Trip Report Cape Canaveral

After spending the night at the Howard Johnson in Ocala and a nice breakfast there we went on to Cape Canaveral to the Radisson Hotel.  We always stay at this hotel.  The rooms are clean and the location is close to the port.  Up until this last year it was free to park and ride to the cruise ship.  This has now changed and you either have to purchase the cruise package room or add it on to your stay.  Parking here is still less expensive than at the port - especially if you are in an RV - the price is the same as it is for a car.  I would recommend this if your cruise is 5+ days as well.  For the shorter cruises the new parking garage at the port is a very nice option.  I will tell you more about this tomorrow.

The rooms at the Radisson are very spacious and clean.  I have noticed that they do look used.  We have always had missing knobs or little things that were not a big deal, but do distract from the hotel.  We usually get the king suite which has a seperate room for the kids with a couch that becomes a bed.  I always enjoy the space after a long drive or getting off a ship.  The shuttle service to the ship is very efficiently run and the parking lot is secure.
The pool at the Radisson is beautiful and there are also tennis courts available.  There was live music by the pool and it was a great atmosphere.  We walked next door for dinner at a Greek restaurant that was reasonably priced and had good food.  We have also walked to the other side to a nice little Itallian place and enjoyed the meal there as well.  There is also a mini golf in walking distance of this hotel.
