Probably the best motel I've stayed! Very clean, comfortable, affordable, and good location. Loved the Burgandy Lounge on site as well as the coffee shop. The area around the motel is a little rundown but Starlight feels like its own little oasis. Very private, quiet, and relaxing spot to stay. We would definitely stay here again!
