What Our Guests Say
Darian Elliott
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.

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!
