Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers an atmospheric stay in the Garden House with good food but falls short of expectations in the main house and carriage house. The service in their Natchez pied a terre is exceptionally friendly and attentive, stemming from the property's restoration to its original 1830s design. The location boasts beautiful surroundings for nature activities and relaxation just outside Natchez's town center, complemented by remarkable honors and ratings displayed prominently. The dining experience in another beautiful building offers enjoyable options with a standout coffee selection.
The hotel rooms are a hidden gem that brings you back to the past, with plenty of modern amenities. The service is friendly and professional, fulfilling every request with a smile. The location, while tranquil and steeped in southern goodness, is well manicured with well-kept grounds. The dining experience includes a lovely meal served in a separate building in the garden. Overall, a charming place but with some room for improvement.
I found the hotel's scattered layout within beautiful grounds to be charming, yet my room, although clean and comfortable with a small patio, felt a bit dingy. The staff were both friendly and efficient, providing interesting historical insights but the dining service was not as impressive as I had hoped. The location in mature gardens just outside downtown was truly amazing, perfect for a relaxing stay, especially during a cold winter day.
I found the hotel to be an intriguing mix of positives and negatives. The location was stunning, offering beautiful surroundings even in winter, but the dining experience left much to be desired. The service was exceptional, with courteous and attentive staff, although the facilities were somewhat lacking. The rooms, while serviced by the knowledgeable and gentlemanly Roosevelt, were comfortable but required a bit of effort to access with a small stairwell and a huge bag.
My Valentine's/Anniversary getaway at the hotel was simply gorgeous. The property is truly remarkable and stands out compared to others. However, it looked slightly different than expected from online photos.
Staying at this hotel was like stepping back in time, with spacious and beautifully decorated rooms but without any views or natural light. The rocking chairs on the veranda added a charming touch, but the darkness made it feel like being stuck in the 1800s. The service was friendly and helpful overall, although assistance with luggage could have been better. The location was peaceful, well-maintained, with nice outdoor seating areas, and some areas could use a bit more attention. The dining experience was fantastic, especially in the main dining room and the Quitman bar. The facilities were decent, catering to basic needs.
