Okay, so lemme tell you about my Merritt Island hotels hunt. It was a bit of a mission, honestly.
First things first, I needed a place to crash for a weekend getaway. Merritt Island seemed chill, close to the Kennedy Space Center, and had some good beaches nearby. Figured, why not?
I started by firing up my laptop and jumped onto all the usual suspects – *, Expedia, *, the whole shebang. I usually like to check multiple sites, ya know? See if I can snag a better deal.
Next up, I typed in “Merritt Island” and my dates. I set a price range too, ’cause I wasn’t trying to break the bank. Somewhere between budget-friendly and not-gonna-regret-it seemed about right.
The search results popped up – a whole bunch of hotels, motels, and even some vacation rentals. I started scrolling, paying close attention to the star ratings, guest reviews, and those all-important photos. Gotta make sure the place doesn’t look like a dump, right?
- I looked for places with good reviews mentioning cleanliness and location. Being close to the water or the space center was a big plus.
- I also filtered by amenities. Free breakfast is always a winner, and a pool is a bonus, especially if you’re traveling with kids.
Then came the fun part – actually clicking through each hotel and digging deeper. I checked out the room types, bed sizes, and what kind of view they had (if any). Some places had balconies overlooking the water, which looked pretty sweet.
I also paid attention to the fine print – cancellation policies, resort fees (those are the worst!), and any hidden charges. Gotta be a savvy traveler, ya know?
After narrowing it down to a few contenders, I did a quick search on Google Maps to see where each hotel was located. Some were right on the main drag, close to restaurants and shops, while others were a bit more secluded. It really depends on what you’re looking for.
The Final Decision
Finally, I pulled the trigger and booked a room at a hotel that seemed to tick all the boxes. Good reviews, decent price, and a location that was convenient for what I wanted to do. I made sure to double-check my dates and details before hitting that confirm button.
Then I got the confirmation email and felt a wave of relief. The hotel was booked! Now all that was left to do was pack my bags and get ready for some Merritt Island fun.
So yeah, that’s how I found my hotel. Not exactly rocket science, but it takes a little patience and research to find a good one. Hope this helps you on your next trip!
