Malaga Inn, Mobile

OUR STAY AT THIS CHARMING BED AND BREAKFAST LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN MOBILE WAS WONDERFUL. THE HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND THE PERIOD FURNISHINGS WERE BEAUTIFUL: HIGH CEILINGS, BALCONIES, A LOVELY COURTYARD, OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL AND SOFT COMFORTABLE BEDS. WE ATE FRESH WAFFLES EACH MORNING. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE RUN OF THE MILL CHAIN HOTEL ROOM, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU. BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A LOVELY “HOME AWAY FROM HOME”, THIS IS IT. THE STAFF WAS INCREDIBLIY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL

After reading some of these reviews we were a little nervous. But a friend highly recomended we give it a chance. And I am sooo glad we did. The Courtyard was so peaceful, room was beautiful, and the staff was out of this world. It was a little rough around the edges in some spots, but everything else was so great. Thanks for a great weekend!!!!!!!

not to impressed w/waffle mix sitting out ,ding room very dark,real chore to get breakfast anywhere else,like the pool or the side porch on the suite we rented.owner rarther snippy.

The Malaga is historic small hotel owned and operated by individuals instead of a conglomerate. Expect all the joys of and limitations of staying in rooms built during the early years of the civil war. Many rooms have authentic period pieces and those that do not use legitimate furniture (instead of mass-produced faux headboard screwed to a wall) and it's location close to the heart of Old Mobile makes it the best place to stay during Mardi Gras. However, this also means that the HVAC systems may not match the performance of those designed in modern buildings. If you long for atmosphere at a very reasonable price, this is the spot for you.

If you have kids, or if you remember the 1950s, or if you are a kid at heart, or if you wish you could live in 1880 for a day - then STAY HERE! It taught our daughter as much history as any history lesson in school ever could. I love this place. The question is "how many more years will it last?" I hope forever, but fear progress will finally win.

Very historical and unique rooms with antiques. For somebody that like the modern look feel of a big hotel do not go here. This place is quaint and has an old look and smell to it that is really neat. A great waffle maker with batter that you pour yourself. That was really fun at breakfast! There are rooms that face the front in the original part that are larger and nicer. They even have a sitting area. They have these large long windows that you open up and walk out onto a balcony...just like the old days.

I loved the location! The rooms were big but they smelled like my Grandmother's house. The floors were not level but it was an old house. Doors were very old, I worried about if the locks would hold and if someone could break in rather easy. Staff was very nice. Breakfast was not what I thought it would be. Mostly cold foods and if you wanted something hot, you had to make it yourself. Waffle batter was left out and instructions on how to use the waffle maker. There was no remote for our TV and I called down to the desk to let them know. They had no universal remotes. No biggie, just a pain to get up in the middle of the night to turn the TV off. Pool was nice. Had to go up some stairs and then down some some stairs to get to it. It was located off the parking lot. I picked this location because we were going on the Carnival Cruise. It is very close to the port. We left our vehicle there and walked to the port. They do have trolleys that stop by, but due to the holiday they were not running. Not sure if I would go back but it wasn't the worst experience of my life. Got out before Hurrican Dennis hit!

My family and I LOVED this hotel. I had to convice my family to stay there but as soon as we got there all resistance stopped. We stayed in one of the historic rooms. The ceilings were beyond high, the linens were soft and clean, we had 4-poster beds and wood floors. The staff was very helpful. We had THE BEST do-it-yourself waffles in the dining room during the continental breakfast. You have to stay here...I know I will again.
