5/5 Excellent
"Nice hotel at a good price and location. "
A verified traveler from Lewisburg stayed at Baymont by Wyndham Jackson/Ridgeland
"They don’t clean the sheets between customers. They don’t provide towels and if you use theirs you have to put them in the wash yourself. You pay a $50 deposit for “cleaning” but the carpets haven’t been washed in what looked like years. They gave me a problem because I had a service dog with papers to show them. They said “everyone says that.” Then got made because it wasn’t a pet that they could take another $20 from me. It was the worst and dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed in. "
A verified traveler stayed at OYO Townhouse Jackson/Ridgeland
"The staff was friendly and helpful! The room was clean and welcoming. The walls were thin though, so you can hear everything in the rooms next to you and in the halls."
"Staff was nice. Room was
Spacious. We arrived later in the day and left early in the morning, so we didn’t get to experience much of the surrounding area, but from what little we did see, it seemed to be right in the heart of dowtown."
