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!

Restful

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.

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.
