Thanks for finding me, PH! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Jenn - I'm not really familiar with the Howard Johnson in Cocoa Beach. I know we've driven past it, but I couldn't tell you anything about it. We've stayed at the Inn at Cocoa Beach before a cruise.

Howard Johnson Hotels have a good reputation and we've stayed at them around the country without any complaints. If you can leave your car at the hotel, that will save you $10 per day in parking costs at the pier that you can spend on your cruise. If I were you, I'd go for it! Have a great cruise!

Not that I doubting OC's word(after all ,she is my buddy and is ever so wise),but the others have helped me alot when choosing a hotel in the area...

Great idea, PH! So many people on the Florida thread are from that area. I'm sure some of them would be familiar with the Howard Johnson. You sure have your thinking cap on tonight!!!! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

THe Howard JOhnson is an older hotel but it is decent.. Have not stayed there but knew someone who did.. It will do in a pinch.. They do offer park and ride the shuttle leaves at around 11:30 and costs about $3.00 a person but you have to let them know in advance of your arrival so they can call and make a reservation for the shuttle They will let you leave your car 5here for the cruise free. Hope this helps...

I see ruttie has replied to this. I would agree what everything she said.
