Really not so grand…read more This is my second time staying here and it's gotten worse since my last visit which has only been maybe 2 or 3 years ago. OK, so this is probably the best hotel you can stay at in or around Natchez but they are obviously floating by on that. The lobby is really nice, but that's where it ends. They don't seem to regularly upkeep the place. Cons: -Had a difficult time getting into the room multiple times, weird room key card issue -They are supposed to be a smoke free hotel, but our room smell like smoke and was musty smelling -No luggage rack. I really don't like having to put my suitcase on the bed or floor to unpack -Cheap outdated furniture -AC unit doesn't work well. I was here two nights and though the AC was set to 65, my family and I woke up hot multiple times. -Fridge was disgusting! Had to put our water in the door of the fridge because the other portion of the fridge was soiled and not clean -Bathroom sink leaks everytime it was turned on, toilet is way to low and the toilet handle was so loose I was afraid I was going to break it everytime I flushed. -Room too expensive and there was an added fee for the pool and Wi-Fi. Not cool -I wasn't expecting much from their breakfast offerings but it was not good at all. Everything was in those warming chafing dishes but everything but the grits was cold. French toast tasted like bread with maple syrup and it was hella chewy, breakfast sausage low quality, eggs fake, grits were actually good( in comparison) Pros: -Staff was friendly -Our room had a great view of the Mississippi River -We had a place to lay our head -My family liked how big and fluffy the pillows were. I had a crook in my neck both nights, but no fault of theirs -Cute, walkable area behind the hotel that had music, vendors and Christmas decorations Due to slim pickings, this probably won't be my last time here, but this hotel could really be nice if they put more effort into the rooms and upkeep. They need to do better.

Monmouth (Natchez, MS)…read more The house is absolutely stunning!!! The staff there is so freaking friendly. And the food,... omggggg it was so good. I got the pork chop and *starts drooling* it was fantastic!! The home was built in 1818 by John Hankinson, a postmaster, lawyer and, steamboat entrepreneur, during the depression that followed the War of 1812. The mansion was a brick two-story in the Federal style. Hankinson and his wife died soon after completing the house and the house was sold at a public auction to Calvin Smith, who one year later sold the property to John Anthony Quitman, the future Governor of Mississippi. John Quitman, originally of New York City, was a partner in a successful Natchez law firm and married Eliza Turner, a member of one of the most prominent families. Quitman purchased Monmouth in 1826. The house was extensively renovated in 1853 in the Greek Revival style. The original brick was covered by stucco, scored to look like stone, and the portico was added to the front, along with the four square columns supporting it. John A. Quitman died at Monmouth on July 17, 1858, apparently a victim of what was then called the National Hotel Disease an ailment similar to Legionnaire's Disease, which many American politicians contracted after staying or dining at the National Hotel in Washington, D.C. His wife died a year later and their children took control of the home. In 1862, when Natchez was attacked by the Union army, most of the slaves fled. Most of Quitman's original possessions were either stolen in 1863 or sold by Quitman's daughters in 1865 due to financial difficulty. The house was spared from further damage during the war, as the daughters befriended a Union general and pledged loyalty to the United States. In 1866, three of the daughters purchased their siblings' share of the property, and by 1890, Annie Rosalie was the sole owner of Monmouth. In 1914, she died and left the home to her nieces, who sold it in 1924. For the next half century, the house was severely neglected with the house and other surviving structures filled with litter and the grounds overgrown. After several changes of ownership, Ronald and Lani Riches of Los Angeles, California, purchased the property in 1978 and restored it to its original condition. The restoration took 3 years. In 1982, after archaeological research determined the location of two small houses used as slave quarters, the buildings were reconstructed on the original sites. Though most of John Quitman's original furnishings had been lost, the house still contained a few pieces such as a sofa, a carved settee, and several chairs. The Riches searched for other furniture and memorabilia from Quitman, and they were able to recover his desk, two four-poster beds, and the Quitman family Bible. Other memorabilia now include the gold sword presented to Quitman by James K. Polk and the United States Congress for his services in the Mexican-American War, as well as the red handkerchief Quitman used to rally his troops.

We stayed in the Pond Cottage 2-bedroom suite and unfortunately had such a poor experience that we…read moreended up paying for both Monmouth and a second hotel in Natchez because we could not stay the night. The "2-bedroom suite" layout was very misleading for three adults. The second bedroom was accessed through the main bedroom, making it awkward for privacy and much better suited for parents traveling with young children. The sitting area was essentially non-functional, leaving us with nowhere to comfortably spend time outside the main bedroom. The room had an extremely strong floral fragrance that was overwhelming and made one member of our party feel nauseated. While the grounds are beautiful in photographs, they clearly needed maintenance. Areas were overgrown and potentially hazardous for elderly guests or those with mobility issues. The parking area became muddy and flooded after only a mild rain. The outdoor furniture was dirty, weathered, and in some cases had exposed metal that made us uncomfortable using it. There was also a noticeable odor of cat urine around parts of the property. The bathroom initially appeared updated, until you encountered the wooden plank transition into the shower and the toilet area, which was so small it was difficult to even turn around comfortably. We specifically chose Monmouth for the immersive historic inn experience and instead found it to be an expensive disappointment and a $300 mistake.

