It was perfect for our 2 night stay and near the Full Moon resort where we were going for a wedding celebration. The room was clean, bed comfortable, and everything worked. We didn’t use the kitchen - it was small but complete. The room has an air conditioner and heating. WiFi was good and the television worked well. Also the price was very reasonable.

I only gave three stars for property condition because it was a very high step to get into the room. I am a senior citizen and had to hold onto the doorpost to lift myself up. A step should be added for SAFETY purposes.

The motel is in a great location for exploring the Catskills and there are several good restaurants to eat at nearby but the property needs updating. The room was smelly and there were stains on the carpet. We were only given one set of towels even though we stayed two nights and the maid did not clean the room after the first night. The bathroom has no extractor fan and the only way to ventilate is open the window but this allows people outside the bathroom to look in. There was no staff to contact or speak to on a second night to ask about extra towels or toilet paper. Overall a very disappointing stay.

When booking at the Starlite, expectations MUST be managed. This booking is in the Catskills, got it. Each area/region has a specific aesthetic. However, basic standards of good business practices SHOULD BE CONSISTENT wherever the booking. Basic things like functionally of the “amenities”, cleanliness of the space SHOULD BE a given! And, considering the price I was charged for this booking, these accommodations ABSOLUTELY missed the mark! Burn marks on the cheap carpet, missing and broken tiles in the bathroom, old/out dated furnishings that are too worn to be properly cleaned, spotty/unreliable WiFi in a region where you’ll probably have no other signal/connectivity access…. Look, if the price was commensurate with the experience, I would have no comments. However, you can’t charge Hyatt Regency prices and deliver an experience comparable to lodgings that charge BY THE HOUR and usually host shady behavior! I was depending on that 9.2 rating to be the case, as a woman traveling solo for work. This place was an absolute disappointment. I truly wish I could post screenshots. Book at your own risk!!
A rain shower head installed as a regular shower head. One could drown😩 An actual hazard ⚠️

Quiet and Cozy

We only stayed one night at the Starlite Motel. This motel is not like other places we have stayed. It was quiet and it had character. We really liked that our room included a small kitchen. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean. The backyard area was great for us to relax with friends and play games. I would love to come back and stay longer to enjoy the area and I would definitely take advantage of the grills and fire pit. If you’re looking for “modern” this may not be for you, but if you’re looking for something quaint with a little character, it is perfect. We loved our one night stay and would like to visit again in the future.
