Holiday Inn Express West is the RV driver's night. IHG says oversized vehicles, RVs and buses can park, parking is free and breakfast is free — and the hotel puts itself 12 miles from the Mobile Cruise Terminal.
Our routing agrees: about 12.1 road miles, 17 minutes with no traffic. A Park & Cruise package with a round-trip terminal shuttle shows up on Visit Mobile's coupon page, but not on IHG's — so it's a question to ask, not a score.
There's no restaurant and no airport shuttle, but the suites come with sofa beds.
Ask for the Park & Cruise package by name; if they don't recognize it, drive in and use the terminal's deck.
