How bad is daytona????

[Denial]

I have wanted to go to a daytona show for about 4 years now and never get a chance to go. And I have really been thinking about driving down this year im in south carolina so im a little ways away but since I have never been I was wondering how bad is it down there I know florida is pretty expensive but what are the hotel prices somewhere around the show? I really dont want to drive down and then just drive back lol. And is traffic crazy down there like in atlanta?

traffic is no where near as bad as atlanta. good luck trying to find a room this late.

well I dont absoulty have to have a room. Ive drove to florida for a day and drove back before so Its not to to bad but Im still debating.

[Lucas339]

from what i understand, the rooms are all booked up. its not a bad drive but if you are a serious looker, it will take you more than a day. maybe someone will let you crash on their hotel couch!

its worth going even for the day!!

Do you happen to know the actual address for the show? I mapquest daytona beach and its only right at 7 hours for me so thats not to bad.

We stayed at a hotel by the interstate last year for only $60-70 bucks a night. We had to drive a few miles to the show.

Its worth the drive every time for me but I drive 4 hrs. There's plenty of hotel and motel rooms I wouldn't worry about that.

Rooms are $59 a night right now for August 21st through August 23rd.

I've stayed there every year I've gone to Daytona (because I bring my dog). About 5 miles out from the Convention Center.
