Guest Reviews
- Isaac (10/5): - A very quiet, very clean place—the staff is very friendly. Would absolutely recommend !
- Cindy (9/5): This is a throwback to basic motels from my childhood. - Nice basic motel. Very few frills, but all we needed for one night in Burlington. It's a few miles from downtown, but is close to hiking and Lake Champlain. After a fancy hotel in Montreal, this was a great "on the road" option.
- Margaret (8/5): Very nice. Would - Very clean and quiet.
- Deacon (10/5): - Convenient and quiet
- Dawn (10/5): Excellent - Very clean, nice rooms.
- Alicia (10/5): - Check in was very easy. Front desk answered my phone call and resolved the issue very quickly. Water pressure was amazing. The room was clean and cozy.
- William (10/5): -
- Donna (8/5): -
- Erin (9/5): - Very clean room with thoughtful toiletries. The decor was charming with famous personalities adorning the walls the coffee products were not good.
- kelly (9/5): Would definitely stay again. Pleasant and comfortable. - Easy check in, parking outside my door. Clean, comfortable beds,2 sinks and mirrors in separate areas.
- Gelinas (8/5): -
- Lori P (9/5): So Clean and comfy❣️ - I liked the cost, how clean it was inside and the king bed was beyond comfortable! I also loved how close we were to go walk on the causeway, that is the photo I posted here. Can see Whiteface Mt. on the causeway. Yahoo! No drive in movies that night but so cool you can see the screens. Nothing
- Wooten (10/5): Cant wait to come back 🥰 - Loved the Theamed rooms An the over all set up ! Definitely cant wait to come back! The ants..... an there was a rear facing window with no curtain or privacy shade. Not that the bed could be seen from out side of the window, still had to be cautious when undressing or in sleep attire. (Window was small an outback,but still felt the need to be cautious, an a pillow fit there nicely)
- Terri (8/5): The rooms were clean, good sized and quiet. - Clean N/a
- Alan (10/5): I would not hesitate to recommend this facility to others. - Met all my expectations. Service was excellent. Convenient to my visitation sites. It would have been helpful if a clearer explanation of the location of the indication lights switches for room service and privacy had been provided.
- Nicole (10/5): Beautiful, relaxing & comfy - Drive in theater, jacuzzi, shower, comfy bed, cute atmosphere Ants in bathroom, some jacuzzi jets didnt work
- Valerie (10/5): -
- Stephanie (6/5): This was my second stay at the Starlight Inn, but I think I would look elsewhere if I am in Burlington again. - Overall, our stay was good and the property appeared to be clean and well maintained. It is conveniently located and reasonably priced. The property is getting old. Things are showing wear. My mattress was starting to sag, and needs to be replaced. One of our bath towels appeared to be dirty (or hopefully just stained?) with makeup from a previous guest.
- Nicolas (10/5): -
- Stephyn (10/5): -
- Jones (10/5): This is the only place my husband and I want to stay on our trips anywhere now - Everything the place was ama,ing top comfort just great all the way around can't wait to stay again
- Fikstad (10/5): - Very charming and staff were so helpful!
- Joseph (8/5): - Cozy and quiet. Wish it was drive in season. Coffee maker didn't work. Mattress had a "wear spot" as far as body contour/comfort, and maybe could've been flipped more. Other than that... overall good experience. We'll stay again.
- Pauline (9/5): -
- Gregory (10/5): Great value for a cute and comfortable stay and the themed rooms were clever and fun. - Clean, cute, loved the themed rooms I liked it all
- William (10/5): - The Starlight Inn is always a great stay for when we come up to visit our daughter at UVM. Clean, comfortable, and accommodating. Well run and friendly Inn. Highly recommend.
- Nassim (10/5): -
- Craig (8/5): Clean and comfortable - It was cute and very clean. Nothing all was as expected
- Taciane Aparecida Gomes Moreira (10/5): Amamos o hotel - Quarto limpo, tudo muito organizado, ótimo atendimento e a senhora um amor de pessoa.
