Monmouth Historic Inn

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.

Wonderful short stay. The grounds are beautiful. The included breakfast with Michelle and Mary are the highlight. We felt so welcomed to breakfast! The best grits I’ve had. The restaurant for dinner was beautiful and the food was cooked beautifully.

My partner and I took her mother (93) to the Inn for a holiday present. We stayed in the old mansion. The rooms made us feel like we went back in time. The staff was exceptional. Dinner at the 1818 Restaurant was fabulous. The tour was informative.

This grand dame of a house atop a sweeping green welcomes you into another era, setting the mood for the Natchez historic experience. My small suite in the side cottage could not have been more charming, with beautiful furnishings and fabulous swag window treatments. The main house is stunning, and the evening dining just lovely. MY ONLY SUGGESTION: provide coffee and tea in the guest rooms with a Keurig or some sort of comparable set up.

Toured this beautiful residence last week. The decorations for Christmas surely highlighted this gorgeous mansion. Anytime of year would be nice to visit but we picked this time of year as we knew it would be exceedingly lovely, and it truly was. My husband is from Mississippi but I was a native New Yorker. (Yes, I have friends in MONMOUTH COUNTY, New Jersey). The wallpaper scenes of The Hudson River, West Point (appeared to be Trophy Point), and Niagra Falls were amazing. (I cannot recall the other features done in wallpaper, staff, if you would kindly remind me, I would appreciate it. Very happy that we were allowed to photograph within, not every place allowed it, as I love to reminisce with others and encourage them to visit. Definitely worth the trip... beautiful!
