the heirloom hotel laurel ms finally opens its doors, here's what common sense locals are saying about it
After months of hype and delays, the heirloom hotel laurel ms is open for business on Front Street, and I drove by to see it for myself. Common sense says you don't drop millions on a boutique hotel in a small town and expect it to pay off. The place looks fancy, but who's actually going to afford the $300-a-night rooms when we're all still waiting on our property taxes to come down? I heard the restaurant serves $18 cocktails—guess that's their version of "heirloom" pricing. The parking lot was half empty at 6 PM on a Saturday, so the crowds must've gotten lost on their way to the Piggly Wiggly. Typical Laurel: slap some paint on a century-old building, call it historic, and charge city prices for rural wages.
