• The staff was courteous and quick to help.
• We received a smoking room (we are non smokers).

“We received a king size smoking bedroom for a family of four non-smokers. The room smelled really bad and we would not have fit in a king size bed all together. The staff was quick to help. They had no vacancies to move us to a better room, however, they offered to bring in an ionizer immediately and also brought to our room a roll away bed before we even got to the room after the check in desk.”

“It is perfectly located facing the beach. The unbelievable room we got was on the top floor with an amazing view on the beach, the marina, the International Swimming Hall of Fame. We got a junior suite which allowed us to fit our young son in the sofa bed. The staff treated us like any other customer.”

• Very well placed in cocoa beach. Terrific place for a weekend beach getaway.
• Some updating needs to occur, or there is a mold problem in some hallways. There was an odor that did not seem to go away.

“If you are looking for a family friendly hotel, close to the beach, this one was good. We visited during the off season. The staff was pleasant, our room was clean, the pool was wonderful and we enjoyed the beach. It was close to many activities in cocoa and also close to a number of restaurants. The hotel restaurant serves a very well rounded breakfast buffet that we enjoyed one morning.”

• Very comfortable hotel.
• A few cosmetic problems-some carpet could be re-stretched, sloppy paint jobs, etc. Loud air conditioner (cannot sit on balcony without turning off).

“A pleasant stay. Comfortable but not exactly outstanding. Although all the rooms have ocean views, most of them have better views of other hotels and condos. We had to turn off our AC to sit on the balcony because of the noise and heat coming from the unit. Nice size room for a family, but no place to hang swimsuits after a swim in the ocean or very small pool. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, but might also check out other hotels in the area.”

• Very clean!
• Small pool.

“From the minute we walked into this hotel the staff was very friendly and the hotel was extremely clean. We arrived early (9:30am) after having been on a cruise and were given a room despite the early arrival. Our room was very neat and clean, no complaints at all! The pool is small but you can walk directly from the hotel to the beach. The beach area was clean and very nice. There are showers to clean off the sand upon entering the pool area again after the beach. The beds were very comfortable and the linens very nice. There was a refrigerator and a microwave in the room as well and we had a partial view of the ocean. We would definitely stay here again. The only two negatives and they are slight, are: the pool was small and there are no restaurants in the immediate vicinity except for the hotel's. If you do not have a car or want to walk to eat, forget it. There is a Wendy's close by and a grocery store but other than that you need a car to get around.”

“The first time we stayed at this hotel. We received a King/no smoking room with a great view of the ocean. The only negative was the hotel had construction going on at the pool. This time it was our anniversary. At check in we were told we had a smoking room with 2 double beds. They had rooms available but could not move us due to the price we paid.”

“Pool was crowded with kids so we avoided that. Parking is easy and free. Direct beach access was a plus. Disappointing that almost all rooms are only partial ocean view. Disappointed that as a couple, we had to accept a room with 2 double beds. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to get a non-smoking room! Beds were very comfortable after we pushed them both together.”

“This was the nicest hotel I have stayed at in the Cocoa Beach area. The location is fantastic (oceanfront) and all rooms have an ocean "view". The beds were super comfortable (especially the pillows!), and the room was clean, large, and had a fridge! The pool was small, but heated enough for us to get in on a "cooler" day. We would have liked to have stayed a week instead of a night!”

• Great location, on the beach, friendly staff, and big nice room.
• Restaurant food is way over priced for the poor quality of the food.

“We were staying here just one night for a soccer tournament nearby. The hotel is right on the beach so the kids played in the sand and we got to see a delta rocket launch that evening. It was awesome. The doubletree has nice pool. We loved the hotel and the kids loved the cookies too. The staff was veering friendly and room was nice and big. The only bad I would say about the hotel are the food at the restaurant. The food was way overpriced for the poor quality. Maybe the ingredients started out premium but it sure did not need up that way on the plate. There are many other riding options nearby or if you stick with basics like a burger or sandwich you would be ok.”

• Staying for two days, the house staff did not vacuum or make beds as they were on arrival.

“The room was adequate. The room was spacious for two. We were there for two days and when returning on the second day, we saw the room had not been vacuumed; the bathroom counter where they keep the shampoos had never been dusted. We drank decaf coffee, but the replacement was regular. They should have checked.”

• It was located near where I had an appointment.
• Room closet size, noisy, no hot water, and smoking in no smoking areas.

“The hotel lobby is Spartan and drab. This decor carries throughout the entire building. It also appears to be one of the older hotels on the beach and has not been well maintained or updated. The rooms lack sufficient sound proofing. A baby in a room two doors down crying off and on all night plus loud guests returning to their rooms between 1:30 and 4 a.m. Kept me up most of the night. I am considered a sound sleeper. The ventilation is so poor that cigarette smoke from people smoking in the hallway or other rooms on a nonsmoking floor easily contaminated the air of my nonsmoking rooms. On top of all this, the hotel has an antiquated water heating system that is incapable of providing a sufficient supply to all rooms. I just stepped into the shower and lathered my hair when the warm water turned cold. I don't mean cool. I mean ice cold! This hotel does not even deserve one star let alone the three it supposedly has. I have stayed in hotels located in third world countries that were more comfortable. This was my first and last time staying in a doubletree and may be my first and last time using your service if this is typical of the hotels you list.”

“I liked the hotel, but it was clearly empty. When I arrived the person who checked us in confirmed a room for two double beds. I merely asked if we could have a king bed or two queens. She acted as if I had asked her for a million dollars. So her reaction to my request really ruined my stay. Also, on check-out there were too many charges to my room. The check-out person could not resolve them and I am still trying to reach the hotel accountant without any luck or a call back.”

• Right on a great beach. Very well kept hotel.
• The pool was temporarily closed for repairs.

“The hotel was very well kept, and very clean. You are right on the beach, which can be seen from every room. The beds are extremely comfortable, probably the most comfortable I have ever experienced in a hotel. Large refrigerators in every room, as well as a microwave, Internet connection, coffee maker and other standard amenities In August, when we traveled, the beach was not crowded at all. The NASA facilities are viewable in the distance, and the visitor center is a short drive. My wife and our young daughter had a great time as well. Seems to be perfect for couples getting away, or families traveling together. Though I doubt that is true during spring break.”

• The lady working in the gift shop was very nice.
• Rude front desk personnel and room wasn't clean or what we requested.

“We were very disappointed in the lack of service at this Doubletree and in the room itself too and the front desk people were extremely rude. The room itself was small, lacked adequate towels, wasn't clean and it smelled awful. Despite two separate requests, we never received any additional towels. Then, as we were leaving, we were talking to a room service person in the elevator, he laughingly asked if we knew anyone at that hotel and when we said no, he asked us who we'd made ticked off to get to stuck in that little room. He was trying to be funny, I think, but it really seemed to be a valid question. Although this hotel is located convenient to the car rental agencies and the cruise terminals and is directly on the beach, the lack of service and the lack of room quality made this a terrible experience and we would not recommend a stay at this hotel to anyone.”

“The Doubletree Hotel in Cocoa Beach was a pleasant pre-cruise choice right on the ocean. A friendly check-in with complimentary warm cookie and accessible fruit basket in the lobby was a nice touch. The beds were extremely comfortable , although the views from the balcony were hardly ocean view unless you obtained a higher floor you had a lovely view of the air conditioners. The property is well maintained with a restaurant on site and a pool as well as the ocean although no hot tub. ”
