Let's dive in. Deeply.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (But a Hopeful One)
Alright, first things first. Accessibility. This is important, and I’m happy to report it mostly gets a thumbs up. The website clearly states "Facilities for disabled guests" which is always a good start. (A+. They're trying!) The elevator was working, which is a huge win, and I saw ramps leading into the main areas. (Good job elevators & ramps! A-) Now, I didn't personally test every single thing, but the general vibe felt… promising. The front desk seemed helpful, and I'm optimistic that with pre-planning and specific request of assistance the staff would do their best. (Hoping the staff is as helpful as they seem, B+).
Rant Time: The Bathroom!
This is where the "almost perfect" crumbled. The bathrooms, although equipped with grab bars, felt… a little cramped. Like, strategically designed to make you doubt your own elbow room. This is a common problem and I didn't want to be overly critical, especially because the hotel tries. On-Site Fun & Games (Or, "Can I Get a Margarita Here?")
Okay, let's get to the fun stuff. The pool! Yes! The outdoor pool was… well, it was a pool. But, and this is a BIG but, the poolside bar had decent margaritas. This is the most important fact. I mean, what more could you want? (aside from maybe a swim-up bar?) I think it would be amazing if poolside bar gave some options of non-alcoholic options.
Things to Do (Besides Swim in Chlorine and Judge the Buffet)
- Ways to Relax: Honestly? That margarita. And the surprisingly comfortable pool chairs.
- Body Scrubs, Wraps, and All That Jazz: Nope. This ain't that kind of Comfort Inn (thankfully).
- Fitness Center: I peeked in. It had treadmills and some other stuff. I’m not a gym person, so let's move on. My stay did not include a workout, but I am open to suggestions.
- Pool with a View: It's a pool. The view was… other buildings, I guess? Still, the margarita made it more enjoyable.
- Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: Nope. No spa. No sauna. No steamroom. Just hope for sun.
Cleanliness and Safety: Sanitization Shenanigans
Okay, post-pandemic, cleanliness is paramount. And Moss Point Getaway tries. You could tell. Hand sanitizer dispensers were everywhere, staff wore masks (at least they did when I was there), and there were signs about the "extra cleaning protocols." (A for effort!) The rooms were… clean-ish. Honestly, it's hard to tell with hotel rooms, right? Like, how deep is the clean? I didn’t exactly inspect every single crevice. (C+ for general cleanliness. Did the cleaners use anti-viral products? Maybe!)
- Rooms Sanitized Between Stays: That's what the signs said, anyway. Let's hope they did!
- Dining Setup: Safe dining setup was a good thing, and I loved the option to take my meal to my room.
Dining, Drinking, and the Buffet of Dreams (and Possibly Regret)
Listen, the buffet breakfast, a Comfort Inn mainstay, is always a gamble. This one… was a gamble. It was a buffet. There was food. I ate some. The coffee, though… not a strong point. But hey, there was a waffle maker. (Waffle maker: A+). I'd consider going out for breakfast next time.
- Asian Cuisine in Restaurant/Vegetarian Restaurant: Nope. This is Mississippi. This isn't the place.
- Coffee/Tea in Restaurant/Coffee Shop: I'm still recovering from the coffee. Bring your own.
- Poolside Bar: Yes! Decent margaritas! Need I say more?
Services and Conveniences: The Helpful (and Not-So-Helpful)
- Cash Withdrawal: Yes, there's probably an ATM. (I didn't actually try it because I'm lazy).
- Concierge: Nope. But the front desk was pretty good.
- Elevator: YES! A lifesaver.
- Laundry Service: Yep!
- Food Delivery: Good to know.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly Factor
- Babysitting Service: Nope.
- Family/Child Friendly: Seemed okay for kids.
- Kids Meal: Ask at the front desk, I guess? Not a kid person, so IDK.
