DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cocoa Beach Oceanfront

The good hotel lots of dinning options right on the beach. They rent chairs and umbrellas for guest. Hotel is well kept the rooms are clean and staff is very nice. I’ve stayed here a couple of times and the only problem was the sliders came out on moldy bread. Besides that it’s a good hotel would return.

I highly suggest bringing your own bottled water if you plan to stay at this hotel. The tap water coming from the sink is barely drinkable. I remember having some and feeling thirstier than before I drank it.
I travel a lot for work and unfortunately it’s common for many hotels to have not great drinking water which is why I always bring my own bottled water or a LifeStraw.
The other annoyance was once I checked in they made me sign an agreement saying that if I checked out early there would be a $ 100 fee. I’ve never seen a hotel do this but based on the terribleness of the hotel, I can see why they have that. I would’ve checked out after the first 24 hours and gone elsewhere.

I really enjoyed my stay here while staying in cocoa beach for the first time. When I made the reservation through
, I asked to be on the higher floors. Was able to stay on the 6^th floor which is key card access only and received free breakfast for the entire stay. I paid a little more to get the new deluxe rooms and glad I did! Super clean and comfortable. The bedding was amazing and I literally laid in bed until it was time to go out. The beach is just outside of the pool. And it’s not super crowded. Glad that I did not include the breakfast package because some days would probably not eat it or wake up to late to get there. Room service was really good. And I enjoyed not having to go downstairs or even out to eat if I didn’t want to. The only thing I can complain about is the $ 3 fee to have someone bring you the food. I just feel like all they do is get on the elevator. As well as they also include the 20% gratuity. Which I didn’t mind. I would have probably ordered room service everyday if it were not for that stupid fee lol. If they slash that price in half. Definitely! But that literally is the ONLY thing. Even tho i had a partial view I was on the Southside of the hotel which gives awesome beach views anyway. Next time I will get oceanfront. Just because that’s why you go to the beach! I would recommend this hotel!

Located in the middle of Coca Beach with easy beach access, beautiful view, it is one of the few properties with a balcony. A great place to relax and enjoy with an outstanding staff and service. Standard Hilton quality so the bed, linen, pillows meet the standards. Refrigerator, microwave, and free WIFI. An attention to details, the glass cups are wrapped in plastic wrap to ensure that they are clean.
Plus:
* Outstanding service and great staff — front desk staff (AM: Missy; PM: Terry, Jerry, Theresa) and being Doubletree, COOKIES!
* Easy beach access via the pool — I preferred the beach where the water was comfortably warm!
* Restaurant with a well-​stocked bar
Minus:
* The gym is not adequate — if you want to continue working out, you will be disappointed. Only one treadmill, elliptical, and bike no free weights (dumbbell), only a cable machine. Recommend the property outsource gym access to a gym down the road
The pluses outweighs the minus — beach access, great staff and service, COOKIES, balcony; if in Cocoa Beach, Doubletree is the place to stay.

Pros: Clean and very nice rooms. Has a refrigerator and microwave. Also a TV and alarm clock, and King sized beds. There was also a great view, and a pool.
Mediums: Lack of outlets means less electronics to charge. The elevator was kinda… creepy.
Cons: The beds were hot and it felt like I was sleeping on a rock. I ended up sleeping in the cot that was right next to the A/​C. The Continental Breakfast is $ 12?!? At other Hilton hotels, they have FREE continental breakfast. When we came down for «dinner», there was absolutely NO hostess. We ended up going to Brano’s Italian Restaurant.
Would I Stay Again? Maybe.

