This hotel has been newly renovated and is very clean. Hotel staff were very friendly. The room was quiet and bed was comfortable. Great convenient location for walking around Downtown Mobile. However, self parking was not that convenient and there was no microwave in the room which I did not like. Also several of the ice machines on different floor did not work as well. All in all it was a good hotel though.

Lil trouble checking in but management fixed it. We had an amazing stay and will probably go back. The drinks in the living room where more to our taste. The ones in the restaurant were to strong to take another sip.

An Iconic Hotel in the Heart of Mobile

Now that the renovations have completed, The Admiral is an iconic gem in the heart of downtown Mobile. My wife and I were there to celebrate our 20th anniversary. The staff made sure that the flowers I had ordered were placed in the room ahead of time which was a nice touch. This is our second time staying there and I anticipate many more.

Very Positive Experience

The hotel was fantastic. The location was spectacular. Everything was perfect except I do prefer a room in which the toilet area is separate from the sink and shower area.
