The Starlight Motor Inn

Our stay was pleasant enough! I did a lot of research before booking this hotel so I was aware of the location and vibes of the hotel. The room was clean, the beds are extremely comfortable, and never had parking issues or anything wrong with our stay. Some fixtures in the room need to be adjusted/tightened. Things to be aware of more before booking- there’s not really a truly “quiet” area here. We did indicate wanting a quiet room (and they have noise machines, which is great) and our friends did not- we each stayed in separate buildings. The bar sound and pool sounds travels a lot since people hang out very late- which is fine I had earplugs. If you stay on the side with the pool room/bar, you can hear everything going on below. But sounds that can’t be avoided at this location- lots of

Sort of a staycation. The hotel was perfect. I went with friends to Wits End right across the street to see some great stand up comedy. I was able to meet my friend at my room and go for cocktail in there super vibey boulevard bar upstairs and on site. Had a great time at the show and my pal and another couple came back to the room and I played a little acoustic guitar. Everyone had a blast. The hotel has such a cool decor and atmosphere. Will be back for the music nights in the bar on site.

What a gem! This is a midcentury renewed motel in the middle of nowhere in charleston. First the lobby, lounge and pool all feel like 50’s era. But the rooms are modern with lota of great amenities. AC worked great. Beds are comfortable. Clean. Neat. Definitely a value for the price. Probably the only thing is that for airport travelers depending on Uber is not close to anything. Airport is like 15-20 min ride ($18-22), any shopping is far from it. No restaurants at walking distance either. Still I would stay again at this great place.

Overall, we had a great stay. As most of the reviews mentioned, the area is a little sketchy but we never felt unsafe or worried even driving to and from the hotel at night. There were always a bunch of people around. Rooms are super cute and comfy. They did a great job with renovations. We'd stay here again!

Absolutely loved my time at Starlight! Got an early start to our stay due to another airport-hotel issue, and it was such a pleasure! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, the rooms are very clean and cutie, and the live music and events were totally unexpected and absolutely amazing. Highly recommend, this was my favorite part of Charleston!
