Boardwalk Inn and Suites

Boardwalk Inn and Suites sits at 301 South Atlantic Avenue, right along the stretch of oceanfront that gives Daytona Beach’s boardwalk and pier district its name. It’s an independently owned hotel, a detail the property’s own marketing leans into directly, describing the kind of “warm, personalized hospitality that only an independently-owned hotel can deliver,” in contrast to the branded towers that line much of the beachside strip to the north and south. The hotel is a low rise, motor-inn style building rather than a high rise resort, which keeps the scale more intimate than its Hilton, Hard Rock, and Marriott-branded neighbors nearby.

Rooms come in both traditional hotel configurations and suites. Standard rooms are available with two queen beds or one king bed, in either city view or oceanfront exposures, with several oceanfront options including a private balcony. Suites step up from there with two queen beds and additional living space, again with a choice of city or ocean views. Every room includes free WiFi, a flat-screen TV with cable, a microwave, mini-refrigerator, and complimentary coffee, the kind of practical extras that matter on a beach trip where guests are coming and going all day.

The property’s centerpiece amenity is BB’s Tiki and Beachside Bar, an oceanfront bar serving tropical drinks steps from the sand, plus an oceanfront pool and hot tub for guests who’d rather not deal with sand and surf every hour of the day. A fitness center, guest laundry, business center, and a 24 hour marketplace round out the amenity list, along with 24/7 front desk coverage and on-site parking, useful during Bike Week or race weekends when parking anywhere near the beach gets tight. The hotel also offers a complimentary sunset photoshoot for guests, a small but distinctive touch for a property of this size.

Because it sits directly on the boardwalk, Boardwalk Inn and Suites puts guests within walking distance of the Daytona Beach Pier, the bandshell, and the shops and arcades that make up the old boardwalk amusement strip, along with direct beach access from the property itself. That location, combined with the tiki bar and pool deck, makes it a natural fit for travelers who want an oceanfront stay with some energy to it rather than a quiet retreat. The hotel is led on site by a general manager and a director of hotel operations, a level of dedicated, hands-on management that’s typical of a serious independent operator rather than a corporate franchise running off a standardized playbook.

For booking or questions, the hotel can be reached at 386-253-8300 or by email at reservations@boardwalkhoteldaytonabeach.com. Given its central boardwalk location, rates shift noticeably with the calendar, climbing during Bike Week, Biketoberfest, and race weekends at Daytona International Speedway, so travelers working around those events should expect to book early and compare rates for their specific dates.
