Thanks Bill. I guess "Best Hotel" was too much to ask in the title. From what I have read on reviews, the hotels near the Cruise Pier are very nice, but very $$$$. The ones near the airport are all trashy with comments like being propositioned by hookers in the lobby, or a drunk running off with their suitcase while checking in, or people urinating in the hotel parking lot, drug deals in the stairwells, etc. Not much to making a decision, pay for a decent place (around $300.00 per night), or stay near the airport and feel like I'm in the French Quarter in New Orleans.
