We had an an amazing stay in a comfortable room with a balcony right in the middle of downtown. The room had an individual feel to it, not cookie cutter design like other hotel rooms, and had all the amenities we needed. I highly recommend Hotel Chester!

Older hotel with a southern charm. Hotel was clean. Staff was friendly and warm. Air conditioner in room can be a little loud at times. Rooms was small but comfortable. No USB slots available for charging devices. I would recommend.
