If the night before is part of the vacation, this is the one. Of the hotels that run their own shuttle, it's the closest thing to a resort: a waterfall pool, a restaurant and a tiki bar.
The parking deal quietly suits families best — $12.95 a day plus tax, with the shuttle included for up to four. You'll pay for breakfast, though, and that's what keeps it at fifth.
Book it if
- Families of three or four, since the shuttle rides free on extended parking
- Anyone who wants the evening before to feel like the trip has started
- Travelers with a pet, at a modest fee
Look elsewhere if
- Free breakfast matters to you. It's a paid buffet here.
- You'd rather have a kitchen than a restaurant.
