Dirtiest room I’ve ever stayed in. Was afraid to bring my luggage back into my apartment. Big
mistake booking here. You get what you pay for. Lesson learned.
Don’t let the outside appearance fool you. This place is very clean and air conditioned. Check in was smooth. Owners were professional. I would stay here again.
Air conditioner worked great but room was very smelly, old cigarette smell, carpets need cleaning badly which could be part of the odor

We stayed at the Starlite Motor Inn for a weekend while visiting Atlantic City during the summer time. Upon arrival, the man who I assume owns the property helped check me in and was very nice and accommodating. I think the staff were the best part of our experience! The room was decent for the price and very clean. We got a non-smoking room and it didn't smell of smoke, which we appreciated. The air condtioning was nice and cold. The bathroom was nice and fairly updated, too. Linens could use an upgrade, but overall we were happy with the quality of the room.
The one issue we had with this motel was the transient and suspicious activity (which, to be fair, is all throughout this area). It's not the motel owners' fault, obviously, but as someone who is in recovery from dr**s, the stay here was triggering because of what we saw and the smell of marij*ana coming from many rooms. Police were around, though, and we didn't feel like we were in danger of any kind, but I would say that anyone trying to avoid stuff like that should spend a little more money and go to a chain hotel in a different area. But if this doesn't bother you, the Starlite Motor Inn was good quality for the price, and like I said, the staff were great. Thanks for everything!
DO NOT STAY HERE — SERIOUSLY
If I could give the Starlight Motor Inn zero stars, I would. This was easily one of the nastiest hotel stays I’ve ever experienced, and I genuinely don’t understand how this place is allowed to operate.
The room was filthy and smelled overwhelmingly like mold, mildew, cigarette smoke, and marijuana. There was trash throughout the room, weird stains everywhere, and the TV didn’t even work nor did the lamps which were missing shades. There was lots of hair in the bed and bathroom. The entire place felt dirty and neglected from the moment I arrived.
And the experience outside the room wasn’t any better. There were a lot of people hanging around outside smoking marijuana, which made the whole property feel uncomfortable and unsafe. This is absolutely NOT a family-friendly place and not somewhere I would feel comfortable bringing children or recommending to anyone traveling with their family.
This wasn’t just an outdated hotel that needs some renovations. The cleanliness, smell, atmosphere, and overall condition were completely unacceptable.
WARNING TO OTHER TRAVELERS: Stay somewhere else. Seriously. Don’t take the chance just because the price might look appealing.
As for me, you couldn’t pay me to ever stay at the Starlight Motor Inn again. I would honestly rather sleep in my car. Save yourself the money, the stress, and the nightmare of a stay.

First, I ordered a room with double beds on the first floor wheelchair accessible when I arrived didn’t have one
We wound up getting a brown floor with a king bed for three people and a toddler
They tried to tell me my reservation was for two people when clearly it stated three adults at a toddler
They expected me to walk up steps at one and walk all the way across the hotel, because no one bothered to clean the steps at the other end of the hotel
The pile of snow was horrible.
They gave to downstairs room with the king size bed was supposed to be handicapped. However, there was snow was not removed.
My son-in-law tripped, putting a small cut in his hand and bruising his hand. I don’t know how they expected to handicap person with the wheelchair when you couldn’t get past the snow. One of the worst experiences.
They were holes in the cover no blanket
