Top hotels in Cocoa West
Budget Inn Cocoa
"First room AC wasn’t workin. Looked like the toilet had been used without cleaning. The second room had a roach on the ceiling and Red Bull ants near the bathroom. I felt itchy for days afterwards. It’s a party place. Won’t ever stay here. The price is cheap but, it’s not worth it."
