Third, and the best of the Hilton hotels by Newark Airport on our scoring. Embassy Suites lists Hilton's Park, Stay & Go on its own offers page — one night, parking for up to 7 — with a free made-to-order breakfast and an indoor pool.
The shuttle half is the soft spot. Hilton's terms cover "select airports and cruise ports", then tell you to check with the hotel — a maybe, not a ride to Bayonne.
No price is printed either. Self-parking is $26.73 a day while you stay.
Ask two things when you call: the package rate, and whether the shuttle goes to Cape Liberty.
Book it if
- Drivers sailing from Cape Liberty on a cruise of up to 7 nights
- Families who want a pool and a real dinner on site
- Dog owners, up to 75 lb
Look elsewhere if
- You want the parking price in writing before you book.
- Your cruise runs longer than 7 nights.
- You need a confirmed ride to the ship.
