La Quinta is a few doors from the port's lot, with a shuttle to PHL that never sleeps. Breakfast is free, the airport shuttle runs 24/7 every 30 minutes by reservation, and the Clarion's cruise lot is about 0.4 road miles away by our routing.
Wyndham doesn't print a parking rate, check-in times or the pet fee, which is what holds it below the Travelodge on the tie-break.
For a fly-in cruiser it's handy. Land late, ride the shuttle in, then take a cab of about 6.9 road miles to the ship in the morning.
Reserve the shuttle when you book the room, and ask the parking rate in the same call.
