Heading that way tomorrow Margaritaville!!! Beach - Casinos - Good Food & Entertainment So excited...will update on our experience read more

I have stayed at South Beach Resort many times over the years, so it is disappointing to say that this will likely be my last visit. This morning, I went downstairs early for breakfast so my wife could sleep in. I arrived about 10 minutes before breakfast opened, so I took a walk along the boardwalk while waiting. Breakfast is only served from 7:00-9:00 a.m., which seems unusually limited for an area known for charter fishing, where many guests are up and on the water early. When breakfast opened at 7:00, I entered the dining area and began preparing my breakfast. An employee then took the food out of my hand because I was not wearing my bracelet. I understand having rules and requiring bracelets, and I have no problem following them. However, the way the situation was handled was unnecessary and embarrassing. As I was returning to my room, the lobby attendant then accused me of taking a red Gatorade. It was actually a Coke that I had brought down from my room. I told the employee that there are cameras throughout the lobby and suggested they review the footage before accusing a guest of stealing. Later, I returned to breakfast with my children, making sure that all of us had our bracelets on. I then noticed approximately 10-12 other guests eating breakfast without bracelets. This was extremely frustrating after the way I had just been treated. My issue is not with enforcing resort policies. My issue is the inconsistent enforcement and the way guests are treated. I have been a loyal guest at South Beach Resort for years, and I have never experienced anything like this. Being treated as though I was attempting to steal food and then being accused of taking a drink that I had brought from my own room was extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, this experience has changed my opinion of the resort. I hope management reviews what happened and addresses the way these situations are handled so other guests do not have a similar experience. read more

We loved our stay here! The rooms were large and spacious. We were able to easily access the pool, beach, boardwalk, and nearby restaurants and shopping. Will definitely be back!! read more

Excellent last stop for SnowBelters seeking Relief from dreary Fall/Winter/Early Spring!! Just what the body needs. With eats onsite and nearby, and seafood close by. read more

Wow! FIVEGOLD STARS! We absolutely loved this place! We made last minute reservations. The pricing was great. It's easy to get to, right on the beach, 5 minutes from the casinos, and so nicely done! The manager was telling us the history of the hotel, which is still owned and operated by it's original developers, and kindly offered us an upgrade to a one bedroom suite with a sleeper sofa and a kitchen, and it overlooked the beach. Awesomeness... all the way around! read more

For my first hotel stay by myself this was the easiest and nicest stay. It was for my birthday little getaway with a few friends. Our hotel room is very clean. There's plenty of amenities like a gym, pool, beach access, private beach bathroom, and breakfast. Breakfast was needed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back to this establishment. Very thankful!!! read more

We were only here for 12 hours and it was during the winter so I hardly saw this place in its best light. All that aside, I really did dig the joint. You could tell a recent renovation had taken place. They were going for a clean modern beachy vibe with a touch of retro charm. The location was great and although it was freezing we made a few trips down to the water, so I can imagine in warmer weather this place gets even better. Since we normally travel with our kids, I've come to appreciate hotels that throw in a free breakfast. Nothing is particularly healthy or earth shatteringly good, but there's usually enough variety that everyone walks away happy and full. Here there were eggs, cheesy eggs, biscuits, sausage, 3 kinds of cereal, a few bread items and a waffle maker. My kids stuffed them selves, got their toes wet and we drove away one big happy family! read more

The room we stayed in at South Beach Biloxi was great. I have no bad things to say about the room. Excellent views of the beach, full kitchen, spacious rooms and a walk around balcony.

South Beach Biloxi - View From The Balcony - Hotels Near Me - Biloxi, Mississippi

Wow. Does this place need some updates!!! Location, location, location, huh??? Well, although it does have a location on the beach which is nice, so does Hyatt Place. The pool is a cement block and doesn't offer much at all for kids or teenagers and the hotel suites are very dated. The suites with a balcony are beautiful and it is a nice feature but you pay very high for it, and you can pay less than half that, if you go down the street at Hyatt or Hilton, and you have better accommodations, less noise, plus reward points too. There is one more plus with this place, is the proximation of the gift shop, Sharkheads, which all three of our teenagers loved. They loved walking to the gift shop and looking around at their leisure, which is a plus for anyone with teens. But, this hotel needs some SERIOUS upgrades. And with $350+ per night, they need to do it! Because I paid $139 per night at Hyatt and the accommodations were much nicer. And it's HYATT. read more

