The Tangerine Motel

What guests think

Reviews of The Tangerine Motel highlight a renovated schoolhouse stay outside town, with consistently clean, comfortable rooms, thoughtful touches like snacks and robes, scenic grounds, and an overall experience many consider worth the extra drive.

Guests frequently commend friendly, responsive hosts and smooth contactless entry, though some disliked the lack of an on‑site front desk or staff presence, especially at night. The location is remote and very quiet, with little to no nearby dining or stores, so planning ahead for food and transport helps. Rooms feel modern and well designed—often with standout rain showers—while a few noted compact layouts, thin walls, mixed Wi‑Fi, or missing items like a desk or microwave. Best for travelers who value character and calm more than immediate access to city amenities.

Very nice and clean rooms! The property has gates that are locked after a certain time at night, you use your room code to get in, so this made us feel very safe! Friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Such a wonderful stay! Very clean, super cute, very comfortable. It is secluded and about 30 minutes from Columbus, MS where I was attending events - but the style, comfort, peacefulness, and amenities made up for the longer drive. HIGHLY recommend the Tangerine! Security was great too - the whole place was amazing and I can't say enough good things. Perfect for Instagram too, the branding was on point! Love the Tangerine!

This property is really unique! Far off the beaten path, which means peace and quiet for me! Good wifi, clean and safe room, newly remodeled modern designing. The owners have put a lot of care into this facility, which would be a great place to host a small wedding or corporate event!

This is a hidden gem! This is more of an event center than a hotel but so cool. The Hill is an old school that has been converted to a wedding venue, business and 18 room hotel. It is approximately 15 minutes away from Starkville in the middle of nowhere. The facility is beautiful. The rooms are amazing and the owners are great.

Very unique stay at a remodeled school turned hotel/ wedding venue. Rooms were nicely decorated, up to date, and super clean. Free treats upon arrival. Quiet as we were the only guests. Only negative is the milk offered for breakfast was expired and no one was around for us to let them know. Would still stay again.

Honestly one of the best stays I’ve had in a long time and I will be going out of my way to return. We had the library room cause my girl is a nerd and I would highly recommend.

The room was newly updated with some great perks. Our suprise was it is very remote and there is NO staff on property (or guests for that matter). I was with my daughter and not at all expecting an empty establishment - not seeing any staff and in a remote area with NO ONE around. Not at all comfortable with this. This should be disclosed on site. I would not have booked knowing this.

I cannot say enough good things about the Tangerine. We were in town for my grandmothers 99th birthday party and wanted to try a different place to stay than our usual commercial line of hotels and I’m so glad we did. From the contactless check in, to the cutest little seating areas outside to gather with others you’re staying with, to the nightly breakfast drop off and invites for “popcorn and beverage happy hour”, it was evident someone is pouring their heart into this place and it didn’t go unnoticed. My parents and sister stayed here also, all of our rooms were different but equally precious with details that made each one unique. If you ever get a chance to stay at this cute little place on the outskirts of town, it’s a 10/10 recommend 👌

We needed some attention given to our door lock and Robbie and his mom expeditiously resolved the problem! Suggest getting tissues for the room otherwise no complaints… we absolutely loved our stay ans highly recommend the Tangerine!
