Located on the shore of the Yazoo River where it meets the "Mighty" Mississippi, the Mulberry (a Wyndham property) is near the "heart" of downtown Vicksburg. However, even though it's close to downtown and the riverfront, the views are a little more industrial rather than historical. However, you are just footsteps away from lots of restaurants and local attractions.
This is not the Ritz Carlton, so if that is what you are expecting, you will be in for a surprise. This is an old building. Three floors of this hotel have been converted into apartments., so I am guessing this is a form of steady income for the slow season. The walls in our room were painted concrete, therefore, it was a little "rough around the edges". However, our room was clean and the air conditioner was freezing cold, which I loved. You can crank down the thermostat down to 60 degrees and it will get there pretty quickly. The lobby was also very clean and there was a little nook with a pool table that we enjoyed,
The swimming pool was very enjoyable. The water was nice but they needed to strain it as it had some leaves at the bottom. Also, there was only one luggage cart that I saw and it was covered in pet hair as if someone gave their pet dog a ride on it. The rest of their carts were like laundry "wagons" and they are really not made for luggage.
I stand by my 3-star rating of good as "just barely" good. The front desk personnel were all very nice so if you are looking for a "plain" clean room at a good price, this may be a good place for you. read more
