Beautiful property. In downtown walking distance to so many restaurants and shops. Has all the amenities you will need and more, including snacks and wine. They were nice enough to allow us to check in early since we arrived before check in time. Great communication and tons of information about the surrounding area included. Will definitely book again if we return to Natchez.
