The Best Hotels to Book in Meridian, Mississippi

A shot off Route 39 by the I-20 intersection, Hilton Garden Inn Meridian, is tapped into the area’s main traffic arteries. The hotel is also less than a mile (1.6km) from the forest-blanketed Bonita Lakes Park and has opportunities for fishing and hiking along its lake loop trail. Utilize the indoor pool, whirlpool, and fitness center before heading to nearby Central Meridian to visit attractions like the Mississippi Arts & Entertainment Experience or Jimmie Rodgers Museum.

Shopaholics will love SureStay Hotel by Best Western Meridian. It enables the addiction with its location near the Uptown Meridian mall, and families can enjoy bonding over history at downtown sites like the Mississippi Children’s Museum and Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum. Start the day with complimentary hot breakfast items like eggs, sausage biscuits, and waffles in the bright breakfast bar, or sip your coffee under the outdoor gazebo. Enquire about the king room with jetted bathtub for a more relaxing stay.

Cool off during a hot Mississippi stay by taking advantage of the convenient location of the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Meridian and the proximity to the Bonita Lakes Park. Or, chill out with a dip in the large indoor pool and whirlpool, which get great natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights. Mornings begin with a complimentary hot breakfast, and every Monday, there is an IHG Rewards Reception for loyalty program members. The hotel is within minutes of the Naval Air Station, Lockheed Martin and Peavey Electronics.

Start your day in Meridian off right with a healthy breakfast, complimentary during your stay at Fairfield Inn & Suites Meridian. Choose from options like fresh fruit, omelets and yogurt topped with sliced almonds and agave, or indulge with bacon, mini-waffles and sweetbreads. Work it off at the indoor pool or fitness center before embarking on a discovery of the historic Queen City downtown, just a few miles away.

Rooms feel like home at Sleep Inn & Suites thanks to features such as queen or king-size beds, work desks with ergonomic chairs, refrigerators, microwaves and ironing boards.

The property is in a prime location off I-20 and I-49 near Bonita Lakes Park.

If you’re an architecture nerd, you’ll need more than just a day in Meridian, and MainStay Suites’ apartment-style living sets you up for an extended stay. Whip up a gourmet meal in your kitchen or kitchenette, or settle into your sitting area and crack open the coffee table tome you bought about the haunted city sites of Meridian (will you meet the phantom which haunts Stuckey’s Bridge?) This property shares a lobby and other facilities with Sleep Inn & Suites.

A colorful mural of Meridian and a pool table off the lobby set the stage for a convivial stay at Tru By Hilton Meridian, an easy walk from Bonita Lakes Park. Trees surround two sides of the hotel, so some rooms offer a woodsy view, and all rooms have lots of natural light from oversize 8ft (2.4m) windows. wifi, parking and hot breakfast are on the house, and the grab-and-go market is open at all hours.

A dip in the outdoor pool at Comfort Inn is perfect when the temperatures rise in Meridian. When it’s chillier, you can get comfy on a cherry-red chair off the lobby while enjoying hot coffee with your complimentary continental breakfast. The hotel has a new look complemented by its high customer rating for service and, like its neighbor Tru by Hilton, this property has some rooms offering a rustic vista and two-person sofa beds.
