Sun Viking Lodge - Daytona Beach

The staff is very kind and friendly! Upon check in our room keys did not work and the front desk gal gladly came out to replace the battery compartment. The room was outdated, but beds were comfortable, liked having two bathroom sinks and mirrors for getting multiple people ready at same time. Facility needs updating. The cafe was not open. The outdoor pool which we were looking forward to using and sunbathing by was closed during our stay which was a huge disappointment for Spring Break sunshine. Indoor pool was busy. Property is small but great location on the beach.

We have been goin to the sun Viking for the last 14 years ! And it’s sad to say now that they are now under new ownership/ management we will not be going back ! Room were nasty everything was broken we got locked out of the sleeping area away from our little children called the front deals and was told we would have to wait it out ! Iv never been so disappointed !

I had picked this hotel bc the hotels.com site said family friendly with a game room, a snack bar, sauna, gift shop and a gym. Upon check in, we had a wonderful gal named Cora. She was polite, friendly, and a very hard worker. After getting to our room, which was quickly prepared, we did not get a room with a view that I had paid more for so we were close to the pool and the beach. The next morning my husband had to leave early for an unexpected work shift in which I had to make arrangements and get my son up to drive him at 6:30 in the morning after not getting much sleep because there were motorcycles all night and it was very loud. I was exhausted that morning but was packing up the room with my five year old who could not help at all, stressing because I knew we were approaching check out time and I still needed a quick shower and was packing up all three of our items while cleaning along the way. I told my 5 year old son mommy's going to take a shower if anybody knocks at the door tell them my mom he's in the shower please come back in a little while. Most importantly I informed him to not open the door for anyone because he is 5 years old and I didn't want any strangers near him without me being present. While I was in the shower of course I heard the death knock like the police are rating the place and I heard my son say my mom is in the shower please come back then I heard the door open I didn't hear anybody talking I was listening and then I heard the door close

The staff was very nice and accommodating. However, for the price, the place seems run down and had a strong odor of cigarette smoke, even though they have "no smoking" signs posted.
