Starlight Inn

What guests think

At Starlight Inn, guests often find a quiet, convenient base with friendly owners, but opinions are split on room quality: beds tend to be very firm, and cleanliness ranges from tidy to troubling in some bathrooms.

Some rooms are spacious and practical for short stays, though odors and maintenance issues like weak showers or occasional AC problems are reported. The property feels worn to several reviewers, and parts of the grounds could use tidying. Best for travelers prioritizing price and simplicity over modern finishes.

I liked the tree out front, and the distance from the road, but it's like stepping back in time 40 years.

Persistent room odor (possibly old cigarette smoke), construction supplies outside my room and no-one else's, awful bedding/bed, weak shower, but cheapest available...so, there you go. Won't be back unless desperate.

The room was not very clean. The bathroom walls looked like there was blood on it. There was mold above the shower, the tub wasn’t clean. There were stains on the towels and sheets. The bed was hard as a rock. They charged $20 for us having a dog which was not mentioned on the website. This is the worst room I’ve stayed in.

Stayed 1 night

The property was convenient, just a quick drive to get downtown and yet it was peaceful. There's The a nature trail almost across the road if you want to get some fresh air. The bed was a bit firmer than I would have preferred, but I still slept like a rock. It's certainly dated, but comfortably spacious and had what I wanted: a bed, a fridge, microwave, table and chairs, and a couple chairs outside the door to listen to the birds singing. I wou definitely consider staying here again.

This property is dark, dank, out of date, and they have not put a nickel into keeping it a place you would want to stay. I would sleep in my car before I would stay in this place again!

We booked this room because we wouldn’t be getting in until late and would be leaving early in the morning so we didn’t need anything fancy. It wasn’t. It was clean enough. The owners were kind. The room was kind of a hodgepodge of stuff cobbled together to make a room. The bed was uncomfortable. The stay suited our needs but we wouldn’t hurry back.
