Cleanliness
6
Multiple guests reported strong musty/foot/mold odors, visibly dirty bathrooms and carpets, missed cleaning spots, and an unclean pool (floating debris). Several reviews describe rooms as 'incredibly dirty' or 'disgusting', indicating a clear problem with housekeeping consistency.
Service
9.4
Service is frequently praised: front-desk staff called out by name (Justin, Ruby) for being exceptional and helpful (manual check-in during a key outage). Mostly friendly and helpful staff impressions, though there are isolated lapses (management uninterested in breakfast readiness; staff knocking despite a 'Do Not Disturb' sign).
Location
9.4
Location is repeatedly described as convenient and great for visits (e.g., proximity to Ole Miss), with multiple guests citing it as a primary positive factor.
Room Quality
7.8
Rooms are generally comfortable with working fixtures and good beds, but several issues were noted: occasional musty smells, rusty tub spots, lamp/lighting difficulties, and a bathroom door binding — indicating mixed room-condition experiences.
Amenities
7
Amenities are mixed: breakfast is offered but was reported bare by mid-morning and staff sometimes slow to replenish coffee/food; pool cleanliness is a concern (debris, uninviting appearance); lobby water decanter cleanliness was also questioned.
Value for Money
9
Several guests noted the room price was great and the property met their needs for short stays; overall perceived as good value despite some cleanliness/amenity issues.
Food and Beverage
7.9
Breakfast received generally positive notes (described as good by multiple guests), but there are recurring complaints about limited items later in the morning and staff not keeping items/coffee ready for later arrivals.
Overall Experience
8.3
Most guests describe an overall comfortable, convenient stay with friendly staff and willingness to return, but cleanliness and occasional amenity/staffing lapses tempered the experience.

Pros:

The location

Cons:

The smell was awful. The room smelled like feet. As if the carpet needs to be taken out.

It was fine; comfortable, but could be cleaner.
Pros:

The location was nice. I liked the outdoor seating area, but they could have more. The bed was comfortable. Everything in the room worked. Water pressure/temperature was good — no complaints there.

Cons:

It wasn’t dirty, but it could’ve been cleaner. The complimentary water decanter in the lobby needed cleaning; some black material (presumably mold) fell out into a family member’s glass. There were some places on vertical surfaces in the hotel room that were missed when cleaned. The worst experience was on the last morning there. So, it’s the day we’re checking out, and I have a “Do Not Disturb” sign on my door. Staff knocks on my door several hours before checkout. I was still asleep!! I come to the door to find they’re there to change out the telephone. Couldn’t that have waited until I checked out??? And why are they banging on my door when I have the “Do Not Disturb” sign up??!!?? That was quite annoying. The pool didn’t look too inviting — needs to be cleaned better.

Pros:

Justin at the front desk was exceptional. Ruby in the bkfst area was very good as well. Apparently Ruby was called to cover a shift late..Management seemed uninterested in making coffee or having bkfst. Items ready for anyone that came down at 740 or later. Room was clean. Had to crawl under a desk to get a floor lamp to work..We stopped for the night on the way to Florida as we do 2-3 times a year. We thought we had found a good place to stay but we will find another place next time..So other than Justin and Ruby, we were not impressed with staff...

Short and sweet, just what we needed!
Pros:

Its a nice place, very clean and comfortable. Everyone was nice. Really no complaints. I would definitely stay here again with my family.

Cons:

The bath tub in our room was a little rusty in a couple of small spots, but thats nitpicking. Other than that the room was nice. Also we didnt have any handsoap in our bathroom, and i dont like using refilled bottles because you just never know what people before have done to them. But for that reason we always bring our own stuff to use. So really its just a matter of preference for me. Everything was nice. I really have no major complaints at all.

Pros:

Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful getting me checked in. The key system had gone down due to a thunderstorm and he worked with his manager to do this manually and get my room assignment and key.
