Dining hint Short drive from hotel

Many excellent restaurants within walking/driving distance! No need to eat every meal in the hotel due to availability of many high-quality restaurants nearby. ( Downside-TAXIS about $10/ each way to non-walkable restaurants).

T. D., MOBILE, AL

Shopping Short drive from hotel

To get to the downtown shops, take the air-conditioned big bus which cost only $1.20/person one way. If you are really ready to buy diamond jewelry this is the place to get them. You should be able to get them for about half the price they ask for.
