Holiday Inn Express does one thing the other Metrocentre hotels don't — it tells you where the port is. IHG lists the Port of Palm Beach "2 miles away", the only brand page we read with a figure. Parking is free, RVs and trailers included, and breakfast is free from 6:30.
Treat the 2 as a straight line, not the drive. Our routing makes it about 4.2 road miles, around 10 minutes.
There's no restaurant, no shuttle and no pets. You can check in at 18, which is unusual on this list.
Book it if you're towing or driving something big, and ask whether the free parking stretches to the days you're away.
Book it if
- Drivers with an RV or a trailer
- A free breakfast before the drive
- Free parking the night before
Look elsewhere if
- You're bringing a pet.
- You want dinner on site.
- You need a shuttle.
