The Renaissance Shopping Center is located less than a mile from The Hampton Inn and has several good restaurants and clothing stores.

McClain Lodge would be such a fun activity to do Saturday morning/afternoon. It is a drive through safari and petting zoo. There is no better way to start off your Saturday than getting to feed a camel, zebra, water buffalo and so much more. Yes you read that right! McClain lodge also has a restaurant that over looks the safari park.

Highland village is another shopping center located about 10 minutes from the hotel. It is a new local hot spot that has several shops as well as some good restaurants such as Bravo, Beagle Bagel, Char, and Aplos.

Babalu is southern cuisine with a latin flair. They have great tacos as well as other entrees and the tableside guacamole is a MUST!

This is by far the best greek restaurant in town and Lauren's favorite! They have your normal greek food such as lamb gyros but they also have great salads and grilled chicken gyros (Lauren's favorite). And you cannot forget to get the cottage fries and make sure to ask from them to be crispy. I promise you won't regret it!

Bulldog Burger originally started in Starkville, MS (HAIL STATE) and it did so well in Starkville that it opened up a chain here in Jackson. This is one of Hudson and I's favorite restaurant in Starkville. They have tons of burgers and if burgers are not your thing you can ask for grilled chicken instead ;)

Biaggi's Italian restaurant is about 5 minutes from the hotel. It has great Italian food and has something everyone would enjoy.

You can never go wrong with pizza from Soulshine! And an extra bonus is that it is less then a mile from the hotel.

Primos has a fantastic breakfast that is served all day as well as really good southern cookin' blue plates. It is a little less then 10 minutes from the hotel.
