Fort Condé Inn is the closest bed to the gangway in our twenty. Our routing gives about 0.2 road miles to the terminal, and the inn is AAA Four Diamond since 2012, in restored homes from the early 19th century with Bistro Saint Emanuel on site.
It closes our twenty because almost everything a cruiser needs lives on someone else's page. Its Park and Cruise offer is on Visit Mobile's coupon page, not the inn's own site — "leave your car at no extra cost while you cruise", with breakfast.
Check-in times, free parking and the rule that children aren't allowed come from Booking.com. The inn's homepage doesn't confirm any of it.
Call the inn, ask for Park and Cruise by name, and get the terms in your confirmation.

Look elsewhere if
