Graced with a pretty courtyard and general historic vibe, the Malaga, which occupies a 19th-century building, is a good deal for central Mobile. Courtyard rooms have classy hardwood floors and understated sheets, while the historic rooms have a tasteful, Victorian-era vibe. Wrought-iron balconies make you feel like you're in a New Orleans–style production of Romeo & Juliet.
