Hotels Near ALDI in Olive Branch

First, I drive a box truck. They were not showing truck parking on the website. I called, and Misha looked, and assured me I could fit the truck. She was courteous, and helpful when asked. I have called other places, that behaved like I was wasting their time calling, but she was stellar. Next there was the cheerful help Kaylnn provided, when I thought the refrigerator wasn't working. Turns out the refrigerator was on low, and was so quiet, you couldn't hear it running. The owner made special arrangements for me when I needed to stay another night. All the king nonsmoking rooms were already booked for the night, but he found a way to let me stay in room I was in. The room was clean and comfortable and bathroom looked fantastic. She in the area, I would certainly stay here again. Last note - the staff are wonderful, and to me, that's a very high point on the review.

Clean and tidy, good surroundings

This was the third stay at this hotel in a year where I had the same experience of having to unload a week's travel luggage for my wife and I from my car with no luggage carts available from the hotel. This hotel with over 170 rooms only has a total of 3 luggage carts and they are never available as the lucky few who snag one keeps it in their room so they will have one when they go to check out. The local workers are embarrassed about it and one of the front desk workers kindly volunteered to help my wife and I unload the car by hand and carry each piece to the elevator and room. I don't see this issue as just a local problem, it is a HILTON problem that they won't address, and it is ruining their reputation. I just cancelled out all of my current reservations at the Hilton Garden Inn and it will be many moons before I ever book at one again. I wanted to upload a picture of one of their luggage carts but I never saw one the whole time I was there.

I usually don’t write reviews, but this experience was so terrible that I felt compelled to share. My family and I stayed at the Best Western Plus Desoto in Olive Branch, Mississippi, for our family reunion, which had been booked months in advance. Despite this, the hotel was poorly staffed and completely unprepared to handle guests. Our room had bugs and spiders, and when we requested the room be sprayed, we were told housekeeping leaves at 2 PM, and nothing was done. Basic supplies like toilet tissue weren’t replenished, forcing us to repeatedly go to the front desk. Housekeeping didn’t clean the room; they just dropped off a single towel, and by the second night, they had run out of clean towels altogether. This wasn’t just an issue with the employees—it’s clearly a management problem. The front desk was often unattended, leaving guests frustrated, and the hotel was clearly overwhelmed despite knowing it was fully booked for an event. The entire hotel seemed poorly managed, from wobbly lobby chairs to the lack of clean rooms and supplies. I’ve never stayed in a hotel this disorganized, and I definitely won’t be back. The fact that the hotel was booked months in advance for a family reunion yet was so unprepared is absolutely ridiculous.

Worst hotel experience ever and I’m still dealing with it. Steven, the night manager, is a liar. The elevator is broken and has been for some time now and I was told it will be for awhile. They put us on the 3rd floor. We decided it was fine and would deal with lugging all our luggage up three flights of stairs as a family of 5. The hallway outside our room was 88 degrees per the thermostat on the wall. Again, we would deal with that since it wasn’t our room. We drop our luggage and go eat. When we get back it’s after 9:00 and getting ready for bed. We notice the A/C in the room is not getting any cooler. Our floor is sticky. Even the carpet is sticky. I go down to the front desk and talk to Steven. He was apologetic and another worker told us they’d move us to a room down the hall and wanted us to go check to make sure the A/C was working. 🚩 red flag. I ask if there was the same amount of beds and I was told yes. My husband goes down to check and there were not enough beds. So I go back down to the front desk and tell them. Steven looked very surprised by this. He then says he can move us to the first floor. I ask if there’s the same amount of beds. He tells me no. They don’t have any more suites available. I send a text to my husband and he says no he doesn’t want to lug all the luggage and kids down and still have to squeeze into the beds. I tell Steven that my husband said no he didn’t want to move. Steven then tells me he’s giving us 3,000 points and he got the price down to $75. I said okay. Never did I say we were leaving the hotel or wanted to check out. At 7:30 the following morning we were awoken by someone trying to come in our room. The door opened and hit the lock bar. Scared all of us. My husband goes out to see what it’s about and a man is standing there saying he was told we were checked out and he needed to fix the A/C. This was news to me because me and Steven never had that conversation. 30 minutes later, the same guy and a front desk clerk both come up and told my husband we were checked out. So after getting all the kids up and around we load up in the car and I go to check out. Cherita at the front desk was extremely rude and said she had called Steven at home and woke him up and he told her we were checked out and now to charge us the full price of the room. I said no, he said it would be $75. She was very rude so I asked for her name. She grabbed her name tag and basically pushed it in my face. I grabbed the business card for the district manager. I called and left a message for Katrina the DM. Two days later Katrina calls me and apologizes and says that’s not the way she does things. She asked for my email and said if I gave her a couple days she would send me a receipt for $0.00 balance. I thought okay. That’s great. We get home from vacation and check our credit card statement. We have been charged the full price of the room. I call the hotel and Steven answers. I explain to him w
