Hotel Chester

I’m struggling with this as I truly want to love this place due to its historical significance. The front desk staff was great! She assisted us with the TV and our check-in was sufficient, quick and easy. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were nice. But the rest….. this treasure badly needs some TLC. Even the basic of updates would help, but the owners really need to replace the tubs, bathroom hardware, blinds, and for the love, the CARPET. This is not a $150/night or more hotel. It could literally be so, very grand if some money was put back into it. This place has so much potential to be the most sought after hotel in the area.

King room single. The setup and room decoration was pretty basic. The king bed was comfortable, had good soft bedding and plenty of fluffy soft pillows. That was the best part. I noticed right off that my comforter and pillow cases hadn’t been changed from who had the room previously. (Small stains) 😷. Addressed this to the people at the front desk. They happily changed everything for me asap. The staff was nice and it was a quiet place. Except for the AC unit turning on and off through the might right beside me. The room has 3 windows all with levolor blinds and black out curtains. The two large windows let in plenty of natural light, but the view outside is horrendous. Nothing but a roof of the building next door. That was disappointing. The toiletries are the same you’d get from a hotel, for half the price. Yes, I’d stay again, but I would go for a less costly room.

Loved this place not like your usual hotels which I love has a homey feel to it. very nice people :) could do a little something more tho with decor maybe a little more modern but nothing fancy Love!

Love them. Keep it up. Not really too much to say. I just love family and hospitality. Only stayed here due to Ramsey. Give it a shot because I love family. And they proved me right. Great services great family food, and accommodations

I stayed one night at Hotel Chester in Starkville, Mississippi. I chose this hotel because it was just two blocks from the concert venue I was visiting. The two ladies I interacted with on separate occasions were polite and friendly; however, the rest of the stay left a lot to be desired. I sent an email to the hotel after my stay about these issues and since I received no response, I decided I should write a public review. I chose one of the upgraded Gordon Ramsey rooms simply because historic decor is not my thing and gives me an eery feeling (strange I know). The bedroom was fine other than mismatched nightstands. However, the bathroom was a different story. I regret that I did not take pictures to share. It was extremely dated, dingy, and dirty. The bathroom was not pictured in the listing of the more modern room for obvious reasons. The grout and caulking had pink and black stains and needed to be replaced, the toilet did not flush properly and the sink took forever to drain - you could brush your teeth and come back 15 min later and it was still draining. I was only there for a brief stay so there was no reason to address the issues; however, paying $192 for a room like this was laughable. In the morning there was a small table with bottled water and packaged muffins and pastries for the guests. I took my selections to-go. When I arrived at my next hotel, I opened the muffin and it was covered in green, fuzzy mold! I checked the expiration date and it had long since passed. I called the hotel to let them know so that others did not consume them and at that time, I also told the staff member about the plumbing problems. She thanked me and that is the last I heard from the hotel, despite my email voicing these concerns. I advise against staying at this hotel and would stay at one of the chain hotels about a mile away.

Worst experience ever!! Paid extra for a veranda view, which ended up being a rolled rubber roof. Also restaurant and bar are closed with no indication... then our A/C was not working when we returned for the evening. When we approached owner about the problem in 90+ degree temps, his response was.... "well you can check out"

My biggest complaint is that I accidently left my orthopedic pillow and a king size blanket in my room. And I spent a week trying to speak to a manager who stated no one could find them. I will never stay here again.

Loved the location right downtown. Free parking is great, and they had cute little self serve breakfast snack bags each day - bottle of water, muffin, and a few other things. They also have an amazing selection of coffee, tea, hot chocolate k-cups in the lobby as well as coffee in your room. All that was free too, so it was easy to make myself at home for the weekend. We were in town for a half marathon and the start line was just a block away - it was easy to walk to dinner the night before, lunch after the race and explore the town over the weekend. The room is similar to other historic hotels I've stayed in- clean but not the most modern furnishings. Mattress and pillows were comfy though, which is really all I need. Will absolutely stay again for the race next year!

Amazing stay. Great staff who made us feel very welcome. Amazing food, very delicious. I would never stay anywhere else when I’m in the area. Rooms are very comfortable, sheets felt great. After a long drive in we were greeted warmly and were able to settle in.
