The 64-room Quality Inn Daytona Speedway is a step above its fellow budget hotels. The main draw for guests here is Daytona International Speedway, which is right across the road. Rooms are a great value: spacious and spotlessly clean, with smart decor, air-conditioning, and flat-screen TVs. Wi-Fi is free, as is an excellent hot breakfast, and there are a range of chain restaurants and convenience stores in the area as well. Those wanting to be near Daytona Beach may be better off checking out somewhere like the Daytona Beach Regency, which has a pool, though rooms will be far more expensive.
Scene
Smart, clean, and modern hotel for tourists and NASCAR enthusiasts
The lobby of this two-story hotel has been recently redesigned and has a modern, stylish appeal. Glamorous chandelier-style lights hang above the reception desk that proudly displays the hotel’s numerous awards. There
are vibrant red rugs, a chic oversized brown sofa, and a feature wall covered
in split-face stone tiles. There are no real grounds to speak of, excepting a few chairs arranged out front, and the hotel is surrounded by a parking lot. The property's interiors are smart, clean, and well maintained
throughout, and all rooms are accessed from the exterior. Guests here come from across the spectrum, from couples and families (especially NASCAR and car racing enthusiasts) to business travelers.
Location
Adjacent to the Daytona International Speedway, but a 15-minute drive to the beach
The majority of guests stay here because of its close proximity to the
famous Daytona International Speedway, which is right across the busy road fronting the hotel. It’s
not so convenient for those wanting to hit Daytona Beach, though, as it’s a
15-minute drive away. The immediate area lacks a whole lot of character, and though guests can walk to 7-Eleven, Target, Panda Express, Taco Bell, and Hooters in five minutes, it's not very accommodating to pedestrians. The Museum of Arts
& Sciences is only a 10-minute drive away, as is the Daytona Beach
International Airport. Slightly farther afield is the Lower Wekiva River
Preserve State Park and Ocala National Forest, which are 45- and one-hour drives respectively, and they are great for nature lovers. Walt Disney World Resort and Orlando's other top
attractions are also about an hours' drive from here.
Rooms
Clean, contemporary rooms with air-conditioning and flat-screen TVs
The spacious, contemporary guest rooms here are simple and smart, with fresh, boldly patterned carpets popping against neutral walls, olive green curtains and bed linens, and stylish dark wood furniture and headboards. Pillow-top beds come in king and queen sizes, though we did see a minimal amount of wear-and-tear on some of the furniture when we visited and wall art is generic. All rooms have air-conditioning, microwaves, mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers. Bathrooms have large granite vanities, white and off-white tiling, toiletries, and bathtub/shower combos that are spotlessly clean. Family Rooms and Smoking Rooms are also available, though non-smoking guests may want to confirm ahead that they are going to be given non-smoking rooms as the smoke smell can linger otherwise.
Features
Excellent free breakfast, fitness center, and free Wi-Fi
The hotel includes parking, Wi-Fi, and breakfast in the room rate. The
hot breakfast buffet has an excellent spread including sausages, eggs,
waffles, fresh fruit, and yogurts. Free coffee and a selection of teas are also
available for free throughout the day. The breakfast area is just off the lobby, and while
it's a little small and gets busy at times, it's a light, bright, and modern
space with comfortable tables and chairs. There’s a fitness center and business
center on-site which are both available 24-hours a day, as well as a laundry
room. Unfortunately, pets are not allowed here, though the hotel does provide free cribs for guests with small children.
