My brother and I are going to be riding down to Daytona from STL next year for bike week. I just wanted to see what ya'll think about places to stay, things to do and stuff of that nature. I would love to hear some stories about times you've been and anything else concerning it, as well!

 

I haven't been in a while so I don't have any recommendations other than you best be booking your hotel pretty soon, they fill up quick mostly with those who attended Bike Week 2016. Be prepared to stay a ways from Daytona.

 

Thank you for the response, sir. I plan to book the hotel tomorrow. I figured I'd put up a post and see if I can get some recommendations.

 

You'll get some good advice I'm sure. There are some great folks on here. Good luck, ride safe.

 

Hilton is at he foot of main St and has indoor parking.

 

and the best bbq is right across the street

 

The best bbq is in Deland behind Lowe's at a place called Rachel's wing shack. The fried chicken livers are pretty damn good too.

 

Chicken livers!

 

We stayed in Ormond beach about 5 miles north of Daytona. You can go on VRBO like we did and rent a house for the week. Usually around $1000 to $1200 a week. I'm guessing much the same as a hotel would cost during bike week. Like one of the previous posts said I wouldn't wait too long to book. It's busy there during bike week.
Cheers and safe riding!

 

Not sure how long you are going to be at bike week but I would plan a ride down to key west and stay there a night or two.

I am lucky when I go to Daytona as my buddy's daughter lives close to Daytona so we stay there. We normally take a day and ride to Key West and party there for a night or two and then head back.

As other said reserve soon and also in Key West as they fill up quick for rooms too.
