It was an absolute pleasure to stay there. It's obvious that so much love and attention goes into the place. It's one of my favorite places that I have stayed.

Name your favorite actor! What fun and super clean cluster of charming rooms. I can’t say enough about this straightforward pleasant motel next to a classic drive in movie in a neighborhood setting. Simply conveniences are right down the street with grocery store, drug store, gas stations, donuts, pizza and, and a nice new McDs within walking distance. Great stay!!!

Really fun that you can see the drive in movies and listen from the radio in your room. Room was very clean and had more towels than any hotel I’ve ever stayed. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and owners take great care in making sure everything is perfect.

Wonderful stay
We werent sure what to expect when we booked this hotel, but what a great surprise. We entered an up to date, incredibly clean room. The bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept in. This was the best hotel for the price that we've ever stayed at in. Check in was also very easy.

We've stayed before and loved it. This time, we found the bed linens irritating, almost scratchy. Don't know if they changed laundry vendors or not. Would stay again and hope they solve that problem.

I have stayed several times at Starlight Inn and it has been consistently excellent. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean and safe. The price is very good compared with other hotels and motels which are not up to par with Starlight Inn. I am only disappointed when they are booked up and I cannot stay at Starlight.

Whenever we go to the Burlington area, we stay at the Starlite Inn. Its a tiny motel, only 10 or so rooms, arranged in a row. The outside is neat and clean, with plenty of parking. The rooms are well arranged, roomy, and comfortable. They are modern and well maintained, as are the furnishings. The area is quiet, but near any activities you may care to engage in. Its a mom and pop business that is clearly loved by its owners. Support small businesses! Stay at the Starlite Inn...you won't regret it!

For some reason the housekeeper does not replenish your daily supplies for the room. Bottled water, coffee packets, soap, etc... Very strange. Otherwise pleasant stay.

There are so many pros for this place, they by far outweighs the one con I have. We stayed in the VIP Hollywood Suite and the room was super spacious and clean. The decorations were tasteful and added to the atmosphere. You can tell a lot of love goes into this place. The tv was nice and new and the bathroom is gorgeous!! The king bed offered was just okay, but we had someone else sleeping on the pull out and honestly, I wouldn’t recommend that pull out to anyone, much less adults. It was awful!! The springs were noticeable and the mattress wasn’t much of one. The property itself was also clean and well kept. We came during off season, so we missed catching a show at the drive in, but it’s close enough to Burlington to make it an easy drive for shopping and dinner! Overall, I definitely recommend this place, but don’t book the suite with the idea of someone sleeping on that sleeper sofa.

The property had been nicely renovated on the outside, The room was clean, comfortable bed, nice linen, sitting area also in the room was good for relaxing. The pass to the movie drive-in theatre was a nice bonus that we enjoyed. There was no staff onsite for check-in but the process was fairly quick and easier. However, I wanted to use a different credit card upon arrival I couldn't as my card was pre charged. This was disappointing and unexpected. Also, WIFI was below par for 2023. This is definitely an area that needs much improvement.

Fun and unique motel near Burlington
We absolutely loved it here. The check in was super easy, we just called and told them we were there and that was that. The decor is quirky and the hot tub in our room was heavenly. The place was clean safe and quiet and located right next to a drive in that we'll definitely be back to visit while they are showing movies. This is our new spot when we visit Burlington.

Very disappointing - poor value for money
Value for money - this was a poor stay. The ‘themed’ room was unimpressive and the most annoying aspect of the stay was the lack of customer service. On arrival there is no reception (I should have read the reviews as this appears to be the standard rather than the exception). There is a message to phone for details on how to access your room etc - however we are not US residents and therefore also no access to phone!!! We were only able to contact via another kind customer who phoned for us. They said the ‘manager’ was local so why not be at the motel to actually offer some customer service?! Local youths hanging around outside on site did not make us feel safe - had someone been on site this could also have been prevented? Sleep quality was poor as the room was very hot but the air conditioning unit was so noisy as to prevent sleep at all!! Not impressed to find two hairs in the bath either!!

I have stayed at Starlight Inn a few times and the experience is always great! The rooms are clean, safe, very comfortable and spacious. The pricing is good compared to rooms in the city (Burlington/Winooski/Colchester area. This is typically my first choice to stay and disappointed whenever they are booked up!