South Beach Biloxi - Our view from the balcony - Hotels Near Me - Biloxi, Mississippi

I stayed at this hotel during Memorial Day weekend for two nights. Specially, room 1710. Overall, it was not bad. The decor in the lobby was pretty and the scent they have in the lobby is very pleasant. The ladies at the front desk were nice and very accommodating. We had a two bedroom suite. The room was very, very spacious. It did have a slight fishy odor upon entering but nothing too overbearing. There were a few issues with the room, such as drainage problems in the restrooms, the toilet running for long time, and the closet door being off the hinge and cracked, but we brought it to the staff's attention and they were prompt about making the repairs. There were also a few stains of the carpet but nothing that would make me question the cleanliness of the room. And, believe me, I throughly inspect my room. The walk around balcony and beach view is what won me over with this room. It was beautiful! We were parallel to The Reef Restaurant & Sky Bar. The bar can be quite noisy at night, which could be a con for some, but it didn't bother me. Overall, I would visit again. It wasn't the best of the best but it wasn't the worst either. read more

South Beach Biloxi - Beach view from one of the bedrooms - Hotels Near Me - Biloxi, Mississippi

Man oh man it's too bad the owner doesn't wake up and hire a new manager unless of course they are one and the same which would explain a lot. THere are so many unfinished things and lack of attention to details that any normal hotel would have. It's too bad they rely on their location instead of using it as a springboard for excellence. The bathroom door slides open all by itself while you are sitting on the toilet. Good thing our room came with a second bathroom for a little privacy. However there's no place for a towel to dry your hands so the towel gets left on the small sink in the way. No place to eat except the very dirty couch from everyone doing the same thing we had to. No kitchen towels so we are using the bath towels to wipe our hands and clean the dishes. Oh by the way, if you're stuck in a room near the elevator don't plan on using the internet as the wifi doesn't work. The front desk staff is friendly but after 3 days of the manager not responding to a written note for a call to ask about some of the troubles we were having we finally gave up and decided to post our review which was totally unnecessary if they had called just to say hi and try this for the time being. Don't expect to work using their internet as it is unavailable. It's really too bad because it's located in a really nice location although if I were running the place I'd probably have my morning staff go out and clean up the beach in front of my hotel to get rid of the trash, the sharp metal objects and make the place way nicer. If you're an employee under this half assed manager/owner I'd suggest it's time to move on because if they don't care for the facility paying their way through life, they certainly can't care enough about the troubled employees taking all the guff. read more

South Beach Biloxi - Waffle House next door. You'll need it because the fridge is broken too - Hotels Near Me - Biloxi, Mississippi

Based on some of the reviews I was skeptical about staying here however it was amazing. The room was immaculate and spacious. It is perfect for those who do extended vacations with children since it offers a fully furnished modern kitchen, pull out couch, and a 1 1/2 bath. The bed was so comfortable that I slept through my 8:30 am alarm. It was nice to wake up to a balcony view of the beach where I sat and drank my morning coffee. My only minor complaint is the water pressure in the shower is a bit low to my preference and their isn't a fitness center only two treadmills in this small room. Other than that it was a great stay. read more

Skip this place. we paid a lot for a balcony overlooking the beach. A group of hotel residents has set up a tent with a massive amplifier under the balconies. TRASH CENTRAL. The little girls at the desk just said they couldn't do anything. And seemed unwilling to try. We stayed here after it first opened and several times since. The room has been allowed to deteriorate. The bathroom door wont stay closed. Lamp is broken. Reported it twice with no response. Generally frayed and dirty. The latch on the patio door is missing. The chair and couch are broken down and ripped. The kitchen is not well furnished. Everything is the bare minimum. i had to argue with housekeeping to get more than 3 washcloths for a 2 bedroom. Did not get them. " She was out of washclothes." Wont be back. read more

