I would stay here again in a heartbeat! The staff was friendly and helpful.I stayed here because the Battle House was booked that weekend and I like Mariott hotels.The room was very clean and in good shape.The valet seemed a little slow, but we were there with a convention so I think they were very busy.
This fabulous hotel was renovated in 2007 and reopened as a Marriott Renaissance. Old reviews (from before November 2007) hold no water to the hotel that stands today. It is new, fresh, hip and comfortable with an amazing restaurant and fresh, young staff eager to help and make your stay the best it can be.

Booked Event
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/24/07
I am from Mobile and recently contacted the sales office to arrange for an event later in the year. The sales person ignored 5 request to return my telephone call and when I did actually reach him, by repeated calling, he was of little help, however he did promise to return my phone call within 2 days. As you may have guessed, no phone call was ...

BEWARE
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/21/07

I also had to call several times to request that shower cleaner be sent to my room since the housekeeper did not clean my bathtub. I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights ...

I enjoyed the location because it was right there where you could walk right down the road to a great restaraunt like "Spot of Tea" (On Sundays, One can enjoy a great Brunch of Eggs Benedict and Dangerous Hashbrowns). You could go right across the street to the Exploreum which is a great science, nature, etc. exhibit for children of all ...
I love the Riverview Plaza because it is located in the heart of downtown Mobile Alabama! The best time to go is during Mardi Gras...Mobile is the ORIGINAL HOME OF MARDI GRAS, now we love New Orleans but Mobile is the "TRUE" home! The Riverview Plaza is right across the street from the IMAX theater and it's also across from the ...
My sons and I went in March 2005. We were refused a rollaway bed. (My sons refused to sleep in the same bed.) One of them slept on the floor. After eating in the hotel restaurant which was $185 for the 3 of us, without dessert or side dishes, we chose the option to add the meal to the bill and pay at the end of our stay. The desk clerk called ...
