Our bright and spacious rooms & cottages are designed for the perfect stay with a variety of modern amenities including pillow-top mattresses, great showers, luxe bath products, and a 55" TV in every room. With a private swimming pool, cocktail lounge, event space, & a host of "De-Luxe" amenities, the Starlight is the perfect oasis for restful days and playful nights.
