Airport Hotel

Question

Hi All. I am looking for advice on a hotel. My family (husband and 9 year old daughter) will be arriving at MCO on Sunday 5 October (flight arrives at 9pm). We will be going to Kennedy Space centre on Monday and then onto DIsney. Any advice on a hotel near the airport that we can stay at? I suspect my daughter will be tired and grumpy and just want to sleep so I donot want to travel far. I also donot want to pay an arm and a leg for the overnight accomodation. We want to leave for KSC the next morning. Thanks so much.

Answer

For your one-night stay near Orlando International Airport (MCO) with minimal travel after your flight, there are several budget-friendly hotels that are close to the airport and provide easy access for your trip to Kennedy Space Center the next morning. Here are a few options that should work well for your family:

Hyatt Place Orlando Airport - This is a very popular choice for families. It offers a free airport shuttle, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable, which is great if your daughter needs to rest. It's also reasonably priced and just a short drive from the airport to the Kennedy Space Center in the morning.
Ramada by Wyndham Suites Orlando Airport - Another affordable option close to the airport with free airport shuttle service. They offer suites with separate living areas, which could be nice for your family to spread out a bit before bed.
Holiday Inn Orlando International Airport - A budget-friendly option with great amenities. It’s located just a few minutes from MCO and offers free shuttles to the airport. It's a great choice if you're looking for comfort without breaking the bank.
Comfort Suites Orlando Airport - Known for its clean rooms and reasonable rates, this hotel also offers a free airport shuttle. It's a great option if you want to keep your stay simple and relaxed.
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Orlando Airport North - Another budget-friendly option with a free shuttle to the airport. It’s close to MCO, and the rooms are clean and comfortable, with breakfast included. It’s a great choice for a short overnight stay.

These hotels all offer convenient amenities like free shuttles to and from the airport, which will save you time and hassle after your late flight. They are also well-rated for families and close enough to Kennedy Space Center to make for an easy drive the next morning. Since you’ll be tired after your flight, it’s a good idea to book a hotel with easy access to the airport to minimize the amount of time spent traveling.

If your daughter is likely to be tired and cranky, these hotels should be perfect since they’ll allow you to settle in quickly, and you’ll have a comfortable, short drive to the Kennedy Space Center the next morning.
