Starlite is a great Budget motel. If you expect 4-5 stars then spend the money, go elsewhere & don't complain. It was clean (older motel of course), had working heat, and hot water. Lots of toiletries & towels provided. Read the fine print as it tells you that check-in is at a motel two driveways over. No big deal. Pet friendly for a fee. Conveniently close enough to the main strip without the downtown cost.
We stayed at the Starlite Budget Inn on 9-27/9-29.
The room was $150 for 2 nights. It was an old room, but had everything we needed. There were 2 pools on the property to use, and they were both empty when we went. Nice warm pool! I had a lot of questions and check in and the hostess was happy to explain everything. You also get discounts at local restaurants and waterpark passes. It was a lovely experience!
Rooms are outdated, sure. But the privacy and quiet was what I was really looking for. We really enjoyed ourselves!
