I thought it looked like they were trying to remodel the last few years. We stayed there since the 90's until it closed. It was the best hotel and staff on the beach. Wonderful memories.

The cost of rehabilitating the building far outweighs the cost of demolishing the hotel and building something new. Looks like a big site too, with lots of potential for something better.

Just back from DB this past Easter weekend and no real change to the building. The owners have contractors picking at it but I think they are doing this to placate the city. No signs of finality.

We stayed here many times in the late 90's and early 00's. It's sad to see what has become of it. I'd love to see it be redone rather than demo'd.

We live in Daytona... I've heard rebuild, tear down its all a money game . We stayed there in the 80s it's sad I really wish they would rebuild. They tore up the desert inn and rebuilding it down here.

As of November 2019, no real change, no improvements, skeleton still standing. Sad.

As a visitor a hotel employee informed us that TV doesn't show roof damage after hurricanes . The inside of a building collapses from rain. That isn't recognized by us Northerners. Seems like Mother nature is hard on all of us, no matter where we live.

Thank you for your vid...my sister and I stayed here in the 80's as a teenagers with our family for a week or so during a few summers -- We met so many great kids who would return every year..always had a big group to hang out with.. I remember 2 sisters and their brother from Ireland..loving ms pac man lol... sadly we lost touch over the years.. Was always a great hotel.. lots of fun very clean great food.. so sad to see it these days. Will be a sad day to see it demolished.

I stayed there back in the 1970's. A hurricane? No wonder why it looks different. It was fun driving on the beach.

Just back from Thanksgiving break down in Daytona. Still no change to the TI building. I'm not holding my breath for the alleged refurb.

Wow I remember watching Bright Sun Films' video on this back in 2015 and still nothing has changed about this place. Damn.

I hope someone does rebuild. Loved this place Stayed from 84 til 04. Only place we stayed

great video. Place looks pretty wiped out and fenced up, I guess I wont be able to go in there :/

Go ahead. Fly that drone into one of the rooms. I wanna' see.

Welp I know what I'm doing for summer now

Just back from bike week and shot more video of a cleaned up TI. URL is:

So it's never going to be repaired at all now?

January 12, 2022 update:
