We stayed at this property for a getaway with friends. The Rooms and Hallways had a smell that just was not right. You can't explain it but it is a smell that is just there and it is not very good. The Bed in our room needed replaced years ago, It was old and not very comfortable. This place is... more

Place is dirty and smelly. Rooms and hallways unclean. Pillows not much better than a pillow case with hand towels in there. Pool/hot tub was cold. Internet didn't work in the room, was told by the desk clerk, "I guess you'll have to use it down here then." Trouble is, it didn't work there either. Was told they were fixing... more

Upon arrival, we noticed a bad smell in the lobby and hallways. As we entered the room we were greeted by a eye burning smell of mothballs. I hunted around and found 10 mothballs behind a dresser, along with assorted pizza topping from some previous guest. We slept in our clothes with the window open, as the smell was overpowering..... more

Shawn and Sandra where very accomodating with our group. The hotel was clean, the pool was perfect and so was the hot tub. All of our friends had a great time. We are looking forward to our stay with them again. Tons of places to eat, from a Burger King right across the road, Subway, Mamma Leone's, and the Stampede... more

Being from south MS, the "snow showers" that resulted in snow covering the interstate at least 3 inches deep (and still coming down hard) led to our stumbling upon this place when pulling off for fuel and a breather to decide what to do (go on or stop). When we saw the Gaylord Inn right next to the Shell station,... more

We are stayin here now. This hotel is ok. room is ok. they are clean. The beds aren't very comfortable. This hotel used to be the econo lodge, but they built a new section that has been open since 2001. The lobby has a bad smell. The room was freezing upon check in. The internet service only works close to... more
