Philly Park & Fly

[tjmw2727]

My younger DD and I are flying to FL to meet my older DD and DH who are driving. Younger dd has committments so we are flying early morning Christmas Eve, nnot ideal I know but I am hoping that by taking the first flight out we will be ok.

I am planning to drive to the airport the night before to do a park and fly so I am looking for recommendations. I have used the Marriot before but you have to use airport parking (IIRC) so that may not help if the airport parking is full.

I am looking for recommendations as close to the airport as possible and definately a "nicer" hotel with indoor corridors as its just me and dd.

I know this was discussed but I can't find the thread, sorry to be repetative.

Thanks,
TJ

I have used the both the Sheraton Four Points and the Sheraton Suites. They are both about 5 minutes from the airport. They do share an airport shuttle. Both have inside hallways. Four Points is a better deal, as it is smaller. I didn't like the Suites, because of the atrium. The noise from the bar/restaurant on the first floor carried all the way to the sixth floor. Not an ideal situation when you have a 7 am flight.
I have gotten good deals thru starwoodhotels.com for the parksleepfly packages.
You can also go to parksleepfly.com for other hotels near the airport.

Most recently, I have started using an offsite parking lot. I book Winner airport parking thru airportparkingreservations.com. I have used them 3 times so far and it has been great.
