The Fairfield is a free-parking, free-breakfast night with one hard limit. Parking costs nothing and breakfast is hot and free — but Marriott says parking is for the dates of your stay only, and there's no shuttle of any kind.
So it works as the night before for a driver who'll move the car to the port's lot in the morning. The Clarion is about 4.2 road miles away by our routing, $16 a day, with the shuttle to the ship included.
Flying in, it's less handy. Marriott puts PHL 0.5 miles away, but without a shuttle that's still a cab. You must be 21, and pets aren't allowed.
Drivers do well here. Plan to drop the car at the port's lot on sail morning.
Book it if
- A plain room with nothing to pay to park
- Breakfast before an early check-in
- Drivers who'll move the car to the port lot
Look elsewhere if
- You need an airport shuttle.
- You're under 21.
- You want to leave the car at the hotel.
