I love the Starlight! Stumbled on this place as it was convenient to where I store my boat and happy I did! It's like a time warp...very retro. Looks like it would have in the early 60s. Has a cool lounge with some great music most nights.

Super cute.
The new decor is darling and super clean. The exterior and steps could use a good power wash. The beds were clean and comfy. The area scared us at first but it was fine.

Starlight Dream
We had a wonderful stay at the Starlight. It was a perfect location for the nearby concert venue. The interior was very clean, the decor was amazing and there were so many details that invite comfort. I was pleasantly surprised that the pictures did not do this place justice. There was a cute little lounge with some delicious cocktails and they offer drink service in your room as well. This was definitely not a place that you stay and walk around as there didn’t seem to be too many things to do nearby but it was a great spot close to The Refinery, Firefly Distilery and a few breweries. Fun place to stay, we will be back!

VERY CUTE!! The room was adorable and perfect. Very easy check in and nice staff. I love the character of the hotel and the room. The only thing I would recommend is a dehumidifier in the room, just because the air felt very moist, which I know is difficult to control in this climate. Lovely experience.

It is a retro - Motor Inn that brings sweet memories from my childhood traveling with my mom! They have a great ice machine with a huge ice bucket - always a plus! You have to climb to get into the enormous fluffy bed with the softest linens. The towels are wonderful - soft and absorbent. I like the fact that there are bottles of hand wash, body wash, shampoo and conditioner available instead of the small one-use ones. I will definitely be back!

When I saw this retro motel I knew I wanted to stay here. Usually we don’t stay at places with the room doors outside but the Starlight beckoned and we answered. Yes, the area is sketchy but the room is super cute. Everything has been renovated and the decor is so cool. The management is about the same as VRBO or AirB&B. I had to send my cc info for incidentals since I booked through a third party, then they texted the room number, code and instructions for the electronic door lock. We were assured that all we needed to do was text with any issues. We haven’t had any. If you grew up watching ‘50’s and ‘60’s movies or just love the retro aesthetic definitely give this place a try.