- Eleesha (9/5): -
- Jennifer (10/5): -
- Roxanne (9/5): - No breakfast and very clean room and great location and liked the drive in right next door N/A
- Carol (8/5): - The free drive in theatre was great!
- Ivan (10/5): -
- Aimee (10/5): Unique place to stay next to a drive in movie theater! - Comfortable and clean king size bed - window overlooked a drive in movie theater. Easy parking directly in front of the room. Easy check-in and check out process. Free admission to the drive in theater next door! It felt like a unique stay - easy to get to from the Burlington airport and easy to drive to other locations. Nothing to complain about in our opinions.
- Mark (10/5): We will absolutely stay here agin in the future - Impeccably clean top to bottom, bed was MUCH better than most hotel beds. Great location, quiet at night & no noise from other guests.
- Richard (10/5): I’ve stayed at luxury hotels I’d never revisit, but this spot truly won me over. I’d return in a heartbeat. - The property was exceptionally well cared for, with attention given to both the interior and exterior. I wish I could have experienced the drive in theater. But it’s only open on the weekends.
- Kipp (10/5): - Fantastic renovation of the motel. Owners were lovely people,
- Karen (9/5): -
- Colin (10/5): -
- Marc johnson (9/5): A clean, well-run, and comfortable stay, overall an easy 8/10 experience. - I was pleasantly surprised by the property. The room was very clean and well maintained, and the overall upkeep was excellent. Shower water pressure was great, the TV worked well, and check-in was easy and straightforward. The staff was responsive when our room key stopped working and came fairly quickly to fix the issue. The bed was also surprisingly very comfortable. The themed room concept was a nice and interesting touch. Would definitely recommend for a short stay. The TV could be upgraded to a smart TV for a more modern experience. Also, if you are very picky about pillows, you may want to bring your own, although the provided ones were not bad.
- LeeAnn (10/5): -
- Christina (10/5): - The jacuzzi bath was incredible Nothing
- Laura (10/5): - Quaint,cute, clean, convenient. Easy access and correspondence. Loved the movie themed rooms.
- Morgan (10/5): -
- Deborah A (9/5): I try to book the Starlight every time I come to Burlington to visit family. It is consistently good - The Starlight is a gem of a motel. The room is sparkling clean, the beds are very comfortable, bathroom is spacious and the shower is a treat. Not the Starlight’s fault but there is no breakfast cafe nearby so unless McDonald’s is your thing, you have to search for a nice place to eat.
- Amy (10/5): -
- Russell (9/5): -
- Watts (9/5): - Clean facilities and very convenient access to your room. You just drive up and park in front of it.
- Allison (9/5): Affordable, unique, fun stay close to Burlington - It’s conveniently located near Burlington. It also is connected to a drive-in movie theater next-door, which plays four different screens that you can go to. It is a unique place to stay and also very close to the bike path along the lake. Although communication was immediate, I did not like that there is nobody there and no breakfast, but honestly, honestly for the price compared to other places in the area to stay it is totally worth it
- William (10/5): -
- Michael (10/5): -
- Sharla (10/5): I wish we could have stayed there on a night that we could have gone to the drive-in movie! - We stayed in the John Wayne room. Loved the movie posters on the wall! The room was clean and quiet. It had a microwave and refrigerator. Motel was easy to find. Nothing
- Dawna (10/5): The Julia Roberts suite was super nice! - It is right next to a drive in movie theater and we were left an entrance ticket and could tune in from our room! Nothing
- Andrea (8/5): -
- Elizabeth (10/5): Perfect! - Clean and renovated.
