Close proximity to Mississippi river; Classic vintage appearance with modern upgrades electrical, lighting, wi-fi... Was there for 3 days, the area is historic with many southern mansions and the Greenville train depot is across the street from hotel. Thinking one day the trains may run again along the Mississippi coastline.

The Skylight is located on the upper floor of a building that dates back to 1900. In other words, it isn't your typical cookie cutter place, and it has character. The staff were amazing, and the location was convenient to places I needed to go. The room was extremely clean, which I appreciate. If you love staying at quirky, locally-owned properties when traveling, this is a great option.

Very nice lady working the desk shared the history... built around 1900 as a 'lodging house' for travelers coming in from a rail depot that was located just across the street. It was quiet, on-street parking was ok. Located on 2nd floor, no elevator.

Fabulous room if you are into the off beat. Historic vibe with some modern amenities. The hostess was charming and showed iconic southern hospitality. I was a little put off parking on the street right in front of the hotel, but that was hot it was done 100 years ago and I have to say it was cool waling down from a second floor historic building to find my parked car waiting for me right at the hotel front door. A great place if you are doing anything in downtown Greenville. My only issue was that some lights in the bathroom and the one in the shower was burned out. A very minor inconvenience.

Had high hopes but was disappointed.

No elevator and the rooms are all on the second floor down one hallway. It was a clever use of an upstairs space, but the space is really old and still looks and feels like it. The bathroom was clean but I had concerns about the rest of the room.

This is a top notch property. The property is a small one so the owners have the ability to treat the facility and the guests with all of their attention and respect. While I was doing research about places to stay, I reached out to people I knew in the area. Two of my contacts told me they had done some remodeling work at the hotel and I'd truly be satisfied if I did choose this property. They were right! I loved staying here and after getting the grand tour of this 124 year old property from Calvin, the owner, I had even more respect for this historical place. The rooms were just right and very clean and I was always greeted and checked on to see if there was anything that I needed. I will always stay at this property when I'm home and they have rooms available. I think this place should be designated or registered as a Mississippi Historical Landmark.
