The verdict

The Holiday Inn on Greenwich Road is the only hotel we read that says "Park and Cruise" on its own page. IHG advertises "specially designed Park and Cruise packages" here, with two pools, Corner Bar and Grill and the BLU Bar.

The words are there; the terms aren't. IHG's offers and packages pages showed no price, nights or ride, and the hotel doesn't print its parking rate either — so the phone number, +1 757-499-4400, is the real booking page.

By our routing the terminal is about 7.5 road miles west on I-264. Breakfast is a buffet IHG doesn't call free, and you must be 21.

Call before you book and ask what the package includes — nights of parking, and whether there's a ride.

Book it if

  • Drivers who'll call for a park-and-cruise quote
  • A drink at the bar the night before
  • Swimmers, indoors or out

Look elsewhere if

  • You're under 21.
  • You want the package terms online.
  • You want breakfast included.
