fraz0132 Posted May 30, 2011 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I was wondering about the downtown hotels. We are wanting to stay close to the dock and I was looking at Hampton Inn on Royal St., Holiday Inn on Government St., and Renaissance Riverview Plaza Hotel. Any suggestions on these hotels. We will just stay the night before the cruise. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraz0132 Posted May 30, 2011 Author #2 Share Posted May 30, 2011 or the Battle House Hotel, A renaissance Hotel and Spa. Which is the best place to see the ship and good shuttle service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted May 31, 2011 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Iv heard Renaisance was someone's favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GracieBe Posted June 7, 2011 #4 Share Posted June 7, 2011 We stayed at the Renaissance Riverview twice before cruises and loved it. It included parking for the duration of the cruise and transportation to and from the terminal. Great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futaba951 Posted June 7, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Be sure to request a south facing room so that you can see the ship from your window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorepal Posted June 8, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Renaissance is one of the best and comes recommended by many who have stayed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopanate Posted June 20, 2011 #7 Share Posted June 20, 2011 We've stayed at the Battlehouse Renaissance and really enjoyed it. The shuttle service was excellent in a Lincoln Navigator, but make your shuttle reservation early so you can get to the port early. And check in early enough to enjoy the beautiful hotel!

Tay-we Posted June 21, 2011 #8 Share Posted June 21, 2011 My vote is for Renaissance Riverview Plaza Hotel. We stayed there in August 2009 when we cruised. I have already booked a room for our September cruise. We did not even shop around this time. It cost a little more for their park & cruise package ($149.00 +tax) but we feel it is worth it.

cantwait32 Posted June 21, 2011 #9 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Is parking free at the Hampton Inn downtown? I thought I saw somewhere they charged $9.00 on top of the room charge? And how to you schedule your transportaton to and from the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckbreeze Posted June 22, 2011 #10 Share Posted June 22, 2011 We stayed at the Hampton last year and we will stay this year also. The parking is part of the "cruise package". The Hampton has full hot breakfast - a good deal if you have a family. We actually walked to the ship (about 4 blocks or 1/4 mile) - but we pack light. There is a shuttle ($5 pp each way, I think). It is unlikely that you'll be able to see the ship from most rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll vote for it also. It's a very nice hotel. Get there early enough to swim on their 4th floor pool overlooking the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alabamaprincess Posted August 7, 2011 #12 Share Posted August 7, 2011 We have stayed at the Holiday Inn, Renaissance and Hampton. The Renaissance and Hampton are closer to the cruise terminal than the Holiday Inn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
