Shuttle & hotels near Clearwater/ St Petersburg Florida Airport (PIE) for cruise?

Question

We are flying from CLT (Charlotte, NC) to PIE Airport for a cruise in April. Our flight arrives at PIE around 11PM on 4/14/17. Our cruise departs the following day 4/15/17 at 4PM. So we are just wanting somewhere to crash for a few hours. Nothing fancy by any means. We was wanting others experience and opinions. Is there a shuttle or other transportation to go from the airport to a close cheap hotel and then how to get transported to the cruise terminal? We are renting a car to drive back after the cruise from Enterprise and we know they will pick us up after the cruise to get a rental. Our main concern is before the cruise not after. Any opinions? I will pick the best answer!

(BTW: Florida must have tons of car rentals they want sent to other states LOL. For us to rent a car there and return it the next day in North Carolina is only $13 bucks with Enterprise!!? Vise versa is over $300!!!)

Check out hotels on travelocity, expedia, orbitz or one of the other hotel sites and find one that has a 24 hour shuttle service.  You will have to be out of the hotel by 11 a.m.  Cruise ships normally start loading around noon so you can get on early and eat lunch there.

Look for hotels that might have cruise specials - you'll probably find more in the TPA area, though

Go to cruisecritic.com and look on the forums, under the  port name. There's lots of discussion there of options for places to stay and ways to get to the port.
