Pony Player Posted October 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2014 We're going to be driving down from Boston to Baltimore and are looking for a "Park and Cruise" package, hopefully one near the Inner Harbour so we can have a little fun the night before. So far I've found several "Stay and Cruise" packages (Room & transfer to/from the port), but we need to park our car as well. All I've found is one at a SleepInn ($150 + $15/night --where's the value there? The cruiseport parking is $15/night), and a Holiday Inn Express ($195/night, parking for more than 8 days, $7/day). Does anyone have any other suggestions/recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt safe leaving vechicle for two weeks Stayed there in Feb. and will be staying there again. Room, breakfast, parking and shuttle were cheaper than just parking at the port. In the evening, the shuttle driver will take you to a mall and he took me to a pharmacy. There's also a decent restaurant across the parking lot.

crookedhalo Posted October 6, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Look at the Marriott Springhill Suites in Linthicum. It's about five minutes from the airport and about 10 minutes from the cruise terminal. Easy to get to, clean rooms (indoor pool and hot tub too!) and it includes up to 7 days parking. They also use private taxis to shuttle to the terminal so no need to wait for a bus to fill up ;). We've used it twice and would use it again in a heartbeat:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzinlady1947 Posted October 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Try -stay123 dot com- or -trinityreservation dot com-. Both have some good deals with free parking and shuttle. Gwen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSCruiser Posted October 7, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Usually have good luck with Stay123.com. We have a lot of experience with Best Western Plus BWI (formerly Sleep Inn), and staying there has always worked well for us. Inner Harbor is a bit of a drive from there (its in the Linthicum area) but it is near one of Baltimore's top seafood/crab cake restaurants - G&M on Nursery Road. Might make an interesting comparison to your Boston restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisecrazy82 Posted October 7, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) We stayed at the Brookshire which was in amazing location walking distance from the Inner Harbor. It also included garage parking while we were on our cruise and transportation to/from the port. Stayed here for 2 nights and would definitely return.

MalleyCat Posted October 7, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Check out trinity reservations . com. We booked the Sleep Inn/Best Western for less than $100 which includes parking and transportation to and from the port.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Did you call the hotel directly or go thru the website? I have some time, since we do not sail until 11/29/15. But, I am trying to get ducks lined up so it won't take much time later. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any questions you can also email them and you'll get a very quick personal response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heatherbean Posted October 10, 2014 #17 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I also suggest the BW in Elkridge, with booking via trinity reservations. We've stayed their 3 times. There is a HUGE shopping complex with a casino about 10-15 minutes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimsby Posted November 8, 2014 #21 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Usually have good luck with Stay123.com. We have a lot of experience with Best Western Plus BWI (formerly Sleep Inn), and staying there has always worked well for us................. There is a whole section on these boards dedicated to "Stay123", and credit cards that, coincidentally, were compromised after booking on this web site. I personally had fraudulent charges on my credit card from London England, (we live in Canada), after booking, and then cancelling a reservation with Stay123.com in early 2014. Having said that, many people have had good luck with this company. Just a word of caution advising anyone booking with "Stay123" to monitor their credit card statements very closely. Some have drawn the conclusion that "Stay123" needs to beef up their internet security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
