Courtyard by Marriott Mobile Daphne/Eastern Shore
Breakfast not free. Room could have been cleaned/checked better. Find chewing tobacco in bedside table drawer. “Bistro” closes from 10-4 so you can’t even purchase a coffee after “breakfast hours”. New carpet, comfortable beds. Hotel staff friendly and helpful.

Breakfast was exceptional especially for a hotel. Staff went out of their way to help us. Didn’t have time to use the pool or hot tub but we do plan on going back again to this hotel.
