We were in 108 forest ms. We lifted the direct tv box and roaches fell out. The bathroom had hair all behind the door wall and floor the sheets on the bed was just remade not replaced the worst stay I ever had and I will tell anyone. I can for a special visit to see my mother from Texas and it was the worse stay I should have just booked the holiday inn. I will never make this mistake again. We had to go by blankets and air freshener and disinfectant spray I already paid for the room and I didn’t have xtra to get another hotel so I had to stay here three nights in this.

This place is a complete dump! I rented a non smoking room and when I arrived at this pathetic property they gave me a smoking room and told me it was my fault. I went right across the street to holiday inn and had a very good non smoking room. They also kept my money. DONT STAY HERE

At $100 per night less than other properties in the area, the EconoInn was perfectly serviceable. Our double room was a good size. The down sides were the group standing outside our room drinking and no hot water in the morning (though we had it in the evening.)
