The DoubleTree by the airport is the full-service ORF option with a parking offer to chase. Parking is free while you stay, the ORF shuttle is complimentary, The Landing Bar & Bistro is downstairs, and Park, Stay & Go is on its own offers page.
Park, Stay & Go is one night with parking for up to seven, one car a room, no price — and Hilton says only some hotels run it to cruise ports. The home page mentions Park & Fly too, "fee applies", without the fee.
Breakfast is extra, and the terminal is about 6.6 road miles away by our routing.
Ask the desk for the Park, Stay & Go price and whether the shuttle will go to Half Moone — then you'll know if it's a package or just a bed.
Book it if
- Drivers who want to ask about leaving the car

Your night before, from here
From check-in to the gangway, using only what DoubleTree Airport publishes.
The Landing Bar & Bistro, "approachable cuisine with a regional touch", and an indoor pool, with IKEA a quarter-mile away.
Hilton's hotel-info page doesn't list a cruise shuttle. The complimentary shuttle is to ORF; Park, Stay & Go may add "service to nearby cruise ports", but only if the hotel says so — ask.
A full breakfast is "available for a fee"; Hilton sells a separate breakfast-included rate.
Hilton doesn't mention cruises on the hotel's pages; the Chrysler Museum is 7 miles away by its count. Our routing gives about 6.6 road miles to 1 Waterside Drive. Allow more than our 13-minute routing from DoubleTree Airport to the terminal — that figure assumes empty roads.
Guest parking is complimentary, and its own offers page lists Hilton's Park, Stay & Go, one night booked with parking for up to 7 nights and one vehicle a room, without a price. Hilton adds that "Some hotels may also offer service to nearby cruise ports. Check with your hotel for cruise port availability." The home page also notes Park & Fly, "fee applies", with no amount.
