We had an an amazing stay in a comfortable room with a balcony right in the middle of downtown. The room had an individual feel to it, not cookie cutter design like other hotel rooms, and had all the amenities we needed. I highly recommend Hotel Chester!

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.

Needs pressure washing and updating
It was just a quick overnight stay. When we pulled up, I was very concerned, it was advertised as an updated hotel but the exterior is in dire need of pressure washing and paint. It was also a little cluttered looking with old plants and chairs. You could tell at one time it has been updated, but not in the past decade or so

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!

Checkin was very welcoming and easy. I knew this was an older hotel (built in 1925), so keeping that in mind, the features were antique with the time period. We stayed in a king Cabana room and it reminded me of my grandmas house. It was quaint. Bathroom tiny. The bed was comfy, nice towels and the room was clean. Would stay here again.

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