South Beach Biloxi Review I stayed here from May 9, 2020 to June 6, 2020. Pros- This hotel is very accommodating to the military. The staff is pleasant and helpful. The hotel is conveniently located on the beach, near many restaurants and bars. The full kitchens are nice. The balconies are nice. The gym is decent if you are into cardio. Cons- The standard of cleanliness is very low. Housekeeping is not existent. They are very inconsistent in how they clean your room. Sometimes they take out the trash sometimes they don't. Sometimes they wash your dishes sometimes they don't. They don't sweep, change the bed linen or mop regularly. Those basic items require a special request. This may be due to COVID-19 quarantine but based on older reviews I doubt it. Also be sure to take your essential belongings with you because my CC went missing and there are no safes in the room. The upholstery furniture and the curtains are dirty and disgusting. The stains are very questionable. Ranging from old spilled food to possible body fluids and vomit. Either way, the couch in the living room and the chair in the bedroom were so dirty I had to cover them with spare sheets just to sit down. The shower curtain in the bathroom had a questionable stain on it as well. The window coverings were just as dirty as the furniture. The rooms are dated and the furniture is beat up throughout the room. The bed is uncomfortable and lumpy. And whatever you do, DO NOT look under the mattress protector. You will be disappointed and severely disturbed. Made this mistake when I decided wash my own sheets because I didn't feel like waiting for housekeeping. read more

I stayed here for a weekend & it's absolutely beautiful. Had a good view of the beach, comfy bed, nice shower, etc. Walking distance from Shaggy's & Waffle House & it leads you right to the beach! I wish i could live here, it's like a complete little condo! Not sure why check in time is 4pm but when I arrived from California around 9am, the guy at the front desk noticed me waiting around for awhile so he ended up letting me into the room earlier, so thanks :) A few cons: - Free wifi but I had to keep logging in every single time for some reason - Continental breakfast could be better & isn't really worth the $5, free coffee 24/7 though - Called & asked for towels but noone came til I asked someone in the hallways - Few stains on the bed sheets too read more

GREAT experience. cute lobby, nice pool, easy access to beach. very nice room, very nice staff. 10/10 recommend staying at the south beach hotel. i had the best summer of my life because of this hotel. my best friend and i had a great time doing what best friends do. it was clean, and all around fantastic. i plan on staying here again. It was a very nice experience. The people there are very nice and there's a smoking floor for all of the smokers. The pool is nice and big. The men in black to go there sometimes so watch out. The ice machine is pretty nice and the furniture in the rooms are GREAT quality. There's a Waffle House in the parking lot and it's very good and the workers are even better. We love the hotel and would definitely go back. 11/10 recommend. read more

Love the location. Our 1 bd suite had a nice westerly view of the beach. Check in staff was friendly. Furniture was getting s little shabby and the cleaning crews attention to detail needs to improve. Easy beach access and lots of parking. Room to walk around and within easy distance of a few good restaurants. A nice boardwalk was under construction which will enhance your beach experience. Biloxi seems like its still half missing but if I were to return, I would stay here again. read more

We really liked this place. Clean, attractive room and awesome ocean views. One parking lot away from a nice beach restaurant and two parking lots from Waffle House for breakfast! Pool is nice too n beach facing. Staff is friendly and Biloxi beach sand is the whitest we've seen. Quiet, relaxing and not over crowded. We liked it. What sucked: hag on the 3rd floor servicing the cafe. No wonder there is hardly anyone eating there. Attitude sucks. Not friendly bordering rude. Hotel would do much better if they changed the cafe menu n person. Also: free wifi connection doesn't work well when too many people online read more

South Beach Biloxi - Early morning - Hotels Near Me - Biloxi, Mississippi

Wow 74.00 what a deal.. staff was really nice room is very big and very clean..!! Would stay here again for sure

Great deal @ $169/night during off season, accomodations are great. One bedroom, with an actual wall around the bedroom, pull out couch, full kitchen with granite countertops in a kitchenette type arrangement, (fridge, four burner stove, microwave, dishes, plates, pots, pans, glasses), 1/2 bath, updated and modern. I didn't find the elevators to be slow but we were off peak. Two elevators for a full hotel might take some time I guess. Parking garage on bottom of facility and right on the beach. It is more like a vacation rental and less like a hotel which is my preferred way of living while away from home anyway. Very pleased. read more

