Please do not stay here. Drive to West Point or Columbus if it’s the only option left in Starkville. This was the filthiest hotel we’ve ever stayed in. Our room looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a decade. Toilet had a ring in the bowl and it wasn’t bolted to the floor. Dust/dirt/grime/who-knows-what clung to all surfaces, including the soap dispenser, which was empty. Coffee maker covered in filth, but here was no coffee available, so that worked out. Towels were stained. Roach was wandering around the room. Seriously. Do not spend your money here. A one-star rating feels generous.

The staff was very nice. I spoke to a front desk person that was very professional. And at check in we spoke to another employee, again very nice. The room 203 however was a whole other story. It was horrible. It was dirty all over. Meaning walls, floors, surface tops, tv had been cleaned it looked with a dirty rag or something. Not a single thing had been wiped down to be clean. There were stains, we don’t know exactly what, on side tables, furniture (chair and couch), & comforters. The sheets themselves we clean looking. The bottom of the door frame had been chewed on by a dog and in same door way there was a change in flooring and that entire door way had no transition piece..so another material. Toilet seemed clean but countertop was definitely dirty as well. I cleaned it and my Clorox wipe was brown. The window sills, door itself inside the room all dirty dirty dirty. We did go speak to the front desk and he was understanding and we got our deposit refunded and then I dealt with Expedia and again I was refunded. This is not a kind of room that should exist in America.

My CPAP filtered the air and I took it home and it had the same smell in it. I had to clean it thoroughly and replace the filters just from staying here. There were holes in the walls with bugs.

This hotel is horrific. Please don’t stay here. There are dangerous people lurking in the corners, even the front desk locks their reception door for fear of attack. The rooms are uninhabitable. Everything is old, dated and unappealing. The bathroom was worse. Stained tub, shower curtain and towels. The front door has no chain in place and the lock was so weak a single thud from the outside would break it down. The neighbourhood is so noisy. There were people having a barbecue right in front of the rooms at past 12 midnight and making loud noises. I had to leave I couldn’t stay. I can’t emphasize enough please do not stay here. I’m an avid traveller who hardly leaves reviews but I feel duty bound to let my fellow travellers know about how bad and unsafe this place is. It should be shut down.

Do NOT recommend!!!!

This was possibly the worst experience I have ever had. We arrived, and the lobby smelled bad. We got our key, but when we got to our room, the room was open and the lock was noticeably broken. The room had not been cleaned from the previous guests, trash was everywhere, and the bed wasn’t made. We told the check in clerk, and she called someone. I couldn’t understand their conversation. First she said they had no more rooms for our preferences. When I asked if I could have a refund, she talked to the person on the phone and then they suddenly had a room we could use. Apparently it was a “suite”. When we went to that room, it was so beat up and nasty. The furniture was gross and dirty. There were smears of who knows what on the walls. The bathroom was dirty. There was painters tape holding parts of the floor together. I felt dirty just walking into the room. We decided not to stay and had to make last minute arrangements for a place to stay. We received the “security deposit back” that they charged us once we had arrived to assure we didn’t mess up anything, but did not receive a refund for the room even though the conditions were poor and unacceptable. I have never left a review like this, and I’m typically a big people pleaser, but this place was next level awful.

I had requested a handicap room when I got there the person said they didn’t have any. I can’t get in and out of a tub so I had to wash my hair in the sink and do a wash off bath.

I was going to bulldog bash and this hotel was within one mile of the event.
The pictures looked pretty good. I booked one of the nicer rooms.
I was completely disgusted when I walked into this room. There was mold so bad it was growing across the glass. The couch was covered in disgusting stains, the door had clearly been kicked down in the past and the bolt lock was never repaired. The walls have never been wiped down, the smoke alarm didn’t have a battery in it.
I went to the front step and said I couldn’t stay in that room as I am allergic to mold.
I was given another room and without the same amount of mold and my family and I went to dollar general and bought cleaning supplies to scrub the room.
If you are looking for a place close to Starkville Main Street and you don’t mind paying $100 dollars a night plus a $100 deposit and scrubbing your hotel room before staying this place is for you.
Remember to bring a sheet you can throw away for a couch cover.

This place is not great at all but will do in a pinch. Have stayed here several times over the years and it’s sub-par in every way. Beds aren’t comfortable, there are always bugs but never have seen bedbugs. Most of the door ways and stuff need to be cleaned or painted; really the whole place needs a deep clean. Last night there was blood on the sides of the sink cabinet where someone had presumably dripped while reaching for some toilet paper. It had been there for a while never been cleaned up.
