You mean the Moevenpick? The Crowne Plaza is quite a bit further away.
I'd say flying into AMM is much better. 2 hour drive to Petra. Some people have just chartered a taxi which isn't too much(JOD 50 OW?) You don't need a car at Petra unless you want to have a look at other things between AMM and Petra. Roads are well marked.
