The Ramada Inn Speedway stood on International Speedway Boulevard (US 92) in Daytona Beach, Florida — across from Daytona International Speedway, adjacent to the Volusia Mall. The hotel no longer operates, its phones are long disconnected, and this site takes no reservations.
About This Site
This history covers the hotel from 1997 to 2011. The rooms, rates, specials and guest comments date from the hotel’s operating years and are not current offers. The site is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Ramada Worldwide, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Daytona International Speedway, or any current operator of the property.
Where the Hotel Stood
The hotel occupied the busiest stretch of the International Speedway Boulevard corridor in mainland Daytona Beach — the commercial heart of the city, between Interstate 95 and the Halifax River. Guests arriving by air landed practically next door at Daytona Beach International Airport; guests driving took the boulevard exit from I-95 and continued east about a mile and a half. The location page records the period directions and nearby attractions with mileages.
Visiting the Area Today
The corridor remains what it always was — the gateway to the Speedway and the mainland's main street.

Frequently Asked
Is this the hotel across from the Speedway?
Yes — the Ramada Inn Speedway was a 127-room motor hotel that operated for decades on the boulevard directly opposite Daytona International Speedway's grandstands, under the name Ramada Inn Speedway for most of its life.
Can I book a room here?
No. The hotel no longer operates under this name, this site has no reservation system, and nothing on these pages is a current offer. The rates and specials pages are historical records only.
When was the hotel active?
The property's web presence ran from 1997 to roughly 2011, with the hotel itself operating well before the website existed. The 2008 renovation and 2009 brand recognition, covered in the news archive, mark the high point of its final era.
What happened to the property?
Like most of the boulevard's first hotel generation, the property eventually left the franchise system and the corridor it served changed around it. This history concludes with the renovated, award-recognized hotel of 2011. The boulevard's story continues; the hotel's story is complete, and it is told here.
Why document a roadside hotel?
Roadside hotels are where much of American travel happened. A rate card with the Daytona 500 sold out at $239, a guestbook of cruise families and race fans, and a golf package typed up in 1997 are primary documents of how ordinary people saw Florida. The news archive supplies the wider chronology.
