My daughter’s boyfriend is stationed at Keesler AFB in Mississippi. We are going to visit in early November. He said he can possibly obtain a place for us to stay on base. However, he cannot reserve it till 3 days before we are due to arrive. Little late for my controlling OCD.
I am planning on having a backup room off base in case we do not get to stay on base.
So two questions.
Thoughts on reasonably priced but safe and clean places to stay close to base. Strong possibility just my daughter and I going so safe main priority.
2. Any experience with trying to stay on base. Anyone know what our odds are in obtaining a room on base.
Thanks for any help.

We always stay at one of the casinos when we go to the Coast. Most all of them are close to Keesler and are very nice and safe.
Keesler's a nice base, but I've never stayed in their guest housing.

We always stayed at the LaQuinta. It's a few miles from the beach but much cheaper than the casinos. There are a couple of places to eat right outside the hotel.

I would stay at a Biloxi casino. They are close to base. The Beau Rivage is nice, typically reasonably priced, and on the beach.

i assume he is referring to guest housing? AF InnsInns of Keesler - this is the one he is referring toenjoy your visitWe are hoping for base housing but he can not reserve anything till right before we arrive. So I was looking for hints on places that are close to the base but clean and safe for my daughter and I to stay in alone if he can not get us on base. Thanks |

Thanks everybody. I do like the thought of staying on the beach but not sure in the budget.
I will do some research with the suggestions. I appreciate them.
Thoughts on weather in early November. I am not looking to swim or be in the ocean but are we looking at capris and sandals or jeans and sweatshirts. By early November in Ohio I am most likely to be in sweaters already.
Thanks

We use Choice Hotel chain and select from one of their hotels/motels. Breakfast is included and we like that.
