The good: pretty clean and safe fantastic location literally minutes from most anything. Valet parking is expensive but we thought worth it as overnight parking downtown can be problematic. If you get high enough some great views. Courtyard with small pool is nice. The bad: non valet parking is dodgy. Mold on the shower ceiling, on the 8 th floor it took 45 seconds for hot water to climb up, nearly non existent housekeeping, even when we asked. Front desk uninspired but Happy to give out supplies when asked . Even o n the 8th floor street noise can be distracting and not much of a police presence downtown but felt very safe during daylight strolls. Very small pool. Sink area always wet due to poor design. Small oddly shaped bathroom. Not great Wi-Fi.Frankly I think the place is poorly supervised for being 'The Admiral' it just isn't but has the potential. read more

I had to change rooms twice. NO UPGRADE offered. 1st room had a bad odor. 2nd room the TV didn't work! So irritating and the desk manager wasn't friendly. I will never stay here again. I've stayed here before during an annual conference but up until this stay, I will never recommend this hotel again. The gym sucked and there no amenities. read more

This is a nice spot but they spent more money on their nice art work than the amenities. Air conditioners not even running my room was too hot and it's the middle of January I shouldn't be hot in my room in January this is absurd. There's no microwave and for a place that charges over $300 a night this is not worth the money. Rooms are big and the art is really nice but how is a microwave too much to ask. read more

I have never been to Mobile or stayed in a hotel so I don't have much to compare this to. We opted to stay here instead of the Renaissance RiverWalk so curious if that is any better. The rooms are updated which is nice but the hotel itself has a stench the second you walk in. The staff are nice enough but don't tell you there is no housekeeping during COVID. So every day you see people grabbing bath towels from the front desk. Odd. The valet is closed. There is a very sketchy parking deck they tell you to park in and it has many signs that your car will get booted. The check in person told us to take a picture of our license plate and provide upon check in. We did this and at check out the front desk woman said it was never noted in our folio. I sure hope we don't see a ticket a week from now! Overall, the bed was surprisingly comfortable and the room being updated was appreciated. Knowing this, we would still not book again based on the weird experiences and the old smell of the hotel. Oh and also, their restaurants are closed which means, you cannot even get a coffee/tea in the morning. read more

I booked my accommodation incorrectly just now and I called to let them know that as soon as possible to cancel the booking however the receptionist said I am unable to cancel and can only change the date. Even though the booking is made in the future. THIS IS NOT OKAY AND LACKS FLEXIBILITY. read more

Gotta give this Historic Hotel a five. We got a good deal on hotels.ie and was a really good place to base ourselves for the few hours we spent in Mobile. I adored the lobby. So many Instagrammable spots ;) Bed was comfy and a really good shower. Recommend valet parking giving the fact it's on a main st. read more

This place is horribly mismanaged. No staff member communicates with one another. Made me switch rooms twice because of the manager (Lexi) errors. The 7th floor (amongst others) permanently reeks of pot smoke tho it masks the prevalent mildew smell. Recently upgraded to look modern but was done as cheaply as possible. Watch out for the $4 cups of coffee. If this hotel is your only option sleep in your car. read more

We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite here on the way to Florida and 2 separate rooms on the way home. I was curious why a prestigiously looking property could possibly have such low rate, but it became apparent very quickly. I told them we would arrive around 6 pm and we promptly did. Our rooms were not cleaned and ready for us to check in until 7:30 PM, at which time we had to sit in the lobby. Not only we're our rooms not adjoining, but the front desk said I should be happy they were on same floor. I booked these rooms one month prior to stay. After finally checking into our room 915 and 901. Our room 915 smelled horribly of cigarette smoke, I called the front desk and she agreed and moved us to 501. Tried to shower and the spout shot off and hit my husband in the leg. Here's our "safety" lock..... I will never stay here again.. Hilton should be embarrassed to have their name on this property. read more

The Admiral in Mobile was a very nice hotel. From the outside it looks a bit dingy but the lobby is beautiful. The staff were great and helpful and the rooms were pretty nice as well, although on the small side. Once you take a closer look at the rooms you notice some little things that could be fixed or painted to have a better appearance. There was a lot of rust in the bathroom and walls could have used a coat of paint. Otherwise the rooms were beautiful as was the lobby of this historic hotel and I would definitely return read more

