“Nice Surprise in Jackson, Just a Few Suggestions”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I wasn't really expecting much in a small town like Jackson, but I was pleasantly surprised at the Fairview Inn. It's a beautiful historical home near Baptist Hospital. They have the main house and a new addition which was built in 2000. I stayed in the new addition in the Spanish Suite. The room is very large with a separate sitting area and large bath with jacuzzi tub and separate shower. My only complaint about the room, which left me hoping that the other rooms didn't follow suit, was that the baseboards were extremely dusty and when I looked behind the headboard, I saw things from previous guests that unnerved me a bit. I would say that it's time to paint the trim in the room or at least the baseboards. I'm kind of a stickler for shower grout being white and not showing any dirt or stains, and I was disappointed to see that this shower didn't pass the grade, and the grout on the floor in particular, needed serious cleaning or regrouting. The bathroom blinds were missing their wand so to get them shut I had to use the hook that the wand should have been attached to. The top sheet on the bed was stained but other than that, the bed was very comfortable.

I simply think that it is time for a touch up on the room. But don't misunderstand, it was basically a lovely little Inn and the staff was very kind. I had a wonderful meal in the restaurant and my server was a charming woman who took excellent care of me. My scallops were done perfectly and the vegetables were the perfect blend of crisp but not undercooked. They have a nice selection of wines and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

They serve a full breakfast and can accommodate any dietary requests. They have a nice tea and coffee area where there is always a selection of cookies and a cake.

All in all a very pleasant surprise in Jackson. I would just suggest a more extensive approach to cleaning.

Room Tip: The suites are quite large and most have a separate small tv/sitting area. I would suggest the new...

“One of a Kind Southern Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

Again as each of the three previous visits to the Fairview Inn, absolutely superb. From the first experience walking through the front doors of this stately southern mansion to opening the door of your room or suite, the Fairview Inn will touch your heart. Each of the rooms and suites are unique with comfort and style that says relax and enjoy our southern hospitality. Food service at Sophia's whether for a special occasion or lunch or dinner continues the theme of old southern style and grace. You will find the food superb and the staff ever attentive to your needs. Enjoy your stay. You can be sure I will return once again in the near future.

“A Wonderful Inn in Jackson, Mississippi”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We found the Fairview Inn to be one of the very best we have stayed in. A handsome old structure with classic Mississippi architecture and spacious accomodations. Sophia's Restaurant is on the property and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner on white tablecloths with real silver tableware, fine china, and crystal. You won't regret a decision to stay overnight or to just drop in for a meal.

“5 star all the way”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011

The inn is great with many unique suites, each with it's own character. You can see them on line and choose the suite you want. From 3 room Exec suite to the 14' ceiling honeymoon suite all are a great experience. On this trip, I was a bit disappointed to get the garden suite, when I saw the smallish sitting room. Then I saw the 20x20 bathroom with the 4' wide jacusi tub. My wife loved it, and the small sitting room with the working fireplace was great as well. A wonderful experience with a great staff.

“"The Help" Package -- Southern Hospitality!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

We bought "The Help" package and drove the self-guided tour around Jackson. The service was exceptional, food was delicious, and we were given extras galore. From the garden to the library, our trip was relaxing and very enjoyable! Even though they had a wedding taking place, we still got very good, personalized service.
