We were in 108 forest ms. We lifted the direct tv box and roaches fell out. The bathroom had hair all behind the door wall and floor the sheets on the bed was just remade not replaced the worst stay I ever had and I will tell anyone. I can for a special visit to see my mother from Texas and it was the worse stay I should have just booked the holiday inn. I will never make this mistake again. We had to go by blankets and air freshener and disinfectant spray I already paid for the room and I didn’t have xtra to get another hotel so I had to stay here three nights in this.

This place is a complete dump! I rented a non smoking room and when I arrived at this pathetic property they gave me a smoking room and told me it was my fault. I went right across the street to holiday inn and had a very good non smoking room. They also kept my money. DONT STAY HERE

I booked 3 rooms for the evening with 4 guest for each room. One room came with only 1 towel and the other with 2 each. We were given a total of 4 extra towels when requested. When I asked for more I was told that there were no other towels available and that guest are responsible for bringing their own. Found blood on the mattress in a room and the staff refused to give us a new room as they were full (although they continued to book rooms in front of me while I waited for them to come see the dirty room. Once he did he offered to change the blanket, but at that point the family in that room booked another hotel. Another room the toilet would not work and when I looked in the take to see if it was just the float I found a rag inside. I was told that out of three rooms I had three problems and that people never complain about them… we took the two towels from the dirty room to the other with one towel and got a call to both of the remaining rooms about 30 min later asking if we stole the towels. While in the lobby waiting on them to come look at the dirty room another gentlemen came in for what seems like not the first time to get help with a broken tv. There were several men loitering outside drinking and talking until very late. When we left in the morning we seen that the room with the blood had been booked. This was turkey an extremely disappointing experience.
