    Trivia Night
    LaToya L.

    I went to the Merry Widow on Trivia night. It was my first time there and I had a great time. The bartenders were nice and the Cabernet was really good. The bar has nice open space and great sitting areas. I can't wait to go back for another Trivia night

    Their bottles of alcohol are filled with half water half alcohol. It's Mardi Gras so I understand, but I ordered a DOUBLE Tito's soda and cranberry watched the bartender pour the drink at least half way full of "vodka." When I tried the drink I thought it hadn't been mixed enough that's why I couldn't taste the alcohol. But I mixed the drink and squeezed my lime and there was NO taste of alcohol not even a hint. Had my multiple people try it to make sure I wasn't crazy and it tasted like watered down cranberry juice. Wouldn't be surprised to find out if they were mixing their bottles of vodka with water.

    The Merry Widow has friendly staff and a Fun laidback vibe. The Blueberry Collins with vodka was tasty and reasonably priced.

    Favorite downtown venue, bringing in some of the best burlesque from NOLA & great bands. Creative drink menu. Good staff.

I was trying to relax in the infrared steam room and could not enjoy it due to all the noise. I saw others being offered champagne and mimosas and I was never asked. I asked for one at the end and the hostess was kind enough to bring one. The ladies spa room was crowded the entire time I was there so I didn't get to enjoy the hot tub either. BUT despite those small things, the massage is what I was there for and Tera knocked it out of the park. She really has heavenly hands and was phenomenal. The hotel is old and our bathroom had some issues but it overall we have enjoyed our stay.

The check-in and valet staff as well as the Bell staff are always very friendly and attentive. On our last day, the Bell stand went out of their way to assist us up to the room. Again, very friendly and helpful. This is a clean and safe property. It is my preferred hotel when I stay in downtown Mobile. I average around 100 Marriott nights a year around the world, and this is absolutely in my top 10 favorite properties and maybe in the top five. I wish the Trellis room (restaurant) was open for dinner on weekends, that would be my only feedback. Management does a great job ensuring the property is clean and safe, as well as ensuring well trained and courteous staff.

    An authentic old B&B that's kept clean and up-to-date. I selected Fort Conde because all the other…read morehotels in downtown Mobile are priced out of the range of government per diem rates. Well, talk about a great deal. Normally B&Bs are _more_ expensive than traditional hotels. Okay, you don't get a pool here. But you get a rustic room with all the amenities - TV, fridge, kitchenette, chairs, closets, wall-mounted ductless A/C - these are way nicer than your typical hotel. Heck, my room even has a fireplace! (We are specifically told not to light fires. Makes sense.) I love that my room is cooler and drier than Alabama summer. I love that the front desk is responsive, showed me my room, answered my questions up front. There is a ready supply of water in the main building. There is free* breakfast even. * With a mandatory $3 tip, you can eat at the sister restaurant they own. I did not partake since it's just a basic breakfast and my conference offered similar. But it's there if you'd like. A very pleasant experience, good nights' sleep. I don't mind walking a few blocks for lower cost and, overall, my kind of place - quiet, isolated, where I can unwind from a long day. Would absolutely stay here again and again.

    I took at five-night trip to New Orleans, Louisiana, Biloxi, Mississippi, and Mobile, Alabama, and…read moreI stayed at four different places, all very beautiful and unique. Out of those four places, Fort Conde Inn wins for my most comfortable, unique, and lovely stay. Fort Conde Inn is a stunning and historic property in a charming neighborhood called Fort Conde Village. This hotel consists of several old homes from the 19th century, converted into old fashioned yet luxurious rooms and suites. We stayed in The Antunez Royal Suite, and our stay was amazing. The suite had high ceilings, Persian carpets, and gorgeous furniture and drapery. The king-size bed was the most comfortable bed I slept in during my entire six-day trip. I absolutely LOVED deep whirlpool bathtub! While we did not use the fireplaces, I enjoyed having them for ambiance. The linens and towels were luxurious, and I was impressed by the fact that we were given L'Occitane bath products. The living room couch was beautiful and comfortable, as were the chairs. Attention to detail with historic style furniture and artwork captured another time in history. Our stay included vouchers for daily $3.00 breakfasts at the local restaurant, Bistro St. Emanuel. It was a lovely bacon and egg breakfast with potatoes, toast, and choice of coffee or juice. The main house also offered us a serve-yourself drink at their "honor bar," which I really enjoyed. You make your own cocktail -- I made a Jack Daniels and Coke -- and then write down your beverage and leave the slip in a jar. What a lovely touch! Forte Conde Inn is an easy walk to restaurants downtown, and we passed artistic statues and a park along the way. Hospitality was superb. I appreciated the friendliness and efficiency of the inn's staff. I have only two minor complaints that could be easily rectified by ownership: 1. The toilet paper holder is attached to the wall next to the toilet, and it is VERY far back -- I had to do a full-body twist to reach it, which was not comfortable. A standing pedestal that holds the toilet paper would be a much better choice, much easier to reach, and could look very elegant and historical. 2. The bathmat that I was given was very tiny and insufficient. It was approximately 18x24 inches. It was TINY, which was difficult for getting out of the tub and then getting over to the vanity. For having such luxurious, oversized towels, I was surprised at the insufficient and tiny bathmat. I wound up asking the staff for extra towels, so iI could use one as a bigger bathmat. Again, this could be very easily rectified by ownership --a large, oversized, fluffy bathmat seems appropriate for such a stunning boutique inn of this caliber. The Fort Conde Inn is a unique and charming boutique hotel, and I am so happy that I came across it while researching accommodations for my trip to Alabama. Staying at Forte Conde Inn made beautiful memories for me that I'll always keep and cherish.
