I've stayed there twice for the Turkey Rod Run. The rooms are always clean and neat. Everything works. It's inexpensive. The staff is great. There are convenience stores nearby within walking distance. It's a great place. We will keep staying here!
Out of all hotels I have stayed at in New Symrna Beach Pooles Motels is my top place to stay. The owners are nice and always ask if there is anything they can do for you. The motel has AC and Heat, mini fridge, microwave, flat screen TV, Fresh linens, room always clean, And everything in downtown is in walking distance. I'm definitely coming back
In the middle of race week here in Volusia county its hard to get a room without reservations and if you are lucky to find one its at a very high price. That wasn't the case here. I called and none were available at moment. Called back after checkout time and one was open. Not only available but at a great price. Carolyn and owner were great. The room was very clean and linens all fresh. Even towels in bathroom were new. Tv had all channels and refrigerator on and ready too. I would recommend Pooles to anyone.
I have been staying at this motel, along with many friends for Motorcycle events for over tewnty years, always clean with friendly owners and free coffee in the mornings. The price is right, close to a lot of eating places and just a nice place to stay.
This place was good. Clean rooms clean bathrooms great people that worked in the front desk friendly people. I will love to stay there again. But the only problem I will say I had was the bathroom shower didn't have a light but everything was great. Good on price for rooms.
Friendly and affordable place to stay. The owner and manager were very helpful and gave us tips on where to shop (Winn Dixie) and near by restaurants. Rooms were clean and new shower. The other fixtures were dated but suitable considering the v. Affordable price. Safe and easy access to touristy places in New Smyrna Beach.
For being a cheaper price, the room was great. The only issue I had was there was only enough hot water for like a 3 minutes shower, then it's straight cold water. The owner was really nice and helpful when we needed something. The location was great! We were right by a couple of restaurants and a gas station. It's also not far from Flagler beach and the intercoastal.
If your looking for good price, close to the beach, and a clean, safe place to sleep, then I would certainly suggest you consider this Motel. I went in and checked in and the person at the front desk takes me to my room.. AND turns the A.C. on for me! I thought that was the cherry on top...very nice service , and the room was perfect. I'll keep coming back again and again!!
