Three and 1/2 star resort in Cocoa Beach?

[FredS]

Any idea which resort(s) in Cocoa Beach are labeled as 3 1/2 stars on Hotwire? Rate isn't that good, but it might depend on which resort(s) are potentially available.

Anyone have a clue? Thanks!

Probably either the Hilton or the Doubletree. Neither place is spectular, but I'm sure they'd classify themselves as 3½ stars. If the rate's not that good, I'd wait and try again later.

Don't think I'll go with Hotwire reservations just now, although I'm almost to the point of just making a reservation just to get it over with.

As most of you know, you can make yourself a little crazy what with all of the options on all of the facets of a cruise vacation!

I didn't use Hotwire - but I used Priceline and got the Doubletree (three rooms for two nights) for $39 a night. The lowest price posted on their website for my dates was $130.

I was booked at the Raddisson for $119.00 in a suite - but to save this much money and the Doubletree is on the beach - it was worth it!

Mmouse37 is staying there soon - and I asked her to give us an update on the hotel - I haven't seen a trip report on this hotel lately.

Just kidding, tpseller. I saw your earlier post about Priceline and tried that. It rejected my bid at $39 and a second at $43. I thought I'd give hotwire a shot and that is where I was offered the 3 1/2 * resort, but at $80 per night. Not really interested, unless it was some extraordinary place I was unaware of.

I will wait three days and try Priceline again. How far out did you make your reservation? Thanks!

Sorry for the taunting FredS!

I saw the post by Mmouse37 and decided to try it myself. Mmouse37 - I think got the rooms about a month or so before the cruise. I have heard you have the most luck within the 30 day window.

Even though my cruise is not till Early May, I decided to try anyway. So I was booking about 3 months out.

I got a room for my parents and one for my family for two nights. Then I went back on about 10 minutes later and got another room for my inlaws for one night. I was worried that they might put them at another hotel - but luckily we got the same one.

Good Luck!!!!
