I travel with my husband when he travels for business. We were in Tupelo for business at a very busy time, when the Holiday Inn had totally goofed up our reservation guarantee after calling 72 hours in advance as a diamond member to request a guaranteed room, they booked us in a near by town at a hotel we were already staying in and it was substandard, it was the hotel we were asking to be moved from (they also booked it at a higher price but that's another review). So we needed a room and every where was full. We didn't know what we were going to do when we decided to stop in the Holiday Inn and see if they would do anything about their mistake and found the Baymont Inn is right in front of their property and was not fully booked, they could give us a room for the 3 nights we needed.
The GM was very pleasant and helpful, the room was clean and had been redone at some time with newish linen's, nice soft towels, clean bathroom, one piece tub/shower with a newer wrap out type shower rod, and decent furnishings. The bathroom sink is outside the bathroom, nice to have use while someone is showering. The room was equipped with a microwave and fridge, always a nice plus when on business for several days to keep water and snacks in. The halls and foyer were vacuumed and clean also with what looked like possibly fresh paint, or just well kept and the parking area outside was newly repaved.
The typical business standard hotel I stay in with my husband is a Marriott or above but that wasn't available in the area, everything, 20 ish hotels near by were booked full, and I was beginning to be afraid what I might find but this one was quite adequate with a pool, hot tub and sauna to enjoy. It wasn't the Marriott but it was certainly acceptable.
I would have no qualms about booking in here in future. The breakfast was fine also, with hot sausage, biscuits, make your own waffles and toast, juice and coffee.
