We had a block of 15 rooms booked for our girl's national cheerleading competition. This property is the closest lodging near the Desoto Civic Center. We booked here because the management told us it was across the road from the Civic Center. It was within walking distance but it is very hard to walk 15-10 year old little girls across a busy highway and then 1/2 mile in 100 degree heat. Check in was fast and the front desk person was pleasant. The first thing you see when you start down the hallway is sticky strips in the corners to catch mice. Not a good sign. Our room was ok. It was a mini suite with a frig, 2 burner stove and microwave. Convenient! Sure! However, there are no pans, plates or utensils. (No coffee pot). It looked like the owner has been doing some improvements. The carpets seemed new and the rooms I visited looked freshly painted. Some problems other people in our party experienced were: dirty sheets and roaches. The linens were old, dingy and thin from many washings. An investment into new linens would be a great improvement. NO BLANKETS ON THE BEDS. Just a sheet and a bedspread. The girls did not care. They had a blast in the nice little swimming pool. My advice would be to ask to see a room before you lay any money down. There are nicer accomodations at the next exit.
