We loved our stay here! The owner was super friendly and attentive. The location was very convenient for our hikes to Big Pine Lakes and other nearby trails. The deck area was a great spot to grill and relax after a long day.

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.

Ich kann das Starlight Motel für die Durchreise wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Zimmer sind sauber und vollkommen in Ordnung, alles vorhanden was man braucht. Überaus hervorzuheben ist die Gastfreundlichkeit und der nette Empfang, bei Ankunft erhielten wir zwei Wasserflaschen, ein kleines Snack Körbchen mit Keksen und Banane, wir haben eine Empfehlung fürs BBQ erhalten und es gab sogar Bier aufs Haus. Super lieb, hatten wir auf unserer Rundreise noch nirgendwo. Kleinigkeiten machen es eben aus. Daher Top Empfehlung!
