Baymont by Wyndham Jackson/Ridgeland
The front desk personal was top notch had a small problem and she accommodated us right away no problem no fuss. Pleasantly surprised at the service. You didn't have to pull a tooth to get towels or good service. Pool was clean and for the price it was a safe and secure hotel

Postcard Cabins Homochitto, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy
My husband & I enjoyed our Anniversary getaway at Postcard Cabins Homochitto. The cabin was very clean, comforting, and peaceful 😌 We hiked through Homochitto’s Nature Path, built campfires, cooked, made s’mores, etc. The staff was very friendly and prompt with their responses.
