Live! closes the twenty for the night out, not the morning. It's a casino hotel by the stadiums with The Prime Rib, Sports & Social and Luk Fu, and hotel guests park free — about 7 road miles from the terminal by our routing.
It ties with the Holiday Inn on Penrose Avenue and the Navy Yard Courtyard and gets the twentieth spot because its parking is free, against $15 and $30. Nothing else separates them on our scoring.
There's no shuttle, no pool, no breakfast stated and no pets. The free parking is for your stay; nothing says the car can stay for the cruise.
Come for a steak and a game, and book the morning cab before the night gets long.
Book it if
- A steak dinner the night before
- A game across the street
- Drivers who want free parking for the night
Look elsewhere if
- You want a pool.
- You want an airport shuttle.
- You want breakfast included.
Your night before, from here
From check-in to the gangway, using only what Live! Hotel publishes.
The Prime Rib steakhouse, Sports & Social, Luk Fu by Jet Tila and the Center Bar in the casino; there's no pool.
The hotel's pages don't mention any shuttle, so it's a cab or rideshare of about 7 miles to the ship.
The pages we read don't say breakfast is included.
Live! mentions neither the cruise terminal nor the airport; our routing gives about 7 road miles from 900 Packer Avenue to 4 Atlantic Avenue and about 7.1 to PHL's Terminal B. Allow more than our 16-minute routing from Live! Hotel to the terminal — that figure assumes empty roads, not I-95 at nine.
Self-parking is free for hotel guests, in the garage or the 10th Street Lot, with event-day rates for everyone else. Nothing says the car can stay while you cruise.
