A great hidden gem in Mobile

We live in New Orleans and Mobile has always been our favorite place to go when we need a break from the craziness of the French Quarter. The Admiral has been our one and only choice of place to stay when we come for a visit and this time it's been fully renovated and even more spectacular than before. If you're looking for a great hotel that won't break the bank then this is the place to go. Plus it's within walking distance of everything you would want to do in downtown Mobile.

Beautiful hotel. I would definitely return on my next trip to Mobile. You did have to pay for parking. However, the room is a good size and plenty of places to walk to.

The only downside was valet parking. When we arrived there were no signs as to where to park and no attendant. We parked where it said valet and walked inside the hotel to have an attendant come out with a luggage carrier. Valet parking was $25/night. We enjoyed the bars that were within walking distance and had a great time.
