Rare gardengalaz Posted July 31, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Greetings! We will be sailing aboard the Solstice, departing December 11 from the Los Angeles Cruiseport. We've sailed many times from Long Beach, but this will be our first time leaving from LA. We'll be driving in from Phoenix and would appreciate any recommendations for a decent hotel for the night before and where to best park our car. Since we'll only be at the hotel to sleep, it doesn't need to be anything special. Any hotels include parking for the week and shuttle us back and forth? Or should we just grab a hotel anywhere along our route in the LA vicinity, drive the rest of the way to the port the morning of departure and park the car at the terminal? Thanks in advance for your guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted July 31, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2022 The port is in San Pedro, there are a few hotels very close to the port. We have stayed at the Crowne Plaza, and are staying there for 12/3 cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanrod Posted August 1, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 1, 2022 We have stayed at the doubletree Hilton at San Pedro about 15 min from port of San Pedro and we had the room facing the bay and watched navigator arrive. Parking at the port is so easy then you walk on off without having to shuttle anywhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj59 Posted August 1, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 1, 2022 If you're parking, you can stay in Long Beach too, which has more hotel options than San Pedro., or maybe try another interesting coastal spot, like Santa Monica or Redondo Beach. I've stayed in all those places and rented a bike to ride coastal paths along the beach. Then just drive to the port the next day. If you find a cheaper parking option in Long Beach, you can Uber to the port--I've even taken a public bus from San Pedro to Long Beach, biked the beach, and took another bus to Long Beach Airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeepCalmBearOn Posted August 1, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Go to the web page for the Crowne Plaza San Pedro/offers. https://www.ihg.com/crowneplaza/hotels/us/en/san-pedro/laxpv/hoteldetail/hotel-offers You see their cruise package. If you don't have too much luggage, it is actually walkable to the cruise port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait. I've never done a west coast cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Solstice is one of our favorite ships. * You'll get free parking with your stay at CP...the shuttle cost $5.50/person, each way. Or if you're able, a 20-minute leisurely walk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
