What Cities for Port Canaveral

[VolzCruiser]

I am looking to stay the night before my cruise in the Port Canaveral area and I am wondering what cities that I need to be looking in for hotels. There seems to be a lot of different communities in the area but was wondering which of these would be best.

The port itself actually has a great website. Lots of info about the port, cruising, which rental car agencies have port area drop offs, hotels, attractions, and surrounding communities. After some research we decided to stay in Cocoa Beach.

I suspect you are flying into Orlando. If so, you have some options. Basically Orlando hotels, Disney area, Universal area, etc or you can stay in the Port Canaveral/Cocoa Beach area. Orlando is about an hour from Port Canaveral. Your choice depends on when you want to drive or be shuttled that hour. Stay in Orlando and visit Downtown Disney or a Disney park and drive to the port the next day or drive the day you arrive and stay at a hotel near the beach and ship.

Check out Residence Inn or Comfort Inn and Suites, the newest ones at Cape Canaveral.

All good responses. The 3 closest are the Radisson, The Residence and the Country Inn and suites.
