Battlefield Inn, Vicksburg

The advertisiement sounded amazing and after a 18 hour drive we were tired and looking to sleep and shower, checking in the lady was very rude could tell she didn't like her job, the only good thing about this place was that it was pet friendly and no crazy fees to have a pet stay, driving around to find our room you could tell it was old but not too bad until we got to our room, it was filthy so bad we slept on top of the bed spread, we didn't even bother showering because there was a hole in the ceiling and to cover it up there was a paper towel shoved in it, dead bugs all in the window as well as bathroom, i high recommed going somewhere else, the hotel 6 next door looked better then this place, it was an absolute joke .

Not as bad as some of the other reviews. Yes, it did look a little run down; nothing some paint couldn't take care of. The free drinks were great, as was the breakfast. The only thing I might say against it was the fact that therer weren't locks on the doors going outside. Otherwise OK, the wife and I will be back.

Mike and I don't know why others didn't like this place. Right price, clean and quiet. We have stayed here several times and enjoyed our stay each time, including this one. The cocktails at night topped of 3 nice nights. I will admit that it is not the Ritz Carlton, but for the price what do you want. The breakfast could defintely use some variety but all 3 days it was filling and started the day off right. The night Manager was the bartender and very helpful.

There was pee on the toilet. The tub was black with dirt. There was so much nastiness in this room we left for a new motel knowing we could not get a refund but the room was so dirty we could not deal with sleeping there.

I do not recommend this hotel. When we checked into our room I found a dead bug in the bathroom, a lot of mildew on the shower curtain, bathtub a little dirty, found a pill on the carpet and it looked like the carpet had not been vacuumed very well. Made me wonder if the sheets were clearn. Breakfast was cold and drinks were warm. Probably the best thing was the friendly staff person our first evening and the happy hour. We were supposed to stay 2 nights but stayed 1, and went to a newer, cleaner hotel. Don't stay at the Battlefield Inn.

This was my 4th stay at the Battlefield Inn and my last. The room we had was next to the pool and very noisy. When I started to check out they had charged the credit card for 2 rooms and it took ages to get to fixed. Seeme like everyone that came up to the desk had a problem.

My daughter and I stayed here last spring and we had a wonderful time. The staff was excellent and treated both me and my daughter like family. Our room wasn't fancy but it was clean and we loved the evening cocktails ( Shirley Temples for her). The restaurant was great. Southern hospitality at it's best.

it was very charming The lobby was decorated in Southern style with lots of period looking pieces. the breakfast was so delicious and it was included in the price. I will stay there again when I visit Vicksburg, it was also near the Battlefield Park, Our experience was pleasant and the pool was also clean and sparkling......

COPY OF LETTER I WROTE TO THE BATTLEFIELD INN. Sorry to have to say it but you "don't got it all" any more. I've been staying at the Battlefield Inn approximately twice a year for many years. I missed last year so had no idea the Battlefield Inn had changed hands. Thursday night, October 02, 2008 I drove the dark streets of Mississippi, way past dark and much later then I usually drive before stopping for the night, determined to make it to the Battlefield Inn where I have always felt like I was "coming home" and where I was getting a nice clean room (perhaps a bit outdated but clean) at a reasonable price. The desk clerk always went out of her way to give me a room at the top of the stairs. When you are a woman traveling alone it is comforting to stay in a familiar place, with familiar, friendly faces. Radar and company was a delightful bonus. Imagine my surprise when I walked into my room and was greeted by a very sickening odor, never before have I detected an odor in any room I have stayed in at the Battlefield Inn. I then realized my room (which I have stayed in before) was dirty, looked like the doors had not been wiped free of handprints and smudges in forever and it did not close tight. The outside hall light shines right through. An obviously used wash cloth was left wadded up on the bathroom counter, a black hair in the sink , a dripping faucet, the bathroom floor that felt sticky under my feet and the general all over "seediness" told me "I had not come home". Had I not been so tired from pushing myself to get to the Battlefield Inn for the night I would have immediately checked out. The next morning I was greeted with yet another disappointment. All of the parrots were gone except Radar and he did not seem like his ole "spicy" self. I hate thinking about Radar there alone with out his "friends". I guess like they say, "all good things come to an end". Including the Battlefield's reasonable rates and polite southern hospitality ( I will say the ladies in the breakfast room were still very friendly and helpful). The Battlefield Inn had become a tradition for me. One I recommended to many travelers. I will not be back. I am sure it is not a lost to you but it is to me. One more piece of America sold out and lost to those of us who cherish it.

first room smelled terrible was dirty, they alow pets in the room,next room not much better had hole under door and lots of bugs,stayed anyway because it was late and was tired what a mistake.checked out early next day. staff was very rude.lots of other hotels for the same price that are alot cleaner and friendlier.