The Rooms: The Heart of the Matter
My room. Hmm. It was a room. Clean-ish, as mentioned. The bed was… comfy enough. You know, hotel-bed comfy. Not "I'm going to sleep here forever" comfy.
- Internet Access: Free Wi-Fi, and it worked!
- Air Conditioning: Functional, thank God.
- Soundproofing: Let's just say I heard some noises. From the hall. And possibly next door.
- Non-Smoking: Good. Very good.
- Bathroom: See rant above.
Getting Around: The Basics
- Car Park [Free of Charge]: Yes! Always a win.
- Airport Transfer: Might be available. Ask. Taxi service also availiable.
The Verdict: Unbeatable Deals? Maybe. Worth It? Probably.
Look, Moss Point Getaway isn’t a luxury resort. It doesn't pretend to be. But it's a decent, clean-ish, reasonably safe place to crash. With a pool! And the margaritas. Those margaritas are a serious draw. Given the price – yes, the “unbeatable deals” are probably true – it's a solid choice for a quick trip. Just bring your own good coffee, and be prepared for some… Comfort Inn-isms. Overall, I'd give it a solid B-. (And an A+ for the margarita guy.)
Escape to Comfort: Lathrop's Best Airport Hotel!Alright, buckle up, buttercups, 'cause we're about to unearth the raw, unfiltered truth about a trip to… drumroll … the glorious (and slightly confusing) expanse of Moss Point, Mississippi! My base of operations? The Comfort Inn Moss Point Pascagoula. Expect some serious highs, definite lows, questionable food choices, and enough procrastination to fill a Mississippi catfish. Let's dive in, shall we?
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Comfort Inn Confrontation
- 1:00 PM: Arrive at Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport (GPT). The air is thick, humid, and smells vaguely of… well, the Gulf. Excitement? Absolutely! Mostly because I'm craving a cold beer after that flight.
- 1:45 PM: Rental car pickup. Always a test of patience. This time, it was a battle of wills with a rental agent who seemed determined to upsell me on… everything. I swear I almost bought a lifetime supply of tire sealant. Victory! Finally had a reasonable-looking sedan.
- 2:30 PM: Driving to the Comfort Inn. Google Maps tried to take me through what looked suspiciously like someone’s backyard. Seriously, Google Maps, are you trying to get me eaten by a gator? Eventually, made it to the hotel. Looks… okay. Standard Comfort Inn fare.
- 2:45 PM: Check-in. The woman at the front desk, bless her heart, clearly has seen things. Or maybe it was just a long day. Asked for a room on the top floor, away from the ice machine. You know, the things that keep you awake at the dead of night. Success! Room 306. Success? No.
- 3:00 PM: Room inspection. Okay, let's be honest, I’m not expecting the Ritz. But the TV remote’s kinda sticky, and the carpet… let’s just say I wouldn’t want to eat off it. But hey, the AC works! Small victories.
- 4:00 PM: The Comfort Inn pool. Oh, the shimmering promise of chlorine-infused bliss! Until I saw it. A lone, slightly deflated inflatable flamingo, surrounded by a sea of… debris. Leaves, questionable plastic bits, and what looked suspiciously like a discarded sandwich wrapper. My dream of a refreshing dip dissolved faster than ice in a Mississippi summer. I decided to save myself for tomorrow. Big. Mistake.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at a local restaurant (to be determined, I'm open to ideas). I think. Probably gonna opt for something with seafood. Hopefully.
Day 2: Coastal Dreams, and Maybe Some Regrets
- 9:00 AM: Sleep in! Ah, that's the life.
- 10:00 AM: Breakfast at the Comfort Inn. The free breakfast: the eternal gamble. Waffles? Possibly. Scrambled eggs? Potentially. Gut rot? Almost certainly. But hey, it's free! Made the mistake of grabbing a waffle and a coffee that tasted vaguely of industrial cleaner.
