PIR Hotel help needed
I need a cheap hotel that offers a shuttle system to the base and back. I am also trying to find a hotel that offers a shuttle system from the airport, if at all possible. (I am traveling alone and a taxi just makes me nervous. But will take one over renting a car.)
I know a lot of the word of advice is to rent a car. However, I am not old enough to rent a car. Nor have I ever driven in a big city. Rather just not bother and save myself the stress and anxiety.
I'm trying to find this information on the hotels' websites, but I can never find if they offer shuttles or not. I was searching for over an hour and figured I should just take my question to those who know, I hope no one minds me posting this.
Thanks in advance for any tips/advice. ^_^

Most of the hotels offer "shuttle" service. It is just a mini van they fill with people coming and going to PIR. It is $5 a person. There are trains to and from also - you might want to see about that instead of a taxi.
The Navy Lodge is about 2 miles away and probably the cheapest - not the nicest.

I was pretty sure they didn't have a shuttle from the airport... or do they have a shuttle from the airport? (Sorry that's nearly as important as the shuttle to the PIR)

There is a shuttle service (taxi) from the airport but it is about 75 bucks one way