Walking into my king suite at the Hampton Inn felt like re-entering civilization. Clean room, fresh air, everything working--just a shocking concept after what I had just endured. No mystery stains, no "what died in here?" aroma, no lingering sense that I might leave with a new, unnamed medical condition. And the breakfast? Actual food. Real, edible, recognizable food. Not the kind of experience where you question your life choices halfway through a bite and start mapping the nearest exit. Compared to the situation in Vidalia, this was basically Michelin-star dining. If you're staying anywhere near Natchez, do yourself a favor and just book the Hampton Inn. Skip the other spots unless you're specifically looking for a haunted house experience or a historic B&B where you might accidentally become part of the family. Here, you get a full, clean, modern setup--and most importantly, peace of mind that no one is going to touch your stuff, your food, or your immune system. Final verdict: Hampton Inn = sanity restored. Clarion Suites in Vidalia = never again, not even under witness protection.

She was loud and obnoxious and condescending, unlike very sweet and accommodating Brenda who checked us in and gave us a room facing the river instead of the autobooked room on the back side.

Odds are if you are a tourist, you come to Natchez, Mississippi, in search of history. Natchez is…read morenot the easiest place to get to in Mississippi, stuck away in a somewhat remote corner of the state along the mighty Mississippi River, just north of New Orleans where the River exits to the Gulf. History seeps from the sidewalks in this beautiful town. Natchez has many historic claims including being originally Natchez Indian territory, then part of France, then Spain, before becoming part of the United States and then Mississippi. You'll find structures here relating to each of these eras due to the strong historic preservation ethic alive in this town. Every historic preservation effort in the state of Mississippi traces its roots back to Natchez. My late wife was inspired by the beauty of Natchez and the history here to work a lifetime in Corinth to preserve it's historic past. Recently, I was privileged to spend a night in this lovely bed and breakfast. This Edwardian era home built around 1910 has been lovingly restored and furnished immaculately with antiques and period furnishings. If you are looking for accommodations that are shiny and new, this is not the place for you. Expect some squeaks in the floor and offsets in the floor in some places where modern additions have been made to accommodate things like indoor plumbing. Stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are somewhat narrow and steep. The magnificent view upstairs is the only compensation if you are fit enough for the climb. What you can expect here is a gracious host, an absolutely breathtaking view from the front and upstairs porches, a sumptuous truly Southern style breakfast, fine china and silverware, and an ambiance that will give you a sense of a bygone era. You will, in short, be transported back in time which for some of us is a good thing. If you are lucky enough to enjoy a visit here, I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

I've stayed with two other B&Bs in Natchez in past years and nothing is to compare.

10/10 do NOT recommend…read more This was one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. The first room we were given had the toilet seat cover completely removed. When we brought it to the hotel's attention, we were initially told there were no other rooms available, but then we were moved to another room. Unfortunately, the second room was not any better. The bathroom was filthy. I took toilet paper and did a brief wipe of the bathroom floor/counter area, and the amount of dirt and grime that came up was disgusting. The bathroom floor, corners, light fixture area, and shower space were visibly dirty and poorly maintained. There was also leaking water in the shower area, which made the bathroom feel unsanitary and potentially unsafe. On top of that, the refrigerator did not get cold despite being turned to the coldest setting, and the microwave appeared to have a short. These are not minor inconveniences -- these are basic cleanliness, safety, and maintenance issues that should never be present in a hotel room being rented to paying guests. It honestly felt like this business does not care about the condition of the rooms or the people paying to stay there. Guests should not be charged money to stay in a room with filth, broken appliances, water leaks, and obvious neglect. I have never stayed in a hotel like this, and I never will again. Extremely disappointing, unsanitary, and unacceptable. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The room was comfortable, the staff absolutely wonderful, and the breakfasts were delicious. We were in town for a family reunion, and on this visit we were made aware of a large side-by-side refrigerator that was available to guests. This was great as we'd brought food packed in ice for 8+ hours and needed to keep it cold. Nell is a wonderful hostess, and each morning our ice bucket was thoughtfully refilled. Although adjacent property owners can be downright nasty when it comes to on street parking, the Burn has lots of "hidden" parking both beside the home, and tons of parking behind. Each owner has put a unique stamp on the home, and Terrell, the current owner, has a wonder collection of books about the history of the south which are available for guests to borrow. This is a great benefit on hot, rainy days when you don't want to go out.

The Burn (Natchez, MS) Soon after their arrival to Natchez, Federal troops began the creation of Fort McPherson, a large earthwork in the northern suburbs of the city. Designed by Capt.

The Burn was the headquarters for the Federal Fort McPherson, and later a hospital for wounded soldiers. The Burn was constructed for Aurora, New York, native John P. Walworth. The Walworths named the house The Burn, a Scottish term for brook, and their descendants owned it until 1935.

There was blood stains on the bed my daughter was going to sleep in. We couldn't do it-so we asked for another room. Was given a room on floor 2. The key didn't worked-was told that the room had a broken lock. Was then moved back to floor 4, the room directly Nextdoor to the initial dirty one. Was told that housekeeping just finished cleaning it. This one wasn't much better. Bedding stained, floors were atrocious, mysterious stains on the sofa and chairs. The ice bucket appeared to have dark smudge stains on it. The drawer handles were sticky, did not want to know what that was. We didn't stay long enough to shower and quite frankly-I didn't want to step foot into the shower anyway judging from the amount of mold and hair in there. Needless to say-we all kept our socks and slippers on. We throughly checked the beds for any signs of bedbugs as that is always a worry, thankfully we didn't see any (I bring travel spray anyway to be safe). Unfortunately my daughter did spot a small spider on her bedding in which made for a pretty bad night with trying to settle down a panicked child. The water took FOREVER to heat up and the pressure was awful. Breakfast was free, but in all honesty, I didn't want to stay in the hotel any longer nor eat the food. We got up as early as we could and checked out. We expressed our concerns and showed pics of the poopy blankets in which the desk clerk giggled and never even made eye contact as if he had heard this before and knew. Wow. DO NOT STAY HERE. We should have just slept in our vehicle.
