General - We came here for our 2026 winter vacation. We were looking for sun and sand and found it…read morein Melbourne Beach! Location - This hotel is located on a long strip of white, sandy beach between Cocoa Beach and Vero Beach. We loved that the resort sat right on the beach with rooms facing the ocean which allowed for breathtaking views of the Atlantic. Plenty of shopping and food choices are just up the road from this hotel and the Cocoa Beach area is not too far to the north if you are looking to do anything in that area. Rooms & Building - Rooms are all suites and are spacious. They reminded me of what you would find normally at an Embassy Suites. Each room offered a balcony that faced the ocean and the beach. The style and theme was modern nautical which fit the surrounding area. The room had a fridge and microwave and two bedrooms. The bathroom had a spacious rainfall shower. Amenities - The hotel has an outdoor pool & hot tub and large sun deck with multiple loungers. The pool was heated to a enjoyable temp and the hot tub had good jets. Access to the beach is just a short walk from the sun deck. You can purchase an umbrella and two chairs for $40 a day. Food - Like every Doubletree location, warm cookies are always available whenever you want. We were staying here during Valentine's Day and they offered a fun and creative date night menu. Food was good but it was a tad pricey. There was a pool bar that offered drinks and food. We liked the bucket drinks - great price and strong. Vibe - Easy going beach vibe from staff and customers. No complaints. Reality vs. Online - Pictures that I saw on their website and online matched the quality and condition of the hotel and rooms in-person. No surprises. Price & Final Verdict - This choice offers a great beach-centered hotel yet it is close enough for shopping, nightlife and food. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, so whether you are looking for a relaxing balcony or a sandy spot on the beach, this location offers a great choice for everyone.

Our room was clean and large with a separated bedroom and had fridge/microwave. Sleep quality was good, bed was soft and comfortable. We were here for some family activities so did not take advantage of the common areas , pool or beach. My only negatives were the water pressure being weak, balcony door is a BEAST to open. It was a little jarring to find the doors to rooms are on the outside (like a motel) so if you are afraid of heights book a lower floor. Lovely hotel and staff (thank you JJ!) and the chocolate chip cookies were very tasty!

Plenty of good restaurant options as well, not to mention proximity to Cape Canaveral for the occasional launch.

Kim was kind enough that she showed us 3 other alternatives available and offered us a full refund if we didn't like any.

Located on a stretch of secluded beach, the resort has a wonderful "Old Florida" vibe. The two bedroom, one bath apartments are "beachy": tile floors, comfy furniture, good beds, well-equipped kitchens. Website photos are spot-on! 2. Led by owner Wendell, the staff--Flor, Lillian, and Carol--meticulously maintain the property. The paint's fresh and colorful, landscaping is impeccable, everything's clean, and every issue is addressed immediately. When we had a small glitch with our air conditioner, a repairman remedied it as soon as Wendell learned about it. 3. There's a real sense of community among the guests, many of whom are regulars. Because of its small size, there's an intimacy that we seldom encounter in larger resorts. Our dog Mo made friends with everyone, including other four-legged visitors. 4. Guests are welcome to no-charge commercial grade washers and dryers, fridges and freezers full of snacks and beverages, a barbecue area with gas grills and tables, and plenty of beach-side seating. We even caught a couple of SpaceX launches from the beach. 5. Outdoor activities: I'm a cyclist and the stretch of A1A that SSR sits on is perfect for flat-land riding. Sebastian Inlet State Park and Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, the nation's first NWR, are close by. I'm not a fisherman, but other guests did plenty of fishing from the beach. 6. As city dwellers, we don't spend much time driving. That said, there are plenty of excellent restaurants within a half-hour of SSR. Two of our favorites: El Ambia Cubano and Oh Biscuit in Melbourne.

The rooms have clearly been updated while still keeping some of the original décor, which gives it a bit of charm. I had a partial ocean view from my balcony and it was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the breeze. The kitchen is small but worked great for my needs. There's no oven, but it does have a two-burner stove, microwave, sink for dishes, and about a 3/4-size fridge. It was stocked with all the dishes and utensils you'd need to cook a simple meal. Overall, it was comfortable, practical, and a great stay. I'll definitely be coming back.

Our room was on the third floor so no balcony or patio like rooms on the first and second floors (there were sliding doors to get fresh air) with a great view of the ocean and sunrises. They provide beach chair and towels. They have a nice pool with plenty of lounge chairs and tables, but no hot tub. They also have a party room with a kitchen, tables, chairs, couches, bathrooms, games and books. There is an ice machine and a bbq grill area too. Our room had two TVs and free wifi. No "do not disturb" sign, so the maids woke me up almost every morning. They left clean towels and tp/Kleenex but never made the bed or did the dishes. They cleaned the bathroom though. There are good restaurants and shops nearby. Lots of shells on the beach. Plenty of large parking spots. Friendly employees.

