Enjoyed my stay. Room was clean and ready upon arrival. Front desk staff was very helpful. I will be staying at this hotel again and would recommend this to family and friends. Ocean springs is definitely worth the trip. Easy check-in and check-out. Comfortable beds.

Positives: Big and clean pool, clean rooms, friendly staff and continental breakfast.

Negatives: No pets allowed, I would've liked to bring my dog with me but couldn't.

The hotel was very dirty. Although we were in a non-smoking room, the entire hotel smelled of cigarette smoke. The free breakfast consisted of stale pecan rolls and 1 type of cereal - we went down the road and bought donuts.

Positives: Good air conditioner.

Negatives: It was filthy - dirty sheets, chairs and carpets.

Negatives: Old, dirty and the bed needed to be replaced. Room door did not close completely.

The carpet had areas where it was obviously not vacuumed. Holes in vinyl curtain lining let sunlight show through in several places in the morning. There was a large bleach stain on carpet under the sink;frayed carpet edges, cracks in sink. The shower door would not open or close easily. We first thought we wouldn't be able to get it open at all. The toilet was very wobbly. Overall things seemed in disrepair and dirty. The bed and shower were clean, but this motel just did not give us a comfortable or pleasant feeling.

Positives: Nice grounds, pretty flowers; fridge and microwave.

Negatives: Holes in curtain lining, large bleach stain on carpet, frayed carpet edges, and cracks in sink.

For what it was used for is okay but not more than a one night experience.

Positives: A place to lay my head to sleep.

Negatives: Not enough pillows, and bed was uncomfortable.

Overall, I was very pleased with my experience. The floors of the room could have stood to have been slightly cleaner, but they were not in any way an inconvenience. This was my second stay in this hotel, and we will be staying again if the opportunity arises.

Positives: The hotel's location was ideal for us.

Negatives: The floors could have been cleaner.

A good cheap hotel that had a good staff and clean rooms.

Negatives: Not close to casinos.

Upon seeing the hotel I knew it was going to be my first thought: lower class. There was a strange odor in the second floor hallway. The beds were lumpy and thin. They didn't have extra pillows because "people steal them". The light fixtures in our room (326) over the vanity did not work. The freezer ice melted on the coldest setting possible and leaked water on everything. The elevator broke temporarily on Friday the 25th. We requested towels on Friday and ended up have to use hand towels to dry with because all other towels were drying and then they never brought us any. I would say beware of Howard Johnson Hotel.

Positives: Peaceful and quiet, nice room service ladies.

Negatives: Uncomfortable bed, unclean pool, no extra pillows available, comforter design, small TV, leaky refrigerator, faulty light fixtures, smelled funny.

We went to pull the sheets back and found hair in the sheets. There was no food for the breakfast and the rooms smelled awful!

Positives: The lobby was nice but as soon as you walked in your room it was awful!

Negatives: The rooms smelled of cheap cleaning products and the vents had mold and mildew blowing through them.

I would stay in this hotel again. Rate was fair.

Positives: Entrance to room was inside so I felt safe.

Negatives: Elevator was shaky. I felt uncomfortable in it.

Nice, easy to find, we enjoyed our two night stay, but we were very indifferent about the "hotel not responsible" signs everywhere (vending machine refunds, car damage, guest property missing from rooms, etc).

Positives: Easily accessible, great for a couple day stay.

Negatives: "Hotel not responsible" signs everywhere (vending machine refunds, car damage, guest property missing from rooms, etc).

I would not recommend this place to anyone. We were told not to use the "guest towels". Forced to make our own bed after they stripped the dirty sheets. We were locked out of our room on 2 separate occasions. This motel is not child-friendly! Complained about rooms condition but would not clean it.

Positives: One male clerk helped us when our room key was stolen.

Negatives: Very bad housekeeping if any. Did not change sheets, no clean towels, no coffee, did not dump trash.

Just upgrade the pillows.

Positives: The bed was very comfortable and it was close to everything.

Negatives: The pillows were to small.

Older hotel and maintenance seems to not be quite kept up with.

Positives: Good general accommodations.

Negatives: Musty smell, need carpet in halls, need minor repairs.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 29 Nov 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

Generally, the hotel provided accommodations required for a short restful night at the middle of a 1400 mile trip.

Positives: Reasonable prices, accessible, ample non-smoking room and facilities.

Negatives: Stained upholstered chairs and furniture.

The hotel was warming but it was very uncomfortable. The rooms smelled and the bathrooms were very dirty. Everything else was okay.

Positives: They had good breakfast place.

Negatives: Restrooms with roaches and room smells.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 15 Aug 2007 rated 4 out of 10.

The parking areas were too small for the larger vehicles. The rooms we saw were very small and the areas in the rooms were small and cramped. Our bed was horrible, the pillows were about 1" thick and the mattress was, seriously, as hard as the floor. I am really not sure it was a mattress at all. We won't stay there again.

Positives: I liked the location, the proximity to the interstate and eating establishments.

Negatives: Small parking areas, room extremely small, bed was as hard as the floor (and I'm not exaggerating), awful pillows, cramped spaces overall.

This hotel is in a good location, clean and has a friendly staff. It does not offer allot of amenities, but is a nice place for business travel or leisure stay for someone looking for a good value!

Positives: Nothing spectacular, but clean, friendly and accommodating!

Negatives: Air conditioner did not work in the first room I was placed.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 23 Jun 2007 rated 1 out of 10.

This was the filthiest hotel I've ever stayed in. When I first checked in my first room had bugs in my bed. The floors were very Nasty and sheets were not clean. Then I was moved to another room were the carpet was very Nasty. I also had to settle for a smaller room. During my stay I was without water for over 5 hours. I or my spouse could not take a shower do to the fact that the water was off. The hotel employees never came to clean my room during my stay. Do to the fact I will never stay at that hotel or refer anyone to it.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Nasty, water didn't work, bugs in bed, didnt clean room at all.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 19 Jun 2007 rated 9 out of 10.

Great place if you need a clean room for a cheap price.

Positives: Clean and a great price.

Negatives: Walls were paper thin.
