We have stayed at numerous boutique hotels and The Admiral is our favorite. They did a complete renovation and this is a top notch hotel. Food is excellent with a casual setting in the Living Room lounge. Highly recommended if your travels bring you to Mobile.

There are two options for parking, paid self parking across the street or valet at the hotel. Daupin Street just a couple of blocks away with plenty of restaurants / entertainment options. Hotel lobby / restaurant / rooms were recently updated, very nice accommodations. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Got back late from dance competition. Called front desk to get more towels and body wash, and I had to go downstairs to get it. Seemed like they were very short staffed. Wouldn’t answer the phone either.

Grand hotel
Beautiful grand hotel with friendly staff. Disconcerting to see housekeepers in black and white old fashion maid uniforms. In fact it looks demeaning, the other staff members were dressed in suits and modern uniforms

Beautiful property, freshly remodeled in elegant hipster style, very clean and comfortable. Check in staff all mediocre, distracted, grudging. One told me street parking meters started at 6am, which just seems unlikely. Wrong. 2nd desk person tole me 7, also wrong. Starts at 8am, as goes with common sense. Wrong information, conveyed rudely.
