Book the Home2 side for a kitchen, the Hampton side if you just need a bed. Both list the same poolside bar and the same $25-a-night cruise parking.
That's double what Homewood charges — and it's the main reason this address sits seventh, one spot behind it.
Book it if
- Fly-in cruisers using a Go Port package from any of the three airports
- Families who want a kitchen (Home2 side)
- Travelers with a pet
Look elsewhere if
- You're parking for a long cruise. At $25 a night the total climbs fast.
- You want a hotel shuttle rather than a separate company.

Can I check in early or check out late on cruise days?

The hotel doesn't say. Most hotels will hold bags between check-out and a late shuttle, but that's a call to make, not an assumption.

The hotel publishes only the ride to the port. Go Port runs a shared shuttle back to MCO from 7:00 AM, $29.99 a person, and MCO puts a taxi at about $115 for the car.
What's the breakfast timing on sail morning?
Free hot buffet on both sides. Your terminal check-in window is in your cruise documents, and the port asks you not to arrive before it.
Can I park an oversized vehicle or charge an EV?
EV charging: not on site. Clearance and oversized parking aren't published. The port's garages take oversized vehicles; check the port's parking page for clearance before you bring anything tall.
