We really enjoyed the unique experience of staying in an historic hotel. Our room was incredible and the grounds were stunning! Upon our arrival, the desk clerk had an unpleasant attitude, but the rest of the staff that we interacted with the rest of our stay were very kind. We would stay again.

Thanks, Jennifer, for the 4/5! I do apologize that the team member who greeted you at check-in missed the mark. If you have read other reviews, you know that is not usually the case! I am glad to hear that the rest of the stay made up for it!

The property was unique and charming. The rooms opening into the open courtyard was really nice. However Expedia and Google both said there was free breakfast. There was no breakfast offered, free or otherwise.

Thanks so much for the great rating, Stephen! I apologize about the miscommunication about breakfast and I will definitely take a look at out profiles on Google and Expedia and make sure they are correct going forward.

My experience here was great. Miss Arnetta at the front desk was extremely helpful and pleasant during my whole stay. The room was clean and spacious, and the courtyard was just as beautiful as the photos suggest. Restaurants and shops are a walking distance away. I would absolutely book here again!

Hi James, I'm not sure why I am just seeing this post! Mardi Gras was about 6 weeks ago now. Being busy for the Carnival season is no excuse for you to have experienced that propery in subpar condition. I do apologize that you did not have an enjoyable time. I know without a doubt that we could redeem ourselves if you give us another chance on your next visit!

This turned out to be a cool place to stay. The location is perfect for accessibility. The hotel is historic and very clean. The courtyard is so cool to hang out and relax. Charlotte on the front desk was helpful and really pleasan. If ypur looking for modern and cookie cutter lodging this is not it , but if you want an experience in a safe clean hotel stay here.

So the property could use a few coats of paint. It is not cookie cutter which was what I wanted. The extra charge for around $40 on top of room rate and tax made it almost $250 a night. Parking was also a different price, $9 I stead of $7. Internet is not able except in the lobby. Other than those things everything was as described.

Response from Stacy on Mar 25, 2024
Thanks for the review and feedback. I do apologize if the parking charges were not clearly communicated to you! We only charge for parking for those heading to the cruise terminal so it shouldn't have impacted your nightly rate really!

This is a historic hotel in downtown Mobile. The staff was very friendly. I could hear a little noise since the doors & windows were historic and not the modern sound resistant. All in all, I enjoyed my stay, and I would consider it again.

Thanks for dropping by to leave us a comment! I appreciate you recognizing the staff. They truly love this property and love our guests! You are correct that the historic nature of the property can make it a little noisier than a new hotel. We think that the experience of being in a 160 year old property makes up for that though! We’d love to have you back with us again soon!

Charlotte - the daytime receptionist- was wonderful. She was helpful and friendly. But the facility was lacking 2 very important amenities that are listed in Expedia as being at the property: a bar (according to the night staff it is only opened for Mardi Gras) and in-room wifi (I had to go to the lobby to connect, but back in my room the connection would fail). Also, it could have just been the location of my room, but I could hear the elevator and the closing of the lobby door ALL NIGHT.
Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024
Response from Stacy on Mar 15, 2024
Thanks so much for the feedback! Yes, the bar is currently only open during special events. We are looking at the possibility of opening on a more regular basis as we get deeper into the summer season. We have also been in contact with our service provider for wifi since we have been experiencing spotty coverage in some of the rooms.

Our Perfect Unexpected Getaway
From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were at home. Mrs. Arnetta was at the desk and she is perfect for her position. She was so friendly! Our room was perfect. We always do the newer updated hotels, but this one was so charming! It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. I loved the courtyard. We needed something different! We were cold even though the heat was on and they brought us a heater! Talk about customer care! We’re planning our next trip to stay there!
