Halpino

Mar 31st, 2024

Fun and unique place. Staff is great! Overall pretty clean - only minor complaintsno trash can in main part of room, had to go to bathroom for that. Shower had one corner with some hair. And no shower door or long partition so its easy to splash around and get water on the bathroom floor. Wouldnt mind staying again and seeing a different room. :)

Charming series of rooms affiliated with the Duff Green Mansion B&B located in former law office in historic Downtown Vicksburg. The large Madam CJ Walker room features a beautiful bathroom. Unfortunately the room does not have individual temperature control (only a central thermostat for entire building and all guest rooms). Further, there is no mini refrigerator, no microwave, no ice maker, and no coffee/tea maker, no closet, no wardrobe, no toiletries amenities etc. Lastly, the lighting includes overhead fluorescent light fixtures (including the carcassof a dead roach), reinforcing the former office history. So limited charm and functionality. The location is two hilly blocks from the Duff Green B&B and far removed from the old town shops and dining places. Lastly, the service from the B&B staff is underwhelming. BTW the complimentary breakfast not served until 8:39 am Disappointing

Halpino is a small guesthouse in renovated law offices. The rooms are all named after and themed after writers from Mississippi, and retain some decorations from legal offices, which is a nice touch. Rooms are nicely appointed, with comfortable beds and coffee facilities on site. It is owned and run by the owners of the Duff Green Mansion, also in Vicksburg. Halpino is located in the historic district of Vicksburg. This area is actually pretty run-down, with many dilapidated houses, but isn't unsafe. It is a short walk to downtown and 300 yards from the Duff Green Mansion. I'm not sure if it just an off-season perk, but our booking at Halpino included breakfast and a tour of the Duff Green Mansion, which was an unexpected bonus. The owner shared with us the history of the building, her passion for the buildings and for Vicksburg was evident. All of these inclusions made Halpino an unexpected delight. Most visitors I imagine would book the Duff Green Mansion, but Halpino is a great option if that is booked or for more budget travellers. I'd definitely stay here again if visiting Vicksburg.
