My first trip to Mobile, Alabama, included a special stay at the very first Hyatt Studios in the country. I’ve stayed at plenty of Hyatt hotels in the past, but this is Hyatt’s first upper midscale extended stay brand, in addition to brands such as Hyatt Place and Hyatt House.. It’s great for remote workers who are always on the go or individuals on a road trip who want to take a long pit stop. If you’re on the hunt for a place to stay close to Mobile that’s clean and affordable, then Hyatt Studios Mobile may be your new favorite hotel.
This trip was hosted. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
Pros:
- Free self-parking for guests
- 24/7 fitness center
- Ideal for extended stays (two weeks to a month)
- Early complimentary breakfast starting at 4:30 am
- Close to downtown Mobile
Cons:
- Housekeeping service every eight days
- In a secluded part of town
SheBuysTravelTip: If you have laundry to do during your stay, the first wash cycle is free. That said, you need to have your own detergent as there isn’t a machine to purchase.

SheBuysTravel Tip: Skip the airport stress — Lyft’s On-Time Pickup Promise guarantees your scheduled ride shows up within 10 minutes of your pickup time. If it doesn’t? You’ll get Lyft Cash. You can schedule up to 90 days in advance and even lock in your rate. Use code SBT25 to save 25% off ONE scheduled ride to the airport.
My favorite part of the room was the couch next to the bed and the 55-inch HDTV. My only real qualm was with the air conditioner. It shut off a few times during the night and I had to finagle it to get it to stay cool at points.
SheBuysTravel Tip: As someone who packs pretty lightly, having a quality hairdryer was a bonus as I didn’t need to bring my own.

Amenities at Hyatt Studios Mobile / Tillmans Corner
Aside from the in-room amenities at Hyatt Studios Mobile, there were several property amenities for guests to take advantage of during their stay. For starters, the 24/7 fitness center and laundry room were amazing. It’s super convenient having a place on-site to work out and get chores done, especially if you’re staying for several nights.
There’s no pool, however, there is a nice outdoor patio area with seating and grills. If you wanted to make burgers or put on a steak, then there’s the ability to do that on-site. For added convenience, there’s a 24/7 mart in the lobby with beverages, snacks, medications and toiletries.
Food at Hyatt Studios Mobile / Tillmans Corner
There are no restaurants on-site; however, they do offer complimentary breakfast between 4:30 am and 10 am. The selection consists of chocolate and banana nut muffins, fruit and granola bars. There are breakfast items such as sandwiches and yogurt available for purchase too inside the refrigerator section.
If you’re looking to grab a meal nearby, you won’t find many sit-down restaurants; however, there are fast food options in close proximity.

I spent the majority of my time at the History Museum of Mobile which had several interesting exhibits on the history of Mardi Gras and a limited-edition puppetry exhibition.

SheBuysTravel Tip: Hyatt Studios Mobile is only a short 15- to 20-minute drive to downtown Mobile, depending on traffic.
Getting to Hyatt Studios Mobile / Tillmans Corner
Hyatt Studios Mobile is a 20-minute car ride from the airport and it’s pretty easy to get to with rideshare or a rental car. Although Mobile is a pretty bustling area, you might find it difficult to get a car after 9 pm or even early in the morning if you need to catch a flight.
SheBuysTravel Tip: I highly recommend scheduling a rideshare in advance if you don’t have a rental car to ensure you make your flight on time.
