San Diego/Zaandam

[Ginnyjen]

Going on the Mexican cruise in Oct. and decided to drive down from Sacramento area and make a roadtrip/cruise vacation. I'm looking for a hotel or motel to stay in that offers free parking for the duration of the cruise. We've never done this before so I don't know if such a thing is offered. I'm tired of the airport hassle and thought this would be a fun alternative. Any info is gratefully appreciated.

There are a few San Diego hotel recommendations in this fairly recent thread:

I have stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Downtown

 

They have a package that offers One night stay, Breakfast, Transportation to & From the Pier. The First 7 days of parking is included with the price. Two years ago we were on a two week cruise and it was $5.00 for each additional night.

 

Also Check out Best western Bayside Inn. I haven't stayed there but would consider it next time we do the road trip.

You might also consider parking at a long-term lot near the port, which is what we are going to do.
