kelbell Posted January 6, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Looking at both places, booking two rooms and both offer free breakfast. All opinions welcome. Pre-cruise. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 6, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I've heard good things about both. We've stayed many times at the Residence Inn and have been very pleased. There is a Hertz office right in the parking lot. The Residence Inn also offers true two-bedroom suites (both bedrooms with a private bathroom), so can be useful for families or two couples traveling together. I don't know if the Country Inn offers that arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelbell Posted January 6, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Thank you, I like the two bedroom idea will be looking into that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO-Girl Posted January 6, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Also check out the Homewood Suites right across the street. Also free breakfast. Newest of the hotels in that area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteerageJoe Posted January 6, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Country Inn and Suites All rooms offer a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The Family Suite rooms are particularly nice because you get a living area and two bedrooms with a queen bed in one and two single beds in the other. The kids room has its own TV so they can watch their own shows. You can also opt for a One-Bedroom Suite – a king or two queens in the bedroom and a pull-out queen sofa in the living room. Each room has its own TV. Honeymoon couples can opt for a Whirlpool Suite – king bed with a two-person whirlpool tub! Standard Rooms feature king or two queen beds How about Cruise Ship views? As seen below there are limited views of the cruise terminals from the top floors of the north facing rooms. Residence Inn All rooms offer a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The Two-bedroom Suite rooms (max 6 people) are particularly nice because you get a living area separating two bedrooms each with a king bed as well as 2 bathrooms. The living room has a sofa bed. You can add one rollaway bed for $15 extra per night. There is a TV in each of the 3 rooms. You can also opt for a One-Bedroom Suite (max 6 people) – a king or two queens in the bedroom and a pull-out queen sofa in the living room. You can add one rollaway bed for $15 extra per night. There is a TV in each of the 2 rooms. Studio Rooms (max 4 people) feature a king bed and a sofa bed. You can add one rollaway bed for $15 extra per night. How about Cruise Ship views? You have very limited views of terminal 1 from the top floors of the front of the building. Homewood Suites The Studio Suites and One-bedroom Suites can sleep up to 6 (2 on the queen pull-out sofa, 2 on the queen bed and 2 on the queen bed). Cruise ship views from the higher floors (6th is best), odd-numbered rooms face the pool and Port area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live nearby so no need for hotels in Canaveral for me, but I have seen many rooms when meeting friends and family (then I take the pictures you see!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_BJ Posted January 8, 2019 #9 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Country Inn experienced significant water damage in the hurricane (near miss) back a couple of years ago .... they were closed for many months one MIGHT read into this that they have had significant refurbishments ......

snorklinbarb Posted January 20, 2019 #11 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Would be flying in. Do any of the above offer a complimentary or reasonable shuttle from MCO? How about a shuttle to the pier the next day? Even if there is a small charge pp. Or how much would a taxi run (only 2 people). No car so parking pkgs n.a. Any ever show up on Priceline or Hotwire? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Hill Cruisers Posted January 21, 2019 #12 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Great recommendations on hotels. Question: if we book for two nights in the port area, are there places to see or things to do in the port area or will we be sort of confined to our hotels?
