The location was good. 15 mins to the main high street. We weren’t in the mansion. Stayed in Halpino. It was a good place to stay. Breakfast was just down the road at the mansion house. Lovely house where all the guests have breakfast in the dining room there. Beautifully presented silver wear old fashioned atmosphere. Then there is a guided talk about the history. Very good.

Air conditioning would have been good, but there was a fan. Luckily not really hot. The breakfast was a fruit cocktail, warm biscuits with butter and jelly. All lovely. Followed by a sausage quiche type thing and grits. I quite liked it but my husband is a little fussy and wasn’t keen. He would have liked egg and bacon. Sadly no toast, but good coffee and a lovely experience over all.

Great location right in the historic district. Halpino is very unique and that’s what we look for when we travel. The common areas still look like an 80’s law firm. The law books are so cool. I love how Duff Green gives guests all access to the house and they do the same with Halpino. Our room was very comfortable. The mattress and bedding were wonderful! It was very quiet and we couldn’t hear any other guests. The neighborhood is safe. It’s a typical historic district in Mississippi. Think Natchez or Laurel. You are safe. The off street parking area was great.

Need more than 2 towels for 2 adults. 4 would be more appropriate. The common area soda/water/coffee area needed restocking badly. The little attic access door in our room being unlocked was a little creepy. We didn’t go to breakfast because booking.com said it was included but our checkin text message said “If you paid for breakfast, please join us”. We didn’t want to show up for something we hadn’t paid for. It was confusing. We have stayed at Duff Green before and the reception we got at checkin as a Duff Green guest was much friendlier than it was as a guest at Halpino. The worker seemed annoyed that we were there honestly.

Location is superb - we loved Vicksburg! The history of the building and surrounding areas was fascinating. The staff at Duff Green Mansion were extremely friendly and helpful, breakfast was amazing, and to have use of the facilities - pool and grounds - made the trip. The price for all that we had was incredible. Car parking was free too, with easy access to the city center.

Air conditioning was slightly noisy and made bedroom too cold. Water supply nearer to the coffee machine would have been useful.

Feeling like going back in time

We were only there for one night but we had to put up with a noisy group who were sharing the property with us. They were partying until 3 in the morning even though we asked them to keep quiet. We sent two texts to the owners complaining but no action was taken. In fact we haven’t yet been contacted. Maybe the owners should have a rule about keeping quiet after a certain time.

Halpino is a small guest-house, located in an historic building that used to house law offices. The rooms are all named and themed after writers from Mississippi, a cute touch. The building is lovely, comfortable beds, nice shower, free coffee facilities on site. It's a short walk to downtown. Halpino is run by the owners of one of Vicksburg's most historic houses, the Duff Green Mansion. I'm not sure if it is just an off-season perk, but our booking included breakfast at the Mansion and a tour of the building by the owner of both the Mansion and Halpino. She is a wonderful storyteller and her love for the house and Vicksburg were evident. The breakfast and the tour were a great experience. In summary, those wanting a more historic stay would probably stay at the Duff Green Mansion, and more budget travellers at Halpino. Both were great. I'd stay here again.

Halpino is located in the historic district of Vickburg. The historic district is actually quite a run-down area, with many dilapidated houses, but it's not an unsafe area. Halpino is only 300 yards from the Duff Green Mansion and other historic homes.

The breakfast was good and servers very attentive. Our table always had lively conversation with folks from many different places. It was an enjoyable experience and added another dimension to our vacation.

A little more time at breakfast would have been better. I felt a bit rushed to finish so the table could be cleared and the history of the home could begin.

The property was well appointed and spotless. Situated on a quiet residential street about 0.5 km from the main mansion Duff Green where breakfast was served. Free parking. Breakfast was a real occasion, served at a set time in one sitting followed by a tour of the mansion house.

The bed was really high in the John Grisham room. My husband said the room was the best we stayed in during our 3 week road trip but the I didn’t sleep so well. I guess it’s a matter of taste!

The house is in a nice place, in a very quiet street and well wooded. When getting inside, all furnitures and arts are in perfect harmony with everything. My room was awesome! All staffing was great doing their best to make me feel comfortable. Breakfast was at Duff Green Mansion, a block away from Halpino and I felt back in old luxury times. After breakfast, We all had a free guide through the mansion’s history and Vicksburg. I want to give a special thanks to the Duff’s Green Mansion manager and guide, who unfortunately I forgot her name. Forgive me for that.

Maybe owners could improve communication to the first timers visitors regarding the place to have breakfast, leaving this information in the room.

Set in the historic part of town this is fabulous. The accommodation is very stylish, smart, and everything works as it should. Breakfast is served in the nearby and remarkable Duff Green mansion. Breakfast menu varies daily, we had bacon and eggs, and it was excellent, and great to chat to other guests while enjoying being served food rather than getting round a buffet, this feature of bed and breakfast over a hotel is really worth tracking them down for. The icing on the cake was a fascinating insight to the Mansion by Harley the current owner, which was superb. If you visit the memorial park prior to the tour it will help contextualise this. Location is handy for some good eating places, an easier walk down than back up perhaps but saves driving

Nothing really, would certainly stay here again if was in Vicksburg

The breakfast was great everyday. The staff was very accommodating. Walking distance to downtown. Loved the tour of the Duff Green Mansion. Our host, Harley was very gracious and supplied what was missing in a very timely manner.

There was no ice in the icemaker, there needs to be another end table or desk to put things on. There were no hangers although the staff supplied when we asked. The comforter appeared stained in spots. The vanity coating was rubbing off when I wiped down with a tissue.
