Doubletree San Pedro

We booked last year using my state government rate for only $99. This year that is not available, the rate is $269. That is a huge jump. Any other suggestions? We usually park and stay at hotels for our Mexican Riviera cruises, but if it is going to be so high, I think we may just have to drive the morning of the cruise. We are only five hours away. I know parking is costly at the port.

Parking is $15 at San Pedro.

With Priceline we usually get Crowne Plaza.

Close...it's currently $16/day. ;)

'ibfluffy'...I've never used Priceline but some have posted getting good rates for the Doubletree Cabrillo Beach. Have you checked the other frequently recommended Crowne Plaza in SP?

Maybe it's higher because it's a holiday week (Thanksgiving). Just throwing that out there.

Thanksgiving is the Thursday before and we did the same time last year. I would like to try price line, but if we get the price we offer will we have to pay extra for parking?

We got a rate that included parking during our cruise & have read posts from those who paid less through Priceline but did not get free parking.

I think that's the official policy but some have posted being allowed to keep their car at the hotel during their cruise without paying for it. If it were me, I wouldn't count on free parking without a park & stay package and to be willing to accept that I may have to pay $16/day at the port...or to negotiate a price with the hotel. ;)

I stayed at the Double Tree last year with a Park and cruise Package because the Crown wanted over $100 more for the same package. The Crown is good along with the Double Tree but once the Crown starts filling up they get very pricy. This year I am flying in and got my hotel at the Crown doing a Bid. No car so there will not be any issues. I did hear that the Crown is now charging a $5 fee for a ride to the port. I'm not surprised by this but I would bet there is not fee being charged at the Double Tree. Note: I have stayed at both places and had good service however depending on your sailing dates one Hotel will probably be higher than the other. For a park and cruise package call both places first before deciding on where to stay. On a side note I have heard that the Best Western Plus (New) in San Pedro offers a park and cruise package. This place sounds like they are getting very competitive with the other two hotels. Tim

Thank you. I think I will look into the best western.
