This is a true gem of a motel! The owners were very friendly and attentive and the room was immaculate. Parking was easy, right in front of your room. The air conditioning worked great and it was a very hot day. There were many extra amenities such as bottled water, snacks, and extra toiletries. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Loved the room. So nice to have a small room off the bedroom with shelves deep enough to hold luggage so your luggage did not need to sit in bedroom. Bedroom had several comfortable chairs and a colorful lovely bedspread. We had the room right next to the office and the closest to the highway. I thought it would be noisy but it was very quiet. Would absolutely stay here again.

I really enjoyed Starlight! Nena, the owner is such a lovely and delightful host! Greeted us with waters, fruit and cookies. Each room has its own parking spot right outside the room. The room was very clean and the AC was great and a relief from the 98deg heat! It’s not a fancy place but they provided everything needed including toothpaste which I had forgotten. They even have a sweet hen that likes to greet guests. Great coffee shop across the street and excellent bbq also close by. Close by lots of peaks and lakes. Ended up staying an extra night at their sister hotel as well. Highly recommend this place and i would stay there again!
