Baymont by Wyndham Jackson/Ridgeland
It was a good stay however the room certainly was not very clean. Found a bottle cap on the floor along with a pair of sunglasses. There was a footprint on the wall, looked as if something had been killed with a shoe. One of the clean washcloths actually still had a hair stuck in it...EWWWW
