The property sits right next to the Drive in theater and you can get in for free by staying at the property. Its just a cute little place with different themed rooms. We had Tom Cruise. We were too tired to go to the drive in but its a great amenity.

This property is connected to an outdoor drive in movie theater. I didn’t realize that. It was not a problem and the room was very nice and quiet. I think the theater admission was included with the room.

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.
