The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. The property had recently been renovated, so the room was in excellent shape. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The location is great since it is so close to Ole Miss and since there are several restaurants and a convenience store close by.

The staff was very friendly. They put us in the same room every year, which is on the ground floor. This enables us to bring our bicycles in at night. I like the way that they are always accomodating.

The room's were excellent and very clean. The staff are the definition of excellence, no attitude just an appetite to serve. I worked at this hotel 45 years ago and was nervous about the condition of the rooms, cause they were in bad shape back then, but the money invested in remodeling resulted in an excellent and comfortable stay. I've stayed in worse and paid twice as much, will definitely stay there again.

The lady that checked me in was very friendly and helpful. It’s not the cleanest ever and the rooms are a bit small, but it worked just fine for a group of guys to stay. The breakfast provided is only cereal and milk and orange juice, but if you want more than that the Jacks next door serves really good southern breakfasts.

If your desperate for a room within 30 min of Oxford - this is your place. This was a throwback to the 70's. very outdated , but I kinda expected it. The few rooms in Oxford for a game weekend wanted $1,000 per night.

No fire evacuation plans posted on the door. No hand towels in bathroom. Had to ask for one. 1 bar of soap and 1 small tube of shampoo. Floors were dirty. Queen size bed on top of a full size foundation. Shower curtain brackets that holds the rod were very loose. Shower head was small and to low where you had to bend your head backwards to wash your hair.

We came for a football game at Ole Miss. Most places had sold out except this one. It was ok, not fantastic but did what we needed it to do. Tried to get an extra towel but was not possible per manager. Beds not as soft as I like but not horrible. It was just an ok kind of place.

Baseball weekend

Had to travel out of Oxford for a baseball game because it was graduation weekend. I’ve stayed here before when it was under construction. My complaint is that I asked the clerk the evening before checkout if I could checkout at noon instead of 11. She was rude and told me I could wait in the lobby because the room had to be cleaned. Yeah. Ok. I’m sure all the rooms could be cleaned at once.

I don’t think I recommend this hotel right now

The pictures listed are not accurate. The rooms are very cramped. You can hardly get into the bathroom without falling into the toilet or tub. Our bathroom door wouldn’t even shut. We had paint chips all over our room. Our sheets and pillows were disgusting! Like yellow and brown with mystery stains terrible. We had to buy our own to use. They only have the one side of the hotel for smoking and pet stay. So everyyyone & their mom was on that side. Including a rodeo group that was up yelling and partying all night long. Oh and they have renovations going so the rooms smell of paint really bad and be prepared to wake up at 7am with loud noises and they will continue until about 7pm. There is no breakfast, no coffee maker in room, and they do charge $20 per night for pets.
Paint chips everywhere
All over floor and gets stuck to everything
No pets in lobby and that black lady will be rude about it.
Pet notice!