*ZERO STARS!
A tremendous Easter Sunday Brunch DISAPPOINTMENT!
We knew from the moment we arrived we were in big trouble:
We had reservations for the 2:45 (third of three) seatings. When we got there, there was a crowd of people standing in the lobby outside of the banquet hall. It was 2:40. There was still a large number of people inside from the 1:15 seating, all of them waving their hands frantically trying to get people to take their checks.
They had ONE old lady working the podium – part-​time – who was also bussing tables and attempting to waitress. She was a frazzled, hot mess.
Somehow, I managed to make it up to the podium to ask what was going on and the response I got was «2:45 came so quick and none of the tables are ready.» I asked her if she was in charge of seating people or bussing tables and she told me, «Well, I’m doing it all. I don’t want to do any of it, but we’re short-​handed.» I inquired further, and she told me that one person «was supposed to have pneumonia» and another «called out sick at the last minute.» OK, so that accounted for being two people short. They still needed at least another 12 in order to run this show effectively. Anyway, I gave her our name and she said to me, «oh, I was ready to give your table away.» I responded, «why would you do that? She didn’t answer.
She continued to attempt to do all the jobs at once, but failed to complete any of them effectively. At one point she actually told me, «I think we’re going to try to get a group of people together and clear and re-​set all the tables so people can be seated. WOW… what a novel idea!
It failed: they got three people together – including her – to clear and set one table at a time together!
We were the very last people to be seated, even though we were #3 on the list and among the first to arrive to the podium.
As soon as we sat down, we got right back up and made a mad dash for the carving station where the prime rib was, thinking it may vanish and that would be the end of it, as everyone else had already been in the dining room and eating for some time. Luckily, we all got some prime rib, and it was good.
After the prime rib, we tried the food at the breakfast station: the egg soufflé, potatoes and bacon were all COLD. Total waste and disappointment.
The shrimp were OK.
The row of «entrées» was a complete and total disaster: absolutely everything on the table was COLD. The chicken was impossible to cut: DRY, HARD, COLD and LEATHERY! I took one bite, was TOTALLY DISGUSTED and spit it out.
The soup – Broccoli Cheddar – had a thick, nasty skin on top of it. I broke it, stirred the soup, and gave it a try. It was definitely canned soup – didn’t eat it. GROSS!!! And of course, COLD!!!
So, back to the prime rib: It turned out to be the absolute only edible food other than the shrimp. We all kept waiting for them to bring out the next piece of prime rib, and then raced up to get a piece.
The family next to us was not nearly as tolerant. They took a few bites, the father told the waitress, «we’re done. We’re outta here. We’re not paying. Bye!» The four of them got up and left. Then, the waitstaff proceeded to laugh and joke about it/​them and just left their table sit there as they had left it.
They served «Mimosas» in water glasses that were nothing but OJ.
We decided to check out the dessert table. It was basically barren. I found a little fruit tart that was decent. Again, however, I noted two of the waitstaff laughing and joking about the people who were complaining about the poor food and service.
The manager stood in the doorway, picking her chin, her teeth, and scratching various and sundry other parts of herself, glancing inside the dining room every now and again. Once every so often, she would take a walk through; and, she, too, would banter with the other waitstaff about the customers who were dissatisfied.
There was one elderly gentleman there who appeared to be a widow, dining alone. Everyone knew him by name. I heard him tell several different people, «I’ve been coming here for 14 years, and I’ve never been so disappointed.»
AFTER we had finished our dessert, we finally got someone to come to our table. We asked for coffee, and he came back with some a few minutes later, pouring each of us about a half-​cup. We asked him for cream. He said he’d bring some back in just a minute. We sat there and watched the coffee get cold as he disappeared looking for cream. He came back just in time for us to put it in our now iced coffee. We asked him for the check when he brought the cream in hopes of getting the Hell out of this dump as soon as possible.
The third seating was really rather sparse, but they never did finish clearing/​cleaning the tables from the previous seating. It was unpleasant to dine in a room where any unoccupied table was dirty and not bussed.
A TOTAL EMBRASSMENT for Doubletree!
A wasted $ 35 per head on Easter.

I will start with the good. I had a wonderful view of the ocean from my balcony during the stay and the balcony was the reason I chose this hotel over the Hilton down the street. That was a bad decision because rest of the hotel is out dated and certain areas are far below standard. I can honestly say I am a Hilton Gold Member and this is by far the worst Hilton brand hotel I have ever stayed in.
The furniture in my room was old and partially torn on the ottoman and chair. The bathroom fixtures were rusted and the shower leaked out into the doorway outside the bathroom to the carpet as it was partially damp. It appeared very stained and had been like that for sometime. I believe there was some sort of mold in the room because I had running nose the whole time in the room. Outside and after leaving no issues at all.
The loungers around the pool almost half have the fabric torn and can hardly be used. The heated pool was far from heated and ran about the same as air temp 73 degrees.
I had a drink at the bar one night and would never go back. I was there about 9 pm and there was food crumbs all over the bar and spilled drinks that had not been cleaned up in sometime and the bartender even though she was far from busy never once started cleaning any of it.
If I come back to Cocoa Beach I would never stay at this hotel again. I read the reviews before coming and said it can’t be that outdated and bad but believe them this hotel is no even close to being up to Hilton standards.

