Good Hotel Deals in Daytona (NOT)
This is sort of an oxymoron. There is no such thing as a good hotel deal in Daytona during Bike Week. For years the local innkeepers have made a habit of over pricing rooms to the motorcyclists who chose to spend their time and money in Daytona. I have stayed everywhere from the Adams Mark at outrageous rates like $275 per night with a four or five night minimum, to some flea-bag hotel that was so disgusting I didn't take off my jeans in fear of some rare tropical flesh-eating disease for $140.00 per night. These guys have no conscience. For sure, the best bet is to stay outside of Daytona. When you travel west towards Deland, hotel prices get surprisingly affordable and available with only a 20-minute putt. Two years ago I rented a nice room at a remodeled Holiday Inn for only $90.00 a night. The beds were clean and the bike secure with only a short ride to escape robbery in the Daytona Scene. Similar savings are also available if you go north to Ormond Beach or south to New Smyrna. The key is to take a short ride and always look at the room before you agree to rent. Believe me, there are lots of fleabags where you don't want to stay in the Daytona area. Many hotels also provide a garden hose to clean the road grime from your scoot. Ask about it when you check in. Another tip, remember that the "loud biker traffic" never stops in Daytona during Bike Week so if you want to sleep a little, travel away from the main drags. Some of these guys never sleep and they will decide to do their Dyno run at 4AM outside your hotel window if you're not careful.
