Holiday Inn Express Hotels in Daytona Beach

Stopped in for a drink and to watch the game and had an amazing experience with the AMAZING bartender Nikki! She crafted amazing drinks and was personable, charismatic and fun to interact with. Atmosphere was good. Drinks and food were great. Music was good too. Would recommend!

The higher floor was great. The view is beautiful patio was comfortable. The room was very quiet even though it was near the elevator there was no problem at all. The beds were comfortable the pillows were very soft but not my style however they were great the Jacuzzi has no jets working. Justin at the front desk said That since the water was hot it was half working. I overall had a great time and I would stay here again it’s right on the beach and it has a good pool a nice Children swim area separate from the pool with the fence and the parking was free. All the staff were very nice overall

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 did not stay at the holiday inn but went there to eat and have a few drinks the 2 nights we were in town for the Daytona 500. We’ve been to Daytona Beach countless times and really enjoy going to the Holiday Inn over the tourist trap restaurants which are usually crowded and “less clean”. This trip, we met Milly on the first night. She was a lovely bartender and server. Milly has the sweetest personality and was on point with everything. Super-friendly young lady! We walked in on night 2 and she walked right over to us with our beverage of choice and chatted for a bit. Also a shout out to the kitchen because the food on both occasions was delicious. We’ve also been there for lunch during the day and ate out on the extensive patio which is very nice. Definitely check this place out and if you do, be sure and ask for Milly!

Old hotel with kitchen, convenient and good location.

This place rocks. I had a chance to meet the General Manager while on site. What a wonderful gal. The rooms are top notch as is the staff. The food and beverage are to die for as well. I will be going back often. We had perfect weather and there are many fun things to do in the area.

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 !

Not bad, very pretty Facilities: a bit old Health: quite clean Environment: Nice. There is a big window where you can watch the sunrise in the room. Service: The communication is not very clear, overall it’s okay^_^ The hotel's heated swimming pool and hot spring are nice and comfortable
