How far is the Holiday Inn Express from the Embassy Suites? Currently we are booked at the Hyatt Place for $109. Embassy Suites was a bit more but we are driving down and they charge $17 for parking:eek:. Parking at the Hyatt Place is free.

 

Thinking of the Holiday Inn Express but want to make sure it is walking distance from our bars. Southport Raw Bar, Kellys Landing, Biming Boatyard:) Thanks

Judi-Since 2010, and one year before that when we stayed at ES. They give you the phone # to call after you collect your Baggage, and a Van will come pick you up at the Airport. We watched the Van pass us up a time or two-LOL...,But there was no charge. It would probably be much quicker to call a taxi.

At present, ES does not pick up at the airport for free.

On Saturdays, when Oasis Of The Seas, and several other large ships are scheduled, how crowded do these (managers reception..breakfast) get? Is it hard to get a taxi? Does the atrium get REALLY loud?

We stayed at the ES last Dec on a Saturday. Manager's reception had long lines for drinks but also had 2 bar tenders serving. The breakfast got crowded after 8 AM but we are early risers and had no problems around 7. They atarted setting up at 6 AM. The atrium does get fairly noisy once the big breakfast crowd arrives! I would also advise to leave the hotel before 10 - as after that is is harder to get valets and elevators. We lucked out and took the shuttle - after planning on a cab - because it was early and the driver said he would take us straight to the ship. It was a few dollars more but he was delightful and we enjoyed the short ride with him.

HI is really close, about 2 blocks east of ES.