This property is poorly managed and has been through several management transitions in the past year. Neglecting serious health hazards for the sake of making money. Money is very rarely put back into the property and when it is, it is spent of ridiculous things to give the illusion of the property being "high scale". (I.e. polishing brass doors and marble, rather than fixing more pressing issues. Only to let the brass and marble dull again) Linen is severely stained with the constant false promises of "we will buy new ones". Consistent micromanaging has employees constantly being pulled several different directions. Things such as cleaning carpets or truly getting guest rooms to the standard, management so happily and wholeheartedly fakes, becomes impossible. Blame is, then, directed at employees for not doing their job. With a leaking roof on both the 3rd floor and the 12th. Sheet rock continues to stay wet, wallpaper falls off due to moisture and is just re-glued and the smell of mold fills the hotel. Seriously, look at your options before choosing The Admiral Hotel. read more

The Admiral Hotel - Mold on back of headboard - Hotels Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

The age of the Admiral is a factor. The bathroom layout is poor because the vanity, toilet and bath are all in the same room which is very small. More important is that the rooms are too dark. It's hard to do makeup and hair in the dark. Put some lightbulbs in the rooms. The beds were comfortable though and the rooms were spacious. The restaurant/bar were very good. Good food and very friendly servers. We really enjoyed that. read more

Nice hotel. My only complaints were a mirror outside of the bathroom would be nice and the faucet was not placed close enough into sink so water gets all over counter and floor from sink. Also hubby went downstairs to get a cappuccino and the bartender working said they did not know how to make them and than the server turned to my husband and said we want liquor drinkers not coffee drinkers in here. Very un professional. Front Desk Staff was pleasant and always professional. Gentlemen working the front door taught us that Mobile was the original Mardi Gras I found his pleasant and informative. Parked in parking garage while on cruise. read more

While I wish I could understand the hype of some of the reviews of the Admiral, I'm actually writing this at 6AM after a, quite frankly, mediocre, sleepless stay. From the top: expect to pay an extra $20 to park across the street, adding to an already inflated price tag to stay at this hotel. Not to mention the walk across busy traffic just to get to the front door. The desk attendant was friendly and courteous and the lobby area had a modern updated look. The room: same modern look in the room, itself. Bathroom was on the smaller side, but I understand it's a renovated, older hotel. Where it fell short was a faulty A/C (set to 68, but actual temp as of now is 83), little/no noise insulation from any noise 4 stories below (to include a casual conversation), and a smell that I can only compare to a damp basement. Needless to say, I missed out on the restful evening I had hoped the Admiral hotel could have offered. In conclusion, while it appears that the hotel is definitely attempting to create an attractive place to stay, it's execution in doing so is...lacking. Until the Admiral can fix the most basic of its hospitality fundamentals, you may as well ignore the aesthetics it has to offer, which is something that the Wyndham brand should be ashamed of. For that reason, I will be choosing a different hotel for my next stay in Mobile, AL. read more

Extremely disappointed that they would not refund our money for a cancelled vacation due to covid-19 in late March. If nothing else, they could have offered to transfer our funds to a later date. When we do travel to Mobile in the fall, we won't be staying at The Admiral. read more

It looks nice but, the parking is $10 a day away from the building. You will get rained on. The breakfast sausage was the worst thing I ever had! The air conditioning is the loudest thing ever and the pillows are Poo!!! Made up of socks and shirts or something! read more

The Admiral Hotel - The room. - Hotels Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Nice hotel in the middle of downtown Mobile. Room was clean and smelled pleasant. I actually had an early meeting my last day there, and came back to gather my things and hit the road. I may have closed eyes for a moment, and slept past checkout. The staff was very gracious about my oversight, and didn't even threaten to charge extra. My only criticism is that the doors have a stiff locking mechanism on them, and the closets have to be aggressive to push them closed. As a result, doors start slamming early and keep slamming until late. If you are a light sleeper, consider bringing earplugs. Otherwise, I had a great stay! read more

