I stayed here on the first night of my cross country trip from North Carolina to California. I'd been warned that Mobile can be a bit rough, and this hotel is just West of downtown. I was a little nervous about leaving anything valuable in the car, as I saw a few questionable individuals hanging out in the parking lot. But, the customer service at the hotel was great, and I can't say enough kind things about the lady running the front desk. The value of the hotel was good. The hotel is located along a strip of low budget hotels. There are a few restaurants nearby, but I opted to go to The Brick Pit, after seeing its reviews on UrbanSpoon.The beds at the hotel were pretty basic, the room didn't smell great, and the mattress had seen better days... but it was clean!

The Peachoid is a feature on an episode of one of my favorite shows, "House of Cards". I've driven by countless times, but as I was moving from North Carolina to California, I decided to stop by the water tower and snap some photos. The landmark is really unique, and a signature of the state of South Carolina. Worth a stop. Incredibly easy to get to off the highway; just follow the signs when you exit I-85.
