The verdict

The DoubleTree is close to the ship by Philadelphia standards — about 3.8 road miles by our routing, among the shortest drives of the twenty. It has an indoor pool, Players Sports Bar and the Landing Restaurant, and Hilton's Park, Stay, & Go is on its offers page.

It ties on points with SpringHill Suites and lands behind it for one reason — breakfast here isn't free on a plain rate. The buffet's price isn't printed, and Hilton sells a separate "Breakfast Included" package.

Parking is $32 a day with no valet, which makes Park, Stay, & Go worth a call. The hotel doesn't print the terms or say whether the cruise terminal is covered.

Book the breakfast package if you want it, and ask about Park, Stay, & Go before you drive in.

Book it if

  • The shortest drive to the ship of our twenty, by our routing
  • A drink at the bar the night before
  • EV drivers — four hook-ups on site

Look elsewhere if

  • You want breakfast in the rate.
  • You want parking under $30.
  • Your dog is over 45 lb.
Sail Morning

From check-in to the gangway, using only what DoubleTree Airport publishes.

Evening
Check in and settle

Players Sports Bar for cocktails and craft beer, the Landing Restaurant, Cafe Express for coffee, and an indoor pool.

Before bed
Line up your ride

There's a free PHL shuttle, hours not printed, and nothing to the ship. From Island Avenue it's a cab or rideshare of about 3.8 miles.

Sail morning
Breakfast, your call

The Landing Restaurant serves a breakfast buffet at a price Hilton doesn't print, and a "Breakfast Included" package is sold separately — so it isn't free on a plain rate.

Heading out
To the terminal

Hilton puts PHL 1 mile away and Citizens Bank Park 4, but says nothing about the cruise terminal. Our routing makes 4 Atlantic Avenue about 3.8 road miles off — among the shortest drives of the twenty. Allow more than our 10-minute routing from DoubleTree Airport to the terminal — that figure assumes empty roads, not I-95 at nine.

While you sail
Your car

Self-parking is $32 a day and there's no valet. Hilton's offers page lists Park, Stay, & Go — "parking plus shuttle service to and from select airports and cruise ports" — without this hotel's terms or a price.
