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!

It’s my new favorite! Clean, comfortable, reasonably priced, and has everything a traveler needs. I called to say I’d be checking in late, and the gentleman I spoke to was friendly and accommodating. And this isn’t a typical, cookie- cutter place. I stayed in the Bonnie and Clyde room, complete with pix and posters from the movie. Highly recommended.

excellent, spacious and clean room; everything in place; but it was not mentioned that there is no person at check-in: one needs to call to get information on how to access the room. It worked well.