This is a review for frequent guests of the Hilton hotel chain, and rating against the Hilton brand standard. Like you, I notice the different policies of various franchise management chains that run them. Some of them, like this one, choose to nickel and dime you when they feel they can. No complimentary lobby coffee here. Really? My choices are poor quality in-​room stuff or pay in the restaurant?
I do have to say I appreciate the Hilton chain standardization of their internet policy, where I believe they provide complimentary internet access (slow; ok for email, general web surfing) and charge $ 4.95/day for premium (fast; video streaming). Keeps franchised mgt groups from charging for it entirely. Thanks Hilton for looking out for us here. Room and breakfast quality was no different than Hampton Inn. Clean, average décor, fridge/​microwave in room, etc.
As do many, I choose to pay extra (room rate) for Hilton because I value consistency and the Hilton chain generally delivers at all brand levels. Will just as often stay at Hampton Inn as the higher end brands in the chain. However, after staying at 125 – 150 different Hilton brand hotels in my day, this property is the only one without complimentary lobby coffee.
My advice to you, whether a Hilton Honors diamond member, a family looking to stay on Cocoa Beach for a week, or an overnite before you head out on a cruise ship the next day… Plenty of other choices on the beach if you are looking for a hotel that has free lobby coffee, free quality breakfast, free high speed internet, and a fair price at night. If these matter to you and you are tired of the ‘airline’ treament, skip this hotel. If you want to stay at the Hilton brand, try the Hampton Inn or Hilton down the street. You may move up/​down on amenities and price, but I’ve now been to all 3 and believe you are better off with one of the others.

Free parking. Easy check in. You get your free hot Chocolate cookie. Got a bump up to the sixth floor Hilton Honor floors need a key card to get to this floor.
Room, nice roomy. Blanket so very heavy. It’s Florida. Pillows are like body pillows, large.
Tv clicks on and off. Balcony narrow but we got a partiall ocean view, looking Sourh, gorgeous as well as seeing West I believe it the Banana River.
Breakfast, I don’t believe anyone knew what was going on.. We were told two buffets ones is just a Continental for $ 11.95 and the big Buffett had there usually waffle machine and everything else. For $ 13.95.
My company heard you could order off menu too, so that’s what we did, just a few dollars less.
Asked two different people for water. Finally.
Pool is not heated, I was told it was. Thought there as a jacuzzi but it’s a cold plunge or something .
All and all not bad. I would stay again. The Aldo have the handicap lift. Good for you D T .
Only thing I thought all Doubletree had free buffet breakfast like their free Chocolate cookies. Enjoy.

Stayed one night, was great, friendly. We even came back 3 days later because our cruise ship had internet issues & we were able to print our boarding passes for our flight!

Most of the room was great. Service good. Food was good. The only grip I have, and it’s a big one, is the the couch and chair in my room (432) were filthy. A bug even crawled out of one on Saturday night.

Really poor experience, service was lousy. Drinks at hotel bar was the only positive.
Guaranteed check in was 4, we couldn’t check in until 5, and that’s because we had to settle for another room with a parking lot view in leu of the beach view we paid for. I had one kid that fell asleep and 2 others sitting in the lobby losing their mind for an hour… they didn’t give 2 hoots!
No sorry, no compensation, no free drinks, extra points, composed stay, nothing! Even after Hilton Honors AND Hilton Customer Service each said they contacted the hotel and management would follow up with us.

This is a hotel in a fantastic beach access location. The staff was very friendly — particularly Robert the bartender — he goes above and beyond making guests feel important and appreciated.
We loved the cozy feeling of this hotel.

