Issue with the room is that the big dinosaur A/C unit next to the bed was very loud. Luckily it was cold out so only had to run it very little to keep at 70. If it were the middle of the summer it would perhaps be different. Towels in the bathroom gotta go. Rough and thin. Staff were all great. Did not use the Resto or bar so no comment.

Excellent Hotel
Don't hesitate to book at the Admiral when staying in Mobile. The king room was comfortable and clean and apparently recently renovated since July of 2024. The hotel is extremely well located in downtown just two short blocks to Dauphin Street where there are abundant options for dining and nightlife. I walked almost everywhere downtown and felt quite safe. People actually smile at you and say hello when walking around!!! Friendly town. The staff at the hotel was friendly and caring. Special shout out to assistant manager Shantay (sp?) who ended up covering for missing housekeeping staff. We had a fun chat while she worked!! Also they put out freshly baked cookies every evening at 9PM (not just on National Cookie Day)

Very nice hotel and friendly staff. Restaurants in property not so good. Ordered food and had to wait to get a fork for 15 min and by then food was cold. Ans it was actually cold in the restaurant and my room also. Overall stay was okay outside of the bar restaurant downstairs.
