Davis Wade Stadium Hotels & Accommodation

Starkville offers reasonably priced accommodation options, including charming bed and breakfasts, convenient hotels, and welcoming guesthouses, that may surprise visitors with its affordability.

📍 Where To Stay

For visitors looking to immerse themselves in the vibrant collegiate atmosphere, the area surrounding the university is a prime choice for accommodation. Here, boutique hotels and guesthouses are frequented by visiting academics, prospective students, and sports enthusiasts, especially during football season when the town comes alive with Bulldog spirit.

The Cotton District, an area developed in the 1960s, is another popular stay for tourists. With its unique architectural blend of old Southern charm and European influences, the district boasts stylish apartments and cosy bed and breakfasts, offering a picturesque base from which to explore local boutiques, bars, and eateries.

Downtown Starkville, the historic heart of the city, is also attractive for visitors. It offers a range of lodgings, including modern hotels that provide easy access to the town's culinary delights, artisan shops, and cultural venues, such as the Starkville Community Theatre and the MSU Riley Center.

For those desiring more serene surroundings, accommodations on the outskirts of Starkville allow for proximity to natural areas, such as the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge, providing visitors with a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration.

To navigate Starkville, a personal vehicle is the most convenient mode of transportation. However, the Starkville-MSU Area Rapid Transit (SMART) system offers a public transit option with various routes servicing the town, university, and shopping locations. Walking can be an excellent way to enjoy the scenic routes around MSU and the Cotton District, though it's worth noting that the hilly terrain and the hot Southern climate may make long distances on foot less comfortable in peak summer months.
