Fodor's Expert Review Courtyard Daytona Beach Speedway/Airport

If you're visiting Daytona Beach for something other than surf and sand (a certain iconic racing facility comes to mind), this smartly located Marriott is the perfect base. It's within walking distance to Daytona International Speedway, surrounding restaurants and shopping venues, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Public spaces include a pool and barbecue picnic area with umbrella-shaded tables for outdoor dining and a chic lobby area with media pods and a mounted flat-screen (often tuned to NASCAR). The lobby Bistro serves breakfast and dinner.
