Edwardian Inn

Not well run. I stayed in Room 8, which is upstairs, and you have to go outside on the second floor across a deck to get to the room. There are no stairs going to the ground. Upon leaving for work the next morning, the door from the deck back into the main house was locked from the inside....I was locked out of the house and trapped on the deck or in my room. I knocked on the locked door...nothing. I called the Edwardian Inn....no answer, so I left a detailed message. No response or call back for a few minutes. I tried my room key on the locked door....did not fit or unlock. I called the Edwardian Inn again, and pressed 2 for "if you are a current guest and have an emergency, press 2"....still no answer. I looked for a way to climb down from the deck, there was none. I could however climb over the deck rails onto the roof of the 1st floor above the dining room, so that I could bang on the roof and hopefully get someone's attention. Which I did. Finally, the owner came up and unlocked the door. However, he was NOT apologetic for me being locked and trapped. In fact, the opposite, he said he "didn't appreciate" me banging on the roof, as if it was my fault he did not answer his phone, nor the emergency number, nor did he have the room 8 key keyed to fit both doors, nor did he have a note on the locked door saying "please do no lock this door". |He has a lot to learn about the hospitality industry and customer service. The phone has never been answered when I called to make the reservation, to find out about the check-in process, or any other time. Always goes to voicemail.|Otherwise, the room was OK. AC worked (it is July), parking was good. I did not get to try the breakfast...had to leave for work at 7:00 a.m. You should not stay in room 8 until they get the "lock out" problem fixed.

I’m from West Helena and i don’t get to stay in many places outside of my grandmothers home whenever i visit but this time, due to so many people at her home, we decided to find somewhere else to stay. The Edwardian Inn was GREAT! I love the Victorian style rooms and the wood? I was in LOVE. Ive already told my grandmother that I’ll be staying there again when i come home. Thank you so much for your service!

Wonderful place to stay anytime! Beautiful architecture suggesting golden age wealth (you could spend a half day admiring the Inn itself). Stayed with my partner in room 10 which was opulent. All good prices I’d say. Everything was comfortable- service, rooms and beds, parking, breakfast. The town has a surprisingly great museum (delta cultural center), pleasant downtown and riverwalk. It’s also nearby to Clarksdale/the Mississippi blues trail, and not far from Memphis. Wes was a great innkeeper and it looks and sounds like the current owners are too. I would 100% recommend&return with more people.

We loved our stay at the Edwardian Inn. The inn itself is so beautiful with all of the woodwork. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. The owners are friendly and the food was delicious. Just be aware that this is an old house so there is no elevator. It’s part of the charm, but if your bag is overloaded, you might not feel that way.

The Edwardian Inn is the best and possibly the only good thing about Helena, currently. This was a one-night stop for us on a Great River Road Trip. The Inn is beautiful and the couple who own it are charming. The room and bed were comfortable and suited our one-night needs. I can't imagine what one would do in Helena for more than a night as most of the town is desolate. Fortunately, the Inn serves a delicious breakfast because restaurants in the area are few. I do hope the town sees some sort of revival in the future. I would imagine the October Blues Festival is a good shot in the arm for any business that is still operating.

I slept in #5, The William A. Short room, named after the original owner. It was clean and comfortable, and I got a good night's sleep. Staying there was one of the best features of my brief visit to Helena. ||But the highlight was breakfast with the young, attractive couple who own and manage the place. We had an engaging conversation for an hour or two about a variety of topics. I know a little about a lot of things, and now I know something about travel in Southeast Asia and detassling corn.||I'm not a big fan of B&Bs, especially those in old buildings. This was the nicest one ever. Two small negatives. I saw some ladybugs on the wall above the mirror in my bathroom as I was getting ready for bed. They're harmless, no big deal to me. And there was the sound of machinery from across the road. Steady, not very loud, white noise. But, like the ladybugs, some may object.

What an incredibly lovely historic Inn! The rooms were clean, beautiful linens, great hospitality and delicious complimentary breakfast made to order. It's quiet and elegant. The poor town of Helena is a disappearing DELTA town all but gone and I hope a miracle can save it. The MS River State Park nearby is incredible!

Seeing the sites we stayed the night and are glad we did. One dog friendly room with it's own deck/balcony. Another room for our adult grandson also. The host was pleasant and helpful. Brekkie was extra good. There three choices. I'm not certain there was caffeine in the coffee. Recommend

AMAZING!!! my husband and I stayed in the General Tappen room. We where so so impressed with this glorious B&B. You can absolutely tell how much care and detail has gone into this by the owners. Such a warm welcoming place to stay, we will definitely be back! The breakfast was SO good!!

