I'm honestly surprised this doesn't happen more often at this location. Every time I drive by it looks sketchier and sketchier.
Was this once the Past Port?
The critical guy is going to wind up being what, #106 for the year? Jackson is lost.
When it opened in the 1970s it was known as the Passport Inn and was a classy place to lay your head. Now I hear it's the place where streetside "salesmen" and those who don't have a lot of money go to stay. The "Best Value" means a place to stay the night (or an hour if that's all you have to pay the "saleslady." They also proudly advertise their jacuzzi suites. Just another classy turned classless location in the Bold New City (of crime).
" the second later arrived by private vehicle "
I always get a kick out these private vehicles transporting Jackson's daily wounded to a hospital.
( Who needs an ambulance when there's plenty of room in the back seat of a Crown Vic).
It's just a perception of class.
Did one of them try to stiff a 'working girl'?
Why are there so many sketchy hotels along that stretch of frontage road. Everyone of them south of Target look sketchy.
used to know a girl who frequented Katmandoo's. She'd get a guy to rent a room and give her the key after. She's make good use of it the rest of the night. She should have charged by the hour.
This place needs to be razed!
I smell crime when I drive by that place.
Don't forget the honeymoon suites that they advertise. The place is definitely one to avoid. Probably makes a Red Roof Inn feel like a Four Seasons.
Getting your gun there today is not the same as in years past.
3:56, I usually get my rocks off at Reunion or close to the wild wives at JA...no need to rent a room when these old gals light some fires At their houses . Best lays I’ve ever had . Bet this won’t get posted!
That's why they call these cities with Democratic mayors 'Red cities'. There's so much blood from killings.
All this Jackson hate, yet this is Sam's Lounge, where the finest in suburban Jackson's hipsters and bartenders hang out after hours.
I couldn't find anything about this particular "Ho-tel" on tripadvisor.
But I will keep searching for customer reviews.
"Best Value" is actually code for 'Owned by Mr. Patel'. I'll check back mid morning to see if the 'critical guy' has succumbed.
Getting a ride to the hospital in a car after being shot is a good financial decision. An ambulance ride is $1600.
" the second later arrived by private vehicle', I always get a kick out these private vehicles transporting Jackson's daily wounded to a hospital". I think that every time I see a group blowing lights and stop signs with the four way emergency flashers going. Local IP Emergency Vehicle.
Easy on the bar. It is not owned or operated by the hotel. And the hotel trash stays the hell out. There’s never been a major incident at the bar, however that the hotel and back parking lot are no man’s land.
10:04 is right. If you need a place to stay along I-55, if your choice comes down to the Best Value (former Passport) or the Oyo near Northside (once a Sheraton), make sure your room is near the front. The back sides of these properties makes it clear that the ownership isn't interested in cleanliness...

Nope.
If one needs a place to stay along I-55, don't stop in the Jackson area.
If going Northbound, Grenada is the the first decent stop.
If going Southbound, Brookhaven is a relatively safe town for I-55 motels.
