I’ve stayed at the Starlight Inn a few times, and each time it’s been a wonderful experience. The individual rooms are themed for actors and/or actresses or iconic duos, the rooms are always clean and tidy, and I have had no complaints over all of my visits. Really a wonderful business and a joy to stay in.

What a very cool place to stay. Clean, bright with updated rooms: giant bed (the John Wayne room ) & bigger shower. There was a complimentary coupon for the old school 4 screen drive in movie theatre next door too. UVM parent’s weekend and still not as pricy as the bigger chains. Support local businesses. Two thumbs up.
