Our stay at this hotel was great! We loved it!

Super cute.
The new decor is darling and super clean. The exterior and steps could use a good power wash. The beds were clean and comfy. The area scared us at first but it was fine.

Starlight Dream
We had a wonderful stay at the Starlight. It was a perfect location for the nearby concert venue. The interior was very clean, the decor was amazing and there were so many details that invite comfort. I was pleasantly surprised that the pictures did not do this place justice. There was a cute little lounge with some delicious cocktails and they offer drink service in your room as well. This was definitely not a place that you stay and walk around as there didn’t seem to be too many things to do nearby but it was a great spot close to The Refinery, Firefly Distilery and a few breweries. Fun place to stay, we will be back!

Great place to stay in Charleston!
My husband and I were in town for a music festival. It was our first stay at Starlight Motor Inn. The room was immaculate as well as comfortable. Loved the retro style decor. Check in and out was a breeze, all done thru texting. Keyless entry. Felt safe despite the sketchy neighborhood. Would definately stay there again!

Cool, clean retro hotel!
Customer service was outstanding! Due to tropical storm Helene we were unable to make our original flight to Charleston so I called to cancel my reservation and they were kind enough to give me a credit for future use as I had already paid. Then we were able to take a flight the following morning to Charlotte and drive to Charleston arriving late. They were leaving a key for our room under the doormat but it wasn’t there when we got there so I called and thankfully she answered the call and directed us to another room where the code worked! The room was awesome - clean, comfy and great amenities! ( I did have to take the shampoo etc out of the holder in the shower as the tube had come disconnected from the pump on the body wash so the body wash wasn’t working so I fixed it) My only concern is that it was the end unit near the office and ice machine so at 1am people had gathered in the walkway drinking and were talking & laughing loudly. Then the following night at the same time a guest from room #224 was drinking and came down for ice and was inviting a woman named Rosa to come up to his room for drinks! Room #101 is not a room I would recommend as the ice falling into a bucket is loud and drinkers are gathering there and are loud and inconsiderate. This is not the staff or hotels fault but rather inconsiderate guests using the area as a smoking and gathering area in the middle of the night and filling up with ice. I would come back and stay but not in this room!

Best vintage gem in Charleston
Every detail about this place is well thought out and executed. Friendly people, dangerously comfortable beds. My room was so clean!! I had everything I needed right there. You can request a microwave in your room for a low fee ($10) if you decide to bring some snacks or food for breakfast. Pool was beautiful, and the bar was delightful. Short drive to almost everywhere in Charleston (less than 15 minutes to downtown and 17 minutes to Credit One where I was seeing a show) Folly Beach was a 25 drive. This will be my preferred place to stay any time I come back to this city

The room was cute with retro style. The shower was awesome and a comfortable bed. However, the exterior, especially the stairwells, are in desperate need of a revamp and painting. This is a first impression area and not great.

It was clean and convenient the service was good but the stairwells could use some work and some exterior paint but other than that it was great!

Great getaway
Starlight motor inn was a great spot to visit while in North Charleston. Just as described in the photos, The room was luxurious, clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. Definitely worth the price. And the service of the team was 10/10. From beginning to end the staff made sure that we were comfortable.