This was my first time back in Helena in 27 years. Frankly, I was concerned; I'd heard that the town had taken a rough turn -- and frankly it had. If there's criticism to be leveled at the Edwardian it's about its neighborhood: not exactly walkable, and while close to some nice, local attractions, it's also close to a very rundown downtown. Still, everywhere I went the people were (still) incredibly friendly, and even optimistic about their town. But the Edwardian itself is only better than I remember it. What a rich, authentic-seeming experience. The place literally smells good. And the people are very friendly (but not in-your-face friendly, like some B&Bs), and my room was finely appointed with both old-school furnishings and modern amenities. I'm very happy that life is taking me back to Helena -- in large part because I can keep coming back to the Edwardian.

Great place to stay in the area--beautiful old home (1904) well maintained and clean. Tasty breakfasts and friendly proprietor. Highly recommend this place.

FABULOUS. Wonderful owners and beautiful accommodations. When I can't stay with relatives for free, I'll be happy to pay to stay at the Edwardian. Delicious homemade breakfasts...puts any other to shame. We had other family there and we booked the 3rd floor which has two bedrooms and a common area. Perfect for our kids to play without disturbing other guests. I will not hesitate to recommend the Edwardian Inn to anyone requiring accommodations within an hour's drive. It's absolutely worth it.

My husband is from Helena and I've been coming to the town for the last 25 years and while I'd seen the Inn for years, we never had the need to stay with anyone except family. This time we came with 3 of our 5 sons and all I can say is WOW. It was everything I'd hope for in a BNB. The house was spectacular and really transported me back to the turn of the century. All the rooms were large and well appointed with everything we needed. I'm luvin' my new friends Amber and Joel, owners. You can really feel their passion for what they do. Big hugs to Tammy, the housekeeper for keeping us well stocked with fresh towels and anything else we needed. The icing on the cake was the gift shop that featured made to order Bath and Body products (Bath Junkie). They were a bit pricier than what you can buy in a store but the fact that you can customize your scents and colors in each product made it a fun splurge. I think I'm going to have a problem with family when I come to Helena and I'm staying at the Edwardian and not with the family. LOVED LOVED LOVED it! Did I say I LOVED it?

.Stayed during Sunflower Blues and Gospel Festival In Clarksdale MS. Have to admit it's a bit of a ride to Clarksdale, but well worth it. For those who have not been to "The Delta" you may be surprised at how depressed to area is overall. So many closed and abandoned businesses and homes. The Edwardian is a survivor. Built early 1900 it has the charm of days gone by.There is so much history to this area it warrants exploration. It's Civil War, Cotton, Mississippi River,and for me it's "Blues" ties. The accommodations are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is worth the stay alone

Had a great experience at the Inn when we were in town for a wedding. Even though it was over 80 outside, our room on the top floor was comfortable with options to help with the temperature. Overall great experience and would highly recommend for those interested in visiting the area!

BEST hotel in the area. Prices are excellent, very generous and courteous owners attending all your needs. The room was wonderful, super clean and a comfortable bed. Can't forget about the delicious breakfast they offer. This establishment is worth every penny!

My husband, daughter, and I stayed here for 2 days while my husband was coming for a job interview. I really loved this house and the room we stayed in. Very antique and rustic feel, not like your modern bed and breakfast. The owners were extremely nice and so were their dogs lol They made a nice breakfast every morning with a lot of options. I would def recommend staying here if you ever stop in this town.

Multiple stays, and will continue to frequent this establishment. Joel & Amber (and their two dalmatians) are excellent hosts. As usual, weren't any problems. Great place to stay - comfortable beds, exceptional breakfast, wonderful atmosphere! Highly recommend.

Beautiful place , older home with charm . super clean , warm rooms with private baths . The owners are wonderful hosts and they have 2 loving dogs . Breakfast was wonderful . The area is limited on restaurant choices , but there are a couple .

AWESOME place to stay. Definitely a much see!!! Owners were warm and inviting with two lovely well behaved Dalmatians. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Large breakfast selection with anything you could want and the owner makes a HUGE delicious breakfast dish. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Awesome! Beautiful old home. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The mattress in room 2 was perfect. I haven't slept that well without pain in a long time. Breakfast was very good. The woodwork in this old mansion is incredible. We've found a new stopping point for our cross country travels. Wait until you meet Ava and Bogart, they will greet you at the door and be your best friends. Wonderful place to stay!
