Holiday Inn Express & Suites Natchez South

We were really impressed. Super friendly staff. Clean, modern rooms. The pool is outdoors & the water is so nice that I took a swim for the 1st time in years. (I’m that picky about wanting warm water.) Great breakfast. We could literally walk everywhere in town from this hotel’s location. Or drive & be there in a minute. This town is my new favorite.

We arrived at this hotel early so unfortunately we didn’t get an upgrade but at least we could leave our bags and go sightseeing. We were a little concerned as our room was next to the 24/7 gym but Amy who checked us in said nobody uses it though the night WRONG!!! At 23hrs two lady’s went in and woke hubby with their talking etc. Breakfast was provided but as there was a coach load of students also staying at the hotel they’d got to the food and drinks etc first and nothing was refreshed.

Very friendly staff. Nice, clean room. Good location, close to river and Magnolias Grill is the place to eat--recommended by staff. Was on the 2nd floor so used the stairs several times--definitely needed a good vacuuming. Easy checkout.

We spent a few days here with family. The room was clean, staff very friendly. Our housekeeper went above to help us. My dad ended up going to the ER while here and we had to call 911. The front desk was helpful . The housekeeper helped clean the mess in our room even though I said just pass the gloves and I’ll do it. Very close to downtown and shops and food. Biscuits and blues is very good .

Do not book this hotel if you need Wifi access. Their signal is so weak you will not be able to use it on a laptop. I had my phone hooked up to it, but it wouldn't download a picture I was sent, so I had to get off the Wifi and just use my cell phone service. The picture came up instantly. The hotel staff was pretty obnoxious about it, too. I took my laptop to the front desk - twice - because I was told I didn't know how to connect. No apologies from the staff when it was shown that their Wifi wouldn't work for a laptop. Do not book hotel if you would like maid service. We were there 3 days and never saw a maid. Anywhere. You know how when you stay in a hotel you see maids working during the day? Not at this place. When we first checked in, our room with 2 queen beds had 1 towel, 1 washcloth, 2 hand towels and no bath mat. We had to go down to the desk and get extra towels. Do not book this hotel if you would like your key card to work. We had to have it re-activated every day during our 3 night stay. No apologies from the staff, either. Just excuses as to why it was happening. Do not book this hotel if you expect to have the breakfast pictured on their website. They had a pancake machine that didn't work. They had an oatmeal warming container with no oatmeal. (They did have a handful of raisins and some brown sugar sitting out for it, though) Like hot tea instead of coffee? Bring your own. They don't provide it. Like to be greeted by a friendly face when you first check in? Forget that. Eugene was almost rude when we checked in. I don't know why a hotel would hire a person this distant and cool to work the front desk. There are other options in Natchez besides this one. I suggest you explore those before you spend your money at the Holiday Inn Express.

I normally would have rated this hotel a 4 and I am not for one reason. Their pet policy. That do not set aside rooms for pets, they can stay in any room. We changed rooms three times, because of pet odors. Other than that, the hotel is fine. Everyone at the front desk was very helpful, the rooms are clean and modern. The hotel does have a great location, right at the top of the historic district.

The hotel is clean, the breakfast is very good, the staff is friendly and efficient, and it’s conveniently located. I thought the breakfast selection was extensive and delicious. We had a very pleasant stay.

We stayed here three nights while in Natchez for the Spring Pilgrimage. Nice clean hotel and a good location. Beds were comfy and a/c worked great. They do a free buffet breakfast each morning, with scrambled, eggs, cheese omelets, bacon/sausage, sweet rolls, pancakes, toast, bagels, fruit, juices and coffee. By far the largest free breakfast offerings of ANY hotel. Nice fitness room/small outdoor pool. My only issue is the lighting in the bathroom is very dim/low wattage for getting ready with make-up/hair, etc.
