What a great place! Great room. Customer service was awesome, very clean! Such a cool story about the history of the motor inn. This was my second stay at Starlight, perfect in every way. Pool with poolside bar! Great restaurants in the area and easy access to city of Charleston!

We saw a show nearby so location worked but the location is not great in general. Looks like a rough area

Came into town to see Goose at Firefly distillery. Super easy check in process. Room was perfect! Clean and newly renovated with a funky flare that I loved! Also, beds were super comfortable and had a great nights sleep! Would definitely recommend! We used Uber to get us back and forth from the show with no problems! Great spot!!!

Sweet little last minute booking, retro feel, with a warm vibe and very clean. Comfy bed, and 24/7 help line for any issues. Would absolutely book again

I knew this place would be a diamond in the rough but it far exceeded my expectation in every way! The staff is so friendly. The rooms are clean and updated. The coffee shop attached is so adorable. The pool is pooling. So fun. I’m a local and stayed the night to get away from the kids for Mother’s Day. Don’t judge. The vibes are 10/10.

Let’s start off by saying the hotel is good and clean and great prices .. the shower was nice and the room decor is nice as well .. tv update furniture as well .. I enjoyed my night I would think I got a noise complaint but guess what I didn’t but when I left hours after check out my card is being charged 300$ 200$ 100$ everything .. I’m tryna figure out why when I was having an adult moment all night they said it was from smoking but how when I first came we sat in the car and smoked .. I order food still didn’t smoke in the room .. I was outside after I work up 3am to smoke outside so idk if the housekeeper is lying to keep the deposit.. I have worked house keeping before I know how that work .. she said she have pictures of blunt guts on the ground in the bathroom but how when I took a shower and empty my trash that had condoms in it to be considerate to others even when I was outside I had a cup of water as a ash tray and sat it next to the bed nobody smoked in yall rooms !! This definitely give me a bad vibes & the second reason is they found a rag on the smoke detectors that’s FLASHING A BRIGHT RED LIGHT like a camera . Outta all the years of me getting rooms I have never had this problem NEVER .. so to the manger of this place you need to get in contact with me today !!

Booked a king for a couple nights to see a show at Firefly nearby. We were pleasantly surprised at the price to quality for the property. Also a very easy trip from the inn to old town Charleston. Salt water pool made for a nice evening dip, too.