- 11:00 AM: Coastal drive and beach escapade. We're talking about the Gulf Coast, baby! And it’s… breathtaking. The water is a gorgeous shade of green, the sand is white and soft, and the salty air just hits you like a refreshing slap in the face. Found a beautiful spot. And here, I was just happy.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch: a picnic. I packed a sandwich, some chips, and a bottle of water. Turns out, the best part of the day was the seagulls. They're ruthless little scavengers. They swooped in as soon as I opened my sandwich. I guess, if I give them lunch (as I did in my moment of panic), they're my new friends. Which is cool, I guess.
- 3:00 PM: Back to the Comfort Inn (a little sunburned, a lot sandy). Now, the pool. The deflated flamingo still remains. I made the mistake of going in. And the regret. Oh, the regret. It was cold. It was gross. And the water was, sadly, not as much a pristine blue as it looked. My dreams crashed.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Now, I saw a place called 'The Shrimp Basket'. I hope that's good. Should be. I'm starving.
Day 3: Exploring and Acceptance
- 9:00 AM: Woke up feeling slightly guilty.
- 10:00 AM: Breakfast – The waffle machine called me!
- 11:00 AM: I decided to find a place for lunch. But the place seemed like it got some pretty bad reviews.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch. I'm still too scared and indecisive to find a place. Maybe the place I saw last night.
- 4:00 PM: Went back to the hotel. Watched some TV. The sticky remote didn't bother me as much.
- 6:00 PM: I decided to find my own food. And, I think, made a good decision. Even if it was a simple one.
- 8:00 PM: Watched some more tv.
Day 4: Departure & Reflections
- 9:00 AM: Last breakfast. Goodbye waffles and coffee.
- 10:00 AM: Checkout – the process was much smoother this time. Maybe because I didn’t try to engage in any meaningful conversation.
- 10:30 AM: Final drive.
- 11:00 AM: Airport.
- 12:00 PM: Departure.
Final Thoughts:
Look, Moss Point, Mississippi, isn’t Paris. It isn't the Maldives. It’s… Moss Point. And the Comfort Inn? Let's just say it's an experience. But despite the sticky remotes, the questionable pool, and the never-ending humidity, there was a strange, undeniable charm to the whole trip. The people are friendly (mostly), the coast is truly stunning, and you learn to lower your expectations (a valuable life skill, truly). Would I go back? Probably not. But hey, at least I have a story to tell, right? And isn't that what really matters? Now, if you'll excuse me, I need a strong drink and a long shower. Wish me luck.
Rodeway Inn Mercer (PA): Your Unexpectedly Amazing Getaway!
Okay, spill. What *actually* makes these "Unbeatable Deals" at the Moss Point Getaway? I'm skeptical, you know?
Alright, alright, I get it. "Unbeatable Deals" sounds like something my grandma would yell at a Tupperware party. Let's be real. But here's the deal, straight from a seasoned traveler (me, obviously). They've got a weirdly consistent habit of dropping prices, especially if you're flexible with your dates. Think mid-week stays, early booking, or even just checking back a few times. Seriously, the price swings are bonkers. I once snagged a suite for the price of a basic room thanks to a midweek slump. It felt like stealing!
But it's not *just* the cheap rooms. They bundle stuff. Think free breakfast (which, okay, doesn't always win awards, but hey, it's food!), maybe some points towards future stays. And honestly, the location? Prime real estate. Close to everything, which I learned the hard way when I had to walk three miles in the pouring rain at another hotel's location after I lost my car keys earlier.
Speaking of breakfast... How *is* the breakfast? Be honest, I'm a coffee snob.
Okay, coffee snob? I respect that. Look, the coffee at the Moss Point Getaway is... functional. It's not going to win any awards. It's the kind of coffee that fuels you, not necessarily delights. Think of it as the silent hero of the breakfast buffet – it’s there, it does its job, and it probably won’t be the highlight of your day, but it'll keep you going.
