Hotels near Wright Flyer Sculpture, Daytona Beach

This hotel is a little cottage in the woods sort of place…quiet, not cluttered with urban madness at your doorstep, yet easily accessed for events and adventures nearby. Driving is a must and what it might lack in some things you want… like free everything….you have the gift of seclusion and rest. The lobby and entry area is huge and possibilities endless to relax, do business or meetings, and to chill out with food, snacks, and beverages. I used canes and my walker on a bad day and navigating was easy peasy. I cannot say enough about the staff from folks out front to cleaning crew to Bistro waitress. Flat out kind. Thoughtful. Funny. Helpful. Honest.

While the front desk and breakfast staff were truly excellent, this is not a good property. Housekeeping/maintenance are very poor. The carpet needs a deep clean and the exhaust vent in the shower was coated in gunk. Plus, the housekeeping staff seemed to be more interested in finishing their work quickly instead of well (i.e., one day a supervisor kept roaming the hall talking loudly on the phone/radio early in the morning seemingly to wake guests up and another day our room wasn’t cleaned because the staff claimed we had a privacy tag on our door when we did not). The food selection at breakfast was fairly limited each day (with pretty bad scrambled eggs) but the drink station was well stocked. We have not had good luck with the RI chain as a whole lately but this one was particularly bad.

Breakfast is charged separately, and tax is about $ 23 for two people. There is free parking. Can bring children. The twin rooms are two 1.2-meter beds. The hotel is right next to the International Circuit, with convenient transportation and shopping plaza across the road.

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

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!

We stayed one night and have stayed here before. Pros: Checkin, Checkout and breakfast-all good. Room quiet, everything worked, comfortable. Cons: We found a live roach in the morning on the chest of drawers. We got a call from the front desk manager at 1 am waking us up. He asked: ”Do you have any animals in the room? I said No. He almost acted like he didnt quite believe us but said ”sorry for calling so late”. REALLY? Honestly, I have been traveling for 30+ years and have never had this happen. Here's what you do: You get off your a$$ and walk the floors until you hear the noisy animals and you knock on the door or call the room. You dont start calling people's rooms. We heard nothing so I cant imagine where the noisy animals were. Pretty much ruined our stay and our sleep.

The hotel is in an excellent location. Because it is a hard rock, the price is much higher than that of surrounding hotels. I happened to stay on the weekend, and the price of a double bed balcony room with taxes and resort fees was nearly 4,000 per night. The best thing is that the beautiful scenery is unparalleled. When you open the window, you can see the vast Atlantic Ocean. When you open the curtains, you are facing the sunrise. Especially in August, the sunrise in Orlando does not rise until 7 o'clock. There is no need to get up early. It’s extremely relaxing to watch the sunrise while stretching!

This property is very nice, and the location-INCREDIBLE! It was right on the beach and the view from my room was breathtaking! The staff was very courteous and attentive. The manager, Pat, was very kind and friendly. She made sure I had everything and more that I needed while on my stay. She suggested things to do and places to go. My room was very comfortable and clean. I highly recommend staying here!

Booked reservation well in advance prior to Hurricane Helene and made a special request to be placed on top floor (8th), due to having bad PTSD and loud noises from above will cause triggering seizures. Reservations advised they would notate the reservation and that the request was very reasonable and should not be any issue to be met, Especially since this was due to a medical request. In addition, as requested through reservations, I even did my due diligence to call the Hotel direct the day before checking into this property to assure that I would be assigned a room on the upper floor, and explained that there should be notes on the reservation stating the reason for the request and Again, I was assured that it could be met. Using the digital app to check in early the morning of the day of check-in, I received notification through the app that my room was ready at 12:07 pm and I clicked on the digital key, and it showed me the room number I was assigned to which was on the seventh floor. I then contacted the hotel direct in route to the property to inquire to why I was not on the eighth floor. The general manager is who answered the phone and was very rude and advised that there were no rooms available on the eighth floor, therefore I was placed on the seventh floor. I then advised her that I had a special needs request and was assured that it could be met and explain my reasoning for the request which she never made any apologies whatsoever that the request could not be granted. After driving 12 hours and arriving to the property around 5:30 PM that evening, and I went to click on the digital key for the room number on the 7th floor, it had been changed to the fifth floor. I inquired again to the hotel to ask why the room number had yet changed again, even though I had already checked in early and been assigned a room number and the key. I again was greeted with attitude and was advised that the emergency workers that was in the area decided to extend their stay and the room on the seventh floor was no longer available. When I inquired to how that could be possible to be assigned, not only the room number, but the key to the room if someone was still occupying it, there was no explanation provided. And in addition to all of the above, I was double charged for my stay, and when I contacted the hotel again regarding, and spoke to the same general manager, I was advised to dispute it with my credit card company and told that they knew that they had a glitch in their system and they did not know when it could be fixed! Since this trip was for my government job, I have notified my government agency of the treatment that I received from this property and it’s Manager and recommend that this property be removed from our listing for our government employees to stay while in this area.
