About this property

Welcome to San Marina Motel

San Marina Motel is a casual beachfront property located at 1001 N Atlantic Ave in Daytona Beach, FL, just across from the Daytona Beach Boardwalk. It offers colorful rooms and suites with views of either the pool or the ocean, providing a straightforward stay with access to an outdoor pool and free Wi-Fi. The motel is suitable for families, with kid-friendly amenities and free parking, though it does not offer on-site dining, fitness facilities, or airport shuttle services.

The setting is ideal for guests seeking convenience to local attractions, being approximately one mile from Daytona Lagoon water park and seven miles from the Daytona International Speedway. Visitors often appreciate the proximity to popular points of interest such as the Museum of Arts & Sciences, making the motel a practical choice for exploring the area rather than spending extended time on the property.

Guest feedback indicates the property is clean and features notably friendly staff who provide helpful service, including thoughtful touches like a morning espresso setup. Some reviews highlight smaller room sizes and basic facilities, suggesting that those prioritizing spacious accommodations or luxury amenities may find the motel modest. The simplicity, combined with a budget-friendly price point, appeals largely to travelers focused on beach activities and local sightseeing.

Check-in time begins at 3:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. While the motel is not pet-friendly and lacks a restaurant or fitness center, its accessible features and stable internet connection support a comfortable stay for visitors who plan to spend most of their time exploring Daytona Beach.

We arrived at the hotel very late—almost 4 AM—and the staff could not have been kinder. After such a long travel day, being greeted by friendly, welcoming people made all the difference. They were incredibly accommodating and made sure we got settled in quickly and comfortably. One of my favorite surprises was their little morning espresso/barista setup. Fresh espresso in the morning is already a win, but the fact that they had oat milk absolutely made my trip! It’s such a thoughtful touch you don’t always find. The entire property is immaculately clean. Truly spotless. We’re from Georgia, so we’re used to seeing bugs around pretty much anywhere in the South—but here there wasn’t a single one in sight, not even outside. That level of upkeep really stood out. Between the exceptionally friendly staff, the amazing cleanliness, and the great little details like the espresso bar, this place feels like a true hidden gem in Daytona. We will absolutely be back

I love the pool here. The architecture also is beautiful and pleasing to look at. But the Queen bedroom is so tiny!! Literally can't even open the dresser drawers all the way Also, the outlet to fridge/microwave combo was shorting. shower was well built and luxurious. However, the tile around the drain has not been sanded smooth or even covered with rubber so be careful.

Come here every year for daytona bike week and this is the place we stay. We never had an issue staying here. Free parking for our truck and trailer. Short walk to the beach. The owner is a good guy and very helpful.

I think a lot of the reviewers are missing the point of this hotel. I see a lot of critiques about the pool, the size of the room, or the shower. If your goal is to spend most of your time at the hotel (and not at the beach right across the street), then you should probably find a different place. The room was clean and it was serviced (mopped, cleaned, and freshened up daily) and the shower was more than adequate. There is a clean bed to sleep in after a long day at the beach and walking around Daytona. It is exactly what you need for a beach getaway. A clean place to sleep and shower. You plan your visit for the beach, right? We had no complaints here whatsoever. $56/night, we stayed for a week and were in the room 8 hours to sleep, shower, and change. We didn't drive our car once, walked everywhere because everything you need is within a mile or two. On top of that, the other people staying there were fantastic to talk to and we loved meeting our neighbors in the outdoor walkways. No, it is not the Four Seasons. But for the location and the price, you can't beat it if your goal is a BEACH trip.
