“Great place for an overnight stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 27, 2012

We stayed here after visiting the USS Alabama memorial. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. The person working the front desk was friendly and helpful.

“Best Western Overnight across from the Battleship”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 25, 2012

First appearence and check-in were nice. We and another couple had two separate rooms, their's was nice and accomodating, our's was nice enough at first. We were watching tv and it went out, we called the front desk and someone was sent to look at it, he turned it on and off, unplugged it and plugged it back in, told us it wasn't working. So we had no working tv that night. The bar was pleasant and drink prices were reasonable, the food was ok but a little pricy. Employees were friendly, but some were unknowledgable, the morning we woke up there were ants crawling on my grandbaby's head, my daughter's and myself, on all our pillows and bedding, we called the front desk, someone was sent, he sprayed bug spray on the sheets and bed and wall behind the bed and left. Bestwestern refunded us with a $50 gift card for another stay at any Bestwestern.

Hi,

I would like to know when did you stay at the Best western Moffet Road Inn as we cannot find you on the system as a guest. Did you stay at the Best Western Battleship Inn as that is now NOT a Best Western.

Secondly, we do not have a bar on the premises and never have done either.
Thirdly, according to the review after taking a sharp eye to looking through it this review was supposedly to be carried out 12 months ago when you actually stayed at a Best Western.

We love to hear what our guest think and see when they stay at the Best Western Moffet Road Inn


Thank You

General Manager

“Great find and convenient”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 20, 2012 via mobile

This clean and well priced motel is walking distance to Battleship Memorial Park. It has a nice salt water pool, clean rooms, comfortable beds and nice restaurant adjoining. You are 5 minutes from downtown Mobile and it's historical homes! A true find!

“Good location but not worth staying longer than a few days”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed May 11, 2012

Recently spent 42 consecutive days here while working in Mobile.
The hotel USED to be part of the Best Western chain but in no longer, and it shows.
What you get is the standard US motel room, two double beds, bath with shower, toilet and wash basin and a TV with over 50 channels of utter tosh.
The rooms are spacious enough and the beds comfortable, however I had to remind them to change my linen and provide fresh towels on a few occasions.
The AC units are good but a bit noisy if your not used to them.
The rooms are quiet, with no road noise being heard.
The location is great, just off Battleship Parkway, and only a few 100 m away from the I-10 intersection, the view of the USS Alabama most mornings is very good and you never tire of that!

However the rooms and the rest of the motel need a good clean. There are pets everywhere (the owners have three dogs) which have free roam of the place, plus several feral cats that scamp about the place. There are cobwebs in every external location.

There is a swimming pool which some patrons used, but considering the number of animals I saw drinink from it and deficating in it, there was no way I was going in there.

When housekeeping are servicing a room they leave the doors wide open thus the animals, flyies, spiders etc can easily get in.
I had to spray my room each night with fly killer just to be sure I was alone!

I didn't eat at the hotel at all, but some of my work associates did and commented that the food was fair.
The bar prices are a bit high too, and with no shops close buy you need a car to get anything you need.
The resturant is worth a visit as there are some fablious photo's of war time aircraft and ships, the owner being a decorated fighter pilot.
There are a few vending machines and ice machines around but there were very tempremental.

The staff are helpful to a point and friendly but they are mostly family members of the owner and have worked there for years, as a result they are a bit blind to the problems the pets cause.

In all I would not stay here again, I'd stay across the river down town Mobile.
If your passing by an need a room then it will do fine, but not for longer than a few days.

Room Tip: Ask for a room facing the USS Alabama.

“Clean, Comfortable, & Convenient”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 26, 2012

The BEST WESTERN Battleship Inn meets our 3Cs for traveling - Clean, Comfortable, & Convenient. This was our third stay here. Had to book directly with the hotel as the Best Western operator couldn't locate this property in their database. The nearby restaurants are decent and the Battleship Memorial is right across the way.

Room Tip: Be sure to call the hotel directy for reservations (251) 432-2703
