    I drove 2 hours to this hotel, and drove 2 hours back home because of the poor experience and safety concerns. I lost my money but it was so uncomfortable I was okay with it. They desk guy said he couldn't check me out because of my rate. I arrived, the first room 522, air didn't work, shower had black dirt, desk nasty and foil paper from previous guest in cabinet. Next room 813, the door was open when I got to the room. As a woman traveling alone, that's scary. The shower also nasty, hair in the bottom of shower, dust on the furniture, someone's hand prints left on the headboard, AC nook that's locked in most properties, was unlocked. Just overall, left me feeling unclean and unsafe so I grabbed my things, left and drove 2 hour back home. I couldn't book another property because they said they couldn't check me out. I'll miss the event I came for but I'm okay with that, because there is no way I would have been able to get any rest in that room because why was the door open? Also the knob you turn on the doors for the lock, they don't do anything. You have to rely on the metal flap. The phone also missing any details of how to call front desk or anything else.

    It has been almost 10 years since I last stayed at this hotel and it is still GREAT. The hotel is clean, well maintained, and the staff (Front Desk, Bar, Restaurant, Valet) are still EXCEPTIONAL!!! Interacted with 5 different ladies at the Front Desk and 3 different guys on the Valet Team; each were DELIGHTFUL and enhanced my guest experience. Enjoyed a drink at the bar with fast and friendly service and my to-go meal (Shrimp Alfredo and a Side Caesar) was DELICIOUS!

    Garbage left outside my door!

    This is the 1st time I have stayed at this property, so this review is for the 4 nights that I stayed on business travel. As a HHonors Lifetime Diamond Member, I stay almost weekly at Hilton properties across the USA. GOOD: This HGI is located in an old hotel in downtown Jackson called The Edward Hotel (I believe). From what I was told if was build well over 100 years ago. I really like some of the old hotels which Hilton has put into their Curio Collection properties. This property has the potential, but there is a lit of work to do. All of that staff that I interacted with were attentive and saw to my satisfaction. The room I booked was a King Suite and was excellent. Everything was up to date and functional. I had dinner every night at the King Edward Bar and Grill in the lobby. The menu is out of the HGI playbook, so nothing of special note. More on this under the BAD to follow. There is only Valet parking @ $28/night, so be prepared. The parking attendants were good overall. BAD: As there is a new GM that started recently, I see there has been neglect and there is much to be done. I met the new GM and he will be very good for this property. The property had zero bottles of water the entire stay. This is one of the things I count on, so this was a disappointment. However the lady who checked me in stepped-up and went out and got a large bottle of water, so I really appreciate the attention. As I said earlier, the food at the King Edward Bar and Grill was just ok. There is a 12 oz. Ribeye on the menu for $25 and I planned on having this my last night. I was informed that they didn't have the Ribeye which I do know for a fact that they did have earlier in the week. Another disappointment. Lastly, when I left my room to check-out this morning I was greeted with a pile of trash just outside my door! This is totally unacceptable!!! Overall, I would stay at this property again because of all the good people. It probably best to have correct expectations as this property is clearly a work in progress to get back to the status of what it once was.

    The staff were extremely polite and very helpful. We stayed here one night on our motorcycle trip back to FL. The breakfast was delicious- cheese grits to die for

    You Couldn't Pay Me To Stay Here Again! I am shocked that Hilton would allow their brand to be associated with this building. I cannot fathom where to even begin! My girlfriend and I reserved a room at this place while traveling from the Atlanta area back home to Dallas on 5/29/24, considering the fact that it was a "Hilton" and feeling tired from the drive. We made the reservation around 11:45pm while on the road assuming it would be a decent place to sleep for the night. After entering the address into my GPS and arriving 20 minutes later, I was less than enthused as I drove through a neglected, raggedy part of town to reach the hotel. Upon seeing suspicious individuals walking around, cars parked strangely in the middle of the road, I immediately thought, no way. Let's cancel and find another place to stay or just drive all the way home. Unfortunately, due to a technicality of it being past midnight, and now 5/30/24 we were unable to cancel as Hilton Refused to cancel my reservation, even though I had not yet been charged. Reluctantly, I decided to take the risk and stay. To my surprise, there was no hotel parking available except for valet parking, which came at an absurd price of $28 per night. I couldn't help but think, really? You're not in Seattle, New York City, Orlando, or Los Angeles - you're Jackson, freakin' Mississippi. You have no business charging premium parking prices in a run down, sleazy part of town. I ended up parking a block away in a public parking lot for $10, which I still found ridiculous given its location and surroundings but i digress. Upon entering the Lobby to see its "potential" as a historic building met with neglect, bad management, cracked and stained floors. Abused elevators. And not so hospitable night clerk. Upon getting to my room, the story only continued to get more bleak. As i opened the door to my room to be greeted by a room kept at nearly 80 degrees, it was hot and muggy. Furniture is scratched, dented and old. No, this place doesn't have a "Historic Charm" it's just raggedy, neglected. And disgusting. Not 20 minutes in the room before I hear my girlfriend scream from the bathroom! What's wrong i ask! To which she replies, the shower! It's spraying water all over the place! Having to wrap a hand towel around the shower head pipe to keep it from spraying all over the place isn't a quality you expect from a Hilton. The story only worsens. With stained towels, moldy grout. Walls so thin you can unfortunately hear your next door neighbor being intimate with his lady friend over the TV of which doesn't even display the correct channels on its own guide. All in all, do yourself a favor. Avoid this place if you can! What a terrible experience! If you want a hotel priced room with motel quality and want to constantly be wondering if your car will be broken into around the area. This might be up your alley.

