All communication done via email and text message, never saw or spoke with any staff member. The room was nicely remodeled, the bed was super comfy but soooo high. Would stay again.

This property is in a sketchy neighborhood but dont let that deter you! It's in a very convenient location and easy drive into town (King Street). Quiet and the sweet little Security guide walks the property!

VERY CUTE!! The room was adorable and perfect. Very easy check in and nice staff. I love the character of the hotel and the room. The only thing I would recommend is a dehumidifier in the room, just because the air felt very moist, which I know is difficult to control in this climate. Lovely experience.

It is a retro - Motor Inn that brings sweet memories from my childhood traveling with my mom! They have a great ice machine with a huge ice bucket - always a plus! You have to climb to get into the enormous fluffy bed with the softest linens. The towels are wonderful - soft and absorbent. I like the fact that there are bottles of hand wash, body wash, shampoo and conditioner available instead of the small one-use ones. I will definitely be back!

When I saw this retro motel I knew I wanted to stay here. Usually we don’t stay at places with the room doors outside but the Starlight beckoned and we answered. Yes, the area is sketchy but the room is super cute. Everything has been renovated and the decor is so cool. The management is about the same as VRBO or AirB&B. I had to send my cc info for incidentals since I booked through a third party, then they texted the room number, code and instructions for the electronic door lock. We were assured that all we needed to do was text with any issues. We haven’t had any. If you grew up watching ‘50’s and ‘60’s movies or just love the retro aesthetic definitely give this place a try.

Awesome place with a cool vibe. The staff were very helpful. The pool was fun and very clean. We felt very safe our entire stay. Security was very vigilant. The bar had a super cool vibe. The only downside is that it’s not in the best side of town, but if it was the price would probably be 4x as much. We will definitely stay again

The motel was super cute. The keyless entry was nice, but I think it would be nice if there was a bolt lock on the door once inside. The door didn’t lock behind you and we had to remember to lock it when coming and going. There were lots of people walking around the surrounding streets but didn’t feel unsafe. Loved the vintage vibe and the location to our event at Firefly distillery. Would stay here again.