My family booked this hotel through Groupon for a wk long vaca over Spring Brk. It looked great in the pics & the room was. Upon check in we got an upgrade to a partial ocean view. I has a couple of problems w/ the hotel: 1. The parking is annoying esp if you drive a large vehicle. You can park on the 2nd level of the garage if you're lucky & are good @ maneuvering tight turn arounds or the 1st level for just 15 min when you check in. There are luggage movers, when they've been returned, by the elevators. The majority of our week stay we parked in the open lot. 2. If you're doing construction, warn guests or move them ahead of time to rooms away from the noise. It's a ridiculously frustrating thing to be woken up @ 7:30 on vacation by pounding & sawing. I let it go the 1st day but I called the front desk & complained the 2nd. A front desk guy hung up on me as I complained! He called back saying they would move us. We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom w/ ocean view. 3. Around 1 am the smoke detector starts beeping in the master bedroom. The front desk sends 2 guys 30 min later saying they can't find a ladder. They used the empty mini fridge to stand on & unplug it. 4. I found dirty stuff that looked like poop on a towel. I took this to the front desk when we checked out. I wanted to make sure they didn't just patronize me & not believe me like they seem to do a lot. The woman just says gross & took the nasty thing. 5. The couch is extremely uncomfortable. This usually isn't a big deal but my husband had to sleep on it several nights d/t a cough he was getting over. 6. The stocked kitchen was a great thing except the blender made a terrible noise, began smoking & got really hot. I quickly unplugged it. Thankfully it didn't catch on fire! Several things I liked about the hotel: 1. The housekeeping, mechanics, etc i.e. blue collar workers were so nice & helpful. If the office or front desk staff learned a few things from them, this would be an amazing place to stay! 2. We got a great large room w/ an incredible ocean view for a wk for $778 including tax after being upgraded. 3. I loved the oversized bathtub big enough for me to lay down in. 4. The room was updated & modern incl a stack washer/dryer, dishwasher, patio, kitchen w/ dishes, etc. I really liked the Biloxi area. I don't think I would want to stay down around the casinos with a family; too much smoke, crowds etc. I would def come back on vacation & might stay @ South Beach Hotel. read more

While staying at the South Beach Biloxi our paths crossed a few times with staff person Kevin Hamilton. Each time he was very pleasant and when he came to the room to assist with adjusting the TV, he was very professional and thorough. The front desk staff are so nice and accommodating. Heather and Kevin both get 5 stars. read more

This place is an incredible deal. The rooms are huge and there is a separate bedroom with one and a half baths, full size refrigerator, stove, microwave and washer and dryer. Our balcony overlooks the Gulf, with a pool on the beach. This is an incredible deal! It is better than some of the places we have gone through our Timeshare. read more

Wow. All those great reviews, and I have to be the A Hole. Well, okay, I am cool with that. This one is based off our one and only visit. Now that you go tthat, here we go. We arrived right at check in time and were greeted with a LONG line. And everyone in it looked angry. I felt like I should have handed someone my wallet and ran. But I sucked it up and joined them in line. AT LEAST 30 minutes later (I was timing it, but cant remember the exact time, but at a minimum it was 30) we get up to where we are next to be helped. We hear the lady behind the counter tell the guy that he was supposed to check in yesterday. So off he goes to the side. The manager was walking by, but would just do fly-bys, and left the solo lady at the conter to fend for herself. The whole check in process was a huge fiasco, but once we got in, we enjoyed our stay. The rates were great, view from patio was cool, and within walking distance to Shaggys. Just watch that check in process and brace yourself for possible shennanigans. read more

Absolutely loved my stay here. It was my first time in Biloxi and the location of this hotel sold it. Walking distance from (at least) 4 local restaurants, beach front, and a short drive to many casinos. The room was better than I expected. The full kitchen went mostly unused except the giant fridge (with an ice cube maker!!!) The view from the balcony was great for early mornings or nights. We didn't use the bar/cafe/fitness room, tried the pool once but it was too cold. read more

I recently stayed here with my family in the two bedroom and two bathroom suite. I'll start with the positives, the room was fairly large and there was a full size kitchen and living area. The view from the wrap around balcony was amazing! Both bathrooms are really nice, with the master bathroom being decently sized with a great soaking tub, wonderful water pressure as well! Now the negatives, the furniture is in terrible shape. Scratches on all of the dressers. Most things in the hotel are very dated looking. There was literally ONE guy working the entire hotel. He checked us in and he was maintenance man as well. The room came with a washer dryer in one combo. The dryer will lock your clothes in and not allow you to take them out even when it's finished. We had to call the ONE employee three separate times and he couldn't get them out either. We missed our dinner reservation because of this and didn't even receive so much as an apology. We killed two roaches in our bathroom. We had to bring our own luggage to the room because again, there's only ONE employee in the entire hotel! The tv's we're all tiny.. I'm guessing 32 inches or smaller. We got the end of summer rate which was reasonable, but I'd hate to be the person that pays 350$ a night for this place when it's not on special. Definitely not worth it! I can't recommend this hotel. There are better options for cheaper. read more

