But, we are now in the window for advanced reservations on a 1st come, 1st served for next month. You can call 321-494-5428 to make reservations for the night before the cruise. As I write this, there are BOQ rooms for $39/night and enlisted rooms for $34.75/night. We have alot more enlisted than BOQ's. Realize we do our space a based upon our occupancy. The more folks who call in, the higher the occupancy rating goes. So those who call now can do reservations 30 days out. When it rises above 65%, then its 14 days in advance. Moral of the story:....the early bird gets the worm !!!!   Bob Lewis Member Username: Nebbobl Post Number: 29 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Sunday, April 11, 2010 - 08:39 pm:    I was able to get a reservation at the Space Coast Inn for the 11th and 12th.

AND, WHEN THE TIME COMES PUT MY WIFE AND I DOWN FOR THE FIRST BUS AT ABOUT 11 AM TO THE CRUISE SHIP. THE LINE HAS EMBARCATION TIMES AS 12:30 TO 2:30 PM FOR YOUR INFO, AND THEY TELL ME THERE WILL BE FOOD AVAILABLE AFTER BOARDING.   Barry Cantor Senior Member Username: Barry_c Post Number: 992 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Friday, April 02, 2010 - 05:41 pm:    The international Palms was the "Holiday Inn Resort" a few months ago. The hotel was sold and the new owners did not have a contract with Holiday Inn. It is a large hotel with a few hundred rooms, right on the beach. For those who have not been to Patrick AFB or the Space Coast...don't mix up the place names of the cities. Cocoa FL is on the mainland. Cocoa Beach is on the outer peninsula. There are 2 peninsulas off the coast of FL. The inner one is called "Merritt Island". There's no official name for the other. Route A1A goes north-south on the outer one next to the Atlantic Ocean.   Richard Burn Member Username: Rhburn3 Post Number: 11 Registered: 07-2008 Posted on Thursday, April 01, 2010 - 06:57 pm:    I forgot, the hotel is the International Palms and Conference Center, 1300 North Atlantic Avenue, Cocoa Beach, FL   Richard Burn Member Username: Rhburn3 Post Number: 10 Registered: 07-2008 Posted on Thursday, April 01, 2010 - 06:55 pm:    Barry, The $47 rate is via Easyclicktravel.com. The actual rate is $42.50 plus the taxes you mentioned. I called the hotel today and confirmed that we have space. I understand is right on the ocean. As of this post, space is available. Easy Click has an issue with the city, so be careful you select Cocoa Beach, FL, USA. There is not space in the listing Cocoa Beach, Cocoa Beach, FL USA.   Barry Cantor Senior Member Username: Barry_c Post Number: 991 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 - 10:35 pm:    Richard: Which Holiday Inn are you refering to and where??? And does that rate include the 16% sales tax/FL lodging tax??? That would be $54.52/night!! (6% sales tax and 10% FL lodging tax)   Richard Burn Member Username: Rhburn3 Post Number: 9 Registered: 07-2008 Posted on Monday, March 22, 2010 - 06:48 pm:    I have moved to the Holiday Inn via Kayak for $47 including all taxes.   Richard Burn Member Username: Rhburn3 Post Number: 7 Registered: 07-2008 Posted on Friday, March 19, 2010 - 01:01 am:    Suggestion was made to have a back up in case we cannot stay on base after the May 12 party. I just booked a room at the Days Inn in Satellite Beach for $65 including all taxes. You can drop the rate $5 if you want to have a no refund policy. Room includes breakfast.
