I'm going to keep this short and sweet....My mom and I stayed here while visiting a relative who happens to be a guest of the Federal Corrections facility down the road. I've traveled all over the world and I've stayed in ultra-luxurious resorts and I've also stayed in a motel that was on par with a crack-den back when I was in college. This hotel isn't is bad as a crack-den, but it definitely isn't the Ritz.
All we needed was a place to say for a couple of nights, so we weren't overly picky, but I have to draw the line when the hotel doesn't do anything to stem the problem (a rampant one at that) with the number of crickets inside the hotel. There were crickets all over this God-Forsaken town...it was like one of the plagues of Egypt had landed upon Yazoo City. We found crickets in our hotel room, in the bathroom & in my mom's luggage the next day. Granted, crickets are nice happy insects and are better than roaches, but I don't want them where I sleep. The hotel could use some major pest control. Plus, the place has a smell like a bottle of antiseptic exploded in the room. That wouldn't be too bad if it weren't for the fact that the shower was moldy and there was water damage in the bathroom and deiling tiles.
The place looks nothing like it seems in the picture...It's like it was prebuilt and airlifted onto a parking lot in the middle of a kudzu field. There is a whole lot of nothing to do here, but there is a much nicer Comfort Inn down the road. I recommend staying there they have free wi-Fi and a computer in the lobby for the guests to use, free of charge, for those of you without laptops. We will be staying there the next time we return...
By the way, the mexican resturant in front of the hotel, El Sombrero, has wonderful Mexican food!!!
