Moxy is a bar with bedrooms on Harbour Parade. You check in at Bar Moxy, park on site for £13.50 a day, and Marriott calls the cruise terminal a "short walk or taxi ride".
By our routing Mayflower is about 1.5 road miles away and Ocean 1.4. City and Horizon are closer still; Visit Southampton gives 13 minutes' walk to City.
Marriott says "No free breakfast", and you must be 18. Dogs are welcome at £15 (about US$20) a night.
Ask whether the £13.50 covers a car left for the cruise, or plan on the port's own parking.
Book it if
- Two adults who want a bar, not a lounge
- Dog owners
- City and Horizon sailings
Look elsewhere if
- You're under 18.
- You want breakfast included.
- You need EV charging.
