The Roost Ocean Springs

The Roost was a delightful and restful place to stay. As advertised, it is within walking distance of both downtown and Front Beach. Beds were comfortable, staff was cordial, and I loved the architecture. A special treat was the chic heated pool. One word of advice: there is no elevator to the second floor, so if you have heavy luggage or issues with stairs, you may want to book a room on the first floor.

The Roost Hotel provides a luxurious and comfortable stay, perfectly situated close to downtown shopping and restaurants. We were there for four nights. The large rooms are beautifully designed, featuring spacious balconies that offer stunning views overlooking Porter. The beds are exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The huge bathrooms add to the sense of luxury, providing ample space and modern amenities. The hotel staff are notably friendly and attentive, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. Cleanliness is a priority at The Roost, with every area meticulously maintained. Overall, The Roost Hotel is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a high-quality, comfortable stay with convenient access to downtown attractions.

This is a lovely place to stay in Ocean Springs. Quiet location and nice pool and grounds. The room was large and had a refrigerator. Very nice spacious bathroom and shower. Enjoyed sitting on front porch in the evening. Walkable to restaurants and shops.

Our second time at this property. It is a beautiful and peaceful boutique hotel. The service is wonderfully friendly. The rooms are very clean and beautifully decorated. We LOVE the pool. It is small , peaceful and beautiful. They have amazing drinks from the bar. We brought our children this time and they loved it as well.

This is a charming little boutique hotel. The property is just gorgeous and although there are little creeks when walking on the hardwood floors, it really is a joy to be in such a quaint little hotel. The outside grounds are so inviting and comfortable. There's little nooks and crannies you can indulge yourself in. I literally sat by the heated pool, looked up at the beautiful trees and felt like I was in heaven. Minutes away from downtown Ocean Springs MS.and the best restaurants and bars, this location can't be beat. It is also just a short drive to the casinos in Biloxi & a short walk to the Gulf Coast beach. Looking to escape from the hustle & bustle of the everyday life that can clutter your mind? Choose this hotel & relax your mind, spirit and body. I want to personally thank the entire staff including owner Joe, and Cheryl at the front desk. You guys rock. My wife & I truly enjoyed our short stay and would love to come back for a longer visit someday.

Excellent experience at The Roost. Lovely reception at check in and informative escort around the property. Perfect location. We stayed in the "older" part and it was still excellent. A glass of "welcome" beverage was much appreciated upon arrival. Would definitely go back.

The ambience is great, the staff welcoming, the decor refreshing, the bedding comfortable, the shower amazing. Very well maintained and beautiful. Nice pool area and grounds. Good areas to meet with family. Check in was good. Liked that we could walk to the beach or downtown.

I stayed downstairs in a suite very roomy nicely appointed. We have stayed the many times and it never disappoints . It is within walking distance to downtown. The Wilbur Bar is alway fun and the staff is very nice ,Don’t miss it , better book early , they book up early certain times of the year. We always look forward to the next visit

My friend and I stayed here for a fun over-nighter in Ocean Springs. But, the room was no fun. A suite is a room with more space and furniture than a standard room, with only beds. Suites include a living/sitting area, typically with a comfortable upholstered chair or sofa, and a writing desk or small work/dining table. The Sandpiper has two (okay, they were comfortable) beds, two small, uncomfortable studio chairs (not really for sitting), a painted bamboo nightstand, and a TV. The shower was beautiful, but the door would not completely shut. Kitchenette ? Hardly. It’s an alcove with an empty mini fridge, a coffee maker., and a packet of coffee. The sink is in the bathroom, and the microwave sits on the sticky floor of the bedroom closet. Private patio ? No. There is a landing/stoop, with two small chairs you’d never sit in, because the (not weatherproof, vintage cushions) are literally covered in visible mold. Which brings me to the most unfortunate experience of our stay in the Sandpiper “suite”. Mold. Mildew. The stench was overwhelming as soon as we opened the door. Mold colonies were visible on the air conditioning registers. The entire room felt clammy. Our eyes burned, and we both wheezed and coughed throughout the entire night. By sunrise, we had terrible headaches that wasted our plans for the day. No exaggeration. We left as soon as the office opened. We had to wait for the office to open, because we wanted to tell them that the toilet paper holder was pulling away from the wall, the shower door would not shut — and, of course, about the mold problem in the non-suite. The fellow at the desk on departure didn’t offer anything to convey he regretted guest dissatisfaction. So, we won’t be suggesting a stay for the film crew. We are from the deep South , and we know humidity. We’ve never experienced this level of funk, outside of childhood camp. I have no idea what the air quality of other suites may be. Given the photos, the other rooms do appear more suite-like, as far as living space is concerned. We’ll never know. PS — we didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy the lovely pool/garden area, because we weren’t told how to (and couldn’t figure out how to) access it! The office was closed, so we couldn’t ask,
