Home2 Suites suits a family that drives in and parks at the port's lot. Every suite has a kitchen, breakfast is hot and free, there's an indoor pool, and parking is $10 a night — about 0.9 road miles from the Clarion's cruise lot by our routing.
From the hotel to the terminal is the long way round, about 8 road miles. So the clean plan is to drive to the Clarion in the morning, pay the port's $16 a day, and ride its shuttle.
Hilton lists no cruise offer here and no restaurant. The Spin2 Cycle room puts laundry and the gym together, and two dogs or cats can come for $125.
Take the suite and the breakfast here, then move the car to the port's lot on sail morning.

Your night before, from here
From check-in to the gangway, using only what Home2 Suites Ridley Park publishes.
An in-room kitchen in every studio and one-bedroom suite, a bright indoor pool and the Spin2 Cycle laundry-and-fitness room.
The 24-hour shuttle is to PHL; Hilton names no ride to the ship, so book a cab of about 8 miles — or park at the Clarion lot nearby and take its shuttle.
Free hot breakfast, per Hilton.
Hilton puts PHL 5 miles away and Harrah's 2.5, but not the cruise terminal. Our routing gives about 8 road miles to 4 Atlantic Avenue, and about 0.9 to the Clarion's cruise lot. Our no-traffic figure from Home2 Suites Ridley Park to 4 Atlantic Avenue is about 17 minutes — your MyNCL check-in window decides when to leave, not the hotel.
Self-parking is $10 a day plus 6% tax, per Hilton. Park, Stay, & Go isn't on what we read of this hotel's offers, and Hilton says nothing about leaving a car while you sail.
