My husband and I were really pleased with the actual room. It's decorated very nicely and is very comfortable, from the furniture to the bathroom items. Super cute and comfie! Also, it felt pretty secluded and safe especially since the neighborhood seemed sketchy.

My husband and I were less that impressed with the parking. We drive a pick up truck and it was a challenge to navigate the parking area plus there weren't any spots to adequately accommodate us. There is only one way in and one way out with just enough room for a single vehicle to drive through. It was frustrating. I couldn't tell that by the reviews or the pictures. Also, we were looking forward to noise control based on the rules that were sent prior to our stay but this is a party place. Not only did it seem like there were too many cars for the number of rooms that are there but the noise coming from the lounge and other rooms during the later hours was pretty uncomfortable.

Everything about this place is stunning and gorgeous. Absolutely loved the facilities.

Had some trouble getting the self-serve check in to work, and the room doesn’t have much sound proofing. It was quite noisy with a nearby party, other guests, and trains going by. That’s really my only complaint

The retro style was fantastic. Very clean and fresh, seemed to be recently renovated. Best motel I have stayed in. Great value for the price.

The door lock was a little tricky when locking from the inside. My friend went out to check whether it was really locked or not, just to be sure it worked, which it did. That was really the only thing worth noting...

Awesome stay. The staff was very thoughtful with their check in texts and reminders about live music in the bar. We were there unfortunately to say goodbye to a friend with cancer. It was a nice surprise when the staff responded to my text with condolences. Comfy bed , clean room, nice staff. If you drink , take your own. Floridians are not use to no alcohol after 7 pm or on Sunday :).

Perfect stay minus the sad part

Where do I begin? There are so many things that we marveled at upon arrival, and so many more that we have continued to marvel at since our stay. The entire place was so well-designed; it was like walking into a vintage magazine spread called "America's Most Chic Roadside Motels," and The Starlight Motor Inn is at the top of the list! We loved the color scheme. As an artist, I appreciated how everything, from the stationery to the pool towels, was within a consistent design. It made everything look and feel so complete. The bar was it's own entity-- it exudes style and vintage soul. The drink menu was top-notch and the staff were all so welcoming. My fiance's favorite was definitely the Burgundy Lounge. As for my favorite? It's between the pool and the bed, and it's a very close call. The pool might win, simply because it was just so aesthetically pleasing and perfectly cooling for a walking tourist on a 90-degree Charleston afternoon. We were only in Charleston for a few days to celebrate our engagement, but the next time we are back (and there will be a next time SOON), we are coming right back to Starlight.

I don't like that I can't pick this place up and put it in my pocket to carry around with me forever.

Sooooo amazing! 😍 Loved everthing about it, especially the retro design! The service also. Easy to check in and clean modern rooms.

Everything was good!

Loved the room and atmosphere Great price for the area and very centrally located The maintenance man or property manager was GREAT!

Did not love location On property I felt safe, getting to property was a little sketchy!! Also, it’s almost like an AirBnB… no receptionist or housekeeping.

We booked this Inn due to it`s retro look mainly & good price for Charleston. We asked for a particular room & they obliged. There are no "staff" on site as such but our room key code was emailed to us perfectly & everything ran smoothly. We used the excelent pool & the bar at night time for a few drinks. The bar also had a great look about it being early 60`s in decor with some great B&W pictures. Everything was still like new in our room. Everyone we spoke to loved the vibe, even the early 60`s music. The sign at the roadside was perfect at night. We`d stay here again in a heartbeat if visiting Charleston again.

Nothing was bad for us except the Canadian couple next door having a "fight" when they came back after midnight, but that is out of the hotels control really. Just a sad reflection on young drinkers today. Luckily someone helped to calm them down & I believe take the lad away so she could calm down.
