This property was super cute. The remodel was so well done and the rooms actually felt like a luxury hotel. It was also so cool to be able to go to a drive-in movie again. Great location, really fun place to stay!

Awesome location and price!

Prices in Burlington proper were VERY high. The Starlight Inn is just a few miles north and one can easilyy get into the city. We also found it well placed for excursions in ANY direction. It was SO quaint and unique. It was well priced and allowed us to spend money elsewhere...breweries, vineyards etc.

They were very helpful in getting our room ready early, so we could check in early before the wedding we were attending. We took advantage of the complimentary Drive oinking which was nice little perk. We would definitely stay there again.

Great little motel, bed didn’t work for me.

Great comfortable spacious room. Everything you would expect from a two star hotel. Good Wi-Fi, good temperature control. My only problem was the thick memory foam topper to the mattress, which made it impossible for me to sleep, like sleeping in Big canyons, and hills. Didn’t expect that—I didn’t realize just how horrible it was. So if you love that, then this is the motel for you!

The room was immaculate. Although no one was on the property, it was easy to reach them by phone. The bed was comfortable (not so much for me because I don't like memory foam). Room well laid out, not quite so easy bath and toilet for handicapped. Would recommend highly.

This property is adorable! Very clean, spacious and comfortable. The drive-in theater tickets are a bonus. We arrived too tired to attend this time but plan to stay here again when we're back in the area. Also, even though the theater is right next door, we heard nothing in our room.

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.
