Priceline Hotel: 3* Mobile (Mobile Bay) Admiral Semmes Hotel

[abby30301]

got the admiral semmes hotel when i entered a search for mobile and mobile bay for 6/16/11 (thursday)

started at $40 and went up to $50 (won)

this is a historic hotel in downtown mobile, looks pretty.

the concierge has marked us for 2 beds (double) since we have kids

has a restaurant and heated pool.

parking is $7 in a covered garage.

not thrilled about the parking charge, but will have to live with it i guess.

has a restaurant on sight with meals between $8 - $16 (according to concierge)

i also tried pensacola and surrounding areas for 2.5 stars and 3 stars for $40 to $66. with no luck

Congratulations on your success!

Hope you're pleased with the deal you received and this property works well for your plans... glad to see the hotel was willing to accommodate your request for two beds.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and helping us update the Priceline Hotel List with the new name for this property (it used be the the Radisson Admiral Semmes but apparently Radisson has sold the property)

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Enjoy your stay.

update:

i think priceline should downgrade this hotel. by no means is this a 3* hotel. the pool was not heated, the hot tub would not heat. the artificial turf surrounding the pool was very dated and gross. the rooms were very dated. we did get 2 beds. the beds were sleep number, word to the wise- don't share a sleep number bed. they are kin to water beds! whenever my husband shifted i was almost tossed out of bed. the bathroom was very cramped, the a.c. was very noisy. the old windows allowed the noise from the street (6 stories down) into the room. the 80s peach wallpaper made me cringe. we couldn't sleep and left at 4 in the morning. i'm really very easy going, but this stay was not what i expected. the hotel was a safe stay and the car was safe in the parking garage, but i would not stay there again.
