Hotels Near Big Smoke in Ormond Beach

Just down the stairs to Daytona Beach It was great for a weekend with kids and the hotel was clean and well maintained The free breakfast was so-so but the tiki bar was delicious I recommend it for a trip with kids

First time at this hotel in Daytona! We were greeted with the most interesting and great staff! Great first impression from our Valet guy and Joe who stored our luggage until our room was ready! Bartender and Staff were also so friendly and welcoming ! Front desk staff were just as awesome !

We ended up at the Daytona Grande after the Hilton Oceanfront overbooked and we were on our way with no place to stay! Admittedly not the safest, but I had to book this place while driving from the Orlando airport and just looking for something that wasn’t a total dive but still decently priced without a ton of extra fees. No free breakfast here which is something I especially appreciate as a family of 6, but in this case it was just me and my teenage son in town for an archery championship. After the highly stressful day of travel we had, the Grande was like a little slice of Heaven! It was clean, quiet, and beautiful. We decided after having to skip lunch with flight delays and all that, we just wanted a good meal and a good bed and we got exactly that. My son and I split truffle fries to start, the crusted crab filet, and beignets for dessert. All were wonderful (and we’re from Dallas where there is no shortage of excellent food) and enjoyed Oceanside on the dimly lit quiet patio. My only criticism is that the tables should be turned perpendicularly to the ocean and hotel so that everyone at the table gets a view of both rather than one facing a wall while the other faces the ocean. Rooms were nicely decorated, had comfortable, intuitive lighting, handy USB plugs, and most importantly REALLY COMFORTABLE BEDS! We have a Tempurpedic at home so my sleep is usually pretty abysmal at hotels. Now, this wasn’t as comfy as home, but I slept hard and woke without being sore since the bed was genuinely comfortable. My only complaints about the room were that the window sheers, while stylish, really gave no privacy at all, so if you wanted privacy you had to sacrifice light. Water pressure wasn’t great and the bathroom needed more towel bars and hooks. This would’ve been way more of a nuisance with the whole family, but they also came midday and restocked towels and made up the beds, which we see less and less of these days, even at nice hotels in the name of being “green”. But it was spacious and clean and otherwise nicely equipped. Elevators were fast and never held us up. Beach access from the elevator was nice as we didn’t have to walk through the lobby in swimsuits. Parking was slightly inconvenient being caddy corner across the street, but not bad at all. We considered but didn’t try room service mainly due to price and unknown wait (when we had tournament times to consider) but the little shop/cafe in the lobby was great and convenient and priced about as you’d expect (pricey, but not too ridiculous). We got coffee and breakfast sandwiches both days. I think the biggest issue with this place is the visibility. It’s tall to be sure so you’re not going to miss it, but the entrance and signage is on the far side and behind a little aqua building (I think called Sand Dunes) which had to be apartments or a teeny hotel that I can only assume refused to sell to the Grande in development so the Grande built around it. It keeps it from having the opulent entrance that the Hilton does

We stayed one night and have stayed here before. Pros: Checkin, Checkout and breakfast-all good. Room quiet, everything worked, comfortable. Cons: We found a live roach in the morning on the chest of drawers. We got a call from the front desk manager at 1 am waking us up. He asked: ”Do you have any animals in the room? I said No. He almost acted like he didnt quite believe us but said ”sorry for calling so late”. REALLY? Honestly, I have been traveling for 30+ years and have never had this happen. Here's what you do: You get off your a$$ and walk the floors until you hear the noisy animals and you knock on the door or call the room. You dont start calling people's rooms. We heard nothing so I cant imagine where the noisy animals were. Pretty much ruined our stay and our sleep.

The gentleman name DeWayne, the front desk guy at check in, greeted us very well. The room is comfortable and made for many pleasant night's stays. It is the newest hotel at the exit & the customer service overall is great. The breakfast is awesome. Corey the breakfast guy is pleasant as well; open til 10 am. Overall a well run hotel. All the staff were exceptional overall. We will be back.

Very pleased with cleanliness, most of staff was very friendly the breakfast staff were super nice there was one who worked the desk at night who clearly did not want to be there and had a poor atitude, breakfast was okay wish they had a little more to offer but it was enough to get you going for the day, pool are met my needs but there were not readily available pool towels without having to ask, location was good not to much traffic right by both daytona speedway and the airport and a short 13 minutes or so from daytona beach was also nice that there was a mall across the street although I did not get to visit during my stay. I enjoyed the stay enough to book an additional day.

We stayed at the Best Western Speedway for 5 nights & checked in at 1:30 am. We went to our first room on ground floor with all our luggage that smelled like mold. We took a room on the 2nd floor that was better. We had a small dining table in our room but only 1 chair. Our room had a small fridge & a balcony with 2 chairs facing the pool that was nice. The pool was huge, that was great & a beautifull sunset at night. Monday morning leaving our room was like an obstacle course getting around all the dirty bed sheets & wet towels on the hallway carpet floor. That explains the funky hallway smells in the hallway. The hallway carpets looked old & beat with long dark unknown stains a couple feet long. The breakfast was meh. Our shower head in the bathroom only received ½ the water as the ½ came out spout of faucet when you pulled the shower diverter valve on the faucet. The bathroom exhaust fan is ancient & the switches are filthy. The hotel is in need of upgrading & renovation.

I want to bring my whole family again next time. It was the impression that the training of employees was good. Meals around the area are convenient.

Don't let the name Days Inn make you think this place is lower quality, but the opposite. The staff and management take pride in making sure things are kept up and the guests have an enjoyable visit. Stayed for three nights in Room 606, 2 Beds Oceanfront Efficiency. Perfect views from the balcony to watch the sun rise and enjoy watching the waves crash below on the beach. Saw no bugs of any kind and the room was spotless. Had an issue with the sliding door being hard to open, but being subject to salty ocean air, things happen. I mentioned to the manager at the front desk and explained that they might want to get someone up there at some point to take a look at it, wasn't expecting it to be resolved in less than 5 minutes. He immediately called maintenance and they were up to my room within 30 seconds after I got back up to my room and were there to fix it. 15 minutes later, door sliding easy like it was new. Used the parking garage below the hotel, while not overly big, was perfect for keeping car out of the sun all day, even a vacuum to sweep out your car if you wanted to. Hot tub was still being constructed from what I had heard had been taken out during a hurricane. Pool was plenty big and the there were plenty other ways to have fun and relax. Definitely will return in the future and highly recommended. Even got points from Wyndham Rewards for a future stay.
