Hotel advertises "beach access" but not "beachfront" location. It is kitty-corner from the main beach parking lot and pier. I easily walked to the beach while lugging a chair, beach umbrella, and backpack. Being so close to the pier is good because of the bars and restaurants. In the other direction, accross the street there is a Publix supermarket and several take-out restaurants. There was a microwave and refrigerator in the room and there were plenty of towels by the pool. The pool was slightly heated so that it was refreshing to go into on a hot day, but not chilly, either. Kennedy Space Center was an easy drive. Would definitely stay here again.

The "beachfront" hotels nearby were advertsing about $30 more per night and all I would have gotten is one block closer to the beach and further away from the pier.

Just got back from a week at this Days Inn. Rooms are very clean, room service was very good. There was no elevator to the 2nd floor rooms ( in our building - there are 2 or 3) so we had to carry our suitcases up.
Rooms had basic amenities as well as a fridge and microwave. The AC unit, when on, runs all the time, so even if the AC cycles off the fan ran. Beds and pillows were very comfortable.
The pool was delightful, but there was no hot tub.
Excellent location for beachy people, because all near the beach you have to pay for parking by meter (didn't look at price) or parking lot ($7 a day)
No parking problems at the hotel.
Supermarket, shopping, and plenty to eat are nearby.

We stayed 6 nights end of Jan -beginning of Feb & were very pleased. The hotel was directly accross from the Pier & a just a short walk to the beach. Our room was exactly as advertised. It was roomy & emaculate. Our balcony view was of the Pier & ocean. Maid Service was excellent. All the staff friendly, warm & helpful. The heated outdoor pool was great. It was so inviting even on 55 degree days. The beautifully painted surround wall blocks the wind. AAA discount made nightly stay under $90 a night. Excellent value. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We stayed at Days Inn Cocoa Beach for only one night, but it was great. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. You could see the ocean from your window. The only issue I warn you about is, the noise. Since it is on A1A, the noise is sometimes a little too much, especially with children. Other than that, we liked it a lot.
