MOBILE-Park & Cruise

Has anyone stayed at the Mobile, AL Howard Johnsons where they offer hotel guests the option of leaving their car parked at the hotel while they cruise? Do they shuttle you to the pier?:)

I've never stayed there, but personally I'd look for another hotel. The HO-JO in Mobile is well.......let's just say well-used. :)

 

I'd recommend one of the downtown hotels instead.

Hampton Inn & Suites downtown has a park & ride cruise package that includes a shuttle. It's only a few blocks from the cruise terminal.

We stayed at the Hampton in Mobile and got the park and cruise package. They called us a taxi and it was there waiting for us. The Hampton was great! When we arrived they had upgraded us to a suite for no additional charge.

Check and see if the Renaissance Riverview is offering that rate for your cruise weekend. It's probably one of the nicest hotels in the area and when I priced it, I think it was 129 or 149... something like that. Really good deal and you can see the ship from your hotel room in the morning!

Wish I had known about that Hampton Inn before I prepaid a Holiday Inn for 80 something. The Hampton Inn rate is only 119, if you subtract the 75 you would pay for the deck, you are essentially getting a very nice room for 44 bucks.

As an Mobilian, I would have to ask you not to stay at the Ho-Jo. You will only be back here posting how awful Mobile is.

 

My advice would be to stay at The Hampton Suites downtown and try to get a upper balcony room that will give you a view of the ship when you get up in the morning. You can enjoy your coffee watching the previous cruise passengers leaving. Then use the hotel's shuttle service.

We stayed at the Renaissance in downtown Mobile for the cruise and park package. It was great. The room was lovely and we had parking in a parking garage.

Thanks to all of the great advice here on the board, we are staying in the Renaissance next Saturday and Sunday night. We booked their park and cruise package. Sounds like, and looks like a really nice hotel!

DO NOT stay at the Howard Johnson's!!!! Trust me, listen to all the other previous advice. Not only is the Ho Jo run down, it is not in a very nice area these days. Staying downtown will be much nicer and more convenient.

 

Have fun!

Thanks everyone. After doing my homework I definitely will NOT stay at the HoJo.
