The Roost Boutique Hotel

Wonderful experience at The Roost Ocean Springs. The hotel looks straight out of Southern Living magazine - so perfect. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. We rented a golf cart and rode around the neighborhoods looking at all the holiday lights and then went to dinner and drinks. Such a fun experience. Highly recommend The Roost for any stay in Ocean Springs.

The Roost Hotel feels like peace wrapped in luxury. The rooms were beautifully designed clean, spacious, and filled with those small, thoughtful details that make the stay feel special. Service was top-notch: welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful without ever hovering. The location is quiet but still close enough to all the good food and local gems. This is one of those places where you can slow down, breathe, and really enjoy your stay. A hidden gem on the Gulf Coast. Louie K’s Up approved.

The Roost was a wonderful place to stay. The Lovebird suite was especially spacious and quaint with a beautiful bathroom. We loved that we could easily walk to the downtown area and enjoy shopping and fine restaurants. Can’t wait to come back!

We had such a wonderful stay at The Roost Boutique Hotel on Porter Street! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, stylish, and welcoming. We stayed in the Pelican Suite, which was absolutely beautiful—spacious, thoughtfully designed, and so comfortable. The entire property has a cozy, inviting charm that makes you feel right at home. What truly made my experience exceptional, though, was the service. Hiram went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect during our stay. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our time there enjoyable. His recommendations and hospitality really elevated the whole experience. I can’t say enough good things about The Roost—it’s a hidden gem that combines comfort, character, and outstanding service. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to all my friends!

A lovely little gem of a place. We came with family for a wedding and the common spaces were perfect for gathering and having coffee or drinks. The rooms were well appointed and generous is size. The location was perfect for bopping around town - everything was within a few minutes and would have been very walkable, though we rented golf carts from the hotel (great fun!)

The Root is such a special place tucked in the cutest town. The staff is amazing, rooms are beautiful and clean. They have a fabulous bartender who makes great crafty cocktails. There is also a beautiful heated pool tucked back in a private garden-like area that makes the stay even more relaxing! Highly recommend!

Great location, great hotel, great staff. The bar is a hidden gem. Just a great, relaxing place to stay! We have been 2 years in a row for our anniversary, and we will be back next year. And if you're in Ocean Springs and not staying at thr Roost, go by and try the bar, great craft cocktails and the friendliest staff.

Upon check-in on 9/14, Sunday, I was greeted by the sweetest young lady. She welcomed me with a smile and explained everything I needed to know. Also personally took me on a small tour of the grounds and escorted me to where my room was. I had no questions, she was fantastic. The rooms had so much charm as well as all of The Roost Boutique Hotel. I slept so good. The courtyards and pool area were fantastic. The Bar was convenient and accommodating to our needs and so was the bartender. We even sat out upstairs on one of the landings in the Rocking chairs. This place is an experience like no other. You have to try it. I felt like a queen. The entire staff were all so friendly. Truly a Southern place to be. Oh....I forgot to go back and buy a candle. But that's okay, I will be back to get one. They smell wonderful.

Second visit. It's a great little boutique hotel. Great aesthetics and relaxing vibe. Walkable location to the main drag in Ocean Springs as well as the beach. This time, we noticed there were a few minor items that could use some maintenance but nothing that prevented us from enjoying our stay.

Our very quick overnight trip to Ocean Springs was TOO short but exceeded our expectations because we stayed at The Roost. The lovely Paula checked us in at the front desk. She showed us around the property and even drove us to dinner in her golf cart. So accommodating and happy to help! We ventured down to the wee Wilbur Bar before heading out to dinner. It's so cute! We had a glass of wine and an Aperol spritz while chatting with some other travelers and the nice barkeep. The Roost is comfortable and the staff is friendly and professional. It's a shame we didn't have much time to really enjoy the property. Next time we'll make sure to visit the beautiful pool and relax in the common areas with a good book. I highly recommend The Roost!

Very cool boutique hotel. Staff is great! Outdoor area is amazing!!! Rooms kind of small but this is the kind of place you are likely to hang outside. Great for groups and vac with grown kids. Not comfortable walking distance to the busy downtown area. But the owners have many other properties and some of those are. (Stayed at the Hemingway previously- it's wonderful) Hidden room behind bookcase in the Wilbur bar area is super cool. Overall great experience!!

The most Beautiful Craft Beautique Hotel with its own adorable craft cocktail bar and live music speakeasy vibes I've ever stayed in!!! the scenery and views are all southern charmed. The pool is even custom and gorgeous!! 10/10

My only regret about The Roost is that we didn't have more time to spend at this adorable hotel. We arrived late and had to leave at the crack of dawn to get back to New Orleans for our swamp tour so we barely had time to enjoy our beautiful room or the community spaces. I briefly checked out the attached bar and wished I could have gotten a drink there. For the brief time that I spent here, I was very impressed with the quaint yet classy vibe. If I ever visit the Gulf Coast again, I'll be sure to book a room here for at least a couple nights.

What a quaint and lovely place!! Upon checking on served a nice drink. The rooms are designed to be special and THEY ARE!!!! So many places on the grounds to relax and enjoy - steps from shoppes and beach front ! Already love this place!!!!

Such a nice boutique hotel in beautiful Ocean Springs. Great for a long weekend away from kids. Great pool and small bar for wonderful drinks.

