This hotel is really great. Stayed in a corner king room with a balcony. The room was great. The bathroom is unbelievable.
Service was very good.

What a wonderful surprise! I knew that I was using Marriott points to stay, and tried to ignore the negative reviews (see October and before - 2007). This property was truly amazing. Each and every employee was nice, welcoming, and smiling. They were also helpful with local restaurant recommendations and helping us take a photo or two. The lobby was beautiful - all decorated for Christmas with a huge tree. Breakfast was excellent - these people know what they are doing - small amounts of all items available means that nothing sits for a long time, and everything is wonderfully fresh. The bar is cozy - great place for a drink or dinner. The crabcakes have to be 98% fresh crab - no fillers or breading here. Salad is fresh and crisp. Separate shower and tub are great, toiletries quite nice. Very comfortable beds with clean, crisp linens. My only suggestion would be that the hotel invest in some blackout curtains that overlap at the middle of the windows to make sure that the floodlights outside don't disturb sleep. Overall, an excellent hotel. Can't wait to stay there again.

Our family loves to stay at historical places when we travel and this trip was the BEST by far. The Battle House Inn took us back to a time when elegance was something that was understood. The Inn is beautiful and the staff arelike old friends. We stayed in the original part of the hotel and our room was not only comfortable, was hard for us to leave to visit the sights. One thing that stood out for us from our travels and staying at historical places, is the fact that the rooms were sound proof. You did not hear people in the next room or in the hall. Other historical places you will hear people walking by your room and your neighbors, which is understood from the age of the place, but NOT at the Battle House Inn. We were so at home. We plan another trip for just Mommy and Daddy. We encourage everyone to visit and take in the true meaning of elegance and timeless beauty that the Battle House Inn offers.

This is the nicest hotel in Mobile - hands down. The rooms are new (the hotel is very new), nice, clean and pretty big. It is also one of the few places you can escape the stench of smoke in Mobile. The beds are very comfortable and loaded with fluffy, white pillows and a white cloud-like duvet. The lobby is nice too - and has a pretty good bar for a quick drink. I stay here every time I go to Mobile now. They are working on their fitness center. In the interim, they offer free passes to the ymca down the street. It is okay, but suspect it will be much nicer to have a newer fitness center on-site.

A few things to watch out for, though: the rooms in the tower are pretty and some have good views, but unless you are into being woken up every few hours by the train (I am not), bring ear plugs or a noise machine. And maybe some serious eye cream to cover the dark circles. Unfortunately the fans in the bathroom are not loud enough to mask the noise and the rooms are not equipped with white noise machines or small fans. (That would be a worthy investment for the hotel.) Also - give the room service folks lots of time to deliver your order. The first time I tried it, I had to call to cancel after it had not arrived in the time they promised. The next time, the order was not entirely accurate - but I did not have time to call to request a revision.

That said - still the best option in the immediate Mobile area - and I will continue to stay there.
