If it is a relatively well known star (for example Betelgeuse), then Wikipedia has good information. I often use it (and check the info against other sources) and find it reliable.
If you are looking for a faint, little-known star, you may have to hunt around for the table that contains it (usually some specialised table that contains that type of star -- in other words, you must already know some properties in order to find the table that will give you its properties).

The best explanation I've found on the properties of stars is from Wikipedia.
