أريا بلو إن آند سويتس

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.

The property has very poor conditions. The room we stayed had a strong smell of cigarettes, bed sheets had blood stains and lots of cigarette burns. The room entry door was very corroded and the self closing actuator was broken and super rusted. We were given 2 keys and of course one of them never worked. The bathroom was ok but the extractor was not working. Overall all I can say is I’d never stay there again and would never recommend anyone staying there.

I have stayed at the Arya 3 times now and I have enjoyed my stays for the most part. Really no complaints, until now. The Arya is a small hotel directly on the beach. It is a little ran down and understaffed but the rooms are decent and most of the people there are friendly and do their jobs. I reserved 3 rooms.. 1 room specific for my husband, 2 kids and me which I paid extra to have the ocean view and kitchenette... Instead I got a parking lot view. I went to the office and showed the night clerk my reservations and itinerary to prove I had an ocean view but she still refused to put me in a different room. I really didn't have much choice at the moment. I had just drove from Polk county, Ga, after working half the day. I still enjoyed my stay however the inconvenience.