Great place, great employees enjoyed our stay very much! Can't wait till we come back. The rooms were so comfortable and relaxing especially the balcony! Makes it a lot better too when you can walk to a number of restaurants! read more

Ugh!!!! Nasty!!! Don't think the hallways were ever vacuumed. Nasty clientele. Didn't care how they looked, much less the hotel. Due to COVID, no restaurant and bar (or patio)only on Friday and Saturday. Cannot recommend and would never stay here again! So disappointed as from the street it looks nice and all rooms have a balcony! read more

Very nice place!!! Walk out the back door onto the sand. Great for kids because no casino and no smoking inside.

Absolutely a lovely place to stay. Beautiful rooms, very clean, gorgeous view and very nice staff. I will stay there again! The beach was steps away and a great place to walk and reflect. It was a bit littered with trash and dead fish but still very nice. Close to some great restaurants. read more

Lovely hotel , we enjoyed our stay . We stayed in the Deluxe one Bedroom unit . To me it does not make sense to offer an entire full kitchen complete with bells and whistle's of everything and not offer a place to sit and eat a meal. The room is there to do so just a two seater of some sort. When I asked about it at the front desk I was told the one-bedrooms don't have tables and chairs even though you have a full kitchen it does not make sense to me. ‍ read more

This hotel is GREAT! Accommodations: Perfect! You could ask for anything more. Our rooms were as shown in the pictures online. Everything was clean and nicely appointed with a modern flair. We had a fully functional kitchen complete with all the cooking/dining essentials...you just need to bring food! The bed was comfy with plenty of pillows and ample quality bedding. I even loved the rain shower in the bathroom too! The Staff: Super nice, always friendly and very, very helpful! I cannot tell you how many times my friends and I commented on how nice the staff was. The Bar: Beautiful open air space with an ocean view! Nicely decorated and has plenty of seating for groups to lounge. The bartender is super sweet too! :) The Pool: It's small. But, it's okay. I really wish they had a bigger pool with a hot tub... along with an adult only swim period after dark, like at other hotels. Oh, a pool side bar would be great too. We will definately come back to this hotel! read more

4.5 stars. Got a Groupon for a 2 bedroom condo for $149....I was expecting to be shoved in a corner with a parking lot view at that rate, but no! I was delighted to find that our room directly faced the beach--couldn't see anything but sea and sky from my vantage point on the comfy living room sofa. The kitchen was well stocked, the dining table very comfy. The bathroom was large, with a separate shower and soaking tub. 2 bedroom condos are available with bunk beds if you'd like, which thrilled the 3 year old! The bartender was incredibly friendly and hospitable, the pizza and drinks really good, and the outdoor bar area breathtaking. A few negatives to warn you about, though nitpicky and not enough to take away a whole star, given the incredible value for price paid. --we were here the day after daylight savings and thus, we missed breakfast as the clocks in our room hadn't been changed by housekeeping staff. When we walked down, with a young child, and looked at the dwindling breakfast table we were informed curtly by a very rude staff member that breakfast had ended 20 minutes ago. She made no effort to help us or direct us elsewhere. So, breakfast ends at 9:30. Don't forget it! (This staff member was the only one we had a bad experience with; everyone else from check-in to housekeeping was very welcoming.) --bathroom doors are rolling/latch and VERY hard to latch securely. Depending on who you're staying with, this could lead to some awkward situations. --Despite the lovely decor, the bedding seems like cheap hospital bedding. Very standard sheets and thin blankets (and only 1, to boot--you'll likely need to call for more). --Minor stains on bedding/furniture and bleach stains on carpet....but this is the price you pay for the light, airy, beachy colors that give the space its feel. Not a huge deal to me at all. --soundproofing could be better...our upstairs neighbors were partying until almost 1 AM and we could constantly hear, very loudly, what sounded like furniture being moved. This wasn't awful because by the time we were actually ready to sleep, it stopped, but for those with an earlier bedtime could be a problem... *Tip: only 2 bedroom condos have full, direct, on-the-beach views. Though most rooms have at least a partial ocean view, the rest of your view will be parking lots, restaurants, and highway. Shell out the extra if you can; it's still incredibly affordable and the view is well worth it. read more

