Arya Blu Inn and Suites

I booked this room last minute after TripAdvisor messed up my reservation at a place in Daytona. I was really in a pinch. I was running very late due to the messed up reservation. I was in town for a race at the speedway and didn't want to miss the start. They said I could check in early and the lady at the desk sent someone up to get my room ready ASAP. She also suggested a close place to grab lunch and a beer while I waited. I figure eat better food for less than at the track. I got into the room and it was nicely fresh and redone. The shower was really nice and the bed was comfortable. I had an ocenfront room and there were large windows facing south and east. The view was really nice. There are also chairs and little tables on the walkway overlooking the pool (which looked really nice, likely redone after Matthew) and the beach...and yeah, the parking lot. The place is almost done being renovated. The hotel's name wasn't even on the front of the building yet, so it's easy to miss. I missed my race start by about 40 minutes, but without their hustle it would have been by like 2 hours. I really appreciated the effort. I live only an hour or so north and like to get down for a quick getaway weekend. I typically stay in Daytona but I think I'll give Arya Blu a try when I can spend more time there....have a beer by the pool....read my book and watch the ocean. Added some pics. The room pic isn't that good as it was from my phone and I was in a big hurry to get to my race.

All the ice machine was out of order. The breakfast selection was poor. But the stay was nice and the young lady working the front desk was very nice and helpful.

The only good thing about this hotel was the hot tub. The room stunk so bad we had to go get candles and air freshener to air it out. The owners were never at the front desk and people were waiting and calling consistently to hear from them. The bathroom door didn’t close. I really wanted to like this place but I was disappointed, as we got it to have a romantic getaway and atmosphere and we had to go out and purchase items to create that ambiance.
