This one is in Hollywood, south of the airport, and it lands sixth — held back by that location, not by the deal. For $10 a day you leave the car at an off-site, monitored lot, and the shuttle takes you to the port. Breakfast is free, waffles included.
A third-party operator runs the lot and the shuttle. The hotel's own page only mentions the ride to the port; Choice's package says round trip. Confirm the ride back.
Choice and the hotel's site also use different names and phone numbers for the same place, which is worth knowing before you call.
