Hampton is the value beach pick. You get the ocean, a free breakfast and cruise parking at $15 a night — right in line with the Cape Canaveral hotels a few miles closer.
What you don't get is a shuttle, so budget a taxi or rideshare for the morning. If you'd rather have the ride handled, Courtyard is a few doors up the same road.
Book it if
- Beach lovers who don't need a shuttle
- Drivers on a longer sailing, where $15 a night adds up slowly
- Travelers with a pet
Look elsewhere if
- You want a hotel-run ride to the ship.
- You want the shortest drive on sail morning.

EV charging: not on site. Clearance and oversized parking aren't published. The port's garages take oversized vehicles; check the port's parking page for clearance before you bring anything tall.
