Sparta Vacations from $443

Had trouble checking in. Original room the bed wasn't made and the cabinets were in the middle of the room. Assigned another room, but only had 1 bed instead of 2. Third room was OK. When we checked out and got 50 miles away, wife couldn't find her purse. Called the hotel and they searched the room and found it in the drawer and called me back. We were back and got it 👍. Really appreciate it and the kindness shown 🙏.

This felt more like a bed and breakfast. There are very few guests and very few people on staff. And we loved it and will be returning! The downside: We were somewhat skeptical when we arrived late at night and didn't see any other cars. You have to drive around the old high school to find the hotel rooms and even still there were only 2 or 3 cars. My kid said, "Mom where did you find this place??" But that's because this is an event venue and there wasn't an event going on when we were there. There are only 17 rooms and when we were there only 6 were occupied. The location is an odd combination of business offices that sell wildlife cameras and wild pig traps (seriously), event meeting rooms, and lovely little hotel rooms - that have all been converted from a high school. The upside: Despite all of that, once the sun rose and we got the lay of the land and met the staff in the breakfast room, we loved it! The food was delicious. The rooms were really lovely, super comfy beds and beautifully decorated, not standard hotel furniture. The staff communicated with us throughout our stay via text messages and were super sweet. We will be returning to The Tangerine on future visits to Starkville to see our son who is an MSU student!
