The Mobile center is about the area of Uss Alabama Battleship Comm and the area of Downtown Mobile.
Overall, the city is a sunny respite for leisure or business travelers with summertime highs reaching around the 90-degree mark. Winter is still an option for visiting as lows generally are in the mid 40-degree range when other cities are below freezing. The best time to visit when the prices are at the lowest is during the low season from December to February. March to May brings the spring break students and crowds, while September to November is reasonably priced and less crowded. October is the height of viewing fall foliage that draws many vacationers.

It's interesting and full of history, lots to do there when it's not raining!
I've always enjoyed the entertainment venues. I loved community theater: Joe Jefferson Players, Mobile Theater Guild and Mystery Dinner Theater. Live music is featured in a number of clubs. The Saenger Theater is fabulous for concerts. There are some really great restaurants. The history and architecture are amazing with a good number of museums, art galleries and sometimes a walking tour or a bicycle tour. Mobile is a great to visit, go to college (3 universities) or live.
Not a bad hotel for a night prior to cruise We had a large school group with us and we drove from Illinois. Our rooms were not ready when we got there however the manager did everything he could to get them ready. They let us camp Out in the conference room until the rooms were done. The day of our cruise I got to the cruise ship and found out I forgot my computer at the hotel. They were so great .. they brought it to the cruise line for me. So very thankful ! Manager at the hotel was wonderful as well Would stay again.
Need to clean room in a timely manner.
We had fried chicken at Danny's Chicken which was 14 miles from the hotel. Best chicken and mac and cheese ever and they gave us a great deal for our huge group of students.
There is something for everyone to do
Great restaurants & lots of history
Great stay for school trip
It could be better
Enjoyed shopping and eating in Mobile.

Traffic was okay, seafood was good.
We ate at a restaurant that was suggested by one of the staff members at the hotel called the Boiling Pot it was wonderful and had great prices for the amount of food that you were given. We will eat there again when we visit the Mobile area.
