Pros:

It’s a great place to stay. It’s not a grand 5 star. It’s great room at a great rate. The room is clean as well at the bed. I stay there everytime I come to Tupelo.

Pros:

I was looking for a cheap room on our way to Florida and we just needed a place to sleep for the night so I booked this motel since it looked descent from the pictures. The moment I walked in I felt dirty, everything in it was older. The next morning I woke up with painful bed bug bites