    Ok first off been a diamond member for 10 plus years almost 200 hotel stays last year all hilton brand. This hotel feels run down hot tub broken when asked about said we don't know management is working on it, ask for management none here at 11 am. Thier have not been bowls for pool or gym for 2 days, other then the used ones all over the floor. The room phones don't work, the tv remotes did not work asked for new ones got one for both tvs, the mandatory 28 doller charge for wallet is bit high, but if going to do it then maybe more then one. Poor kid had cars parked in all valet spots plus 3 in road with flashers trying g to catch up. It is sad because I know downtown area is changing and crime is going down but the apathy of the employees not seeming to care about the guest experience will hurt long term. Talked to 3 other guest over coffee this morning that said they would not be back just to many small unsolved issues. Issues are fine as long as you inform customers you know and are working on them I see this as a great choice of hotels in down town but you need a leader to drive the staff

    Broken hair dryer plug. I shouldn't but I used it anyway - I like to live dangerously.

    This Hilton seems well located on paper. It also seems like a nice hotel based on the building's history, architecture and beautiful atrium. The truth is much more sobering however. While the hotel IS downtown, this part of Jackson seems pretty dead and not really conducive to much entertainment. A stray dog was hanging out in front of the hotel when we arrived and although she seemed friendly, my husband and I exchanged a "WTF" look. To save on the ridiculous $17+/night valet parking fees, I ended up parking the car myself in an adjacent street in a visible location, hoping for the best. The check-in was quick and our room was clean, so that's that. Some things were amiss though, such as the bathroom mirror light not working and the hair dryer plug barely holding together. I also admit that I'm a bit offended by Hilton trying to sell me Nestle water bottles in my room instead of just giving them out for free. Nobody wants crappy Nestle water and asking your guests (who already paid $130/night to stay here) to pay for it is just greedy, I think. In spite of all this, the staff was nice and polite, so I can't say this was a terrible experience. It's just not what you'd expect from a reputable brand like Hilton and it surely lowers one's expectations of their hotels.

    Really nice hotel. Really friendly staff. Swimming pool is kind of small. I wish there was more to do around it. Bed was very comfortable. Really enjoyed my stay there

Showers were clean, water hot quickly and no obvious stains or uncleanliness in the room/kitchen/bath. Comfy bed with plenty of pillows. Few issues...there wasn't a cart available so we had to take several trips to the car. We were also told that one of the rooms we had reserved (of 2 rooms) "hadn't been cleaned yet" so we had to "settle" for a smaller (1 bed/1 fold out) room for 2 large body men. Mind you we arrived at 9pm. Not a huge deal but more of a "be aware". Not sure if staff is lower on Sunday check ins and if carts were still in rooms. Either way...an inconvenience and not as "ordered". BUT...we all slept great, the a/c was cold, the breakfast was so good and fresh. Plenty of coffee and absolutely a great morning.

To be fair, Jackson, MS wasn't my destination, it's simply a great midpoint for me to rest when I'm road trippin' between Dallas and Atlanta. The Good: The hotel is relatively new and It's conveniently located near the University of Mississippi Medical Center and VA hospital. A few restaurants are within walking distance, which is a plus. It's also pet-friendly, which is fabulous since my fur babies love a good road trip. Also, the staff is really nice (shoutout to Francine!) The not-so-Good: There's an appearance of clean in the rooms, but not really. On my last stay, I was greeted by couch stains, rusty shower, and some leftover "mystery gunk" in the kitchen sink. It's the second time the TV didn't work, and the fourth time my digital key failed. The entire fridge moved around the kitchen whenever I opened it, LOL. Also, the lobby can get quite loud, since it occasionally turns into a hangout spot for large groups. Know before you go that the surrounding area can feel a bit mixed and while I've never felt unsafe, staying aware is a must. Pet owners, take note: The designated dog areas can get very messy since not everyone picks up after their pets and the hotel doesn't seem to maintain these areas well. If want your pup's paws clean, you'll need to find another spot for walks. Bottom line: When the price is right, this a decent option for an overnight stay. Just know there are some "quirks", and plan accordingly. Happy Stays!

The staff I will say are great and try to help with what they can. The first room I checked into was so hot and filthy, I had to request a room change. Not sure why I was given a handy accessible room with a broken faucet, dirty floors and dirty walls. I know it's been hot lately (78F) but the AC units don't seem to keep up in this building at all. The temps in the rooms barely budge lower and sometimes even creep up! Also power seems to be unreliable as it goes out at least once a day! Building looks a little neglected with lots of hallway lightbulbs not working, and just small issues like paint and cracks on doors. At first glance everything will look fine until you start looking more closely. Breakfast is just your usual complimentary fare of eggs and bacon, bagels, yogurt, juice and coffee. You can make yourself some mini waffles with syrup if that's your preference. I did enjoy the coffee very much. Couldn't access the pool as the room cards don't seem to unlock the gate and staff don't really know why.
