A mid-century gem
I've stayed several times at the Starlight when work has brought me to the Charleston area. They'd done a fantastic job bringing it back to its former mid-century glory. The bar and pool are both fantastic. For an affordable option for your next Charleston vacation, the Starlight is a true gem.

Was not expecting much upon first glance of outside however was pleasantly shocked at the room which not only clean and modern but tastefully done. The bed was great! Plus the TV has Roku! Did I mention a sound machine? Well done!!! Also had fun in the lounge.

Adorable
So freaking cute! It’s definitely simple…it’s a motel after all. If you require a more modern place with full amenities, then this might not be for you. It was absolutely perfect for me! I walked around a little during the day and felt perfectly safe, but I did not feel like walking around alone at night was a good idea. The burgundy lounge upstairs was great as well. Awesome bartender and really good live music.
