Pre-hotel Port Canaveral

Looking for ideas for a place to stay on the beach for 2 days before a cruise. Would love something that might have airport and cruise port shuttles.

Thanks in advance

Tough to get an airport shuttle for a 50 mile drive. If you do find a hotel with a shuttle, they are just adding the shuttle price to the room.

 

We've enjoyed the Courtyard Cocoa Beach. Easy walk to the beach and some restaurants nearby. You can do a one-way rental car from the airport to any of several rental agencies in the port area. You an also do a shuttle. We've used Cortrans many times, $20 per person.

Another vote for a one-way rental - gives you the flexibility to stay, dine and shop where you want. ;)

As Clarea said...Marriott Courtyard is nice and centrally located and the Hampton Inn next to it is in superb condition and a short walk to the beach with a nice variety of places to eat nearby. The one hotel that will be posted bu others that includes shuttle(Clarea is correct they just roll the shuttle cost in)...I personally wouldn't stay at. Hilton ocean front is nice....but not much close by if you are looking to walk to local food options. Seriously consider a rental...it will open up many options including traveling a wee bit south of Cocoa Beach to several ocean front hotels on A1A...Radisson Ocean Front, Hilton Ocean Front Melbourne, Double Tree Suites, and Crown Plaza.

Just stayed there in October and loved the place. Directly on the beach, large rooms, great beach bar, and fantastic food at the hotel restaurant. We drove up from FLL and dropped our rental at MLB. We meet up with family at the hotel and then took a car service/van to the port.
