Nice people, comfy room!

We needed a room for four of us to get some sleep before getting out on the slopes the next day. Starlight Inn was perfectly located along our drive. The owners were lovely, seems to be a family owned business. The room was comfortable, clean, and nostalgic. Would stay again!

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.

It's quaint. It's quiet and I like that. My AC stopped working around midnight, but the windows were able to be open, so it wasn't stuffy.

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.

Nice quite place to stay the night. No second floor, so there was no chance of being disturbed by people walking above you. Clean room, including the bathroom. I liked that it had a mini fridge so we could put food in it that we brought with us. There was also a separate freezer where I refroze my ice packs over night. Very handy. I didn't have any food to reheat, but if I had, the microwave would have come in handy. I did use the coffee pot for coffee in the morning. I took off a star because honestly, the bed could have been better. It creaked when you moved, and the mattress was kinda hard. My daughter thought the same. I slept on top of the comforter so I had more cushioning. I was tired, so I slept about 10 solid hours, then woke up to my back hurting a lot. I got up and took tylenol, and moving around making coffee helped relieve the stiffness in my back. The proprietors were nice people. I guess the motel is owned by a family. The price for the room was fair for my small travel budget. Overall I would recommend this motel for a short stay. Just bring a mattress topper if you have one, and maybe extra soft blankets to sleep on.

Very nice old school Vermont motor inn. Dated decor, but all clean and well maintained. Except the shower. The shower was clean, but even with only a few people in the motel getting consistent hot/cold water was difficult. Literally our only complaint. Very good location to downtown, too. Only about 4 1/2 miles from Bennington College if you are visiting.

The property was very dated... run down fixtures,, bathrooms.. sink and bathtub missing large areas of grout.. they were discolored by age and usage and very unpleasing...We received no maid service for the 3 nights we were there..no fresh linens nor any fresh towels. The parking lot and entrance ramp are dated and full of holes and uneven pavement and in need of repair....Therefore.. a poor rating is being nice...
