University Motel Started with Cable Cars!


The University Motel and Suites is Starkville's family-owned and continuously run motel since the 1950's.  As such, it has a rich history in the great town of Starkville, MS.  Founder Vernon Chesteen began the motel by converting 1900's era San Francisco Cable Cars to rooms that travelers could rent! He purchased the cable cars at auction and lined them up end to end on the very land that University Motel now stands on!  As he was able, Mr. Chesteen scrapped the cable cars to build the wings of the Motel.

So a little bit of San Francisco's history went to help build some of Starkville's history!  Please consider booking your room with us to make some Starkville memories of your own.  Call 662-323-1421.

Lyrics from "Starkville City Jail" by Johnny Cash

Well, I left my motel room, down at the Starkville Motel,
The town had gone to sleep and I was feelin' fairly well.
I strolled along the sidewalk 'neath the sweet magnolia trees

I was whistlin', pickin' flowers, swayin' in the southern breeze.
I found myself surrounded; one policeman said: "That's him.
Come along, wild flower child. Don't you know that it's two a.m.
