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.