Very nice hotel, very comfortable and quiet. Understated is the word that springs to mind. Convenient to the nearby main drag with plenty of bars and restaurants. Paid parking at a reasonable rate is available in the adjacent multi-storey car park. Very friendly staff at reception who made every effort to ensure our brief stay was to our satisfaction. Indeed, our experience was greatly enlivened by the presence of the Alabama state college football team who were there the same night for a game the following day. When several of these polite giants addresses you as 'sir' and my other half as 'ma'am', it was hard to think they'd be trying to decapitate a fellow human 24 hours later. Great Hotel. Highly recommended. read more

Where do I begin? Let's start with this hotel charging $25 a night to park you vehicle on a public street. I've been staying here on business off / on for 4 weeks. At the moment I've been over billed almost $700 by charging my CC for a room that was already paid for in a app. I've been calling and stopping at the front desk for 2 weeks now and they have not rectified the issue. I've called the manager multiple times and only have spoken once regarding this issue and yet nothing has been done. At least once a stay mostly twice the room is never cleaned or anything. Total disregard for a good paying customer so after this stay I'm done with this place. I'll make sure to let everyone know what trash the managers are since they can't even call me back. Also your CC will be billed a random amount for incidentals ranging from 50 to $100 per stay depending on who checks you in. Only positive thing about this place is the bartenders r good ppl. read more

What a welcome breath of fresh air for the otherwise dismal Mobile hotel scene. The Admiral is an exquisite selection in the downtown area, offering the best in state in the art technology mixed with artistic and cultural touches to the decor and ambiance. Your visit begins with an inexpensive valet option followed a few feet away by an antique front door that takes the Hulk to open (easily weighs 500 lbs.!!!). The staff at the front desk is nice an eager to help, but unnecessary... I signed in on the new Hilton phone app that allows you to choose your room, check-in, and then access your key entry card on the phone app. Wildly convenient as well as badass. The rooms are very nice... really embracing the luxury boutique motif with comfortable accommodations and a high-end bathroom. The bedding is plush, the TV is big, and WIFI is fast... perfect. There is also a really nice bar located in the lobby with some good mixologists and tasty cocktail options. My favorite is the Admiral Old Fashioned... a typical version of the drink with a "walnutty" flavor... very good! The food... not as good, but ok. I'd recommend grabbing some spirits at the bar, then heading over the Dauphine St. for one of the better restaurants. BOTTOM LINE: The best hotel in Mobile... no doubt. read more

This place is wonderful. Front desk clerks are so friendly. Our room was a good size. Bathroom was large. And everything so clean and fresh. Definitely a place I would stay at again. Love it. It is in a very convenient location. Walking distance to many bars and restaurants. The only downside is that parking is across the street. And it's $20 per car. They have valet. But that also costs $$. Also. The windows in the rooms had so much condensation on it in between the glass making it impossible to look out. That was a major bummer. The guy staying next to us was loud. Constantly in and out his room. Letting his door slam shut. Not to mention. Speaking loudly on his phone in the hallway. So. Yes. It can be a bit noisy. And u will hear it all. Other than that. It's a pretty good spot read more

This is a great hotel! Being part of the Hilton brand doesn't hurt. Priced out cheaper than competition in the area with similar quality standards. The people who work at this location are exceptional which really makes this place shine. There are a lot of good restaurants, bars and cultural venues within a very short walking distance. The dining choices in house are pretty good too. read more

The service from the front desk was amazing. We were upgraded to a suite since the hotel wasn't busy. The hotel is beautiful, and the room was nicely furnished. However, the end table next to one of the chairs was covered in some sort of gunk the entire stay. Also, the pillows are tiny square throw pillows which gave both my husband and I a neck ache. We valeted our car, which is a Mini Cooper and can be difficult to figure out, however every time we retrieved it, the entire profile was changed or the station on the radio was changed to country. For the $20/ night to valet, I'd expect the valet to leave the radio alone. The location of the hotel was great and the bar is nice. I'd stay here again, but I think the valet guys need more training. read more