We could hear the ocean at night which was so relaxing. It is on a 5 lane road but the rooms sit back far enough that you couldn't hear the traffic at all (at least not in room 5). There is a kitchen with a table and 2 chairs. The cupboards had plates, glasses, silverware, pots/pans, etc. There is a small stove/oven and a hotel size refrigerator. It would have been nice to have a full size refrigerator. We would have been able to cook more meals if we would have had a larger fridge to store the food. There is also a small microwave. The living room had one chair, a small couch and a large tv. The bedroom was good sized. It had a queen size bed, a dresser and a small chair. It would have been nice to have a king size bed as that is what we have at home (that took a few days to get use to). And then there is a full bathroom off of the bedroom. It's a bit small and there is a pedestal sink so not a lot of room for hairbrushes/toiletries, etc. There are some small cubbies above the toilet though. The beach is very close to the rooms, maybe 40 feet away. The owners of this motel are super friendly. All in all, it was a very pleasant week there. We would definitely stay there again.

I personally thought the price wasn't too bad for an oceanfront hotel. I read several reviews before we arrived and after so many mentions of the hotel being in disrepair, I was concerned. However, our room (1506) was overall fine. Could the aesthetics be better? Yes, definitely. For example, when the elevator door opened to the 15th floor, I didn't expect our room door to be directly across from the elevator. And the room door had such a drab--almost government facility--look about it. But again, past that, we enjoyed the room and especially the views! We only stayed 2 nights, and needed them to send up extra soaps. And if you've read other reviews (here or other sites), the rumors are true: you can't open the slider door that's in the bedroom. You can only open the slider off the main room. The location is great and in the vicinity of plenty of shops, restaurants, and things to do. We did a bioluminenscents kayak tour one night. Oh! And check the SpaceX launch schedule during your trip. You could have the luck of watching a space launch right from the comfort of your personal balcony. With such close proximity to the Space Force Base, we had a fantastic view and didn't even have to go anywhere. So, overall great hotel. Staff is nice. Hotel is in decent shape. Great location.

Shannon, your bartender, is exactly that. She is high‑speed, professional, and makes an outstanding coconut rum runner -- one of the best I've had. Her energy and skill set the tone for a great evening. The hostesses were also wonderful. When there was a bit of confusion with our order, they stepped in quickly, kindly, and made sure everything was handled. Their teamwork and willingness to help did not go unnoticed. My only recommendation: with the number of guests you're bringing in, please get more staff on board. You have some incredibly hard‑working people, and I'd hate to see them burned out. Everyone should be helping bus, clear, and support each other -- it makes a huge difference in service flow. Then there is Bri in valet, who stands out like a shining star. She has been helping me all week, getting the vehicle ready for my Hospice Service K9s in training. Her kindness, consistency, and professionalism are exceptional. Great job, Bri -- you made my stay easier every single day. The front desk staff has been sociable, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant. I appreciate that more than I can say -- it's not the same standard up and down the beach at other venues. A few suggestions for improvement: * Elevators: One elevator has been shaking noticeably, and another was stuck/not working. With the inspection due August 1st, I strongly recommend getting someone in to address this. Safety and comfort matter. * Staffing: As mentioned, increasing staff coverage would help maintain the high standard your team is clearly striving for. * A hot tub: This would be a fantastic addition and elevate the guest experience even further. The maintenance and cleaning staff have been all smiles and incredibly kind. That warmth makes a difference -- especially for guests staying multiple days. Overall, I've truly enjoyed my stay. You have some phenomenal employees who deserve recognition, and with just a few tweaks to support your growing numbers, the Crowne Plaza could easily be the standout hotel on the beach.

When making the…read morereservation, I selected "any room", but ended up being assigned a beachfront corner suite with a fabulous wrap around balcony. The housekeepers were constantly on top of things. The front desk staff were helpful and professional. The shuttle driver was helpful and informative. The valet staff never stopped moving and were just the kindest folks. And the manager, brian, gave some great restaurant recommendations. The gym, on the first floor, near the pool, wasn't the biggest, but it had everything I needed and seemed fairly new! Loved it. The restaurant is a little pricier than I'd like, but there's the shop in the corner as well as a Starbucks for other options as well as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and InstaCart. Plenty of nice places to sit and work or wait for folks. Nice and dark out back for the turtles (and the stars!), and the live music was an excellent addition. The sunrise views were unmatched. Beach access and a rinsing station. The only complaint I made was the WiFi was a little slow for working and the power outlet at the desk in my room didn't seem to be working (I reported it on checkout, and they thanked me profusely and sent maintenance up, I didn't report it sooner because there were numerous locations where I could work in this room, so it didn't impact my stay). I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming into town, and thanked our client rep who had recommended it to us. This was like the best week of work travel I've ever had.
