One of my better stays. Parking was fine, enough spots. Breakfast was very good, they don't run out and they keep filling up the food when it gets low. Newish laundry machines. Large rooms. Computers & printer in the main lobby - free access, free printing. Decent location in a low crime area. Slow elevators. Complimentary coffee (or decaf) in the lobby 24/7.

We like to stay here because it is so close to the University of South Alabama campus. This was our second stay here and each time the staff has been friendly and the room is clean. The breakfast is good and there is plenty of room to park. This is our new go to place when staying in Mobile.
