Oceanfront hotel in Port Canaveral

[gt_mustang_gal]

Any recommendations for a NICE oceanfront hotel in Port Canaveral? I am not interested in being close to the port or staying somewhere that has a shuttle to the port. We are planning to spend several nights on the beach prior to the cruise. So we want to find an oceanfront room with a balcony at a hotel that has plenty of amenities. Any advice???

The DoubleTree is nice or a favorite is the Inn at Cocoa Beach. innatcocoabeach.com

I checked those two out and they are very nice. But ummmm....how about an oceanfront hotel that is under $250/night? LOL

Many nice properties. Holiday Inn, Courtyard by Mariott, Best Western to name a few.

Here are some choices for you -

 

These first are in Cape Canaveral

ROOM INFORMATION PER REQUEST

None of the rooms will give you an ocean view since they are several blocks from the ocean. The standard rooms are only 2 stories. the suite buildings are 3 stories. If you want a good view of the ships in port, the best recommendation is the 300 building for standard rooms and either the 200 or 400 building for suites. the 200 building is closer to the pool but the ship view may be better in the 400 building. The pool area may get quite noisy so if you want a quiet area request courtyard view. The most favorite rooms are in the 800 building 2nd floor facing the pool. Be aware that most of the pool side rooms are king rooms. There are just a few rooms with 2 beds facing the pool.

You CAN see the ships from the north side of the property. buildings 100, 200, 300 and 400. 300 and 400 give the best views. btw, the Glory and the Mariner are so big, they usually block the views of the other ships. Due to the construction of high rise condo's and according to Joe P. the GM, there are a few rooms that will only give small views of the ships.

 

A PS from Joe P the GM

The Cruise package includes breakfast and is available at all times

We do shuttle any hotel guest to the port

And at times we do offer discounts on rooms available on the internet and have special conditions such as no refund and prepayment

November 23, 2007 - this is the latest news from Joe P. concerning the rooms that have some view of the port and also Joe is having health issues so please keep him in your prayers.

 

Dear Shirley – sorry about the delay here – but I have been out and still am from work with a detached retina and there have been some problems.

But there are some rooms where you can see the ships – but none that have a wide open view of the port any more.

$3 shuttle to the port (Cocoa Beach Shuttle). Some rates may offer free shuttle.

Great and best thing offered is a free continental breakfast

Offers rates with park and cruise but it’s been confirmed that you can leave your car without paying for a park and cruise rate.

Kelly Hutchinson is your GM there and a sweetie to work with if you have any issues, questions etc.

Another place which is high on my recommendation list

Most other hotels will let you leave your car but call and double check. For instance, Wakulla Suites will not let you leave your car.
