The Days Inn Tropical Seas has a horizontal beige- and white-striped facade. Guests park either in an aboveground parking lot or an underground garage with a painted nautical mural. The lobby has a blue and green tropical theme with paintings and decorative pieces of palm trees, and a carpet to match. Unfortunately, the furniture and carpet appear to be dated. The lobby provides free coffee and water all day, a lending library, and a few computers for guests to use. The pool deck is located at the back of the hotel, directly in front of the beach. Days Inn is a chain hotel, and at this particular one, families and their children utilize the pool often, however, guests range from couples to families of all ages and backgrounds. 

The hotel is conveniently located directly off Highway 421 on one of the more popular spots of the south end of the beach. Directly behind the hotel on the beach is an umbrella, chair, and surfboard rental vendor. Only a four-minute walk away is the Fishin’ Shack, a bait and tackle shop. Across the street is Pirate’s Island Adventure Golf and a 20-minute drive away is the Daytona International Speedway for guests looking for family entertainment beyond the beach. More importantly, there are a multitude of restaurants, seafood and otherwise, within a 10-minute walk or less. For those looking to utilize the kitchenettes, microwaves, or mini-fridges in the rooms, CVS is a two-minute walk away, Publix Supermarket is two minutes by car, and Walmart is a 13-minute drive away. 

75 rooms at the Days Inn Tropical Seas have a basic beige and white color scheme and are spacious, with quite a few amenities. All rooms include a microwave and mini-fridge, and some rooms come equipped with a full-kitchenette that has a large refrigerator, sink, and full-size oven and stove. The kitchenettes do include plates, silverware, and some pots and pans for guests to use, and the hotel has thoughtfully provided dishwashing detergent and towels. Bathrooms have a lot of counter space, a tub/shower combo, hairdryer, and a coffeemaker. Rooms above the first floor that face the ocean provide a lovely view of the beach and the pool deck from a balcony that has two plastic chairs and a small table. The biggest drawback are reports of maintenance issues which have ranged from problems with showers, refrigerators, Wi-Fi connectivity, and the elevator. 

The hotel has family-friendly amenities such as two arcade games next to three snack machines, one of which includes ice cream. There are two coin-operated washing machines and two dryers for guests to use. The laundry room also has a folding table and a soap, bleach, and softeners dispenser that takes quarters. Next to the pool deck (with the heated pool and hot tub), there is a shuffle board and a bag toss game. The hotel doesn’t provide breakfast or a fitness center. Perhaps the best feature of the hotel is that it's on Daytona Beach which can be accessed from the pool deck. Although the hotel doesn’t seem to have many business guests, it does have two computers, a printer, and free Wi-Fi access throughout.
