This was an excellent location for our Homecoming events! It was convenient to many food options and walkable to the game with free parking! Will definitely be back for JSU events in the future.

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
