A Courtyard two miles from the airport, sixteenth. The airport shuttle is the best-published on this list: every half hour, 4:30 AM to midnight, free.
Parking is $10 a day, and Marriott says long-term parking is available.
It doesn't say what long-term costs, and its Park Here, Fly There offer wouldn't load for us. No port shuttle, no free breakfast, no pets.
Call for the long-term rate. If it's near $10 a day, this is a quiet bargain.
