Philadelphia Airport Hotels/Parking

[RLP817]

Hi! We will be leaving from the Phila. Airport in March for our Disney Cruise. Since we live about 2 hours away and our flight is early in the morning we are going to head to Phila. the evening before. Any suggestions on the hotels and daily parking at the airport??

There's a Marriott directly attached to the airport so no need to even go outdoors to go to your gate. I've never stayed there myself but mentioned it to a traveling temp/coworker who wrote us back that she loved the convenience.

We've parked at Winner Valet and while I love that for returning, they bring my car right to the airport all warmed up for me, I didn't like how fast our driver drove when taking us from their lot to the terminal at drop off. It also kind of creeps me out that they have my keys and my registration has my home address and they know we're away and when we're returning.
Maybe that's just me cuz lots of people here rave about them.

We like PreFlight Parking. Their shuttle picks you up right at your car, drops you off at the terminal. For return, their shuttle comes every 5 mins so it's never a long wait. They drop you off right at your car. There are coupons in the mail (Valpak if you get those) for $7-something per day.

Compared to the airport's Economy Lot which has a bus shuttle every 20 mins and you get a huge tour of the parking lot before finally getting dropped off within a 1/4 mile walk to your car (jk, lol!) and they charge $11 per day.

If you don't want the Marriott, Expedia is a great search tool. It's easy to use to find hotels around an airport, then I book directly with the hotel.

Have used a few of those.... Im really not that picky. I go for convenience but I have stayed at Microtel 3 years back and it was clean and will be staying there again in March. Have stayed at the Quality INN which was the holiday Inn and I believe changed to the WYNDAM back in September. They were going to pour a lot of money into it. THat one was definitely showing it's age.

Both have good shuttle services and are within 5-10 minute of the airport

Another vote for the Marriott. We stayed there a few years ago when we had a 6am flight out, and it was REALLY nice to be able to just get up, check out and walk a short distance to the terminal without ever stepping outside.

Another vote for the Marriott here. We're staying there for our upcoming trip with a 7am departure.

My favorite part for an early morning winter time departure is that we can wear light clothing and pack our heavy coats in our checked luggage. We'll be ready to check in, drop our carry on with bell services and head right to the parks.

If you do not need to be on the airport the Ramada has some good packages for 1 night and parking for 7 or 14 days. they have a big parking area that is used by lots of non guests so the shuttel runs very often. Here is the we site

you may be able to get better rates through one of the resellers though.

We use Smart Park for offsite parking. at $7.49 a day (with coupon), you can't beat it.

I would avoid the Ramada at all costs. Yuck! I have heard similar experiences from others on here and from acquaintances. We have had good experiences with the Comfort Inn and Holiday Inn though. I also stayed at the 4 Points sheraton and liked that as well.

We prefer to drive down now if we do an early morning (unless snow is predicted). We found that we weren't saving that much sleep anyways doing the Park N Fly...especially when relying on the hotel shuttles. We always use Winner Valet and are very pleased with their service. I did a cruise with some friends and we stayed at the 4 Points and then used Winner from there...that was easy as well!

We stayed at a Sheraton last time with parking for the week and it was fine.
