Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Mobile Daphne/ E Shore
Hotel was nice. Room was comfortable other than the housekeeping being extremely loud outside of my doo and waking me up. Breakfast was ok. Could’ve been better. Parking was awful however, the desk person allowed me to park just outside the covered pavilion. I was there less than 12 hours.
