Americas Best Value Inn And Suites Clinton Jackson

Clinton

First I had to dodge the pot holes to get to the place. Second I had to ring the bell numerous times before someone came to the front desk. Third after taking my luggage upstairs to the second floor, I found the room was still occupied and it had a cat living there. I had to go back downstairs and ring the bell twice to be give a room on the third floor.The elevator is small and the floors smelled of Lysol over cigarette smoke. The room however was clean and the air worked great. It had two televisions but one wasn't connected. The phones didn't work so I had to go back downstairs to tell them about the television. No one at the front desk when I left. Thankfully it was only an overnight stay.

Okay if you're just going to sleep.

So, two importantish things if they matter, since no site I've seen has updates about them: no open pool and no free breakfast. Both areas exist, but the person at the front desk confirmed for me because I inquired about both that neither are available to guests at this time.
This is my second visit to Clinton and my second stay at this hotel. My first stay was fine. For the cheap stay it was relatively unproblematic with a musty smell but a clean suite style situation enough to sleep and stay the night.
That was only a few months ago.
This stay was atrocious.
My first room was unassuming, looked like I remembered and bed made, except there was used toiletries and trash and a backpack in the closet?? There was also no microwave.
I had a call to make, but right after that, I called the front desk and they said they would change my room and did.
The new room had three lights not working. The microwave made weird beeping noises randomly and the toilet ran constantly. Speaking of the toilet, guess what randomly I woke up to the smell of literal crap and a flood from? Now, it was not like a huge huge flood, but toilet water spilled from the bathroom and into the area in front of the bathroom. I woke up to a huge puddle and didn't know what to do, so I called it in. The woman who answered said she would bring a plunger and hung up before I could tell her a mop was necessary. When she got to my room, she handed me the plunger while I was standing in my pajamas and then suggested I put a towel down to clean it up. I looked at her, she didn't have a mask on, but with my mask on I gave her my best "really?" face and I proceeded to tell her I jumped over the puddle to get the door as is and I was in flip flops because I just woke up, so I was not going to obstacle course my way into the flooded bathroom to get a towel to clean the said flooded bathroom that flooded when I was asleep. She gave me a look before suggesting she could call her husband to fix it.
The man who came next (not confirmed to be her husband) proceeded to frustratedly inform me I caused the water which leaked in his apartment two stories below (which- I told him I was upset as he was and I woke up to it to which I think I gained some little bit of empathy) and he grumbled in some other language for a good 5-10 minutes while he vaccumed (yes, vaccumed) the water up and then mopped before leaving a machine from the hallway (dehumidifier?) in my room.
I was not compensated in any way for this trouble or offered a new room, not that it would have helped at this point, and a room is a room when it is rainy and humid outside and no less expensive hotel has any rating somewhat comparable, not that this one is the best.
I may have gotten extremely unlucky, and I wanted to be and thought I was being gracious and should be as this location was a self described mom and pop despite having a name many other hotels have and self described staff issues, but the treatment I experienced was unacceptable and the room conditions in both rooms was unacceptable as well. Unprofessional by every measure.
There was even a laundry cart abandoned in the elevator at one point in the late afternoon one day and it took up at least half the room in the small elevator.
I was going to extend my stay, but I ended up wanting out a day early and only remained because I was exploring my options and could not get refunded, so I am going to try elsewhere and implore you to spend the extra money to stay somewhere nicer. I know I likely will.
The musty smell was predominant and the walls were thin like last time, which are things you should expect should you decide to stay. The room quality is also going to range from acceptable to straight up neglected or unpredictable despite seeming okay.
Overall a shot in the dark, so I would not recommend you risk it.
I would say solid 3 stars if this was like Nov 21 but as of this Feb 22, heck no, 1 star seems too high.
I will leave as many pics below as I can.
For the flooded floor, I avoided sending anything with the flushable cloths that came back up or the waste bits, but the vaccum and mop are visible. I had a small window to take a picture, so apologies if that one is blurry.
If videos were available, I could do the one I took of the toilet and microwave when they were sounding of

Unacceptable Unprofessional Unhygenic Conditions

My husband and I stayed overnight on our way to visit relatives in Texas. The carpet is old, dirty and needs immediate replacement. The toilet seat was up and had dried urine on the seat once lowered. Gross! 
The coffee pot and ice bucket were not in the room. We had to retrieve each from the front desk clerk. He was not very friendly about it but probably because he seemed to be the only employee there.  I’m sure he was “over it.”
The vending machines were out of order and breakfast was not offered as advertised. The pool was closed but that wasn’t an issue with us. 
On the plus side; the bed was comfortable and the television worked well. The shower had nice hot water. 
They accept dogs which was the only reason we booked a room there. 
Do yourself a favor and go a short distance away to Pearl, MS and stay at the La Quinta. It was $5 cheaper and we were much more satisfied.

Old And Tired

It was a pleasant experience, and the owners and employees were very accommodating.  I highly recommend them.  It was spacious and a very nice place for my temporary location.  If I had a request, they were right on it.

I evacuated from Hurricane Ida and found myself here.

We chose this hotel because it was the only one listed as pet friendly in Clinton and we were traveling with our German Shepherd dog.  Staff was friendly and welcoming, rooms were roomy with small fridge and microwave.  There were side exits which made it easy to take our pup out to walk and potty without going through the lobby every time.  The room was comfortable and good for the price. The only negatives were the bed and pillows could have been a bit more comfortable, the toilet was very noisy in the middle of the night and there seemed to always be dirty towels and garbage outside room doors.

Pet friendly, pleasant stay

We chose this hotel because it was the only one listed in Clinton that welcomes pets and we were traveling with our German Shepherd Dog.  The stay was pleasant for us and our pup.  The pet fee was only $15 per night.

Pet friendly, nice stay

The reviews show high ratings but I completely disagree.  The headboard had hand and face prints on them from previous tenants.  The shower had a hair that was not ours as well as soap on the wall that was not ours either.  The soap dispenser was empty.  There were spots on the sheets.  I will NOT return.

Dirty Room

We traveled with our Daughter's Tea Cup Yorkie to Florida and stayed at this Inn in Clinton, MS.  They gave us a ground floor room close to the exits that made it convenient for walking the dog. The room was spacious with 2 queen beds and a hide-a-bed sofa in a separate area. Hot breakfast was OK.

A Pet Friendly Stop

This hotel surprised us with its friendliness and cleanliness. Breakfast was amazing and beds were very very very comfy. 10/10 recommended and the Apple bees had great drink specials that is walking distance.

Great hotel

The hotel keeper does not understand the hospitality industry. They may survive another few months, but don’t stay there. We had a room with a leak from the ceiling. He makes a lot of excuses as to why things are the way they are and can’t be fixed. It is a nice location that backs up to the woods, but you can do better than this!
