In medieval times, inns served as a social hub for roaming brigands, unemployed dragons, and illuminated manuscript authors searching for their muse. Write a weekend memoir with today’s Groupon: for $75, you get a one-night stay at The August Seven Inn for you and one guest in Daytona Beach (up to a $154 value).

Built by wealthy businessman James N. Gamble as a guesthouse in 1896, The August Seven Inn expertly layers modern amenities over Victorian architecture, providing private, comfortable lodging to bedless wanderers. Choose from one of eight immaculately prepared rooms, each with private whirlpool bath and beds made with unfiltered cloud fluff (based on availability; honeymoon suite 1022 not available). Room 1205 makes for a cozy hide-away with its fireplace, cool gray walls, and warm cherry wood butler, while room 623 beckons sealubbing guests with nautical décor and knotty pine paneling After a day of wind-surfing and marlin wrestling (beach towels, blankets, and chairs provided as courtesy), take a DVD and complimentary popcorn back to your domicile to sink into dreamville, aided by a soothing sound machine and slumber-scented pillows.

Located just four blocks from the beach and within walking distance to downtown, The August Seven Inn is situated to pamper both the entertainment and relaxation nodules of its guests. If Daytona Beach’s action-dense checklist of shops, eateries, tennis courts, and above-ground nightclubs don’t float one’s yacht, relax on The August Seven Inn’s spacious veranda, or spend quality time in the Tranquility Room sampling one of two Human Touch massage chairs. High-speed Internet access is available throughout the inn, and towering hospitality by innkeepers Peter and Joseph makes stays cozier and guests feel less like cubicle-trapped sasquatches.
