Any info on Quality Suites?

Has anyone stayed at the Quality Suites at Cocoa Beach the night before their cruise? What's it like? What about the free shuttle? Do you have to sign up ahead of time? Does it actually depart from the Radisson and is that where the free parking is located? Is it a hassle to do this? Thinking I might drop everyone off at the port and then take the shuttle myself. Does that work better than everyone getting on the shuttle with their luggage? I'd also heard that the free hot breakfast they advertise as part of their Aloha Cruise package is no longer available. Has anyone stayed their recently and know the answers to these questions?

I've booked it for May 19th before our Wonder cruise but still wasn't sure about it.

Oh, one more question, how big is their waterfall spa?

Thanks! I really appreciate any info.

P.S. If you can't tell, we're cruisin for the first time. LOL.

We spent 2 nights at the Quality Suites last January. We had taken a 4-night Carnival Fantasy cruise (stayed at the Radisson the night before that one, left our vehicle in their parking lot and took their shuttle to the ship). After that cruise we had 2 nights before our 7-night Disney Magic cruise. We had originally wanted to again stay at the Radisson but they were booked, so we stayed at the Quality Suites instead. The 2-room suite was very nice with an actual bedroom (I hate it when they say "suite" but just have a "partition" separating the living room and "bedroom) instead of it really being 2 complete rooms with a door between them) and living room. It had 2-TV's, a wet bar, microwave and coffee maker, iron and ironing board, etc. The breakfast is included and had hot items as well as all the "regular" bagels, muffins, etc. There was no free parking or shuttle for the cruise though, at least not that we were aware of. Their parking area is very minimal. We drove to port and left our vehicle there for our Magic cruise.

We stayed at the Quality Suites in October. It was very nice. They do not have a pool, just a hot tub, but they are just a block or so from the beach. The rooms are huge with a separate bedroom and living area. Although we did not use it, we were offered a free shuttle with an option to leave our car there during our cruise. We picked up a coupon from the Travel Guide and saved $20 off our stay.

It sounds pretty good so far. Thanks for the replies. Any others?