I just checked in for a one night stay. My boyfriend and I local, kind of, just in from Orlando for the night. We saw a 159 rate on expedia, and our previous spot, the la Quinta, was 229. Thought we would try something new. We walked in the lobby, and was pleased to hear Nikki, our front desk agent, offer us a 139 king no balcony room. She asked for my id and credit card, brought them back, I signed for 139. Keys were given to us with a «have a nice stay.» I luckily asked if we needed a parking pass for our vehicle, which was slid across the counter with no explanation. We walked away and when we tried to get our bearings to decide where to park, we realized… We were given ZERO information. Where should we park? What room are we in (luckily written on key envelope) how do we get there? Where is the elevator? What time is checkout? Is there WiFi? Oh look, there’s a bar… And a restaurant! What time are they open? Oh look, a business center! All these observances, ZERO info from our front desk attendant. We went into the Room, which was nice, especially for a beach hotel, but I was still so disturbed by Nikki. At this time I checked my bank, and saw I had been charged 178 for my 139 room. I returned to Nikki, who rudely told me there would be a charge for incidental charges. I asked how much, and she huffed and told me, and I quote «18% or 50 dollars, whatever is more, you know, standard for most hotels.» um, really? I’ve never seen it don’t like that before, and if that’s the case, you should TELL your guests. And I’m not opposed to it, I just would’ve liked something telling me, maybe a receipt?! Is that such a crazy thought? Also, our non balcony had what would be been a nice partial ocean view, but we were level with a small roof with rusty air vents and someones drug paraphernalia that must’ve called from an upper floor. The hotel is also in a bit of an isolated part of the beach, which could be good for some, but a walk in either direction brought no restaurants or bars. The pier was 2 miles one way.
However. The room was nice. Clean and spacious, bed comfortable. Bartender was incredible at 3 wishes restaurant and made the best rum runner I’ve ever had. I guess I would stay here again… Now that I’ve figured everything out for myself. This Nikki though… Really needs some training in the hospitality business.

This does not seem like a double tree hotel. It’s dated needing a remodel, it’s loud, the linens are poor quality. For $ 275 a night it is not a good value. My neighbors were also having what sounded like a frat party and the walls lack insulation so you can hear everything. Horrible. I will be so glad to check out and would like a full refund. The Mgr at the front desk was kind enough to make corrections to my final invoice based on the issues. At least they made that right. Thank you.

Upon arrival we were very excited to finally have a get away. We made our reservation using
I believe. We were promised a ocean front high floor room. When we arrived we were told that we had a side room on the bottom floor, of course I was upset but new it wasn’t the girls fault and was told this happens quite frequently when using theses bookings. So I regrouped and ask what could be done since out room was not refundable, we paid 285 for the night. It was a very rare get away and we splurged. Teresa at the front desk was very kind and professional and got us a nice ocean front room on at he lower floor which was fine. Beach was a few steps away.
Now why I left unhappy. During breakfast it seemed very commercial. My husband and I usually venture out to mom and pop places but decided to stay and enjoy our view. We were served by rina r We decided to opt for the buffet. She just made the whole experience a unpleasant one. Upon returning with my plate of eggs (gone for about 30 seconds) our check was placed on the table where I would out my plate. I had to hand my husband my plate so I could move the check book to the floor where it stayed. We never saw her again only in passing to look for check. Not once asked if we needed anythig I had to get ketchup from another table. Husband had to ask another waitress for some water and milk. Our bill came to 30 I would normally have left 40, since I am in the food industry and appreciate the hard work being a server is. My husband tried to leave more than 33 that was not happening.
Last week we stayed in the hilton in Palm coast fla had a wonderful stay there so wanted to give the hilton another try. Would not stay here again, not because of dining issue it’s just not what I though it would be. Also beware of the 3 floor ocean views they are god awful. Your looking at a air condionting unit.
Maybe would try the hilton down the road if your a hilton customer seems very nice. Maybe I just didn’t know I was staying in this particular one what ever a double tree hilton is pass it

