"The service is impeccable; every staff member we encountered welcomed us with warm southern hospitality. The rooms are also wonderful and our room came with a beautiful view of the mighty Mississippi. We were greeted when we arrived with a glass of wine, and turn down service came with port wine and chocolates. I didn't think things could get better, and then we are at Paulettes. It was delicious. Our whole experience from beginning to end was wonderful and capped off one memorable weekend. This place is truly special."

"We loved everything about the property! I booked our stay on a whim, knowing nothing about the place and ended up discovering a gem! The rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable with thoughtful, luxurious amenities. The beds were feathery soft and the robes and towels nice and fluffy. The hotel staff members were warm and welcoming — always courteous with genuine smiles upon their faces. We really liked Karl, the general manager. He was a true gentleman and you could tell he enjoyed his job and took a great deal of pride in it."

"Breakfast at Paulette’s was divine with scrumptious gourmet pancakes, fluffy muffins and buttery croissants with butter and an assortment of jams. We also really appreciated the welcome wine as well as the turn down service with port and chocolates. They really thought of everything and the coffee service was excellent. I enjoyed it being right outside my room! We will definitely stay again in the future and are already planning our next trip."
