We we talking to our friends that had the close-up & personal experience with the bed bugs last year & they tipped us off to these;

I use Wyndham as much as possible. Wide variety of chains and costs. Haven't had a bad one yet. Plus the points come in handy for free rooms.

2010 and 2012 PT we had ok rooms. No bad experiences.
In fact only one hotel in the St. Louis area had no PT people staying there.

After PT 2009 & 2010 staying in cheap motels I had enough of dirty beds, smelly rooms and grimy showers....... All I stay in now is HIE, great rooms that are clean and don't smell, really good beds, clean bathrooms and of course, a great breakfast is included! Talk about points, I have stayed 6 nights free the last 4 years....

Just saw they changed MS, glad lot is staying at the original location. Sounds like a party at night afterwards as usual.

~Staying put in Biloxi...Gonna spend some time cruising the coast that evening

[smalblock]

Anyone staying at Palace Casino in Biloxi? Curious if anyone has stayed there and what kind of place it is? Being it is not a chain, I'd like to get some feedback from anyone who has stayed there. Thx in advance!

We have friends that stay there during Cruisin' the Coast that like it. I think it has covered parking,

We used to do that too. But we got tired of sleeping on sheets that looked like someone had used for the old "Rent-by-the-hour-rental. And the room with the frat party going on right outside the door. Then there was the room that smelled like camel dung. And considering the managers nationality the joke became that he quickly removed the camel from the room while we were checking in. We still talk about that one.

Remember the room with the pile of dog terds at the end of the sofa. We do!! It's funny now. It wasn't then. And on & on & on. Yes, you can demand a different room, if they have one left. If not, then you wasted the time to make the reservation & are down the road looking for something else. Or you are dealing with a minimum wage night manager with a preloaded crappy attitude because they came to work expecting an easy night. And then there was the night that some friends of ours were bit (all over) by bed bugs in their sheets. That was a 7-10 day recovery for them. So we decided that we would just try to make reservations to stay at places that we were familiar with. Or use HIE. That way we get a decent breakfast & points that do not expire. But hey, that's just us.

We sleep cheap considering you are in the room for 8 hours or less.

Madison WI: Americas Best Value Inn-Mayflower 2 nights $136.24

St Louis: Americas Best Value Inn Fairview Heights/St. Louis East $76.83

Champaign IL: Motel 6 $46.79

Birmingham AL: Days Inn Galleria-Birmingham $75.65

Memphis TN: Motel 6 $$44.09

Gulfport: Americas Best Value Inn-Gulfport $56.17

Baton Rouge LA: Supreme Inn & Suites - Gonzales $69+tax

Total $504+
Not counting 2 nights on the way to WI and 1+? nights going home.

We tend to eat well to make up the difference.

My wife does the reservations and does not come on the tour. She was a expo/meeting planner for a fortune 5 company in a past life(retired)
