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

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!

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.

Room was clean (from bedding, towels, carpet and furniture).
Only negative was the A/C … it’s very loud .. but I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
