This hotel was under construction during our stay, but that wasn't the worst of it. The hotel is in horrible shape, even with the construction going on. Our room was not cleaned, the airconditioning went out in the entire hotel--when we turned on the a/c, hot air came out--it was like that for at least 24 hours and there was... more

I've stayed here a number of time this past year. Maintenance was a bit iffy during the sale of the hotel. But the new owners seem to really have their act together and things are looking up. The A/C and elevators have been fixed and I can see the rolls of new carpet waiting to be laid. Rooms are decent... more

The Roberts Cos. soon will embark on the $10 million to... more

As previous reviewers have said, the hotel is beautiful in the lobby. However, when you arrive, the A/C for the entire first floor and parts of every other floor is out, and has been for a MONTH! The room was cool, but reminded me of a 50's Holiday Inn with all rooms facing the pool and very run down. We... more

I travel almost every month on Government business & have been doing so for 5-1/2 years. The Edison Walthall is one of my fondest memories, it was recommended to me by a coworker who worked in our Jackson office prior to transferring 3 years ago. I arrived on a Wednesday morning & stayed 2 nights. A new Chrysler 300 with... more

I had to stay here because I am a flight attendant and this is where our company lays us over. We absolutely can not stand this hotel --it is the worst one we have. It is so dirty --the wallpaper is peeling, the paint is coming off the wall, and the carpet is so, so stained. We are the only... more

I just got back from a conference at the hotel. Overall, it was an OK stay but there were some issues. First thing we noticed was the very tiny parking spaces. We were in a minivan and had a hard time fitting. Every third space had a pillar in the space and every level had at least 2 reserved parking... more

As I write this, I am sitting in my hotel room here at the Edison Walthall that has no air conditioning or heating. My room smells of mildew and old musty furniture and carpet. There are 2 lamps in my room that have no light bulbs. I have opened the windows so that I can breathe. There is no phone... more

Poor maintenance plagues the hotel. Checked in late at hotel to what looked like an almost empty hotel (2-3 cars in parking lot). Put in room in corner of hotel with window facing a wall, drapes held up by coat hangers, bathroom lights didn't work, shower curtain moldy, thermostat broken (couldn't adjust temp - so room was friged - opened... more
