Nice hotel, very good location. Spacious, comfortable rooms. Excellent staff. A very good restaurant on site. We would stay there again if we went to Mobile. It’s a bit quirky, though. Built probably in the 1920’s from the look of the outside, the inside has been updated to a contemporary style. The result is a bit of a mishmash. Apparently the designer wanted to show off the city’s French heritage. The first thing is using lavender and gold as the base color choice in the public areas, corridors, rooms and the upper floor corridors. The artwork is not at all to my taste. There are several oversized copies of paintings of Louis XIV in the lobby area. There are two, nearly life size rearing stallions in the lobby near guest reception. The furniture and decorations in the lobby bar are somewhat over the top and really don’t go together in my opinion. To try the LeMoyne for dinner. (Wed. night is burger night and very popular).

I took the Amtrak train (Amtrak Mardi Gras Service) from New Orleans, LA to Mobile, AL. I stayed overnight. This is a great hotel and a great location if you are visiting Mobile by Amtrak. My only complaint is I think the shower curtain in the room I stayed in needed to be longer.

My family and I have stayed at the Admiral Hotel for Mardi Gras for several years, and it has always been great. We originally booked because its a beautiful historic building, its unmistakable charm, and the authentic “old Mobile” feel that made it such a unique and memorable place to stay. It felt “real”, welcoming, and connected to the spirit of the city. Over time, however, our experiences have gradually become more disappointing. While the building and location remain great, the overall guest experience has felt less personal with each visit. At many long-standing hotels, especially during events like Mardi Gras, there is a sense of continuity and loyalty—larger suites are often held for returning guests until they confirm whether they plan to come back. That approach reflects a philosophy of putting the guest relationship first. At the Admiral, however, the process feels more transactional. Suites are simply opened for booking without notice to prior guests, and if you happen to miss the window, you miss it. I fully understand that a hotel’s responsibility is to rent rooms, not to preserve anyone’s traditions. Still, those small gestures of recognition and continuity are often what transform a stay into something more meaningful. It has also felt, at least from our perspective, that the hotel may be shifting its identity—moving away from the classic, timeless character that made it so special and toward something more modern and trend-focused. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, but it no longer feels like the same place we originally fell in love with. What makes this especially difficult is how much we genuinely enjoyed being guests there. We have many wonderful memories within those walls, and we will always appreciate the role the Admiral played in our family’s Mardi Gras traditions. I sincerely wish the hotel continued success. Unfortunately, it no longer feels like the right fit for my family, and we will be creating new traditions elsewhere.

The Admiral was a great place to stay for Mardi Gas! The room was clean and hotel was spotless. Had dinner at Le Moyne's Chop house and it was great!

Wonderful ! The staff did a great job taking care of us. The room was perfect. The location is also perfect. They let us check in right away and also kept our luggage until the room was ready! Lovely bar and living room for waiting!

Our hotel room was broken into and robbed while we slept. Staff “cared” briefly then forgotten. No police report was filed. No videos reviewed. Also the heat was broken. We woke up to 52 degree room with the heat on.

Beautiful historic hotel. Clean, comfortable room. Lobby inviting. Located in a walkable downtown. Worth the trip off the Interstate!

The Admiral is a standout stay in downtown Mobile. The location is ideal, close to everything but still calm and comfortable. From the moment we arrived, check-in was quick, easy, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere strikes that rare balance of polished and relaxed, especially in the Living Room, which is an inviting, peaceful space you actually want to spend time in. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of room to unwind. Cleanliness across the hotel was excellent, and despite being downtown, the noise level was impressively low, making for restful nights. Service throughout the stay was attentive, friendly, and professional without ever feeling forced. Add in spot-on drinks and strong overall value, and the experience felt intentional from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again.
