WISTERIA BED AND BREAKFAST…read more On a recent trip to Laurel, MS, I was privileged to stay at the Wisteria Bed and Breakfast. The home was built in 1901 and converted into a Bed and Breakfast in 2004. As of this writing, the Wisteria is the only Bed and Breakfast in Laurel and is on the National Register of Historic Places. I can honestly say that I haven't seen many purple houses in my day, but it perfectly fits the personality of the Wisteria. Each room is chocked full of period furniture and decor. From the knickknacks to the rugs, each piece feels like it fits this home. Peggy, our hostess, did an excellent job of decorating this historic home. Transplanted from Georgia, Peggy's southern drawl dripped with hospitality. We sat and visited with Peggy for quite a while and I found her voice to be so soothing. If you're not careful, you might find yourself saying "ya'll" like a true southerner after visiting with Peggy! As for accommodations, there are only three rooms available so reservations are definitely needed. Our room was upstairs and had a private bathroom just outside our door. We had central air but also had a window unit if more air was needed. One piece not historically period, was a television. We never turned it on, but some people want the amenity so I'm including it in the detail. Breakfast is included each morning in the formal dining room or sunroom, depending on the number of guests. A southern, home cooked breakfast is offered along with coffee and juice. You'll know it's time for breakfast when the smell of bacon wafts up the stairway. We were in the south, so it goes without saying that grits were on the menu! The breakfast presentation was as beautiful as it was delicious. The Wisteria is within a short walking distance of downtown and in a neighborhood of other stately homes. You might want to just stroll the neighborhood but beware of the uneven sidewalks! Those beautiful trees that provide a canopy of the neighborhood comes at a price! Downtown Laurel has several shops and restaurants to discover and within walking distance so you might not even need a car! After your tour of Laurel, you might want to just sit out on the veranda of the Wisteria and listen to the birds chirp and smell the magnolia tree blossoms. It's a great place for rest and refeshment.

Needs some TLC. The owner was so sweet and the interior of the house is lovely. Breakfast served at…read more8:30 was good but not amazing. The exterior needs lots of attention. Cobwebs, dirty furniture & pillows, clutter - the veranda would be a lovely place to relax if it were cleaned up. The pics online were obviously not taken recently. The location can't be beat - across the street from the Lauren Rogers Museum (which is fantastic) and walking distance to downtown. We stayed 3 nights (which we were charged for immediately upon arrival) and had to ask for more towels. No service was offered for our room - trash collection, bed service, towels, etc. At $170/night I was a bit disappointed.

Parking was easy. Admission was reasonable. This place was super cute! And by the time I was ready to leave a few hours after arrival, a good amount of people had shown up. Everything was decorated beautifully. Well worth the drive and admission price.

You do not pay online, you pay in person once you arrive for the tour. You meet on a corner in the downtown area of Laurel. The golf cart we rode sat 7 people plus the tour guide. We loaded up on the golf cart and off we went. We stopped at many spots including Scotsman General Store to see the items for sale and into the shop where lots of the Home Town show is filmed. The tour guide assisted with taking photos of my mom and I infront of the iconic blue Scotsman pickup truck. We drove over to the Laurel Mercantile for a quick visit. We got our photo taken infront of the outside wall of the store where another blue pickup truck is located. We drove around the streets lined with older homes that were revamped in the Home Town show. This was my favorite part hearing about the homes and work that went into them. We even got to see a few homes under construction that Erin and Ben are working on for upcoming shows. The tour lasted about an hour and we were dropped off back at the same city corner. This gives you a good incite of the town and a starting point for your further adventures while visiting.

Liberty Inn was just an "eh" for me. Not bad for a quick night, especially with limited options in…read morethe area. But for my senses, the rooms allowed a lot of noise to filter in compared to the other outdoor-facing motels this vacation. Trucks were driving 49 late into the night and early in the morning, and I heard every engine. Inside the room? Decently nice, except the TV never actually powers down unless you unplug it. It just flashes NO SIGNAL continuously. Bothersome. The shower wasn't as bad as some but certainly a bit underpowered, and while the hot water felt hot right away, any tiny drop of cold water turned the whole stream cold. That finally balanced out after a few minutes, but the knobs are very sensitive when it comes to temperature changes. Oh, and they turn in opposite directions! I won't say "don't stay here". Nice family runs it, maintains clean quality, good value. I'll just say "you get what you pay for."

I've been gyming here for nearly 4 years now, and I've seen constant improvements. I'm assuming in the next 4 it will be called planet fitness instead. Gotta few tanning beds if you tired of looking like marshmellows, if you can't tone it, tan it. The free weights are really nice, they fit in your palm in a way that is very comfortable. As a normal gym it gets pretty crowded around 5:30-6. They also don't care if you come in there after your pre-gym cigarette, won't say a thang! Seems to be a good group of workers there, and the owner is a purty nice guy. In ending my review I can say this place has changed my life. I used to have dominos on speed dial, 5:01, right after work I was calling in for pizza. Now at 5:01, I'm lacing up my brooks and heading to 24/7 to get fit. My fiancé left me after I hit the 500 pound mark, and now that I'm down to a strapping 218, I got females flocking left, right, back and center. Thanks 24/7 for getting me all deez baddies!
