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.

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.

This place was so well designed. The owners thought through every detail of the hotel and also, the customer's experience. The smell of the room was good (so rare with hotels and especially motels), the artwork on the walls was thoughtful in a design and fashion way. The bed was comfortable, and firm. The hotel lobby and bar upstairs were destinations in and of themselves. And the check in/out and communication with the office was very easy with no issues whatsoever. If we ever visit Charleston again, I would definitely stay here.

We had a wonderful stay this weekend at the Starlight! The cute retro theme was my daughter’s favorite. The room was clean and the beds were super comfortable. The bathroom and shower were so nice! My daughter lost her wallet and keys by the pool on Friday night, but thankfully they were in the lost and found when we checked with the security guard! The Starlight staff go above and beyond, and we will be back soon for another stay!

Emily

The Starlight was super cool, clean, newly furnished and appointed, easy to find, and extremely comfortable inn. It is an incredible value as well given the rates one would typically pay in the Charleston area. I have already recommended the Starlight Motor Inn to numerous friends and look forward to staying there again. It was an easy 5 mile drive into downtown where you've got access to numerous parking garages.
