The Daytona, Autograph Collection
"The 4.7 boutique Speedway-view Marriott Autograph — 187 reviews, top-tier subratings."
About The Hotel
The Daytona, Autograph Collection is a 4.7-rated (187 reviews) boutique Marriott Autograph Collection motorsport-themed hotel at 1870 Victory Circle — literally across from Daytona International Speedway. Amenities include a pool, Blue Flame Bar & Restaurant with bartenders (Jessica and Fabian) reviewers repeatedly call out, EV charging, fitness center, bowling offsite, tennis offsite and rooms overlooking pit road. Subratings are top-tier: 4.9 cleanliness, 4.9 location, 4.9 rooms, 4.6 service, 4.8 sleep quality and 4.6 value across a small 187-review sample. A 5-star praised the motorway theme and 2nd-floor lobby-bar setup; a 2-star flagged the property as not as pristine as a visit five years ago — worth noting the sample size and reading the freshest reviews. Not oceanfront (3 miles inland from the beach) and not an in-room jacuzzi property — the appeal is the Speedway-view boutique motorsport-immersion experience for race weekends.
What Guests Are Saying
“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.” — Ivory R., 5 stars
“One of the best Hotels I’ve ever stayed at. I stayed here during Daytona Bike Week 2026. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. They gave me a $15 a day credit to go towards food and drinks. They gave a daily complementary drink. The Blue Flame restaurant is top tier. Fabian is one of the best bar tenders that I have ever been served by. Jessica is nice as well. Food was great and the drinks were well worth the price. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and will definitely return. If I had to say one negative thing, it would be about the price. I checked in Wednesday and checked out Sunday. The entire stay was $1800 which is diabolical, lol, but I understand it was due to the event.” — Latrell B., 5 stars
“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.” — NicoleG, 5 stars

What guests are saying about The Daytona, Autograph Collection.
"Stayed 1 night here at The Daytona hotel, and it was a delightful experience! First off the bat the variety of electric vehicle chargers were helpful to us. There are 2 Tesla Destination chargers and 2 Chargepoint J772 connectors, however the Tesla Destination charger to the right is broken (1/2 working). Lobby was unique - with a large variety of retired race cars on display, which was cool to see! Room was great as well, clean and comfortable. The balcony in my room was large and had chairs to sit. Variety of snacks/drinks available for purchase inside the room as well. The hotel is located in a nice location, with a variety of shopping and dining options within walking distance like PF Changs, Costco, Wawa, Bass Pro Shops, and 4 rivers BBQ to name a few. Overall a wonderful experience! The next time I’m back in Daytona beach I’ll be sure to stay here!"

His personality, warm smile, and excellent service truly made our experience enjoyable. However, the young lady working with him was the opposite. She was not welcoming, came across as rude, and her attitude was very unpleasant. For a bartender, customer service is important, and unfortunately, she did not provide that. We actually had to tell her that we preferred for Fabian to take care of us because of the way she spoke to us."
