It is a beautiful historic hotel. Because of this, the bathroom was extremely small and the air conditioning was not great. When it was on, it was cold. When it shut off, it was hot. But it isn't "central" air conditioning like most of us are used to. Although the bed itself was comfortable, the bedding was not. The material the sheets were made of was just too warm feeling. Between the air temp when the air conditioner shut off and the "warm" sheets, we did not sleep well at all.

We booked a veranda room. The staff was very polite and nice. The room was extremely outdated with stained carpet, dusty chairs, and a light that sometimes worked in the bathroom. It was very loud due to being on the "veranda" which really just meant it was on the walkway to the roof with all the air conditioner systems. The fridge had long hair in it and some leftover Miller Lites. The air conditioner in the room was very loud also. No curtains were provided in the room, only plantation blinds. We felt very exposed to people walking by as a result. The bed was soft which is probably good for some people. We had to park on the road and carry our luggage to the hotel. The door did not have handicap access so holding the door open and dragging luggage in simultaneously was cumbersome. Also carrying the luggage up the stairs from the elevator to the veranda entrance was less than ideal. I thought the hotel was no pet, no smoking, but there was an ash tray on the table right outside of our room on the "veranda", and the owner had his dog inside the hotel and outside at times. When it was inside, it growled at us which was disconcerting. We would stay here again if needed, but it would not be our first choice.

Ok but not again
It seemed over rated. The old building charm is always a delight to us. But the carpet was old and not inviting. The bathroom was clean but do very small. The sheets had been laundered but were spotted. 😕 We happened to hit a parking spot right in front but the back seemed a little hard to operate to and from. Packaged muffins for breakfast. All prices were up but it seemed overpriced to us. Wouldn’t stay again.

The hotel was awesome for it's age. We stayed in room 301 and it room was very comfortable along with the bed. The only negative was it seemedlike the shower leaked on the floor really bad and the mat got soaked.

Right downtown
Convenient location downtown in an old-fashioned hotel with decades-old furnishings. The room itself was nice but no housekeeping during our stay and close to loud college party bars.

Location downtown was really good. Parking not so great but there was public parking within walking distance. No breakfast but great local cafe just up the street. No bar. Room arrangement not the best and could use a little updating. All in all ok.

This is our favorite place to stay in Starkville, feels like home. I do wish they had a wine reception in the evenings.

This is a beautiful, old hotel, and we were excited to stay there after watching the show where Gordon Ramsey redid the rooms and restaurant. But sadly, it seems to have gotten a little run down and definitely needs some work done. The restaurant had also closed, which was a disappointment. It is a very nice hotel, and is convenient to shopping and restaurants, but I'm not sure I'd stay there again unless some updating is done.

Overall, the service, cleanliness, accommodations were fine, but the place just needs an update. The hotel has a 1989 vibe; but again, the bed was comfortable & the central location was very convenient & the room rate very fair.

It was an old hotel so it had its kinks. It’s clean, it’s just old. I was in a cabana room and I don’t suggest staying there. The owner was so nice. I’d stay here again but not my first choice.
