Only stayed for one night, so don’t have a lot of input. Room is clean. There was some difficulties with the key and I didn’t have access to the main lobby but staff to do their best to clear that up quickly.
The room was smaller than expected. There was just a full bed, but it is fine for one traveler. Unsure if there was construction on the second floor above me, but it was extremely noisy at all hours. It was clean,great parking and location.
Our stay at The Local excellent overall . The road noise can be a little loud in the evening but it gets better later in the night. The cleanliness was a 9/10 and comfort was a 8/10. The room could use a comfortable chair for relaxing. The pool was a nice bonus even though it was a little cool for a dip. The staff less operation of property was not an issue. It was much like renting a vacation property through other agencies. We would stay again.
Remote check-in was efficient. Responds quickly to text. This is an older property but has been maintained. Room was small but fine for solo traveler. Walkable to lots of good restaurants. There is road noise as it's located on A1A however I'd say the loud motorcycles from Daytona Bike week increased the noise level. Room was clean. The flat sheet is old and was "rough" from peeling. Overall, room was a good value and I'd stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness
For what we paid, we expected more. When we arrived, we still hadn’t received the check‑in text. With no one on site, we had to call, and it took about 20 minutes before we could get in.
Once inside, the space was clean, but the water pressure was extremely poor and the TV didn’t work. Any time the AC ran, the floor became very slippery throughout the room, which felt unsafe.
We chose this location because of its proximity to the amphitheater, but overall the experience didn’t match the price. The next time we visit STA, we’ll look for something more suitable.

Stayed here for two nights over New Year’s Eve. This is an older style motel that sits right on a busy road. The walls are somewhat thin as you do hear road noise and your neighbors. Highly recommend staying on a top floor on the backside of the motel. Obviously the pool is not heated so I did not use it but it is a super cute area and would probably be very refreshing in the summer months. You are close enough for a healthy walk over the “bridge of lions” into historic downtown or conveniently rent one of the bicycles from the motel. The motel is in a very walkable area to restaurants and bars. Would recommend staying here for an inexpensive option close to the historic downtown area.
Very charming old fashioned motel. The rooms are on the smaller side but they worked for us. The pool area was great! Air conditioning was good too. We had to actually turn it way down at night.
This motel was extremely dirty, as shown in the pictures I included. One of the towels was stained, there was a small stain on the sheets, and we also found a few hairs on the bed. The floor was dirty—I walked barefoot for just a few minutes and my feet were black afterward. It felt like any cheap motel, just decorated in a cuter way.
The check-in system was very quick and easy, which was a plus. We were only here for a few hours during a road trip, but if you’re planning to stay longer, I wouldn’t recommend it.
