Super cute.
The new decor is darling and super clean. The exterior and steps could use a good power wash. The beds were clean and comfy. The area scared us at first but it was fine.

Starlight Dream
We had a wonderful stay at the Starlight. It was a perfect location for the nearby concert venue. The interior was very clean, the decor was amazing and there were so many details that invite comfort. I was pleasantly surprised that the pictures did not do this place justice. There was a cute little lounge with some delicious cocktails and they offer drink service in your room as well. This was definitely not a place that you stay and walk around as there didn’t seem to be too many things to do nearby but it was a great spot close to The Refinery, Firefly Distilery and a few breweries. Fun place to stay, we will be back!

VERY CUTE!! The room was adorable and perfect. Very easy check in and nice staff. I love the character of the hotel and the room. The only thing I would recommend is a dehumidifier in the room, just because the air felt very moist, which I know is difficult to control in this climate. Lovely experience.
