This is an old property lack of maintenance, I think still have the original appliance. Not the best to sleep and rest, old window AC making noise as well as the bathroom faucet. The room cleanliness was not the best, the floor had dust. Staff super courteous.

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 Even though the building and the pool area are a bit outdated, the staff was very friendly and accomodating, and the room was quiet.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.
