This property was amazing! Incredibly clean and the room themes were a fun touch. Beds were comfortable the bathroom was huge with accommodations for handicapped access. Love that you could have access to the Drive-In with your room key. Just a spectacular experience.

Great location near shops and restaurants. Room was spacious and VERY clean. We loved the free admission to the drive in movie next door. I only knew of this amenity because of a comment in the reviews. There wasn’t any info about this in the room that I saw. If you book here, show your room key and they let you in the drive-in movies for free.

Our first time staying here and we loved it. Easy check in and the room was all ready for us. The room was spotless. Unfortunately it was raining so we didn't go to the drive-in. We will definitely come back!

I loved my stay! FYI, if you go during the drive-in season, you have free access by showing your room key. It is unfortunate we weren’t told about this and paid the 25$ fee at the entrance, however we’ll know for next time. I loved the concept of movie stars and the decor.

Very good place to stay!

We stayed 3 nights, and what was a surprise was we were next door to the Drive-In theatre (4!), and because we were guests of the Starlight Inn, we could attend the movies for free! Nice. There was a small fridge, microwave and small coffee machine (not a Keurig; you had to use their packets which were like teabags [sorry, my husband used it and couldn't remember the name]). There was a way to turn down the brightness of the alarm clock (on the bottom). You just need something thin and strong. No timer on the TV, but that was minor. A king-size bed! Nice tub/shower unit. Very clean. We were in the "Julia Roberts" room. There was an easy chair, and a desk and a chair, two sinks, lots of towels (SOFT!!!), and tissues! We were close to the street, and that was a little noisy, but it was crowded because it was a holiday weekend. We booked two weeks before, so there were slim pickings. Overall, very nice! I'd stay there again!

Comfortable stay

We had a quick stay at the Starlight. We splurged and got the VIP room with a jacuzzi tub. Which was enjoyable even though it wasn’t fully functioning. The pillows were not great so bring your own if you can! Overall it was a comfortable space!
