Perfect location to enjoy downtown Mobile. Great social scene in "the Living Room" where we saw a fantastic piano man grooving the old standards and there is a good Chop House in the building (Le Moyne). The BEST BEDs in a very nice size (2 doubles) room with HBO too! Our second stay and we will return!

Was on a cross-country roadtrip and had never stopped in Mobile before. This was the last hotel night on my trip and I just wanted somewhere comfy, clean, and safe with a restaurant on-site. Let me tell you, I will stay here again for the restaurant alone! WOW! I splurged and sort of made my own surf and turf. Started my dinner with a half-dozen oysters with a dirty martini. I asked for some time between my oysters and main course b/c the restaurant vibes were so sexy I didn't wanna rush. My entree was a medium-rare filet topped with seared foie gras with a tender lobster tail and perfectly prepared asparagus (could the chef please send me the recipe for that amazing sauce that drizzled the asparagus?!) accompanied with a glass of red. (I think I went with a glass of Cab.) But enough about the dinner. The room! Very quiet and beautifully decorated. A little bit of kitsch was welcomed since I'm used to staying the same old, stuffy Marriott decor. A bottle of sparkling wine waiting for me in the fridge was a wonderful touch. I sank into the bed in the best kind of way. I didn't want to set an alarm to catch up on much needed rest however I had an early morning and a lot of driving to do. The room was dark, quiet, and cool. The perfect sleep conditions. As someone covered in tattoos, I was pleasantly surprised to see the front desk folks with funky hair and piercings. It was a vibe and I'll be back!

Hidden Gem

We were truly impressed. Very comfortable and spacious room. Hot shower. The bar area downstairs is very comfortable and decorated nicely. We ate dessert there and it was delicious. Definitely a place that we will go to again.
