2 nights
We have 2 nights in late January, but don’t know where to stay.
We are there for Orlando Gun Club and Kennedy Space Center. Any suggestions? We are 3 adults.
Max 350usd/night.
Great question. Since you’ll be in Orlando for 2 nights and want to hit both the Orlando Gun Club *and* Kennedy Space Center, you’ll want to choose a location that gives you relatively easy access to both. Here are some well-rated hotel options for your stay (3 adults) with your $350/night budget, plus strategy and tips:
- Courtyard by Marriott Titusville / Kennedy Space Center — Located in Titusville, very convenient for visiting KSC the next day. As per the area lodging guide, it offers a restaurant, pool, and a solid base for exploring the Space Center.
- Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center — Also in Titusville with free breakfast, free WiFi, and modern rooms. Close to KSC per the lodging guide, and likely to be under your $350 cap in January.
- Fairfield by Marriott Titusville Kennedy Space Center — Another good option nearby with free breakfast, good reviews, and easy access to KSC.
- Holiday Inn Express Cape Canaveral — If you want to stay closer to the east coast and enjoy some beach time, this hotel is on Cape Canaveral, about a 15–20 min drive to KSC, with reliable amenities and often good January rates.
- Coco Sands Beachside Cottages — For a more relaxed, homey feel, these cottages offer kitchen facilities which can be useful, and are close to the Space Center region. According to Hotels.com, their prices are well within your budget for a January stay.
Itinerary Strategy:
- Stay in Titusville (or Cape Canaveral) for both nights — this minimizes your commute to Kennedy Space Center and gives you a quieter, more focused base.
- On one of the days, make a drive into Orlando to visit the Orlando Gun Club (or whatever part of Orlando you need to hit), then return to Titusville in the evening. Depending on traffic, it’ll be manageable.
- If you prefer being based in Orlando for more “city feel,” pick a hotel on the east side of Orlando (near I-4 or closer to the Space Coast) to reduce your drive time to KSC the next morning.
Why These Make Sense for You:
- They’re all under or around your $350/night max budget.
- They are close enough to KSC so you can maximize your time there without early long drives.
- The accommodations (Marriott / Hyatt / Holiday Inn) are reliable and should be comfortable for three adults.
Tip: Book now if possible — January is a popular time for visitors, and hotels near KSC can fill up quickly, especially if there’s a launch or event.
