We stayed here for nostalgia and convenience to downtown. We forgot that restaurant schedules vary during Spring Break! Was surprised the front desk staff didn't consider that when suggesting places to eat. No big deal, we discovered Restaurant Tyler, a charming place down the block,.
The only issue with The Hotel Chester was a very loud AC unit in our room

Disliked: Staff & service
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.
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!
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!
We ere visiting Starkville for the first time and needed a place for 1 night. This was a great spot to rest and crash for the night. The staff was very considerate and responsive and the room was simple and elegant. We will definitely stay here again if back in Starkville.
