My noise complaint is more with the town of Pontotoc than the hotel. It sounded like half the population of 6,000 people own loud trucks. And I had an inside room.

Everything was pretty good. The bed was a little bit hard, but I like it that way, but there was no coffee pot in the room and I like to have my coffee but other than that, it was good.

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.
