What guests think

At Best Western Executive Suites, reviews are mixed: many guests like the spacious suite-style rooms, friendly staff, and good hot breakfast, while others report inconsistent cleanliness, damp or smoky odors, thin walls, and a motel-style property with maintenance issues.

The location is convenient to restaurants and shopping, though a few mention the surrounding area isn’t the best. Facilities are basic; the pool often requires advance reservations with limited availability, and some shared areas and laundry machines need attention. Some guests experienced key problems, booking or deposit frustrations, and inconsistent housekeeping. Expect a simple, spacious stay with trade-offs in upkeep and consistency.

Bathroom could have definitely been cleaner. The washer and dryer didn’t work properly. It says newly renovated but I feel that was misleading. The customer service was really good.

This is a motel in need of a deep cleaning. painting & general maintenance. Friendly front desk staff & located next to many restaurants. I was told that the pool was by reservation only & only one hotel room at a time could use it for 1 hour. I've never heard of that. There was a game in town & maybe they were worried about partying? The front desk gal even warned me not to have any parties & a $100 hold was placed on my credit card. Not that it doesn't happen but I am a 60 yo female by herself. I'm happy that she thought I could still throw a shindig but still, not likely. Breakfast was not great. I wanted to do a load of laundry but after seeing the laundry room in the back of the property I changed my mind. It was filthy and scary looking. No thanks

Had nothing but problems with front desk! After checking in and reminding them i had a service dog, manager John asked if i was staying there, no pets, had I already unpacked, and why didnt I tell front desk i had a service dog? All of which was done properly. He was unwelcoming, gruff, not hospiyable as he attempted to try and make me wrong. Had to go to front desk 4 times as my key kept not working. When i headed for the pool, i was told i had to have a reservation to use it, only one room can use it at a time! No openings available that evening. Never heard of such a policy. Just didnt feel good there at all

This hotel has the best showers and the water pressure is simply out of the world. I typically don't like to stay in hotels that are like motels-that don't have rooms facing the inside of the hotel but this one was truly an exception. My only regret is that it didn't have an elevator and we were given a room on the second floor. I was traveling with my 84 year old MIL. I only realized when we got to the hotel, that I should have booked a room for an elderly person but she is excellent shape and was able to maneuver the two flights of stairs without too many issues. The free breakfast was wonderful. The reception and dining area was very clean and the staff was very friendly and accomodating when needed. I highly recommend this hotel if you are only in town for a few days. I just wish that it wasn't so far away from the college, but I am learning that this is just the way Mississippi is layed out.

Room was really big. Carpet looked like it had not been vacuumed and the maid gave me the shower curtain to hang up. Beds were comfy. The couch was missing a back cushion but my kids didn't mind. Location was pretty good. You have to schedule swim time for the pool.

We booked this motel bc of the inside pool so the kids could enjoy it but they didn’t get to swim at all because there was no openings then went to get clean towels there was 4 of us and all they had was 3 clean I was stunned when she told me that over all I was surprisly disappointed in our stay need to do better

Well we got checked in and went to swim and was told it was by reservation only. Was definitely disappointed if I had known that I would’ve booked something else. The floors in our room were so gross they caked so much black stuff on the bottom of our feet, looks like he’d been running around the asphalt with no shoes on. And this was after we washed his feet once already about an hour before this picture

Initially very impressed with this older property. Found everything in excellent condition and bed was extremely comfortable. However, when got in shower I noticed black footprints. I had walked across the floor barefooted and the floor was so dirty my feet made prints in the shower. My husband had same problem.

This is a very clean and comfortable place for a quick stay. Cleanliness and friendliness were top notch! Very affordable as well. There is a complimentary breakfast in the morning, but we didn't take advantage of that, so no idea about quantity/quality. But we were very happy with how CLEAN the room was! No stained linens, nothing dingy or dusty. The AC worked great and was reasonably quiet. The only thing that some may not like is the outdoor entrances. Not a problem at all, unless it's just not your preference. Overall a quiet and pleasant stay!

The room was damp with alot of moisture. Even the covers and pillow casings felt damp. There was a smell in the room as if it had rained in it. It was noisy the last night there, but not intolerable. The room didn’t get cleaned, so we had to get clean towels from the front desk. Overall, would not book there again, mainly because of the moisture in the room. I’ve never experienced that before. Definitely couldn’t be healthy sleeping in a room full of moisture.

The room was clean and quiet. They did not service the room so we did not have clean towels or coffee in the room for our second night/day. I could call to ask for these items, but the phone in the room did not work. We were expecting severe storms that had spawned tornadoes all day. When asked where to go during a tornado warning the front desk told us about a storm shelter outside of town. The breakfast was not replenished in the morning. One of the reasons we chose this property was for the breakfast. If you need a place to stay for one night, it’s fine as long as the weather is good. Otherwise look somewhere else.
