The Beiderbecke Inn has four rooms used as the Bed and Breakfast. A full breakfast comes with the room.

The room that we stayed in was called Mississippi Rose. We chose it because it has a private, outdoor veranda with a view of the Mississippi River. It also has a Queen-sized bed, a working fireplace, a Sitting Porch with a view of the Mississippi River, and a Bath with antique claw foot tub/shower. It was a quite large room with a large closet, beautiful furniture, and a very comfortable bed. It cost $95.00 plus tax per night.

Because we were the only customers on that Friday night in May, we were able to see all the other rooms:

The Victorian Room was the most expensive room at $105 plus tax per night. It has an antique queen-sized bed, a working fireplace, and a bath with Jacuzzi tub and shower.

The Tower Room has a hexagon turret, which makes it quite unique. It also has an antique queen-sized bed, a working fireplace, and a bath with shower.

The smallest room available is called the Bix Room and it cost $85 plus tax per night. It has a Brass Double Bed and a Bath with shower. It would be good for a single occupant. Note, it is the only room with a double rather than a queen bed.

Unique Qualities: Because we were the only guests, we were able to wander through all the rooms and take photographs. Below is a description of each photograph.

Photographs:

1. Our room, Mississippi Rose. Note that it is Rose in color and has beautiful wall paper.

2. Victorian Room has a beautiful antique queen-sized bedroom set and frilly curtains.

3. The Tower Room makes use of the unique hexagon turret.

4. The Bix Room is a small room with a lovely brass double bed.

5. Another photo of the Tower Room to show the gorgeous antique bed.


The love and hard work that has gone into The Beiderbecke Inn is quite evident.

During the Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Jazz Festival brings a multitude of Jazz enthusiasts to Davenport, and The Beiderbecke Inn is always booked at least a year in advance. People are eager to see where Bix's grandparents lived.
