Natchez, Mississippi Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Best feature was it is easy to walk to surrounding locations. Very good breakfast.

Natchez Manor was started as a high end boutique hotel, but changed hands. New owners have not changed a word on the website, which promises a restaurant, 1200 thread count linens, regular service and turn down daily, etc. Reality: No restaurant, polyester blend sheets that don't fit the bed at all, NO daily maid service at all (make your own bed, go to desk to ask for fresh towels, complimentary breakfast which is microwaved and very slow, no tea, sliced white bread toast. There is a roof top terrace which is dirty and sports not a single plant. The people who run the place are very nice and very pleasant, but the rooms are quite expensive for the small town and offer no amenities worth mentioning.

Felt like we had some insight into life in Natchez in the 19th century, except with running water and AC! In May, Natchez has their music festival. On Saturday May 18th, there was a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta "HMS Pinafore". We love G&S, so that is why we chose that weekend. We were not disappointed in the performance, or in our 3 night stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed stay at the Quest House. It was convenient to the downtown area with shops and restaurants. Our concierge was the best, Ross gave us many suggestions about where to go and was a delight with his stories. We will definitely stay there again.
