"It was a good stay I’ll book again"

Sleep Inn & Suites Hattiesburg North

8/10 Good

"Nice place for last minute trip."

Ross Mansion Bed & Breakfast and Events

10/10 Excellent

"My sister and I stayed with our 80+ yr old mother on our way to Florida and it was a fabulous experience! The house has been beautifully restored and decorated to the period when it was built in 1903. You could spend hours looking at all the art, china, rooms and garden. The owners and their daughter were very gracious and made the best breakfast served on beautiful china. It’s the perfect place to have a weekend getaway, a girls trip or have an event. I’ll be going back with my husband for sure!"
