The Hampton on Airport Court, thirteenth. Breakfast is free, the airport shuttle runs 24 hours, and Hilton puts "Jacksonville Seaport" 12 miles away.
It's the one Hilton by the airport that doesn't list Park, Stay & Go, so there's nothing published about leaving the car.
Fine for a fly-in night.
Drivers should look at the Home2 or the Tru.
Book it if
- Fly-in cruisers landing late: the shuttle runs 24 hours
- Anyone who wants breakfast included

Look elsewhere if
- You're driving and want the car held.
- You want dinner on site.

Hampton Inn Airport FAQ
Does Hampton Inn Airport have a cruise shuttle?
Not that it publishes. Hilton lists no port shuttle, and Park, Stay & Go isn't among this hotel's offers.
Does Hampton Inn Airport have an airport shuttle?
Yes, from Jacksonville International. Free shuttle, 24 hours a day. The hotel is by the airport.
Can I park at Hampton Inn Airport while I cruise?
The hotel doesn't say. Self-parking is $10 a day with in-and-out. Hilton publishes no cruise-parking terms for this hotel.
How far is Hampton Inn Airport from the JAXPORT cruise terminal?
Hilton lists "Jacksonville Seaport" 12 miles away; it doesn't name the cruise terminal. It sits in our airport, I-95 & I-295 band.
Can I check in early or check out late on cruise days?
Check-in is 3:00 PM and check-out 11:00 AM. The hotel doesn't publish early or late terms, so ask when you book, not on the day.
Will the hotel hold my bags?
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.
Does the port shuttle come back for me after the cruise?
There's no hotel shuttle to the port. JAXPORT's franchised taxi runs from the terminal to the airport on the meter, and the port puts JAX about 12 miles away.
What's the breakfast timing on sail morning?
Free hot breakfast buffet. 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 charges $34 a day for anything that takes up more than one space, in its fenced lot beside the terminal.
