I recently stayed at the Mobile Marriott on a business trip. Being my first time in Mobile, I did not know what to expect of the hotel or the city. With a little hesitation, I booked the Mobile Marriott due to the its location alone (it is right on Airport Boulevard next to the interstate and in the middle of everything). On my arrival, I was met with the usual smile, however the agent actually shook my hand, thanked me for selecting their hotel, and on finding out it was my first time in Mobile, he took the time to suggest some places and dining options for me to visit while I was there. This all sounds great for a small quiet hotel, but the hotel was packed for the GMAC bowl (I even scored some tickets). The room was nice, not modernized but comfortable and clean - the most important thing I look for. I dined in their restuarant and had room service during my stay - both were good. Served quickly and cooked to order. The one thing that really stands out at this hotel is that the staff are genuinely friendly. Every person I encountered took a moment to recognize me. When I stood in the lobby, they approached me to talk. I really was made to feel special, for lack of a better word. I would definitely come back to the Mobile Marriott and have recommended it to my colleagues, two of which it turns out will only stay at this hotel as well. As for Mobile, its a nice city - nicer than I anticipated. While no one looks forward to life on the road, I have no hesitations about returning to this city and hotel.