For the rates this place charges ($500/night with a two night minimum), there are some major quality control issues. There are no amenities whatsoever besides the pool, which isn't staffed and doesn't have towels. During our stay, the hotel had rented out half the pool area for a private event, leaving about 8 seats at the pool. There isn't onsite food and beverage, except a bar which opens in the evening - took the bartender about 20 minutes to make two cocktails. The rooms need an update - scuffed walls, sticky floors, curtains that don't close, and a bizarrely inconvenient setup, like a dresser stuffed into the closet so you can't hang anything in there, no hooks in the bathroom, etc. Housekeeping does the bare minimum. No staff on site except the person at the front desk who leaves at 7 - which means there is no one to help haul your luggage up the flights of stairs when they book you in a second floor room with no parking nearby. You're better off staying in an Airbnb, because that's basically what this is. Unclear what you're paying for here.

This is a first rate hotel. Totally unique and very well run. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend it!

Stayed here for a few nights and was blown away. Property is clean and spotless, very well maintained. Our room was immaculate and finished well. Pool area is gorgeous and cozy, with a fireplace directly next to it. Our room even included a fan in the closet that we used at night when sleeping for background noise. Never been to a hotel who thought about small touches like that before. The on-site bar was also super cute and sweet inside. All in all, the whole place is absolutely beautiful and has a very unique feeling to it. Doesn't feel like you're at a hotel to be honest. Feels more like a second home.

The property was beautiful and everyone was so friendly! I'll definitely be going back for another relaxing weekend getaway.

Lovely overnight stay at The Roost. We were able to get last minute reservations on Memorial Day Sunday and took the short drive from New Orleans to get a break from the city. The Roost is beautiful, the staff friendly, and within walking distance to the beach and downtown area. (what more can you ask for!) We stayed in the Pelican Suite and it was decorated perfectly. Rustic charm and very comfortable. The Roost has a resident cat who is super friendly and I think should be considered part of The Roost's family. That adorable feline welcomed us with purrs and visited with us in the evening on the porch with some of the other guests. Note: The Roost has a great outdoor area where you can enjoy lounging, reading, coffee or wine drinking...whatever suits your fancy. Thank you for a lovely stay. We can't wait to come back!

Clean rooms.. nice bar..very friendly staff however there's no mirror in the room we stayed in. There's a mirror over the sink that's it ... weird.. no idea what these clothes look like I have on !! lol ...walls between the rooms were paper thin. I heard the TV on all night in the room next to mine, yikes!! for the money I probably won't come back..

The Roost is a wonderful hotel to stay at when you visit Ocean Springs, Ms. My wife and I recently stayed here. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel setting is wonderful. The location is close to the town shops, and restaurants, etc.. I highly recommend this place. Enjoy! My wife and I will be back!

My husband and I stayed for one night on November 14, 2022 in the Pelican room. Don't let the pictures fool you. The owners did a great job staging the rooms and have a nice looking website. Upon arriving we were greeted with a sign that said the front desk was closed and to go to the Wilbur for assistance. We walked around the property which is lovely and found the Wilbur. We were greeted by two very sweet workers who were not exactly sure where the Pelican was. We went with where they thought it was and found our room. To get to the room we had to climb a flight of metal stairs with holes on each tread. I'm glad I wasn't wearing heels. As soon as we opened the door we were hit with a wonderful scent of mildew. The room looked like the picture but dingy. The bathroom closet was unusable because the mildew smell was horrible. The shower door was dirty and there was hair left on the shower floor..gross. The place was dusty, spiders behind the toilet, windows were broken and the sofa was stained. The king size bed was extremely uncomfortable and we were both rolling to the center of the mattress. Back to the Wilbur. We met our cousins there for drinks and the speakeasy is great. I would definitely go back to the Wilbur. Back to the mildew. I took what I was wearing to bed out of my suitcase and it stunk like mildew. I get what the owners were trying to do but you can't just throw on a coat of paint, buy a few pieces of furniture and call it a day. Too bad I really wanted to love this place.

Absolutely the best place to stay on the Gulf Coast. This is a true gem for my favorite get away spot.

This was a fantastic place to stay! This place is unlike anything that I've ever been to. It was a warming room and had great service. There's a bar in the bottom of the building with seating outside. I did not have a drink but if I were staying another night I probably would have. Everything was spot on! I'll be back for sure.

We planned an quick trip (we live less than 2 hours away) so my husband could see the town and especially go to the Walter Anderson Museum and Shearwater pottery. I stayed at the Inn (which is also owned by The Roost) about 9 months ago with a friend, but got a tour of the Roost, and had decided to stay there with my husband. We were hoping for early check in since we wanted to walk around the town before the rain the next day, and this was easily arranged for us. The same for late checkout the next day. Having the remodeled Wilbur Bar open for a light supper that night was great, since we had a large meal for a late lunch in town. Al-in-all, service was impeccable, shower was large, room was delightfully remodeled to a high standard, and the bed was comfy. We will bring family from California back for a visit when they come next spring!

Top of the line experience. They think of everything and give their guest a wonderful experience. Beautiful room, heavenly bed, with coffee pot and tea, small fridge and lovely soaps. Look forward to my return, it is really as good as the website. A few blocks from the main drag, but nice walk.

My boyfriend and I spent one night rainy night in the Fern suite, at the Roost. The room was beautiful, with a bed I still dream about. The location was ideal, in the heart of downtown Ocean Springs. We spent a lovely evening on the porch of the hotel. We will be back the next time we are in Ocean Springs!