They usually have the usual suspects – scrambled eggs (sometimes a little... rubbery, let's be honest), waffles (potentially the best thing there), some fruit, and the aforementioned coffee. I always bring my own instant packets. It's just the way to go. But hey, free is free, right? And sometimes, when you're bleary-eyed and just trying to get to the beach, the breakfast buffet is a lifesaver. I once witnessed a family of nine demolish the entire waffle supply within the first hour. It was magnificent, and I was thankful for my instant.
What's the vibe like at the Moss Point Getaway? Is it family-friendly, or more...romantic getaway?
Good question! Okay, so the vibe is...practical. It's not exactly a luxury resort, but it’s not a dive either. It's the kind of place where you’re happy to find a clean bed and a working TV. I'd say it’s generally family-friendly, because of the pool and the beach access. You'll see kids running around, probably shrieking with delight, and that's fine.
Romantic? Well, it depends. I once saw a couple there trying to have a romantic weekend but, their kids...were really attached, so maybe not. It's more 'convenient'. I wouldn't plan a proposal there (unless you're really into the whole "beachfront budget" thing). It's more suited for a relaxed trip. Unless you have a specific need, it’s a fantastic option.
What's the best room to book? Are the ocean views *actually* worth it?
Okay, here's the tea. Ocean views? YES. Absolutely. If you can swing it, get the oceanfront room. It's worth the splurge. Trust me. Waking up to THAT view, with the sound of the waves... it's pure bliss. I've spent many mornings just sitting on the balcony, drinking my terrible coffee, and watching the sunrise. I remember one time, I had some awful news about my relationship. But getting that view, that was enough to keep me going.
The other rooms? Fine. They're serviceable. But that ocean view? It's what you're *really* paying for. They're not all perfect; the balconies can be a little close together, but you're not going to care. I once heard someone described as "having too much fun." That's what this ocean view is like.
Are there any hidden fees or unexpected charges I should know about?
The big one? Parking. Yeah, they usually charge for parking. It's a resort fee. Annoying, but most hotels do it now. Just factor that in. Always read the fine print! I learned this the hard way. My first time at the Getaway, I was so excited about the "unbeatable deal" that I completely missed the parking fee fine print. Ended up paying half again on the parking. I still cringe.
The other thing? Mini-bar. Avoid it. Unless you enjoy paying five times the price for a sad little bag of peanuts. The convenience store is a good option to keep your budget in check, and the front desk, if you need something in a hurry.
Any insider tips for making the most of my stay – hacks, basically?
Okay, here's the wisdom I've gleaned from countless stays. First, bring your own snacks and drinks. Convenience store prices are still better than mini-bar prices, and being able to grab something without leaving your room is priceless. Second, download the free Wi-Fi. It's a must. Nobody wants to pay extra for that.
Third, be nice to the staff! They're usually great, and a little kindness goes a long way. They're busy! If you're polite, they might even point you towards some secret deals that aren't advertised. The pool is where the fun's at. And if you're there during the off-season, the beach is pretty much empty – pure bliss. Take advantage of it!
And seriously, book in advance, and be flexible with your dates. That's the *real* secret to those unbeatable deals. Also, bring a good book. Or three.
What about the pool? Is it crowded? Clean? Kid-infested?
The pool? Ah, the pool. The heart of the Moss Point Getaway. It can be a little of everything. Yes, it *can* be crowded, especially during peak season. You'll see kids, you'll hear kids, you'll duck to avoid rogue water balloons. Accept it. This is the way. However, they usually keep it pretty clean. I've never encountered anything utterly horrifying swimming there. And hey, people who complain about the pool, are the same people who complain they have to *walk* to the beach.
Is it kid-infested? Sometimes. But you know what? Even the most seasoned traveler needs to have some fun. Pack your earplugs if you're sensitive to noise, and grab a lounge chair early. The best days are when it's warm, the sun is shining, and you're surrounded by the sounds of pure, unadulterated vacation joy (orEscape to Comfort: Morris, IL's I-80 Oasis Awaits!
