Home2 is the budget kitchen pick. Every suite has a kitchen, breakfast is free, and Hilton says the car can stay for $10 a night while you're away.
That's among the cheapest parking on the list, and it's why the hotel ranks tenth, a tiebreak ahead of the Hilton Marina. What it doesn't do is drive you anywhere — Hilton lists no port shuttle and no airport shuttle.
Budget for two short rides, not one.
Book it if
- Families who want a kitchen and cheap parking
- Longer stays before or after the cruise
- Pet owners
Look elsewhere if
- You want a shuttle to the ship or from FLL.
- You want dinner at the hotel.
