Sun Viking Lodge

Went here for Daytona 500 and stayed the weekend. Lots of rain changed the experience. Room was clean and simple. Had a couple minor issues with remote not working/programming-easy fix. And the rollaway being something from the 1970's? All said, it worked out. The best was that my senior mother forgot her phone in the room somehow. We didn't figure it out until we were halfway across the state already. Called in the staff and they went and found it quickly. Kept it safe and were able to ship it back to her within a couple days! Great service. Office staff were always friendly and courteous. Family owned hotel with some activities planned for kids/families and nice wide steps for beach access. Outdoor pool is being redone, but indoor one was fine. Priced up for the race i am sure, but not crazy. Make sure you stay in tower if need elevator or first floor otherwise for handicap access.

This is a very clean well run hotel Don't be scared off by it being an older hotel My room was very clean and with a purposeful new retro esthetics Wouldnt hesitate to come again Bathrooms are pretty small in the non-towers rooms if important to you But the rooms themselves are larger than average hotel room

Our friend booked this hotel for Biketober fest for us. The place had no hot water and when I called they said let it run the water comes from the 8th floor. Also we got up in the am to find a roach camping out on our charger. The room was around $300 they refunded $50 d/t the roach situation. It should've been free. This room was extremely overpriced. Will not be back and I'm sure all the people in our group will not return. This is the first time I seen a roach in an establishment that hosts overnight guests.

We love this place! We have stayed every July for the past 5-6 years. Met families that, like us, keep coming back every year.
Friendly, family atmosphere with games like bingo and outdoor movies for the kids, wonderful beach.
KEEP IN MIND this place is NOT for everyone. Family-friendly means there will be kids going down the water slide, jumping in the pool. And some of the rooms are in the motel half with doors facing the parking lot, basketball court, and pool which means there is a potential for noise.
If you are expecting the Ritz, pick another place. If you want a reasonably priced, caring staff, super kid/family friendly stay, this is your place!

We booked this hotel with the expectation of a pool a water slide and an ocean view. When we arrived the pool and water slide were out of order and our ocean view room was not available.our room was dirty and dark. We had to get out of this place. After a bit Todo our money was refunded and we booked a great hotel the emerald shores..has hot tub pool, breakfast and a really wonderful staff. Don't even bother booking at the sun viking lodge not sure how they got 4 stars

I have been coming here for 32 years. Sadly, this place is a shell of its former self. This will be the last year I come here. If you have never been here and look at their website, they seem to have tons to offer. However, when I got there, I quickly found out that the slide and outdoor pool were broken. The jacuzzi was broken. The cafe and the full calendar of family activities are now only on weekends. The ice machine on the ground floor was broken. None of these things are disclosed on the website. This place no longer offers anything more than any other hotel on this beach, yet you are still paying as if you were. Sadly, folks, I would no longer recommend this place to anyone. It should also be noted that due to last year's storms, at high tide, there is no beach, and water is about ten feet from the seawall.

The staff deserves 5 stars but the new owners earn zero so far. We are not impressed.

Head up families, new bosses in town and they intend to change things.
Grills are going away by July 2022.
They want to put in a bar in. Not a great idea when lots of kids are hanging around on deck.

This is supposed to be a FAMILY/ FRIENDLY place, not the ritz. If we wanted a fancy hotel, hot tub, etc. we'd be somewhere else. Not here.

We like it being down to earth and being able to let the kids have fun and parents relaxing by the poolside. We know your staff by name. Ron, Amy, Tre, etc. are amazing.

You roll up in your fancy Lamborghini and are messing with a good thing. You a very disliked by a lot of returning costumers/ families.

Website says there is a water slide. Nope. it is broken. Don't bother making reservation. i will NEVER step foot on the property again. Ya'll would think they would update their website. But no.

I was pretty impressed. A fun, family-oriented, beach motel with a charming and unique Viking theme. A number of the Daytona Beach motels have Polynesian or other tropical themes this was a bit of a twist. But it works it's a fun place they have an indoor pool and hot tub beach access plus an outdoor pool and a convenient location.

I don't know if my first floor room was representative of most of the bedrooms it was quite small but had a huge king-size bed, maybe even a California king, and the bathroom was tiny, but had been remodeled not too long ago and the remodel job was superb. As my photos here attest, the bed area itself was furnished in a tropical motif that was perfect for the environment I really liked their color choices and despite its small size room is quite functional and very clean.

I have to say in all honesty the beach access area and yard area at the Aku Tiki Inn which I have stayed at also I liked better because it was larger and just a little bit nicer but certainly the beachfront and the small grassy lawn here would suffice. Certainly recommend this Motel to families asbthe price was reasonable and I think they also have organized activities for kids during the day.

AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!
This place deserves 5-stars . They are very welcoming and professional from the moment i arrived till the last day of my stay. I even got a really cute beach bag as a gift from the hotel ! Our room was the best part of my stay , my room was literally next to such a beautiful heated pool . The view from my room was just mesmerizing The staff around there was very friendly and social . I loved it !!!! The room was very clean and updated . THEY HAVE A JACCUZI AND POOL WITH A SLIDE you guys !!! I literally did not have any problems with my stay !! This place is worth the money . I ABSOLUTELY WILL BE BACK TO THIS PLACE !
