Lorrie at the front desk was wonderful. Grounds and breakfast area were clean. Nice selection for breakfast that included scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, and waffles. Most rooms have great views of the ocean. Upper floor ocean front has the best view. The suites are very spacious and have a view of the beach in one direction. Rooms were clean and beds are comfortable. Decor was current with nice flat screen. The side rooms (ocean view, not ocean front) will have a little more noise from a band that plays next door. They stopped playing at 11 pm the night we were there. Shuttle service to cruise port was easy and efficient. Would stay here again!

The hotel is located next to a bar that has awful as well as awfully loud music that can be heard in the room, even with the air conditioning running. If you don't mind waiting to go to sleep until the band finishes their last set, then it is a good place to stay. We found a travel coupon for the hotel, which made the price quite reasonably for a beach location. Staff very friendly, rooms were updated, clean and spacious.

Stayed at this location last year and was pleasantly surprised. The breakfast was pretty decent for free with more than just rolls and cereal...had sausage, bacon, oatmeal, fruit etc. The eggs are kinda blech but I don't eat them anyway. The rooms were clean and the view was pretty good considering I booked it at almost the last minute. The outside sitting area is beautiful with the waterfalls and the walk to the beach is an easy walk from the pool area. I liked it so much, I'm making it an annual trip now! Only 5-6 minutes from RonJon's and the Pier is just steps away.

I do not know why this hotel rates so highly for Cocoa Beach. Just spent three nights there with my family and was very disappointed.

Pros:
- Location: it is right on the beach and if you get an oceanfront room as we did, the views are gorgeous. It's also right next to the pier - though a bit noisy at night with music (which can be heard at the hotel), is is nice to be able to walk over for a quick meal or drink.

Cons:
- Plumbing is very old. When we checked in and first used the bathroom we found that both the sink and the shower drains were clogged, the bathtub spout was very loose and felt like it was going to fall off, the shower drain cap did not work.
- Housekeeping needs more vigilence. The floors are filthy. The lamps are dusty. Just overall poor. Not to mention that in three nights, housekeeping only came once. When I called the front desk, the woman said we must have left our do not disturb tag on. We did not. There was no apology.
- The furniture, mattress, towels, etc., seem very old and outdate. Chipped and torn furniture, very squishy mattress with a dent in the middle, scratchy and threadbare towls. The room had definitely seen better days.
- Breakfast is gross. From the styrofoam plates to the half-frozen mini-muffins and powdered scrambled eggs, it was one of the worst hotel-provided breakfasts I ever had. We went once and never went back despite the fact that it is included in the price of the room.

While I did not go in expecting 5 stars given other reviews, I really don't understand how this hotel stays near the top of the list with so many other options nearby. I can't imagine that they are all
