My mother and I shared a room here a couple of years ago and I am still delighted to see it surviving whenever I am in the area. This place truly is truly a gem. It feels like you travelled back in time 50 years, to the golden age of little roadside motels. The rooms are tiny and old, but... More

We have stayed at the Dixie Belle several times and plan to stay many more! The motel rooms are older but Very Clean & Comfortable. The owners are wonderful people and when we need to make any changes on our stay they are always very accomodating to us.

I don't recommend this place. I made a reservation because I drove about 13 hours and knew we would be ready to get settled in. I told her we had a dog and she had a room for us. After getting there, we were told the dog would have to be crated if we left the room. I don't travel... More

I often take my dogs when I travel and have always been told by hotels and motels not to leave any dog alone and unsupervised in the room unless crated. It's a reasonable request for both the property owner and the pet's safety. More

I have nothing but compliments abut the Dixie Belle. We arrived there on Thursday and left on Saturday. The owners are great folks. Did all they could to make us feel at home.

The Dixie Belle was built in the early 1960's and our rooms are quite small. We do our best to give our guests the amenities of a more modern facility and cleanliness is a huge priority. Thanks folks for posting your positive experience. More

Right off the bat, I'm guessing that these young folks thought they were on central time. The Dixie Belle is ET, check out is 11 AM and at 11:30 AM my housekeeper was waiting for them to leave so she could clean the room. On 3/30 they paid for 2 people occupying the room and when I found 4 adults... More

We had the pleasure of spending 2 nights at the Dixie Belle. Yes, its not a new fancy place, but that is just part of its charm. When we checked in the owner made sure to let us know where we were situated in regard to area attractions and eateries since we were new to the area. Our room was... More

Having been rained out of our first night of tent camping at St. Joseph State Park, we actually returned to the Dixie Belle after visiting other unappealing motel options. Initially, we were turned away because of the state law only allowing 4 to a room, but on return the owner suggested we take the suite, which was $80, rather than... More

As i visited off season, several rooms were available. Mine (with two beds) was $50 including tax. The lady who runs the place is nice and I liked the worn, but very clean room (mine had a dolphin theme). The bathroom was extremely small, but also clean. My only real complaint were the thin walls. The guys next door left... More

Close to some of the best fishing in the south. Quiet and laid back with a nice fish dressing area with freezer storage. The rooms are always clean and never any problems. Gladly kept an item I left behind till I could return. In a nutshell they are great host.

That wobbly toilet is on the "honey do" list. Maybe your review will light a fire under honey. Thanks so much. Your kids are sweet. More

we booked this hotel because the price was impossible to beat and because the reviews on trip advisor are mostly very favorable. we did have a few troubles, but i'm assuming it was one of those fluke experiences because some of the problems we had sound like unusual things for this hotel (going by the reviews here). that happens, i...

We do not charge for WiFi. It is an amenity we provide. During the reviewers stay, I rebooted the router several times hoping that would help and also suggested that he come to the covered deck outside of the office closer to the router where the signal is strong. In the meantime, I ordered a new long range router and... More
