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 Even though the building and the pool area are a bit outdated, the staff was very friendly and accomodating, and the room was quiet.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