Found this hotel by accident. This is an amazing property, and I was dumbfounded by the reasonable rates. Right on the beach, fantastic rooms and views. Every staff member I came in contact with was not just polite, but actually friendly. Can't wait to return. read more

As advertised, the hotel is located on the beach and has floor to ceiling windows which were nice. Checking in took about 30 minutes, we were in a line of about 10 others attempting to check in...not a good start. I have never had that happen before. Upon arrival to the room there was one set of wash towels so I called the front desk, they said they would have the towels in about 1 1/2 hrs. Went to breakfast around 0830, signs state that it ends at 0930, biscuits and gravy were cold and uncovered, even after I observed the staff member responsible for breakfast "check" on the area. A beverage was spilled on the floor and this same staff member wiped the floor and with the same towel, cleaned the table off, yuck! As previously posted, the furniture and carpet had stains...not really what I expected. I can tell that it was beautiful at one time, however they have not maintained the facility. I will not be staying here again. read more

READ THE ENTIRE REVIEW... This place is a condo that didn't make it and is being turned out as a hotel. We stayed over the 2011 Halloween weekend. The facility itself and the westward and southward views are beautiful. The rates were a bargain. The rooms are clean spacious appartments with full kitchens. But, be sure to bring extra light bulbs. There's no communication between the maintenance staff and housekeeping. We had three light bulbs out... two lamps and an overhead in the bath. The beach is pretty. But on close inspection, the sand is full of trash and LOTS of broken glass. If you go to the beach in Biloxi, be sure to wear shoes! The staff is TERRIBLE! The owner needs to remove all of the staff and start over with deep BACKGROUND CHECKS and DRUG SCREENS on all hires. Here's the rant... The restaurant proudly displays a "B" rating from the health department! In any book, that's a failure. We couldn't believe the management didn't make corrections and get a new inspection immediately. DUH! The hotel manager needs to go. One evening my wife and I were two of the four people in all of the spacious bar and adjoining restaurant. There were two chefs and a bartender on duty. Our food order got lost! When we reminded the bartender a half hour later, it took another 25 minutes for our order to appear. Food in the bar is served in styrofoam take-out boxes with no utensils! We had to ask for utensils and napkins. The bartender we had never shut up! It's like she's on speed and had to comment on everything. Her only redeeming quality was that she cautioned us that the staff was dishonest. She told us she'd had items stolen from her purse while she was on duty. She needs to go. We soon found out that the help has a workaround for the fact that the facility is non-smoking. We saw a chef retreat to the balcony at the corner of the bar and puff away. On another evening we went to the bar and were the only patrons. Both the bartender and her trainee LEFT US ALONE in the bar to go on break at the same time!! My guess is they were smoking more than cigarettes. and...So much for southern hospitality... The bar help doesn't know to serve ladies first. Go figure! All of the restaurant and bar help need to go. There's a sign on the restaurant side of the door that separates the restaurant from the bar. The sign says the door is to be kept closed at all times. There's a pass-through window for food orders. The pass-through is blocked by a cooler on the bar side and the staff is constantly using the door. Maybe this is the cause of the "B" rating? Staff congregates around the coffee and breakfast buffet in the morning; chatting loudly, shouting in the kitchen, and boldly getting in the way of guests. It looked like shift change and everyone was hanging out waiting on fresh coffee. (They need their own break room!) This is HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE. The front desk manager asked inappropriate questions about our travel plans... where were we going?... when were we going home? We were afraid we would come home to find our house ransacked. One morning the front desk was completely unattended between 7:30am and 8am... UNBELIEVABLE! ... On the day we went to check out, the desk person was asleep in the adjacent office. The front desk help all needs to go. None of the staff is appropriately uniformed. The maintenance staff should all be wearing long pants and uniform shirts that are clearly marked with their names and staff positions. Likewise, they need uniform jackets for cold weather. Again, clearly marked. This same concept needs to apply to the restaurant, bar, food, and housekeeping services. All help should have uniforms and identification badges clearly visible!! We like the place, but the staff is a HORROR show! We hope to see their web page have a banner announcing all new staff before we travel to Biloxi again. UNTIL THEN... STAY AWAY!!! read more