I spent one night at the Double Tree for business, and it was an average experience at best.
The lobby and business centers were nice and seemed to have gone through recent renovations, however the rooms and hallways seem dilapidated and in desperate need of a makeover. The two elevators to the floors were old and slow. The wall AC unit in the room made a bubbling water sound the entire night, which was distracting and stifled sleep. The bathroom was small and the tile and fixtures dated. The TV was quite big and new, and offered many channels, including three HBO’s.
I ventured to the fitness center, which had limited equipment available but was small but suitable (one elliptical, one treadmill, one bike, and an all-​purpose weight machine).
The location is excellent, right on the beach, and the pool appeared decent although I did not avail myself since I was there on business.
Your only food option on-​site is the Three Wishes Restaurant, but I did not eat there.

I had to travel here on business and found this hotel the highest rated on Unilocal of the Hilton brands at this location. I had not been here in over 20 years and remembered it used to be the old Howard Johnson’s!
They revamped the whole building and upgraded the rooms. Being a Hilton Honor member I wonder why they did not place me on the Honors floor as I saw people get off the elevator I recognized got rooms up here.
When I arrived it was raining (liquid sunshine) and they let me park under the overhang to get my room and drag my suitcase to my room. The downside is all the parking has no covered walkway from the front of the hotel, so after you park either take an umbrella (which you never see in FL) or plan on getting wet!
I had breakfast here and was pleasantly surprised they did an excellent job and I received top notch service. I was so glad there was no Breakfast Buffet. They bring you a carafe of Starbucks coffee so you don’t have to beg for refills. This was great as I was still on west coast time.
My room was very nice and the cleaning staff did a very nice job. The staff at the desk were very attentive and dispatched someone to fix the clock (reprogram) in my room. Unfortunately it was 12 hours off, so I did it myself as I could not oversleep as I had a very important interview. The rooms have a wall air conditioner so expect to have it cycle on an off instead of central air. The temp is also limited to 68 degrees so it may be difficult to chill the room down for sleeping. The cleaning staff also turned it off while I was away. They gave me free Hilton Wi-​Fi as there is no either-​net connections in the room.
I would recommend, but will try to get on the Honors floor next time.

Stayed here pre-​cruise for an evening. I booked online, and selected early check-​in as one of the options. However, upon arrival the room wasn’t ready. To be fair, we arrived around noon when most folks are just checking out. The staff was very friendly, and explained they could hold our luggage while we waited on the room, and take advantage of the beach and pool area, which we did.
The resort has a nice restaurant facility, and the prices and portions are actually, quite reasonable. We decided to eat lunch and dinner here, as it was extremely convenient.
Overall, the rooms seem a little on the small side, but well maintained. I’d say the facility is also very clean. While showing some age in spots, they do a good job managing this property. It’s not a cheap nights stay, your paying for the direct access to the beach (which is a nice beach), but might be overpriced. For one night before a cruise, it’s probably worth it — if you have time to enjoy the beach.
If your taking a cruise, and looking for a good overnight stay before embarkation, I’d recommend giving this on a shot.

The hotel served its purpose just fine.
In advance of a business trip in the Orlando area, I stayed one night at this hotel. I chose it in part due to price, beachfront location, and availability.
The hotel was able to offer me an early check in, which was fantastic. The room had the A/​C going when I got in the room so it was not stuffy at all. Each room had its own thermostat so you can control how cool the room stays. After changing into beach attire, I headed out to the beach. On the way, you pass the pool area which definitely appears to be family friendly. There were plenty of tables, chairs, and lounge chairs around the pool and patio nearby. You make your way down a narrow boardwalk to take you to the beach. Once you reach the beach, there was plenty of space to spread out. The water is warm and refreshing.
The hotel lobby and restaurant area appear to have gone through a renovation or freshening up in the last few years, however the rooms do not appear to have received the same level of attention. The rooms did have free wi-​fi and even on the 6^th floor the signal was strong enough.
I never ate at the restaurant or drank at the bar so I won’t be able to comment on those elements of the hotel. The hotel does offer an expansive parking lot and the front desk does supply a parking permit for your stay.
While the rooms can appear a little tired, I’m willing to overlook that since I was able to get a reasonable price on this room on the beach.
