Embassy Suites Central is the late-landing hotel. Its free airport shuttle runs from 4 a.m. to 1 a.m., breakfast is cooked to order and free, there's a complimentary evening reception, and self-parking is $7.
The shuttle goes to the airport, not the port. Our routing puts the terminal about 6.9 road miles north, roughly 15 minutes, so the morning is a cab you book.
It ties on points with the Embassy Suites on PGA Boulevard and wins on its lower parking rate.
Book it if your flight lands late, and order the cab the night before.
Book it if
- A late landing at DJT
- A drink at the evening reception
- A suite for the family
Look elsewhere if
- You want to wake up near the ship.
- You want EV charging.
- You want breakfast in a restaurant, not a buffet.
