Mobile Marriott
Mobile|2.45km from Ashland Gallery
Stayed 6/29-6/30. The hotel looks like an 80s building. The staff at the front desk on check in were nice enough, athough it appeared I interrupted one of their naps. No upgrades for elites at this property, despite a very very low occupancy - at least not for this ”titanium for life” member - perhaps you will do better. I was provided with a coupon for ”breakfast” and a $10 food and beverage credit. My room was adequate. Toilet barely flushed; standing water in tub. tiles falling off the wall. The bar of soap looked like the little sliver you have at the very end of a bar of soap, usually about 3 days after you should have replaced it. This property was so stingy with the soap that you only get one of those little slivers to share between the sink and the shower. Room needed a good dehumidifier as the A/C just didn't do it. So, after a long day driving from Houston to Mobile, went to bed early. Got up looking forward to breakfast. This hotel still has the lounge closed, but they have a nice area set aside in the restaurant. The ”free breakfast” consists of previously-frozen pastries, some fruit, and free coffee. That's it. So, glad I saved my $10 coupon. I tried explaining that I wanted to order off the menu. The waitstaff provided a menu. The breakfast menu us incredibly limited, especially for a ”full-service” Marriott. They had one interesting thing on there: an omelette with shrimp and crawfish. Great! I ordered that and a side of bacon. Tried to use my $10 food and beverage coupon, and was told, I can't, It is only for use in the restaurant. Apparently elite members sitting here are not considered part of the restaurant can do not expect to use your $10 F&B credit for breakfast. You simply can't. Not sure why, but had to pay full price. Will dispute on credit card. So, was going to stay another night, but checked out and went to another hotel. This one is very bad, no idea how they have 4 stars. Very very disappointing management, disappointing stay in general, and disappointing room. Keep looking for other properties - this is not a nice one at all.
