Hotel Chester

The stay, overall, was great for the night! My only complaints are that the bathrooms are cramped for plus-size people like myself, and the parking is unclear unless you park on the street (if there's a space), otherwise, you have to drive around the block into a sketchy-looking driveway to reach a public parking lot. The walk from the lot to the hotel made me uneasy at night and there was limited lighting. The exterior walls didn't block out much street noise. The staff was very friendly and provided a bagged breakfast. I would stay here again if need be.

Older, historic boutique hotel; off-street parking or lot around the corner. No amenities on site but very close to restaurants in walking distance. Very convenient if visiting MSU campus. Bed soft and comfortable, good shower pressure and nice A/C temp regulation

Hotel Chester is right in the middle of downtown Starkville and walkable to downtown restaurants and the MSU campus. The rooms are dated, but clean and comfortable and were half the price of other options that were less convenient. The staff was friendly. I was not there during a busy time (middle of the week outside the school year), but there was amble parking by the hotel and no noise to speak of.

Great location, interesting history and atmosphere, but does not have dedicated parking. The restaurant is permanently closed.

It was a great location for the game on the MSU campus. The room temperature was great. You could feel the music from the dance club that was nearby (our room was on the third floor). We also parked in public parking overnight. I did enjoy the stay overall. Thank you!!

this historic hotel is great for a quiet stay, so keep that in mind. rooms were very clean. queen bed no so comfortable. air conditioning units, very noisy. Amenities mention a "bar" but it is no longer there. Staff was great but we arrived about 2 pm and waited for someone to come to the front desk for about 5 mins. Not a bad place to stay unless you're picky. Breakfast was continental with bagged pastries, water, coffee. Not too many restaraunts nearby unless you walk about 1/2 mile. Hate to nag on this place but unless you are "needy" find another place to stay.

Location downtown was really good. Parking not so great but there was public parking within walking distance. No breakfast but great local cafe just up the street. No bar. Room arrangement not the best and could use a little updating. All in all ok.

We live in Starkville and wanted a kid-free night out! Very clean, quiet and conveniently located to shops, restaurants, etc. There’s complimentary Keurig coffee 24/7 in lobby, and pastries provided in the morning. Great place to stay if you’re coming to Starkville.

The property has gone down a little in the last few years. No restaurant, beer garden closed and maintenance is sparse. It is a great location and the staff is excellent. All in all not a bad experience and a good price.

We found this property to be quaint and charming. Great downtown location with many restaurant options close by (there is not a restaurant in the hotel anymore). Room was a bit small but expected for a historic property. Staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful. Nice coffee selection available 24/7 in the lobby and the grab & go breakfast & snack was great!

Super clean and comfortable. Staff was ver welcoming and informative

We booked a veranda room. The staff was very polite and nice. The room was extremely outdated with stained carpet, dusty chairs, and a light that sometimes worked in the bathroom. It was very loud due to being on the "veranda" which really just meant it was on the walkway to the roof with all the air conditioner systems. The fridge had long hair in it and some leftover Miller Lites. The air conditioner in the room was very loud also. No curtains were provided in the room, only plantation blinds. We felt very exposed to people walking by as a result. The bed was soft which is probably good for some people. We had to park on the road and carry our luggage to the hotel. The door did not have handicap access so holding the door open and dragging luggage in simultaneously was cumbersome. Also carrying the luggage up the stairs from the elevator to the veranda entrance was less than ideal. I thought the hotel was no pet, no smoking, but there was an ash tray on the table right outside of our room on the "veranda", and the owner had his dog inside the hotel and outside at times. When it was inside, it growled at us which was disconcerting. We would stay here again if needed, but it would not be our first choice.

When we arrived, clerk tried to bump rate by almost 80 dollars above rate verified by Expedia. There was dried blood on comforter in room.

An older property, but obviously recently painted and refreshed. Everything was sparkling clean, and the beds were so comfortable! We enjoyed being right in the heart of Starkville, with several restaurants within walking distance. The hotel was so quiet, too. A great travel experience.

Over priced, poor air conditioning, cramped room, uncomfortable bed, grout on shower tile is dirty and stained, parking availability is not good, I will say that they tried to get the air working better, but it never did cool off. There was smoking area outside our original room and they were good enough to move us to an inside room, for an additional charge, I do not recommend this place

Bath tub had black spots and some of towels were torn!

Staff was extremely nice and room was clean

The bathroom was filthy, there was pink and black mold and mildew w on the shower tiles. The bathroom was so small that you had to squeeze into space between the toilet and tub/shower to close the door. I was in an unrenovated unit that didn’t look like it had been touched since the 70s. It was incredibly worn down.

