We booked this hotel online. From the online pictures, the rooms and pool seemed to look fine. Wrong!! We checked in on Sunday, the 29th around 8:00pm. After driving ten hours that day, all we could think about was how much fun we would have with the kids at the pool that evening. The check in area seemed nice. The... more

My wife, my two children, and I checked into this hotel on June 29, 2008 at 16:16. We didn't expect the place to be as nice as others in which we had stayed, but we expected much more than we got. The room smelled musty and the first thing we noticed was an inoperable smoke detector. We contacted the front... more

I stayed at howard johnson express in tupelo for 3 days and really enjoyed my stay. The room was very nice and clean. The employees were helpful and nice. I would recommend this hotel for others to go and stay at, as I really had enjoyed my stay there and plan to go back there next week. more

Stayed HJ in april this year. Room tatty and smelly, door did not close properly. Pool digustingly filthy, green slime all over pool. Security guards staking out a room all morning (honest it was like a movie) Need I say more more

We stayed here not from choice, but nowhere else had a room available. The room was clean, bathroom not so clean & only 1 hand towel between 2 & no bath mat. Light fittings were not fixed to the wall properly, damaged chair leg, wallpaper peeling. For the type of accommodation offered it was expensive. Breakfast was good though! more

You get what you pay for. Cigarette burn marks in the tub. Room was less than clean. Hotel was cheap though and the pool nice. more

I will start out by saying that I did not expect luxury accomodations but I did at least expect a clean room. I was in Tupelo for my son's soccer tournament and our coach had booked 27 rooms in October 2005 (7 months prior). We arrived in Tupelo at approximately 10:00 after driving 3 1/2 hours. Check-in was quick and... more

After a week visiting in the Orlando area we headed home and spent the night at the Howard Johnson's Express in Tupelo, MS. It took forever to check in, the clerk was new. Another person came in after I had started checking in and was checked in by the manager, went to his room and returned with a question about... more
