Great location and very cute room! I wish there was somewhere on the property for me to put my luggage since the early check-in fee was outrageous, but, other than that, I had a great stay! I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to stay near the boardwalk.

The Starlight Inn is a nostalgic motel that is a quick, easy walk to the beach. It has off street parking up front, and easy access to dining and basic shopping, all within walking distance. We enjoyed our stay.
