Old Capitol Inn

Stayed in the honeymoon suite while we passed through Jackson on a roadtrip in May 2015. We made it just in time for the wine and cheese, and we enjoyed noshing and socializing with the other guests. Our room was extremely spacious and nicely-​appointed. I loved having a separate jacuzzi/​bath and shower, but, after turning on the jets, the jacuzzi bubbled up beige-​yellow bubbles/​film after a few minutes. The morning we left, we discovered the largest cockroach we’d ever seen dead on the bathroom floor. Still, if there had been more to do in the immediate area, we might’ve considered extending the stay. The breakfast featured the best grits I have ever had, bar none, and the grounds are pretty.

Very disappointed in this hotel. Our «suite» (6’x8’ LR?) was right on the front… so we were privy to every car or truck that rattled by, all night long. The remote control didn’t work… so we had to unplug the tv to turn it off! Toilet ran all night, safe was locked and wouldn’t open, and the coffee maker wouldn’t work! Staff was very nice, but we won’t be back!

What a cute little find! Great price… great location… cute hotel… much quainter than a chain! Our room 24 was small but delightful… no tub but great shower and cute balcony overlooking the garden and coi pond… the roof garden is awesome! Wish we could have spent more time here… ate dinner just around the corner at La Finestra which was also a fun find! Totally recommend this place… clean…service friendly and excellent! If you like character this is the place to stay!

Nice small B&B in downtown Jackson. Friendly staff. Every suite is different.

This place is beautiful. Great place for wedding and reception. Staff is great! Very friendly and helpful. Every room has its own theme.

Awesome and beautiful. It was a pleasant surprise! It’s décor is so upscale until it caused me to feel as if I was well-​to-​do just because I was able to stay there. Very affordable and the staff is friendly and welcoming.

Great Find!!! Great Location right off interstate 55. Stayed in the suit, very spacious and clean. Shower was wonderful. The breakfast was hot and good. We will stay here again.

YUM-​MEE! Shrimp and grits were absolutely amazing!

We were driving through Jackson on the way home to Austin and were lucky enough to get the last room available at this wonderful boutique hotel.
First off, the staff was super nice, gave great directions, and did not scoff at us at all when our very road-​worn butts clomped into the airy, lovely lobby. Our room in this former YWCA was small but clean and pretty, with a gigantic tv and a really big shower with the multiple heads pulsing you with road-​grime-​eliminating warmth and goodness.
After unloading our stuff and changing clothes, we were directed to a local restaurant and drank some Mississippi-​brewed beer (delicious) and stumbled back to our hotel. We were given glasses of wine by the delightful man on call (because we had missed the complimentary happy hour) and told to head up to the rooftop garden and enjoy the quiet. Everyone else in the hotel was already asleep I guess (it was maybe 1030?) and we were given free reign of the pool and hot tub. So so nice of them to offer. However, we just sat on the roof on some cozy lounge chairs got a little bit shitfaced and then hobbled off to bed. Slept like a rock on very cozy mattress and soft cotton sheets.
A big plus to the hotel were the tiny aveda products in the bathroom. So much nicer than that normal hotel goo.
Breakfast was self-​service: eggs, grits, sausage, fresh fruit (watermelon and other hand fruit), juice and coffee. There is a lovely dining room as well as seating on the patio. Delightful.
When traveling by car, sometimes it is worth it to drop an extra 30 bucks for a nice experience. Our room was $ 110. More than I usually like to spend on a quick overnight, but it turned out to be sooooo worth it.

my fiancé and i recently attended a wedding reception at the old capital inn. being in downtown jackson, i expected something old and stuffy. i was suprised by the space. it is an old hotel but they have furnished it so that is more like an upscale boutique hotel. they have a large sized room complete with stage where the reception was held. the room had a level of tables and chairs above – think like a new orleans style balcony in the french quarter. the room opened up into a small courtyard like area. it had a fountain and a small pond with a bridge and even some koi. the outside courtyard was scenic and relaxing. i cannot vouch for the rooms as we did not stay there. however, if you are going to have a wedding reception in the jackson, ms, area, then this is an excellent space to use.
