Mardi Gras at the Admiral
The room was furnished nicely, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom very nice. The air conditioning was in a closet in the room and was very loud when on. It was also not very adjustable. It would only turn down to 67. Getting ready got a ball I could have used it down a little more. Overall I was extremely pleased with our stay!

My room was beautiful! The bed was comfortable and it had everything that I needed in it. My only gripe is that they asked for a $50 incidental fee to cover for possible damage or missing items. I had already paid for my room prior to arriving so I was caught off guard by this.

Amazing Stay! Cool hotel!
Our stay at The Admiral was absolutely amazing! The hotel is still undergoing some renovations but our room was fantastic. The beds were very comfortable and the room was filled with beautiful art. We had an amazing view of downtown Mobile. The common area spaces are also well designed with cool art. The hotel is walking distance to some great restaurants as well. We stayed with our two young kids and it was perfect.
