We went to Jackson on October 14,2006 for college football game. We booked it in advance but forgot to look here for comments. We were so puzzled prior to booking as to why this was the only hotel available in Jackson this particular weekend. When we arrived the parking garage was big enough to fit golf carts and motor cycles.... more

I was scheduled to stay at this hotel for a government training class and upon arriving the room smelled musty. It had cigarette burns on the carpet, the A/c was not on and the room was hot. They had bell service but no one came to assist me even though I asked for assistance as I am a small female... more

We booked this hotel because we were taking the bar exam across the street and heard it was nice. OH MY LORD.....it was the nastiest place I have ever been in- I didn't even stay the night- my things never left the dolly. The carpets look like someone DIED on them, the bedding had holes, stains, etc., the wallpaper was... more

Stayed at the hotel for 1 night. Staff very attentive and helpful. Had a room overlooking the pool. It was a large room and very nice. Used the pool but either debris had gone into it after it had been cleaned, or it hadn't been cleaned. It was late in the day when it was used. Gym was OK. Rate... more

I'm surprised at negative reviews...I travel 40 States and the E-W was comfortable. Yes it is an older hotel, but I'd rate the actual customer service as "excellent." As an onsite meeting manager I can attest...this staff's attitude and guest relations is excellent and (personally) the pillows are down and the shower will wonderfully drown you...I didn't realize I was... more

My husband and I routinely stay at the Walthall and are always satisfied. Admittedly, this place is not new, but it is extremely comfortable, has a great pool, nice fitness room, great bar and restaurant and a staff that will bend over backwards for you. It also has something that is really hard to come by these days: a feel... more

The Edison was probably pretty nice at one time, but I wouldn't reccommend a stay here now. Rooms are more motel than hotel like and had a bit of an odor. Although most of the staff was very accomodating (the front desk manager drove the three of us to a restaraunt in his personal car as part of their "shuttle... more

I wish I could give a rating of "0". Hotel was in terrible condition. Upon arrival in the room, the windows were open with the A/C on because of the room's awful smell. There were holes in the bedding. Carpet was stained throughout. Housekeeping service did not take place on the first day. When towels were requested, the response was... more

A friendly, old-style hotel in downtown Jackson. Especially convenient to the arts complex that houses the Mississippi Art Museum, which is only a quick walk across a parking lot. Really comfy beds and down pillows. Good restaurant -- avoid the fettucine Alfredo, which has dried spices sprinkled on top -- but enjoy the breakfast buffet, or for pure heaven order... more

Well - despite reading some of the bad reviews, I decided to stay at this hotel since it was the most convenient in terms of location. When I first checked in, I was given a room that was terrible. Basically, something I would expect if I stayed in a motel. The entrance to the room was from the outside (like... more
