Good for Business travel and cruisers out of Mobile

I have stayed at this hotel for three trips over the past two months. The rooms/beds are very comfortable, housekeeping has done a quality job, and I have had excellent response from the hotel staff. The downsides of this hotel are room service options outside of breakfast are extremely limited, and there are few local eateries available after 5pm within walking distance of the hotel. There are also train tracks with regular traffic within sight of the hotel. I do not always sleep soundly, so the noise of the train has been enough to wake me several times during the night. Very convenient location if you have business close to downtown or are catching a cruise out of the port, though.

I had called the Hotel at least twice and had e-mailed them once requesting a room on a lower floor and a refrigerator for my Wife,s medications. Upon check in, the desk attendant acted like he had never seen or heard of our request and gave us a room on the 17th floor. There was no fridge in the room and we had to request that again. most of the staff appeared very un interested in us or the other guests. Twice during our stay the maid did not service the room for that day. Once they called and wanted to do it at almost 10 PM. The elevators seemed to have issues and you could wait for several minutes for one. (there are 4) The restaurant was expensive and not Family Friendly at all. I would not like to stay there again.
New Renovation

Stay there for lots of good reasons but make sure you get a load of the carpet on your 'deck'. The restaurant needs some work - the menu is rather ambitious for Mobile and the service needs work. There are too many other good places to eat in Mobile.

This used to be an Adams Mark, but I came at the end of a long renovation, and you might as well say it is a brand new hotel. Even though it was not yet a Renaissance (soon to be) it had everything that Marriotts should have. Great service, beautiful rooms, and the food was fantastic. This hotel looks out over the Mobile Bay and just sitting in my room was a vacation. Mobile is a city on the move and has a new energy. Downtown is coming around, but has about a year or two to have that quaint feeling. This hotel is centered with in one hour of other major sight seeing finds, so it was easy to see a great deal of the bay and gulf. Don't miss this new old find in Mobile.

Worst Hotel I've Stayed In Over the Last 2 Years

While front desk staff was very friendly, this hotel was a complete disaster. Many people in our group had problems with their reservations, elevators were out, management was unresponsive, and housekeeping quality was subpar. I travel fairly frequently and this hotel was a disappointment. We had to ride service elevators with dirty laundry.
