What guests think

Starlite Motel is a classic budget stop with very clean rooms, friendly hands-on owners, and a walkable location near downtown, delivering a simple stay with an outdoor pool and straightforward comforts at generally reasonable prices.

Rooms are basic but many guests found the beds comfortable. Recurring drawbacks include dated décor and fixtures, thin towels, limited amenities (no breakfast and few toiletries), and occasional odors or noise. Expect a clean, no-frills base near downtown.

I checked in today and checked in by a very nice elderly lady whomneas infomative, patient, and nice. Unfortunely, the pool had hust been drained but thats fine. I understand. The toom was bigger and very very clean and tidy. Only thing i can complain about is, desk lamp bulb socket is so loose and lifht didnt work, i unplugged just in case. A/c works better in my room than when i paid 336bucks in vanvouver sandman hotel.. great bargain this motel.. highly recommend.. .

Check in was easy. I had a king room that was spacious and clean. Every room had a pair of chairs outside which was really nice. For a quick overnight stay it worked out fine.

We booked on a last minute trip to the dells. We were looking for a non busy place to satay with an outdoor pool. Check in service was perfect. We were greeting by a very kind a joyful gal who checked us in quickly and was very welcoming. Our room was decent. Clean, no odors, secure and bed was comfortable. The grounds around the hotel were well kept and clean. We really enjoyed the pool. It was clean and temp was perfect. We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay was amazing. The property decor is a bit out dated, the ac doesn't is an old window unit. The room was clean, caulk was clean, window sills clean, no dust, mattress encased in waterproof liner. Staff are lovely, friendly and would always wave when they saw us.

Beautiful motel at the far end of the strip. Well maintained and VERY clean. We were greeted by the owner who was polite, friendly and welcoming. We didn't encounter any problems while we were there. I defiantly will stay here next time I come to the Dells.

A hair dryer, shampoo and conditioner would have been wonderful since I left those items at home. I had expected those basic items to be in the room. The carpet needs a good cleaning. My bottoms of my feet were black from walking from the bathroom to the bed after I had showered.

Very nice and polite when we checked in. We didn’t know what to expect at a motel and an older motel key chain, but as soon as we opened the door to the room. To our surprise it smelled fresh and clean! No mildew or old paint smell. New Everything sheets, towels, bed, floor and bathroom! Thanks to the owners and we will be back. 100% Recommended Shaggy Acevedo and Gigi

The motel was close to the main street so that you could walk downtown. The room was old and bathroom was adequate (small) at best. The towels were little and thin. The TV was difficult to use with 2 remotes and the color was off. The air-conditioner was loud. We were also charged more that what was expected from my confirmation from Travelocity. I wouldn't stay there again.

Owners kept harrasing us about our friends coming over to look at the cars from the hotel balcony. They are kinda creepy because they were stalking us the whole weekend and we didnt feel safe there knowing the owners could have a second key they also just came in our room without letting them in and my friend was changing she only knocked twice and let herself in they also got mad at us for "not cleaning" when we left but in reality the only thing that was "dirty" was the beds and thats becuase we didnt make the beds we even folded the used towels and rags that were provided and wiped down counters. I would not recommended this place if you are coming to automotion in a big group or just in general.

We came up for the Dells on Tap beerfest. Our stay here was very comfortable and our room was very clean. My only suggestions would be to have a little larger and thicker bath towels and to have kleenex in the room, and maybe serve coffee starting at 7am instead of 8. I highly recommend staying here!
