Fort Conde Inn

The free daily brunch was served at the Bistro across the brick-paved street, and gaslights along the road gave everything a nostalgic, romantic feel. The historic house sits in a historic part of town and the suite was breathtaking. There’s a lower porch with iron railings and chairs, plus a second-floor veranda with matching railings, chairs, and a small table for eating or playing cards. I can’t list everything I loved. Visit their web page, it says so much more, and everything there is 100% accurate. I’ll be back again and again.

Our flight was canceled, but the staff helped make things less stressful by letting us leave our luggage in the lobby while they got a room ready for another night. They were very friendly and accommodating. It’s a beautiful historic hotel in a great downtown location, easy to explore on foot or on the nearby scooters.

The property is well located, with different room options in several buildings. We planned our stay around a special day and could have been anywhere downtown for the event, but we didn’t get the boutique hotel experience we expected. It felt more like a night at a Holiday Inn, anywhere and anytime. We didn’t get to try the breakfast mentioned at check-in. In the morning, staff told all the guests at once that we’d have to settle for donuts and coffee. Then every room got a wake-up call at 2:43 am. The phones in the empty rooms kept ringing nonstop until 8 am, so we didn’t sleep at all.

I love the ambiance here. The rooms are beautiful and each one I’ve stayed in has had its own look. I’d recommend this place to anyone, you can’t beat it. Update: another great stay. When I’m in the Mobile, Al. area, this is always where I stay.
