Drive past this one
Just an overnight stop on a cross country road trip. We arrived late and the room was HOT. Most don’t air condition rooms prior to arrival so it wasn’t that big of a deal……until it NEVER COOLED OFF.
Older property where you still change the air on the actual unit under the window. It displayed the temp as 77 upon arrival and even with it set at 65 it never got below 77 in the room. There was no wall thermostat so this was not user error in case you’re wondering.
Miserable nights “sleep” when you can’t get comfortable

Unhappy Customer
I had made my reservation thru Hotels .com for a king rm with a handicap roll-shower for $146.59. When i checked in and found I had a tub rather than a walk in shower i checked at front desk why? They said they only had one room like that it got double booked and the other person checked in before me so they got the room. I was not happy and could not take a shower from a tub!!

It was an overnight stay for work. Everything was clean and food options was amazing and next to a Walmart which was a bonus because I needed some personal items. Will recommend this hotel if I had to stay in this area again.

Airicula was awesome and breakfast was good. The room was tired. The bathroom had a cracked sink and mildew stains in the joint where the tub meets the shower wall panels. That is gross. The furniture was scuffed up.

Needs Updating
The only nice hotel in Forest Mississippi has gone down drastically. Was once our favorite place to stay, but now we are considering staying in Meridian and driving back and forth to Forest. Everything in the hotel is outdated and needs an overall change. Not representing the Holiday brand!
