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 The room was extremely outdated with stained carpet, dusty chairs, and a light that sometimes worked in the bathroom.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.

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.

this historic hotel is great for a quiet stay, so keep that in mind. rooms were very clean. queen bed no so comfortable. air conditioning units, very noisy. Amenities mention a "bar" but it is no longer there. Staff was great but we arrived about 2 pm and waited for someone to come to the front desk for about 5 mins. Not a bad place to stay unless you're picky. Breakfast was continental with bagged pastries, water, coffee. Not too many restaraunts nearby unless you walk about 1/2 mile. Hate to nag on this place but unless you are "needy" find another place to stay.

We found this property to be quaint and charming. Great downtown location with many restaurant options close by (there is not a restaurant in the hotel anymore). Room was a bit small but expected for a historic property. Staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful. Nice coffee selection available 24/7 in the lobby and the grab & go breakfast & snack was great!
