Baymont Inn, Meridian

Room: This was our first time at a Baymont Inn. It got a decent rating in the last Consumer Reports (July 2004) rating of hotel rooms – below Hampton, but well above Sheraton Four Points and some other chains. CR got it right. This room wasn’t quite as nice as a Hampton (the biggest difference was room size), but was nonetheless clean and comfortable.

Lobby: No frills/pretty bare.

Service: Front desk staff was friendly.
