I just spent three nights with five guy friends and we each had our own loft. The guys loved it! We picked one room to be the hangout room, so perfect! Being above the Yazoo Pass restaurant and cafe was a real bonus since the food and service there were outstanding...especially for breakfast and coffees. If you are considering The Lofts at the Five and Dime, don't hesitate, so much fun!

Love, love, love!!! This was a wonderful hidden gem in the…read moreheart of downtown Clarksdale. The space is very unassuming from the street. The door has an electric keypad that guests have access to via a code. Once upstairs, the suites are amazing, and every one has a "blues-inspired" vibe. My family rented 4 suites, and we were able to move freely throughout all suites as if we were all under one roof. The set up was very conducive to our needs, and the price was just right. There is no "front desk", or staff onsite, but that was not a problem as we were provided all the necessary information in advance. Since the space was close to dining and entertainment, I'd definitely recommend it for your next visit to Clarksdale.

Some of the little cabins are original & some are new built to look like the original historic cabins. We LOVE the new built cabins that look Vintage. They are so adorable & so unique. It's obvious a lot of work went into them, the attention to detail is incredibly impressive. I mean they even decorated them in the Vintage fashion to the exact details of the era. Very Impressive. It was definitely a labor of love that went into this place. It's just breathtakingly beautiful in the morning fog & the sunsets are legend from this place. The "Delta" cabin is our fave, we love the back screened in porch. It's a shack, they are all just little shacks, but it's the most adorable shacks EVER. haha. "PLEASE BUILD MORE DELTA CABINS" I can't get reservations for my fave shack!!! LOL There are no tv's or anything it's just a shack, you're basically glamping so bring everything you need, especially bedding if you want to sleep a little more posh. That's what we do. The coolest thing here is the juke joint & blues bar that has live music. You can't even get a room here when the festival is going on. If you want to attend the festival you have to book a year in advance. Highest Recommendations.

You can…read moreread the stories of this one-time segregated hospital cum musician haven elsewhere - I'll just tell you my story. Prices and booking are done via phone/email with Zee, the owner (daughter of the beloved Frank Ratliff who ran this place for decades). My 2 daughters and I were set up in the Sonny Boy Williamson room on a weeknight for $70 cash. Can't argue with that! I was afraid we'd be arriving too late (around 9) but she said no problem. There is no parking lot - you'll be on the curb. We were also the only car on the block (we did a bit better in time and beat Zee there). It was admittedly a moment that gave slight pause, but then Zee came up and all was well. You're family as soon as you meet her - hugs all the way around. She gave us a 10-minute tour - as we were the only tenants for the night, she opened up all the rooms and let us soak in the aura of Bessie Smith's final moments and rock & roll's birth pangs via Ike Turner. My kids settled in, and I continued to talk to her about music, Clarksdale, and the relationships she's made with guests from around the world - good times. She's also got lots of area info to set you up for your stay, which starts off just a couple of blocks away at the Crossroads. As I settled back in my room, I walked the narrow hallway and just tried to grasp the different lives that have walked this way - it was almost too much to fathom. As mentioned, we were the only ones staying the night, but there is a guy who hangs out in the front office and he's got security monitors so there's no worries about your belongings - no hellhounds on your trail at this place. He also made coffee for me in the morning. Clarksdale is not a town hurting for fantastic places to stay for cheap. Between the Riverside or the Shack Up Inn, you'll have a stay you'll never forget. But if you want to feel the spirits of the past, this is the one you should pick.

Do your part to support Delta visual and aural artists, the Squeeze Box and Clarksdale are counting on you and you'll stay in the neatest artistic locale you can imagine.

Not what I expected for a room where Morgan Freeman supposedly stayed. 3 stars. The next sweaty morning, I turn on the water in the tub and all kinds of debris came gushing out. 2 stars. Took a wash-off in the sink. I had a good time at the Ground Zero blues club, so I kept it at 2 stars. Oh... and there wasn't a soul on site the morning I left except a homeless guy on the front steps.

The coffee maker was missing a piece, but we took that as an excuse to go across the street to the great diner. The loft did get loud, being right on top of a juke joint and all. But you oughta be downstairs shakin' your rump in any case, shugga.
