Monmouth Historic Inn

What a wonderful historic inn that dates back to 1818. We spent three nights here and enjoyed the friendly staff at the front desk, enjoyed the very friendly staff in the Garden restaurant that served breakfast each morning. The grounds are beautiful. We loved sitting on our front porch that overlooked one of the two ponds. Don’t miss eating at their 5star restaurant 1818. Would stay here again when we return to Natchez.

We had a perfect stay at this nice hotel. The rooms are beautiful in old southern style. The surrounding parc and courtyard is beautiful. The staff were very friendly at check in and during the breakfast. I would really recommend staying at this hotel.

What a dump! Room was $300 a night. It was dingy and poorly maintained. Towels were tattered and many had makeup stains. Carpet was frayed and dirty. Walls looked like they were melting. None of the doors would stay closed unless they were locked. It was awful and I am writing this to warn others not to fall for their hype like I did. It really put a dark cloud over our 4 night stay in Natchez.

My husband & I had a great time at Monmouth. We stayed in the Pond cottages. Sat on the rockers on the front porch and enjoyed the pond, birds and all the flowering azaleas. The staff was so nice and helpful. The rooms were very clean and the breakfasts were delicious! We will stay there again.

A romantic getaway for 2 was only saved by the breakfast with Mary & Michelle the two mornings we were there other wise, I would have given this place a 0 star. We stayed in a Deluxe Suite Rm 35 for 2 nights. We were greeted at our room with the smell of mold that we discovered was indeed mold on the walls, the ceiling, the doorways, the floor. The room looked nothing like the website photos and far from luxury as advertised. Only luxury in our room was the jetted tub that worked but the floors would collect water from the leaky shower. The floors felt very weak in areas and I thought for sure one wrong step we were going thru the floor. Curtains were barely hanging when we arrived and lots of cobwebs to keep you company while you sit in a room with basic cable on a tv stand that was close to falling apart. The Restaurant 1818 - our waiter George was amazing, attentive and sweet. The broccoli soup was delicious (thankfully) cause everything after that appetizer was far from edible. We both ordered Filet Mignon medium served with 3 sticks of asparagus and a small scoop of mashed potatoes for $54 each. The filet was the toughest cut of meat I’ve ever tried to cut and once cut it didn’t taste anything close to beef. It had a distinct “cheap” cut of meat flavor. George was so kind and tried to make the situation better but it wasn’t his fault and we left hungry. All of the steps, bricks, and walkways are VERY slippery when wet and no slip prevention measures are placed anywhere on steps or ramps to enter buildings. Thankful no one got hurt. The bar we so wanted to experience- every time we went no one was available to serve drinks. It appeared that during the evening hours the bar tender also assists with Restaurant as we never saw him but drinks were coming to the dinning area. The room and hotel advertised online is not what you receive if you are expecting luxury with history mixed or a 5 star dinner as advertised. 5 star Restaurant was advertised but no dress code enforced, cold premade biscuits like at Red Lobster…could go on and on - only the staff is 5 star. I am thankful for a husband that makes every day special and found a way to laugh at the experience and did enjoy the history lesson from the tour Michael gave.
