Sweet Tangerine Dreams
CRAWFORD, MS
The Tangerine Motel is a boutique motel that's part of The Hill and Moor outside of Crawford. Sitting on a rise with gorgeous views just off of Moor High Road, the Hill and Moor is a family-owned event venue where you can come to hold your wedding or other event in gorgeous surroundings and even get a bit of peace and quiet. They purchased the building that once housed the High School a few years ago, then renovated it completely and opened for business in 2022. They offer over 12 thousand square feet of space, both inside and out, and can handle up to 500 guests at a time.
The Tangerine has eighteen rooms in four distinct themes (the one shown in the photos is their "Library" room, with a bookcase filled with a broad variety of works to cozy up with). The room rates vary based on season, but they start at only $149/night and up for much of the year. On the far end, they also offer special packages for MSU home games, including an included continental breakfast. A shuttle service to and from the stadium is also available for a nominal fee so you don't have to worry about parking! Please note that game day weekends fill up quickly, so please plan ahead! Each room comes fully-equipped with a widescreen TV, high-speed internet, and all of the amenities.
Their venue offers multiple settings, including the Grand Hall, the Ballroom, and an outdoor Courtyard that’s perfect for ceremonies, cocktail hours, or evening receptions under the stars. Every rental includes tables, chairs, linens, service staff, setup, and cleanup, with a wide range of enhancements available to bring each event to life—such as a dance floor, drapery, greenery walls, photo booth, and more.
With its rich history, spacious design, and dedication to hospitality, The Hill and Moor provides couples, families, and organizations with a setting that is as meaningful as it is memorable.
Whether you have an event going on, or you just wanna get away from the city for a bit, they're worth checking out!

Here are some reviews from their satisfied customers:
Holley Yates
"When we started planning our wedding, I made sure it was clear I did not want a barn or anything with a barn vibe. I worked at the Hill and Moor right after it opened and fell in LOVE with the space, but never did I think I would get married there! The whole team was hands on during planning, making sure to ask questions about vendors, setup, etc. also making sure I was getting the best of the best support! From start to finish, this team did it ALL! They were outstanding and provided the best service the whole weekend! We even had guests stay at the hotel rooms on site and received nothing but compliments about the rooms, bed comfort, etc. Hands down, cannot recommend a better staff or venue! Even their bartenders are 10000/10!! will forever recommend the hill and moor and their team to any prospective brides!!!"

"This was a very unique property, being a renovated schoolhouse from the 1960s. The rooms were very unique, and many small touches that showed attention to detail. I would highly recommend as an alternative to the generic chain hotels/motels in Starkville."
