This place needs some maintenance and upkeep. Overall it was okay, didn't have roaches or anything disgusting like that. Staff was helpful. The tiki bar was not open in June - they really should not advertise it as having a bar. You get what you pay for.

We stayed one night at Island Hotel of the Space Coast after our cruise and visited the Kennedy Space Center. Even though the building and the pool area are a bit outdated, the staff was very friendly and accomodating, and the room was quiet. The price included a continental breakfast. A good value-for-price for a short stay.
