I decided to take a few weeks to decide whether or not to leave a review on this location.

With that being said, I decided not to stay at this Inn due to the location. Right across the street from this "INN" are two fully barb wired locations. One is a company of some sorts, and the other is a police station. The surrounding area is what most would call the ghetto - couches on the porches filled with people giving threatening stares.

I hope you get the picture...

Now, the inn keeper was extremely polite when we were booking our reservation. I'm sure she provides people who can get past the apparent ghetto and threatening barbed wire with the best service known to man. However, given the location, I did not feel safe staying at this facility. When we tried to cancel, she mentioned that there was a cancellation provision in the contract, so we were SOL.

Provided that we couldn't get our money back when attempting to find a peaceful resolution with a now extremely hostile inn keeper, I decided to forfeit my $80+ and pay another $100 to stay somewhere else. I'd rather spend $100 to ensure the safety of myself and my belongings any day of the week. Don't stay here, flat out.

If you want authentic, historic and true blues history this is the place. Each room is a step back in time Jackson, MS style. The host was very kind and generous. She is very knowledgeable on the blues history. Jackson MS is well known for his rich history in Blues music. If you are looking for original Jackson history, or history of Mississippi, the Poindexter Inn is a lovely quaint inn with much history. The house itself is about 100 years old.

Personable host, with expert knowledge of city, particuarly the blues history and current music scene. Very accomodating. Basic amenities.
