Fort Conde Inn - Mobile♡

A Quaint Slice of 19th Century Mobile

10.0

A quiet, central location in a walkable neighborhood. Clean and comfortable room in the main house. The house has been gutted and completely updated with modern electric, heating/cooling and plumbing. Read the room descriptions carefully before booking.! There are several buildings that this hotelier has purchased for guest accommodation, most of the immediate neighborhood, in fact. Also in the main building where we stayed there is only a service elevator the housekeepers use, but guests may use it on request. A cafe located across the street serves most days breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast was included with our room rate; for an upcharge, more or different items are available. Coffee and tea is available anytime in the inn, self serve. Staff are at the desk with regular hours, and a contact number for late night, if you need assistance. The immediate neighborhood is nice with free street parking available near the front door. For those unacustomed to cities, it may be noisy at night with the water traffic, the rail traffic, and the steady drone of the interstate as it snakes past this historic neighborhood.

Terrible experience

2.0

Our daughter booked a two night stay from 15-17 June 26. I called a couple of days before arriving and ordered champagne and chocolate covered strawberry to celebrate our 54th wedding anniversary, which were not in our room when we checked in. I went back to the check in clerk and asked about my order and she asked if I could wait until five to have my order delivered. At 5:15 I went back to the check in clerk and again asked about my order, and her response that she forgot. I cancelled my order. Ft. Conde had an opportunity to make our celebration special, but failed terribly. When we got hope I wrote an email to the owner and he failed to respond, another disappointment. I won’t be going back nor do I recommend anyone booking with them for any special occasions, the staff simply don’t care.

Very charming place to stay

10.0

This place is very easy to find right off the interstate. Check-in was simple and the lady showed me out to the courtyard to my room. I had booked an upper room at the Carriage house, but they gave me a lower room instead, which was fine. It was decorated lovely, was quiet and very comfortable. My room had a fridge, microwave and coffee station. They also gave me a voucher to get breakfast at the Bistro across the street. Plentiful parking is right on the brick street and was convenient to my room location. My only complaint was that they had an air freshener in my room that was so incredibly overpowering when I walked in that I had to unplug it during my stay. I didn't end up using the breakfast voucher because I left pretty early the next day. I felt safe here as a solo traveller and would stay again if in the area.

The Beauty, History, and Luxury of Fort Conde Inn

10.0

I took at five-night trip to New Orleans, Louisiana, Biloxi, Mississippi, and Mobile, Alabama, and I stayed at four different places, all very beautiful and extraordiary. 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 I 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.

AFine Home in the Heart of Mobile

10.0

The location is great, the Condè Inn, main house, was clean, comfortable and quaint. There is indeed a restaurant as well as other nearby homes and cottages which are part of this group in a restored neighborhood, making it a quite remarkable complex. This unique grouping of lodging gives visitors much choice. For me, it also made the reviews I read make more sense once I arrived there. Many don't specify which house or cottage they stayed in! The bed was nice, the linens and room clean, but I would like a slightly warmer blanket available. Our room included access to the balcony, and complementary coffee and teas any time. The bathroom was small and it befitted the historic nature of the house. The plumbing is modern, along with the electric, heat/cooling and wifi. I appreciated that there was a reception on site for the greater part of the day and evening. Also a contact for when it was closed. As for the restaurant, it is across the street and convenient. The food was fresh, the breakfast served every day was simple, as included in your room rate. A more deluxe meal is an option for an extra charge. They also serve lunches and dinner, menu prices. Check ahead for days and times Parking is a breeze. It's free, on the street and couldn't be closer. Be prepared for a certain amount of street noise and marine traffic. Travelers from non urban areas may find this disturbing.
