There was mold in the shower, a cracked toilet seat, no grab bar in the shower, the towels were thin and smelled like bleach. The smoke alarm wasn't functional when we arrived, and the room smelled of mildew.

We booked this room because we wouldn’t be getting in until late and would be leaving early in the morning so we didn’t need anything fancy. It wasn’t. It was clean enough. The owners were kind. The room was kind of a hodgepodge of stuff cobbled together to make a room. The bed was uncomfortable. The stay suited our needs but we wouldn’t hurry back.

The property was convenient, just a quick drive to get downtown and yet it was peaceful. There's The a nature trail almost across the road if you want to get some fresh air. The bed was a bit firmer than I would have preferred, but I still slept like a rock. It's certainly dated, but comfortably spacious and had what I wanted: a bed, a fridge, microwave, table and chairs, and a couple chairs outside the door to listen to the birds singing. I wou definitely consider staying here again.

Nice people, comfy room!

We needed a room for four of us to get some sleep before getting out on the slopes the next day. Starlight Inn was perfectly located along our drive. The owners were lovely, seems to be a family owned business. The room was comfortable, clean, and nostalgic. Would stay again!

Old and gross.

The room was not very clean. The bathroom walls looked like there was blood on it. There was mold above the shower, the tub wasn’t clean. There were stains on the towels and sheets. The bed was hard as a rock. They charged $20 for us having a dog which was not mentioned on the website. This is the worst room I’ve stayed in.