The facade of the Admiral Hotel is looks quite basic and did not prepare me for the inside. I did not expect to find a beautifully designed interior. It is an inviting mixture of gilded art deco style and nautical touches throughout the whole building. Gold, black, gray, and metallic embellishments and fixtures greet guests at every stop. It is truly a sight to behold. Aside from the aesthetics of the space, the service was outstanding from check-in to check-out. The guest services, customer service associates, and cleaning staff were professional, attentive, and remembered the fine details to make my stay memorable. In addition, the on-duty manager, Matt, went the extra mile and personally checked in with me regarding the stay later in the day. I also enjoyed the onsite services and amenities that included a restaurant and bar. Overall, my room was super clean and the bed was quite comfortable. I could have stayed in bed napping during my entire visit. Each room includes a flat-screen tv, mini-fridge with complimentary bottles of water and cookies for Hilton reward members, free WiFi, Keurig coffee maker, and small but functional desk space. Aside from the great features of the hotels, I totally love the location in the downtown area of Mobile. I literally walked from my hotel to local eateries, bars, and music venues. The car stayed parked during the quick concert road trip. Dauphin Street, Soul Kitchen Music Hall, and much more were an easy walk from the Admiral. Overall, the Admiral is a lovely hotel in a convenient location. I'd definitely stay again! read more

We stayed at the admiral this past weekend and it was so relaxing! Our room was very clean and so spacious. The staff at the front desk was so nice and even more helpful when we decided to extend our stay one more night at the last minute. We ate lunch and dinner a couple of times at the restaurant downstairs (Corner 251) and also enjoyed breakfast every morning, VERY DELICIOUS and again, AMAZING STAFF. We will definitely stay here again, it was very quiet in the area this past weekend which made everything that much more peaceful not to mention the cute little pool area. Having grown up in mobile, I know what this hotel use to look like. Aesthetically it's VERY pleasing. My only opposition is how expensive parking is. read more

Incompetent valet service (your only option to park). Room has a car Febreeze stuck in the vent. Classy. 2 elevators. There's 2 luggage carts (as best I can tell). For the price, worst hotel I've stayed in. read more

I learned my lesson. I booked this location after reading yelp reviews and I regret it. Started off with receiving the wrong room (1004) took the long waited ride in the elevator back downstairs...waited about 20 mi s for them to get the correct suite and told I was being done a favor. The suite (1204) was horrible. The night staff was profiling my husband question why he was there and you could never find the valet attendant at the valet stand. They had no carts for us to use upon check in... the shower had standing water..mold around the corner. The suite location must be right up under the roof units...there was no microwave in the room..there was holes in the closet door and couldn't even open one of the doors. The carpet was dirty and so was the wall. It smelled horrible upon entry into both rooms. I travel a lot and this by far was one of the worst stays I've ever had. read more

Stayed here on our trip to explore the coastline from New Orleans to Mobile. Check in staff were friendly and fast. Stayed in a king room, room was spacious. Unfortunately though we had to call down to front desk as we were getting ready for bed and our mattress was wet. The front office staff were great they changed our room for us, but disappointing as it was late at night and didn't expect the bed to be wet. Location is great to explore downtown. We self parked our car which was nice and easy. read more

A lovely hotel right in downtown Mobile. I've stayed here a couple of times for concerts/shows at The Saenger, Merry Widow, and Soul Kitchen.

My wife and I recently stayed at The Admiral. We stay at The Read House in Chattanooga, TN on a frequent basis. My wife received an email from The Read House touting their new alliance with The Admiral so we decided to try it out. First of all, it it a nightmare getting to the front of the hotel during rush hour. A lot of the streets are one way streets. The signage isn't that good so you if you don't know exactlywhere you are going, you will have to go around the block to get back to where you want to be. The hotel is very old but seems to be kept up. Our room was large and nice. However, our key cards would not work at the end of the day when we would come back to our room after a day of adventure. The hotel bar had three Blue Moon beers, which my wife bought, and they never replenished during our stay. Their website states they have beehives on the roof and goes on to state the hotel will sell the honey produced by the bees. My wife asked at the front desk about the honey, and no one knew what she was talking about. They directed us to the bar/restaurant area. The guy at the bar said he was the only person working so he couldn't go to the back to look, but he said he was pretty sure they didn't have any honey as they use it in their recipes. He didn't know the website said the hotel sold its honey. There was a big hole by the closet in our room where someone had an accident with the closet door either not shutting or not opening. My wife had to work on the Friday and Monday we were there, and the hotel's internet service wasn't just horrible, it was horrific! When we would first get up, we would have to let the hot water run for several minutes before it got hot...but when it got hot, it was definitely HOT. Would we stay there again? Well I don't think so. The hotel is nice, but unless we were assured there would be better internet service, we would stay somewhere else. read more

