San Diego park and cruise hotels

A park and cruise package puts a hotel night and parking for the days you're away into one booking. You drive in the day before, sleep near the port and leave the car at the hotel. San Diego's cruise terminals have no parking of their own, so the alternative is a lot across the street or a shuttle lot further out, priced by the day. The parking guide has those.

The table lists the three hotels whose own websites, read on October 28, 2026, sell parking for a cruise, closest to the terminals first. The two near the airport price their packages as a room rate, and the Best Western shows no price, so ask what the total comes to. Check that the parking covers every night you'll be away: a 7-night cruise plus the night before is 8 nights.

Which San Diego hotels sell park and cruise?

Best Western Plus Bayside Inn, 555 West Ash Street, downtown. Its Park & Cruise package is one night with 4 or 7 nights of covered parking. The hotel says it can accommodate longer stays, with additional parking at "special reduced pricing". It names no shuttle, but B Street Pier is a 12-minute walk on our measurement, or 4 minutes by car, and the hotel describes itself as 5 blocks from Broadway Pier and the cruise terminal. Outside the package, covered parking is $30 a night.

Holiday Inn Express San Diego Airport-Old Town, 1955 San Diego Avenue. Its Park Stay & Go packages include parking for one car for up to 4, 8 or 15 days after at least one night, and a free shuttle "to and from the San Diego Airport and cruise terminal". Extra days are $20 a night past the 4-day or 8-day package and $15 past the 15-day one. For more than 8 days on the 4-day package, the hotel asks you to call it. B Street Pier is 9 minutes away by car. Self-parking outside the packages is $25 a day.

DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego Bayside, 4875 North Harbor Drive, Point Loma. Bartell Hotels, the company that runs it, sells a Park, Stay & Go package with a night's stay, parking for one car for up to 7 nights, and a complimentary shuttle to and from the airport or the cruise terminal. Bartell says the shuttle is subject to the hotel's schedule and availability, and that blackout dates may apply. Hilton's own pages for the hotel don't mention cruises, so confirm the cruise shuttle when you book. B Street Pier is 11 minutes away by car. Daily parking is $25 on Hilton's site and $21 on Bartell's.

Which of them include a shuttle to the ship?

The Holiday Inn Express and the DoubleTree, both near the airport. Neither publishes pickup times, so ask the hotel when you book the package. The Best Western names no shuttle. From there the ship is a 12-minute walk or a short taxi ride.

Is a park and cruise package cheaper than a parking lot?

It depends on the room rate on your dates, so do the sum. Ask the hotel for the package total, take off what the same room costs without parking, and compare what's left with a lot's daily rate times the nights you'll be away. The Holiday Inn Express's own rate for extra days, $20 a night, is one benchmark. The parking guide has the rates at the lots across the street from the terminals and at the shuttle lots.

Do other San Diego hotels sell park and cruise?

Not that we could confirm. Two more airport hotels, the Hilton San Diego Airport/Harbor Island and the Homewood Suites San Diego Airport-Liberty Station, show Hilton's brand-wide Park, Stay & Go: one night with parking for up to 7 nights and a shuttle to select airports. Hilton adds, "Some hotels may also offer service to nearby cruise ports." Neither hotel says on its own pages that its shuttle goes to the port, so ask before you book. The San Diego airport hotels guide compares them with the other airport hotels.

Travel blogs and parking sites describe cruise packages at other hotels too, including the Wyndham San Diego Bayside and the Comfort Inn San Diego Airport at the Harbor. We couldn't find them on the hotels' own pages, so they aren't listed. For every hotel we checked, with or without an offer, see hotels near the San Diego cruise port.
