Love the renovations. And the room was nicely appointed. We had our cat and I suppose we were placed in a pet room that appeared rather clean. Unfortunately there was a subtle lingering smell of pet waste. That’s really the only reason why I’m giving it 4 stars.

Evacuation vacation
We were evacuated from our home in Florida due to Hurricane Milton so not a pleasure trip. We want to thank the Admiral for the hospitality. The hotel is beautiful, clean and we enjoyed the escape. Housekeeping was especially lovely and professional. We look forward to coming back under better circumstances

What a fun and unexpectedly "hip" hotel. The decor was quirky and lovely, and the staff was very friendly. Several dining options within a few blocks. Don't forget to check out the Carnival Museum down the street.

This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had at hotel. All of the staff (especially the bartender) were friendly and accommodating. The room was excellent. Perfectly situated to all the best spots in town. It’s the only hotel in Mobile I’ll use from now on.

We have stayed at The Admiral numerous times. It is my "go-to" hotel in Mobile. The property is has been recently renovated. It is close to restaurants and entertainment venues. With all that said, our stay this time was not the best. The noise from the A/C and the sounds of running water kept us up all night. The room seemed small for a king and the bathroom area was very small and narrow. The bed was creaky also - maybe there was an issue with the frame. I'm happy to try The Admiral again, but our stay this time was disappointing.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very hard to find when needed, and wasn’t friendly. Maids were the friendliest staff, and they didn’t even say a word. AC was very loud, walls paper thin. Pool is tiny. Restaurant quality is below average for the price. Banking on looking fancy but not actually giving good products. Valet services under staffed, they did their best, but one person for an entire hotel worth of guests is not enough, be prepared to wait a long time.
