Embassy Suites Jackson-North/Ridgeland
This is our home for tonight. Expedia will lie to you and tell you that you are booking adjoining rooms. A little explanation of the situation, some verbal sympathy as to "what they can do", and I magically got upgraded to a suite for Sweetheart and myself. The staff has been really helpful, and the manager's reception starts very soon...free drinks and Hors d'oeuvres ;-)
Whoever booked this place did a great job! Swimming, and a good meal after the reception, and in the morning a free cooked to order breakfast.
Gotta go - K
UPDATE: It's 7:30pm and we are headed to the pool, then dinner. Our next meet and greet will be at the Caribe, at Orange Beach, on Saturday.
To my blogger friends:
ReplyDeleteDrop in and I'll "buy" you a drink until 7:30pm!

While their business model for their restaurant looks good on paper, it doesn't translate very well with volume. Considering that it took 30-40 minutes for a very simple five item ticket, the time between order and table was WAY too long. But that's just an observation from a 27 year vet of the food service industry. Hopefully, they will redeem themselves with the breakfast service.

ReplyDeleteWe are of the same mind as my Grandparents, rather than spend our money on toys and crap, we spend our money on travel. Our boys will remember a trip to the beach, longer than the newest game for their gameboy.
DeleteThought you might find this link 'interesting', given your MRE-Monday posts. Just FYI, you may already go to the website.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend!

I don't think that I've seen it. I'll have to look at it when I get home.
