The mid-range Mobile Hampton Inn & Suites Mobile/Downtown is an excellent all-around choice for both business and leisure travelers who want to stay in the heart of downtown Mobile. The 149 rooms are clean and comfortable, with microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. Some of the spacious suites have balconies with sweeping city views. The free hot breakfast enhances value, and a chain sandwich shop inside the hotel offers room delivery. Amenities include on-site parking, an outdoor pool, and a fitness center. Rates are reasonable for a downtown property, but the nearby, mid-range Holiday Inn Mobile Downtown/Historic District offers comparable rates as well as free parking and a full-service restaurant/lounge.
