barely fight the bed and then another topsheet. Bath room door did not close at all and had a hole in it that was fixed with some type of putty,and not even sanded Smith,just paint over it to make it look unnoticeable. For the price I would not pay maximum of more then $50.00 for this room. As for the Wi-Fi you need to get the pass code before you can use it. No tv guide in room and not even a small bible. No real information for places to eat. Daytona Beach is a lot further then they indicate, and the Daytona Speedway is further then scattered also. Will not go back if the last place available.
• 174jessicac (2/5): Don't waste your money here. - I feel completely ripped off spending 50 dollars. 1. I booked this on Expedia for 50.38 when I arrived they had charged my card 56.38. I know it was intentional because my receipt had been processed by the front counter before I arrived. He gave me a five after I complained but it makes me think people may not be re-checking their prices. 2. I was here on business and all I wanted to do was take a super hot bath, to my surprise and dismay there was no stopper for the tub. When I asked for one I was told they did not provide them. Or shampoo/conditioner. 3. The room in itself left something to be desired. Loud A/C (very very very loud), aside from the fridge and microwave everything else should be replaced due to decrepit age. I was looking for somewhere inexpensive, I made the mistake for searching hotels not motels and for some reason this POS came up under hotels under least expensive. If you search motel you'll find better places for less money.
