Top hotels in Downtown Jackson

The Westin Jackson
The bed was uncomfortable, the pool was freezing, the view out of our window was terrible. Couldn't use the spa no available appointments, even though i booked in advance. Way overpriced. Holiday inn was a lot better

Hilton Garden Inn Jackson Downtown
The hotel did not have clean towels which is absolutely terrible. The valet guy was sleeping when people were requesting their vehicles. Very low water pressure. I will never stay here again.
