I had stayed here before and would stay again just for the location and hotel architecture.
Pros:

Location is fantastic with close proximity to restaurants. Room has fantastic view. Staff were helpful.

Cons:

Restaurant was closed for dinner the night I stayed. Also, the ice machine was out of order on my floor and the one below mine. The sky view lounge also closed early before I could enjoy. Guest ice buckets should be kept in the bedroom area, not the bathroom sink area.

Damp and Smelly with a Great View
Pros:

I would never recommend anyone stay here. Let’s start with the positive.

The 17th floor has a unique bar with 360 degree panoramic views of Mobile. The view is stunning but the service was lacking. I had to stand in line at the bar several times to get service and was ignored while staff seemed to be chatting with people they knew. Aside from the slow service, the drinks were great and reasonable priced.

As others have said, the hotel has undergone a slight renovation. Unfortunately, they did not go far enough. Stepping off the elevator into the hallway is like going back in time. Once I entered my room, an immediate smell of mildew hit me. It was soon apparent that it was probably from the dampness of the room. Everything felt wet (pillows, sheets, carpet). The room was remodeled but still felt old. Thermostat on the wall didn’t work - you had to control the AC manually by opening the plastic hatch. The bathroom shower was not working properly. When I turned the shower head on, the water kept flowing out of the faucet and filled up the tub while I was standing in it. The bathroom sink was so shallow, my hands touched the bottom as I washed them.

The lobby has also been remodeled but some of the furniture is already wearing out with staining all over it. The lobby AC was out of service so it was 80+ temps in the lobby. I felt bad for the workers who had to endure it. Note that there is no free breakfast offered here like a Holiday Inn Express.

Overall, don’t stay here unless it’s your last resort. There are plenty of other hotels that have modern rooms that don’t smell like mildew, and offer free breakfast amenities. I did report the dampness issue to the front desk who acted like they had never heard of it. When I mentioned that many of the other reviews here mention it they seemed surprised.

Find another hotel
Pros:

The location was nice

Cons:

Dated property, everything felt a little grimy. Not sure if our floors in the bedroom during the summer were supposed to be heated, but the floors were hot in our room like it had in floor heating….weird.
The breakfast voucher they give is for a sit down restaurant that is basically serving you the same powdered egg crap that you would get in a cheap buffet. On Booking.com they say kids eat free, but that’s not true. If you book your 13 to, however, old kid, they’re gonna have to buy their own breakfast because the kid ticket only goes up to age 12.
