The Daytona, Autograph Collection

I had high expectations for my stay at the Autograph. I visited here once about five years ago and remembered the hotel being modern and clean. Based on recent reviews, I expected it to live up to the praise. Before arriving, I made a few simple special requests — a feather-free room due to allergies, plus extra towels and toiletries since I declined housekeeping and wanted extras on hand. I even followed up by email beforehand. Aside from the feather-free room, none of the other requests were taken care of. Unfortunately, the room itself also felt far from clean or well maintained. There were fingerprints still visible around the room, the closet door was broken, and the bathroom was especially disappointing. The shower looked worn and dirty, particularly the grout. The shower door handle was loose, and the hose attached to the shower head was peeling apart. The sink cold faucet handle also leaked at the base. The toilet was also in rough shape, with the upper lid broken. What really bothered me was on the last day when I dropped something near the edge of the bed and found old nail clippings underneath. That was honestly gross and made me more than ready to leave after only three nights. The hotel didn’t even seem crowded during my stay, which made it even more disappointing that the room didn’t feel properly cleaned or prepared before our arrival.

Everything!!! Nice place everything clean

Nothing

Hotel's located right across the street from the Daytona Speedway. The hotel adopts a motorway theme throughout. Outside is clean and maintained. Lobby's located on the 2nd floor, as well as the Blue Flame Bar & Restaurant. Check in process was uneventful. Staff was friendly. My request for a room on a high floor with a great view was accommodated. The patio overlooked the courtyard outside. Room was immaculate, as well as bathroom. Enclosed walk-in shower was large. Will definitely stay here in the future, as well as patronage the Blue Flame Bar, for drinks served by Fabian.

We stayed at the Marriott in Daytona Beach recently. Kassidy was one of the best bartender I've ever had! She made every drink perfect, and had this amazing energy that made the whole experience feel special. Highly recommend the Marriott Resort just for her alone.

Amazing hotel! You ever check into a hotel and immediately think, “Yeah… this ain’t average”? That’s The Daytona. Built with that clean, modern, motorsports energy… right across from the speedway, but still smooth enough to feel like a getaway. Guests consistently rave about how clean, spacious, and polished everything feels, with standout service across the board. ⭐ Rating Card ⭐ Location: 5/5 ⭐ Rooms: 5/5 ⭐ Dining: 5/5 ⭐ Pool & Amenities: 5/5 ⭐ Design & Vibe: 5/5 Most hotels? Just boxes with beds. This one? This one got personality. Clean rooms, strong service, real food, and a pool that makes you rethink your whole lifestyle for about 3 hours straight. 🍹 And the best part? You don’t even have to be a race fan to feel the energy… but it doesn’t hurt. 🏁 Final Word Five-star hotel… but more importantly… a five-star feeling. And once you get that… regular hotels start feeling real basic.
