Jacksonville Cruise & Park Hotel

I've got to get serious about finding us a place to stay night before the cruise. I've looked at a few options back awhile ago.

 

This is our group. We need 5 rooms and have 17 people. We will have either 4 or 5 vehicles.

 

Springhill Suites offers shuttle for up to four but no shuttle back, so I guess we'll have to get a cab back which adds up. I'm wondering if we just need to go with cheaper place to stay like Microtel and just park our cars at the port. Any suggestions?

Suggestion - stay at Springhill Suites, leave your cars there, use their shuttle to the port - when you return, only the drivers take a cab back to Springhill Suites, they get your cars and return to the port to pick up everyone else/luggage. If you have the time to do this, it should be less expensive than parking at the port.

another thought - (I waited too long to edit, lol) - park one of your cars at the port - use that to take the drivers back to the hotel for the rest of your vehicles - that might save you some time vs taking a cab back for the vehicles.

That's a very good suggestion especially if we decide to stay at HI Express.

 

Anyone know how far Springhill Suites is from the port?
