What guests think
At Starlight Motel, reviews consistently praise the exceptionally warm, hands-on owners and very clean, comfortable rooms, noting thoughtful touches like welcome snacks and toiletries, while also acknowledging its classic roadside-motel character with modest, updated interiors.
Guests describe basic but comfortable rooms with good in-room amenities, though bathrooms are small and some note noisy AC or heaters. Several appreciate the quiet outdoor deck and patio with seating, grill and fire pit, plus parking by the rooms; a weak ice machine is mentioned occasionally. The location is convenient for Highway 395 and Big Pine Lakes hikes, but there’s no complimentary breakfast and nearby dining can close early. Expect a straightforward, no-frills stay well suited to hikers and road-trippers.

The Starlight Motel has an outdoor sitting area which is very nice. It includes hanging lights and just an overall nice and quiet atmosphere. This will always be our go to place when we are in the area.

As reviews promised we had a very nice greeting by the owner. First impressions are so important. He gave us a nice basket with a crisp apple, a banana, cookies, and 2 water bottles. The room had a comfy king, fridge, and full size coffee pot. Right outside were the Sierra, featuring a glacier. They have a nice vegetable garden, gas grill and fire pit. We will return

GREAT place to stay for the night! Super friendly host (loved the welcome basket of goodies) we arrived later than most and we smiled and said it wasn't a problem at all - the most comfortable beds and bedding of our entire road trip! Hot shower, good water pressure, clean room, quiet, safe area, parking right outside the front door. Thank you SO MUCH for a great night's sleep!

Staff was friendly and the area was about what you'd expect in a small town on the highway. The AC was one of those types that would turn on loudly and turn off to quiet. Decent little picnic area for being outdoors. Not much that you could walk to.

From the moment staff greeted us for check-in we were impressed. The room was clean beyond our expectations, and everything we might have needed during our stay was provided. In our haste to prepare for this surprise trip we had actually forgotten a toothbrush, and there was one in the bathroom provided by the host. We cannot say enough about how pleased we were to have chosen the Starlight for our stay.

Staff was outstanding. Very friendly. Provided welcome basket with fruit and snacks. Made sure we were settled in the room and knew how everything worked. Offered me a free beer to have with my takeout meal on the motel deck. Room was clean and comfortable with extra toiletries if we needed them. Bathroom was cramped and AC was noisy (which he had warned us about at check in) but otherwise the room was very nice for an economy motel.

I had a great experience during my stay here. The room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, making it easy to relax right away. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality of the owner—He was incredibly generous and welcoming from day one. You can tell he genuinely cares about their guests and goes out of his way to make you feel at home. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm and pleasant place to stay!

And it was nice to have a microwave and fridge in the room. This rating is more a 4 1/2 star - 5 for the awesome staff and 4 for the room.

Perfect place to stay before skiing in Mammoth the next day. Cheaper than places in Bishop. And the hosts are so nice. The husband called me before I left LA asking when I would be checking in. He just wanted to make sure I arrived before 8 because that’s when the restaurants in Big Pine close. And when I checked in, they gave me a banana, apple and delicious Indian crackers. Nice touch from very thoughtful people.

This simple but brilliantly maintained. Classic property was absolutely immaculate. We were arriving late because of traffic and the proprietor messaged us about our arrival time. After I responded, he encouraged me to drive safely, take my time and find a little dinner on the way up because little would be open when we arrived. He greeted us cheerfully when we finally arrive and offered some cookies, fruit and bottles of water. The property's right in town, very walkable and convenient.

Arrived at 2am stopped on our way to Lake Tahoe they were very accommodating to just ring the bell for service. Very kind and gave us cookies and fruit. Room was very clean. Older motel but well kept and clean. Bed was comfy, had a microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator. Everything you need I appreciated the new hardwood floors. Water pressure in shower great!

We had a lovely stay. The family that owns the property really makes you feel at home. It is quaint, well kept, and we will definitely be back.

It was a nice little place. I’m not sure I would give it a 9.4 or whatever it was rated, but I would put it in the high eights. The desk person was extremely nice. The only negative was there was pretty constant road noise which is not their fault but I’ll mention it anyway. It looks like they have tried very hard to make this a nice place and I would stay there again without a doubt. It’s not the Taj Mahal but it’s a good place for a good price.