We came from a very disgusting hotel in Bay Minette, ended up sleeping in the car for a night because I refused to sleep in the hotel we were at, couldn't find a hotel except this one so last minute but we couldn't check in til 3pm so we just drove around and explored Alabama til then. But I'm glad we found this place , it was very clean, smelt fresh, people in the lobby were very nice. Loved that we were able to go out and walk around downtown Mobile as well. read more

This hotter was so accommodating and beautiful that I would DEFINITELY come back. Chris at the concierge desk was very helpful, he gave us all the little hot spots around the area, how to get to the Saenger Theater and was just on it for everything we requested. The room was very big (king handicapped) bed very comfortable (I slept all night and my back didn't hurt which is saying a lot) the bathroom was the biggest bathroom I've ever seen in a hotel. The tile was marble colored- gave it a grand feeling. The toiletries were perfect! The soap is a lavender scent and it was very relaxing. There is no microwave in the room but that was not an issue at all. We had two huge windows that looked over the street and buildings. The hotel decor was very tasteful and beautiful. You walk in and you feel important. The impressive chandelier in the lobby sets the mood along with the huge statement making staircase. They also have a balcony open to any guest and you can go out there and people/car watch, catch beads during Mardi Gras, etc. loved this hotel. read more

Rooms were nice and clean however we had to change rooms at 1130 at night as the AC went out in our room. The young lady at the desk was very accommodating with getting us in a new room quickly. With all the renovations there were several things I would have added to the rooms. There is much wasted space and open areas that could have had a sitting area such as a small couch or even two chairs with a table. The bathrooms need hangers for the towels and not just the towels rack. The light fixture had cobwebs hanging from it. TV screen was so dark it was hard to watch any shows. read more

Another positive Curio hotel. A couple of issues that prevent a 5. - Wifi wasn't working when we arrived. Took some time to resolve. - One lift was out of order - refrigerator wasn't working / plugged in Aside from this everything else was great, checkin was smooth, rooms well designed and staff excellent especially Solange who was on a temp assignment in the bar. read more

Wow let me just tell you this is the nicest hotel staff I have ever encountered!!! Literally every single person had a smile. We got in kind of late and tried to order room service. The cook was just about to go home but insisted he cook for us. He really went above and beyond not to mention the food was great. The price was good compared to other hotels in the area. The room was a little small but nice and clean. Its in the middle of downtown and has things to do all around the area. I was on a road trip so this is a great place to stop right before you hit Florida. They have valet in front for a few bucks more than the garage parking. Worth the few bucks because you can call down and have your car out front when you are checking out. I definitely recommend this hotel! read more

From its appearance, its what you'd want in a hotel experience but beware - the people whom we encountered were rude! When we walked in, we were not greeted or even given eye contact when we were finally acknowledged. The room we booked included a sparkling wine... which we had to ask for TWICE and the second time we were told to go to the bar area to get it ourselves. As we were waiting we overheard another family having to switch rooms because they were given a room key to which people were already in!! This hotel COULD be awesome but the staff and its practices are HORRENDOUS. read more

Let me start by saying I first stayed in this hotel when it was a Hilton property. Much cleaner! This stay, the hall carpets were stained. The room smelled moldy. The bed pillows were more the the size of accent pillows for a sofa. The pool looked nothing like the "stock" photos - no cushions or umbrellas , weeds in flower beds, debris in pool. All this said, the valet staff was courteous, attentive, and prompt! They were great! read more

Located downtown and real easy to find. Parking garage is less than half a block away or you can choose valet for an additional 6 bucks a day.
