Halpino

Quiet stay in Vicksburg Room was quiet and comfortable, though the air conditioning was cold and seemed to only be controlled by the main controller in the main hallway of the house. No check-in staff on site as instructions are given via SMS, but a near-by B&B does have a reception to help you if needed, as we did. Breakfast is a three-course affair in the Duff Green Mansion, a short walk down the street.

We recently stayed at the Halpino during a trip through Mississippi. It did not live up to our expectations. The room (Madam Walker) was small & lacked a closet. There were no soft drinks or water in the lobby when we arrived as stated on the website.. I later found bottled water in the hall utility closet. I did ask & got an ice chest as the small icemaker in the lobby provided a minimal amount of ice & you needed to add bottled water to make it. I will say that the bed was comfortable, & the shower was good. There was an electronic lock on the front door & guests were asked to lock it ; but it was always unlocked when we returned to the house or in the 2 mornings of our stay; It made me feel uncomfortable for the house to be unlocked as there was no staff present. Breakfast in the main house (about 1 block away) was served at 8:30 in their dining room & the food was okay.. The Duff-Green house was lovely & the wait staff was friendly. All in all, it was not a great experience for us.

Good place. Generally nice. We had a smaller room. The AC was a bit weak. Breakfast at Duff Green was great as was the short tour afterwards.
