Home2 Suites is a kitchen, a breakfast and a pool, closer to the ship than most airport hotels. Every studio and one-bedroom suite has an in-room kitchen, breakfast is hot and free, and there's an indoor pool — about 5.9 road miles from the terminal by our routing.
Parking is $10 a day. Park, Stay & Go isn't on this hotel's offers page, and there's no airport shuttle, so it suits drivers who'll use the city lot in the morning.
Hilton lists Nauticus and the USS Wisconsin 6 miles away — the terminal sits beside them, so that's a fair guide to the morning drive.
Book it to cook dinner, then drive downtown to Cedar Grove and ride the free shuttle.
Book it if
- Families who want a kitchen
