HAMPTON INN COCOA BEACH, Cocoa Beach

The Hampton Inn Cocoa Beach is situated on the beach side of the street, with a direct 100-yard walkway to the beach behind the outdoor pool - no roads to cross. Higher floors (5-8) offer ocean views from private balconies. Historic Cocoa Village is 13 km away with shopping and dining. Ron Jon Surf Shop and a range of casual restaurants such as Taco Bell, Brano's Italian Grill, and Nosh are within a 0.5 km walk. The Port Canaveral cruise terminal is about 5 km (3-8 km) from the hotel. Orlando International Airport is about 83 km (84 km) away. The hotel is a short distance from great spots to watch rocket launches, especially from the beach.

Standard rooms include a private bathroom, air conditioning, a tea and coffee maker, seating area, flat-screen cable TV, and free toiletries. Many rooms feature a private balcony; higher floors provide clearer ocean and launch views. All rooms are equipped with a microwave, small refrigerator, coffee maker, and ironing facilities. Some room configurations include a sofa bed - ideal for families of up to 4 people. A limited number of connecting rooms (king to double-queen with sofa bed) are available; booking directly with the hotel is recommended to secure one. The property is older but rooms are generally described as clean, practical, and comfortable, though some minor wear is reported. For sleep quality, upper-floor rooms away from the pool and main road are quieter. Rollaway beds are available for double-queen rooms (tight fit), and a limited number of rooms can accommodate sofa beds.

Breakfast is included in the rate and offers a hot buffet with waffles, eggs, meats, pastries, fruit, and coffee. Due to changes, it is no longer an open buffet but remains a full self-service style with a good variety. The breakfast area can get very busy between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., especially on cruise departure days. The hotel does not have its own restaurant for lunch or dinner, but guests can order food and drinks from the Marriott Bistro next door and charge to their room. A tiki bar operates by the pool on weekends, serving beer and wine. A minimarket and vending machines are also available on site. Walking-distance dining options include Taco Bell, Brano's Italian Grill, Nosh, Waffle House, Epic Burrito Company, 3 Scoops Ice Cream, and Dairy Queen.

The outdoor swimming pool is heated to 27.8 °C and open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. It is a clean, well-maintained pool with new furniture and towels provided. A tiki bar serves beer and wine on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays - a popular spot for a drink after the beach. The property also provides direct access to a sand beach via a 100-yard path; beach chair and umbrella rentals are available from a third party. The fitness centre is free for guests. Guests can also snorkel or take surfing lessons near the hotel. The nearby Marriott hotel's pool and amenities are shared with this property. The hotel does not have a spa or hot tub.