- Verona (8/5): Kort goed verblijf - Zeer Ruime motelkamer Goed bed - douche Genieten van de jacuzzi Geen personeel gezien maar wel tijdig info over hoe we kamer konden binnenkomen Misschien handvat aan jacuzzi want ben gevallen bij het instappen - zou ook handig zijn bij uitstappen Was zeer warm om te slapen en om fan aan te steken - te luid
- NV2202 (10/5): - Large and comfortable rooms. The drive in cinema were we watched 2 scary movies included in the price of our stay was great.
- Anthony (10/5): -
- Stephanie (8/5): Motel exceeded expectations! - Extremely clean and in good condition . Rooms are themed by movie star. Drive in cinema next door literally can be viewed from the room. Nothing, it was a great.
- Kendrick (10/5): Great location and easy access to the airport. - It was a great location, very friendly staff. Nothing
- Vincent (8/5): -
- Rick (8/5): Pleasant, friendly staff at a clean, well lit property. - Property was clean and well lit. It’s nice that they offer an opportunity for a complimentary drive in experience. Need more “creamer” and sugar for in-room coffee.
- Mary Ann (10/5): -
- Jacopo Maria (10/5): Ideale per soggiorni brevi a Burlington! - Posizione pulizia e comodità ! Niente!
- Carole (6/5): - Interesting and unique rooms. Comfy beds and it was clean. No staff. I never saw a single person. Had to call to check in and the person just told us the room number and where to find the key.
- Lindsey (10/5): - Everything was perfect 😊 super comfy beds. Seamless check in. Great amenities. A wonderful one night stay to rest & recharge. Thankyou Nothing
- Michelle (10/5): - Great stay and very convenient getting in and out with luggage. Can park right in front of door.
- Edwin (9/5): Entertainment themed location with easy access and parking, just 10 min from Burlington. - We liked the location, a little outside Burlington. Easy access and free parking. The entertainment theme gives it a nice touch. The rooms have a lot of space and are clean. The wifi is a bit wobbly.
- Brenda (9/5): The Starlight Inn was a fun and comfy place to stay. - The location was good. We weren’t there on the weekend to enjoy the drive-in movie theater, but loved the idea of it. We were in the Julia Robert’s room. Fun! The room was clean and quiet and the bed was comfortable. We never encountered any staff but they were quick to respond to a text with instructions for finding the key to our room. nothing
- Adrian (10/5): -
- Ivan (8/5): -
- David (9/5): - Clean and adequate room. Fairly quiet Check in was hard as the office is not staffed and you have to call a number. Our overseas phone wouldn’t let us and finally another person came past and kindly called for us

- Michael (8/5): Nice stay. Was expensive for the General amenities but it was high season (fall color changes ) and the staff person who - Staff was extremely courteous, available and helpful. Getting free passes to attend an adjacent drive- in movie theater was really nice.
- ELISABETH (8/5): Propre ! - Très bien tenu.
- ERIC (10/5): - Lovely stay, would recommend
- Judy (10/5): Great place to stay, lots of charm and nostalgia next to outdoor movie theatre - Great location, close to Burlington and bike path but away from the crowds coffee maker/coffee could be better
- Julie (8/5): - -
- Mark (10/5): Brilliant reimagining of a motel. Had a super stay. - I wasn’t sure what to expect but the starlight inn blew away any negative associations of a motel. This was modern, very well equipped, hugely comfortable, spotlessly clean and brought with it complimentary tickets for the drive in cinema next door. Win win! Nothing
- Scott (10/5): - We took a nine night road trip through the area staying at different places each night. We liked this place the best. The room was big, very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. There was a drive in movie theater attached to the property that motel guests had access to for free (we didn’t go over but it was offered). For the money it was, by far, the best place we stayed at!

- Susan (9/5): Cute concept, nice accommodations! - It would be very cool to stay on a weekend night when the drive in is open.
- Lucas (8/5): Pleasant!! - Everything’s was great, comfy and as pictured online. Jacuzzi was great. Shower could use a deep clean around door tracking but that was the ONLY thing i can say that isnt 100% positive. We will definitely stay again if in that area!! Highly recommended. N-a
