Marie51 Posted May 11, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) We have stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in St Augustine and the Hilton Garden Inn in Palm Coast just past St Augustine before cruises from Port Canaveral. It took about 2-3 hours to get to the port depending on traffic. St Augustine is only about 30 minutes drive past Jacksonville.

Rainbowfalls Posted May 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Stayed at the courtyard by Marriott Jacksonville before we thought it was pretty nice right on the beach,large pool and Whirlpool both outside with views which was neat. Rooms very clean and spacious also at the time the in room TVs had pay per view options. We also stayed at the hilton garden inn st augustine which was also nice just not as close to the beach same for the Hampton inn which we stayed at as well. I liked the Hampton more for st. Augustine just because it has an old Spanish feel to the decor and layout. Rooms are huge there and it has a small garden outside. Any of those hotels we felt safe at just the one in Jacksonville did have signs up about the hotel not being responsible for damages or theft to cars. Which whenever I see those signs it makes me wonder if its been an issue in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victrola Posted May 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2015 If I read your signature correctly you are sailing July 4th weekend. Hotels near Daytona (90 miles south of Jax) will be full and pricey, so will most I-95 exit ramp hotels. The NASCAR race is July 4th and 5th. The St. Augustine suggestions are good ones, but book soon!! Maybe World Golf Village exit or SR 16 will work. TIP: Do not drive through Jacksonville on I-95. Take either east or west I-295 bypass. East is shorter and takes you by the port. Downtown is under construction and has daily lane closures and accidents. Hope this helps!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several Courtyard properties listed for Jacksonville on the Marriott website. I prefer using Marriott so I can use my points. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO-Girl Posted June 7, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Don't know if you are planning to park at the port but several hotels in Titusville offer 40% off parking voucher if you stay there. Hope this helps.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really right on the beach which for us was a real perk even if it was freezing when we stayed lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
