The Property itself is very Very Safe. I think a couple Cops live there and park their cars out front. I saw several people walking to the gas station for food and coffee with no problem. But I wouldn't venture off the property alone at night. Mabey it's just me I live in South Florida. LOL. But overall it was very clean and nice. I would for sure return.

The Starlight Motor Inn was INCREDIBLE. Just 10 minutes from everything. The rooms were spotless, with ice-cold air conditioning and beds that felt like clouds from heaven. The pool is fantastic, and the pool house adds a cool touch. The motel's retro charm makes it super photogenic. The Burgundy Lounge is like a trip back in time-truly unique. The Starlight Motor Inn has been around since the 1960s, maintaining its classic charm while offering modern comforts. Despite the surrounding neighborhoods not being the most appealing, I always felt safe. Loved everything about this motel and can't recommend it enough!.

I was a little apprehensive about the area but once we got in our room it was perfect. Service was exceptional. I had to text for something I needed and got an immediate response. I would stay there again. I was traveling with my daughter and we felt very safe and at home.