Went here 2019 and now 2023. Never had problems with this hotel. The owner was very sweet and saw that I was traveling alone and instead of parking in the public parking, he told me the to park my car in the front of the building. I purchased a corner queen and the room is very small. My only complaint is that there was a clump of hair in the shower that was not mine and that the housekeeper didn’t pick up and the blow dryer for my room barely worked. Other than that my stay was perfect!

I love that the hotel is historic. The room was cute and comfortable. The only complaint I would have is our trash never got cleaned out

It is a beautiful historic hotel. Because of this, the bathroom was extremely small and the air conditioning was not great. When it was on, it was cold. When it shut off, it was hot. But it isn\'t "central" air conditioning like most of us are used to. Although the bed itself was comfortable, the bedding was not. The material the sheets were made of was just too warm feeling. Between the air temp when the air conditioner shut off and the "warm" sheets, we did not sleep well at all.

The air conditioner unit is IN THE WALLyour head in is very LOUD You can hear the next door unit. The FLOORS creek every time someone walks. The Hotel in on the corner of downtown the POLICE ran all night. VERY VERY NOISY AREA. STAFF NICE VERY CLEAN.

I love the older charm of the property. The beds are very comfortable. Bathroom is tiny-my only complaint.

Enjoyed our stay. The pull out bed, expected to not be comfortable, was in fact very uncomfortable. Perhaps a foam topper could help. Otherwise, great stay!

We love the character of the Hotel Chester. The location is convenient, and parking was no problem on the street. We had a view of the main street. It was nice to be able to regulate the temperature. The bathroom, though tiny, was just fine. In-room coffee is fine, but it\'s weak if you follow the instructions. Breakfast is a "grab-and-go bag" that includes water, raisins, granola bar, and Rice Krispy treat, but there were also bagged pastries available. Our only complaint was that the mattress was hard, overly firm, so our backs hurt. Otherwise, we recommend Hotel Chester. Personnel are all friendly and helpful.

Nice cosy room and clean. Bed and shower are clean and nice. Yet the aircondioning is very loud and backdated, therefore of no use during sleeping and there is no other ventilation. I got a terrible headache from it.

We loved the idea of a historic hotel right in downtown Starkville, but this brings historic to a new level. This hotel has some polish in the lobby, but the rooms are very outdated, musty, with limited ac. The Cabana Rooms have exterior doors right next to exterior emergency stairs that lead off the property to the Main Street. We will not be returning to this property.

Older hotel with a southern charm. Hotel was clean. Staff was friendly and warm. Air conditioner in room can be a little loud at times. Rooms was small but comfortable. No USB slots available for charging devices. I would recommend.

Historical nature is nice. Lobby area is lovely. “Cabana” King rooms are quite “dated “ and are accessible after crossing g through and up metal evacuation stairs to a balcony that o relooks the roof and rooftop equipment. Advertised “balcony” is a misnomer and is rather disappointing, These rooms should carry a significant discount.

Highly recommend! Met owner and his pup — both were nice! The young lady working the front desk was super sweet.

Really helpful front desk lady

Great staff that show tremendous pride in this old, grand hotel! Extremely helpful & truly concerned with their customers having a great experience while visiting Starkville!

It's a remodeled historic property so the layout is quirky. It's just a little off the beaten path but still close to the activity. Staff is always so nice and accommodating.

The comfort of the old hotel and the service were as good as anywhere that I have stayed. It's right in the heart of downtown Starkville with plenty of eating options and activities minutes away! Dave & Suki are phenomenal hosts and truly care about the customer's experience when staying at the Hotel Chester!

Extremely rude owner, blamed me for card machine problem. Have used card without any issue anywhere. And then began swearing at me. DO NOT STAY HERE.

More pictures of the history of the hotel from its beginning to present would be enjoyable. Great staff and centrally located.

Great location.

Staff friendly , but room very noisy due night club downstairs. Breakfast are muffins and bars

Cool boutique hotel close to the university and walkable to plenty of bars and restaurants

Convenient location downtown in an old-fashioned hotel with decades-old furnishings. The room itself was nice but no housekeeping during our stay and close to loud college party bars.

Great location!

Lovely little hotel in downtown Starkville with a friendly staff. Nice location to walk to local restaurants and bars.

Great hotel on the square in Starkville.

Great location, interesting history and atmosphere, but does not have dedicated parking. The restaurant is permanently closed.

This is a beautiful, old hotel, and we were excited to stay there after watching the show where Gordon Ramsey redid the rooms and restaurant. But sadly, it seems to have gotten a little run down and definitely needs some work done. The restaurant had also closed, which was a disappointment. It is a very nice hotel, and is convenient to shopping and restaurants, but I'm not sure I'd stay there again unless some updating is done.

Nice, old, comfortable hotel. Much more preferable to the chain hotels in town. I miss the restaurant.
