Days Inn by Wyndham Ocean Springs
7305 Washington Ave, Ocean Springs, MS 39564
This is a no-frills stop off I-10 Exit 50, built for travelers who need a clean room and an early start, not a resort weekend. Free continental breakfast and coffee get you moving before a day of casino-hopping or beach time a few minutes south, and the outdoor pool is a decent way to cool off after a long drive in. Rooms come with a microwave and mini-fridge for leftover po'boys, and the place is pet-friendly for road-trippers traveling with a dog.
Getting There
Take I-10 to Exit 50 and you're on Washington Avenue in under a minute — this Days Inn sits right along that stretch, a straight shot off the interstate for anyone driving over from Mobile or up from New Orleans. It's a practical base more than a destination in itself: figure roughly 20 minutes and about 10 miles west on I-10 to reach the Beau Rivage and the rest of the Biloxi casino strip, and a shorter run south down Washington Ave to the sand at Front Beach, maybe 5 minutes if traffic on 609 is behaving. Good for road-trippers who just need a bed near the highway.
Rooms & Amenities
Rooms are basic 2-star motel style — expect a microwave and mini-fridge in every room, which matters if you're stocking up on boiled peanuts and cold drinks for the drive home, plus free WiFi that's fine for checking email, though streaming isn't guaranteed. The continental breakfast is included and gets you coffee, pastries, and cereal before you're back on the road; don't plan on it carrying you to lunch. Outside there's a modest outdoor pool for cooling off between casino runs, free parking right at your door (no valet, no garage), and an on-site laundry room that's handy if you're mid-road-trip and running low on clean clothes. Bringing the dog? This is one of the few budget spots on this stretch that takes pets without a fuss.
What's Nearby
You won't have to go far for basics — a Waffle House and Denny's sit just up Washington Avenue, an easy walk or a two-minute drive, for late-night breakfast or a quick bite before checkout. Drive six minutes and you're at Gulf Hills Golf Course, or the same distance gets you to the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, worth the detour if you care at all about Gulf Coast folk art. Push a little further south down Washington Ave into downtown Ocean Springs and Government Street opens up — Vestige and Mosaic are the kind of dinner reservations worth planning your trip around, a different world from the exit-ramp fast food out front. Hard Rock Casino Biloxi is about six miles west.
Our Take
Read recent reviews before booking — guests have flagged stained carpets, mold in showers, and worse in a few rooms, and Booking.com's cleanliness score sits at a middling 6 out of 10. Plenty of other guests get a clean, no-complaint room and are happy paying rock-bottom rates this close to the interstate. This is a hotel for travelers who prioritize price and location over polish. If you're particular about your room, or this is a special trip, spend a little more and stay nearer the beach or the casinos instead.
