Such a cute and amazing little Inn! The area is quiet and nice. The room was clean and spacious. Had a sink in the bathroom plus one outside next to the microwave and fridge. Bed was incredibly comfy. Pretty booked when we stayed which was for only a night. Just down the road is a Walgreens and grocery store so if you really need something you're not far off. read more

Great little place - stayed one night in the Tom Cruise room - huge shower /bathtub. Surprised to see a great looking drive in movie theater next door with three huge screens - read more

Rooms are clean. Management doesn't appear to be onsite but came to fix the remote and handle a noisy guest as soon as I called. So no complaints. Did I say rooms are clean? Looks like relatively new bathroom. And for the price to get nice amenities like a clean fridge and microwave is a bonus too. Really for the price it's a good deal. Supermarket is very close along with Dunkin' Donuts. About a 20 min drive to UVM. Safe for a single traveler. read more

Honestly a fabulous experience here in the VIP room. Very spacious, AMAZING TUB, comfy bed, quiet and best part is the drive in next door with free movie tickets when you stay. Great price and easy drive downtown read more

Starlight Inn - Hotels Near Me - Colchester, Vermont

Motel is either new or recently renovated and clean, comfortable and modern. Each room is dedicated to a celebrity, we stayed in the Elvis room. There was a king bed, sitting are with a table , couch and chair and a large wall-hung tv. Large bathroom too with a tub/shower. Room also has a coffee make, microwave and mini fridge. Motel overlooks a four screen drive in movie which you can watch (think it's weekends only though) Only negative was the terrible WiFi connection, so not good if you have to have that. read more

Great place - clean comfortable and affordable. Nice to only have to take five steps to get into your room back your car up unload your luggage and you're in your room. read more

This little spot is the cleanest and quietest motel I've ever stayed in! The walls are sound proofed! I heard absolutely NOTHING, and that's how I like it! It was winter. And this looks like its quite the summer blues getaway..They have 4 drive in screens and in the summer you can listen to each movie from the comfort of your room! But anyway, we arrived after nine pm and they seem to operate the establishment remotely which is odd, but it seems to work, so we went with it and were able to let ourselves in per their instructions! There is supposedly a theme to each room (Hollywood actors/ actresses). But they only have cutout pictures of each star on the walls.. I thought it was okay, but not really themed.... We asked for the Tom Cruise room, but got the John Wayne room, and I am sooooo not into western unless its Clint Eastwood. But since it was so sparkling clean and the beds were absolutely magical, we let it slide... So glad we did. We had the best rest ever. Thanks Starlight! We'll definitely be back in the summer. read more

The outside was extremely welcoming. The checking in was contact free but regardless they were extremely friendly. Entering the room it felt, clean and smelt like bleach. They had shoe trays to put your shoes on. They have real slate tile upon entering the room which shows they take pride in their inn. They have vaulted ceilings with recess lighting. The tub is huge!! At night they have their roofs lite in different colors which was beautiful. Everything was so neat, and thought out. It was close to local restaurants which have great food. I always like to find hidden gems and this was definitely one of them. I will be back read more

Being a social media geek, I did my research before heading out to Burlington. Saw all the awesome reviews and photos and even a TV news blurb about the hotel. I'm all about supporting local businesses and this is the perfect hotel to support. It's pretty new, it has all the bells, whistles and buzzers (no, seriously, it has a doorbell and a cool combination doorbell/do not disturb outside light) How cool is that??!! Tray ceilings with recessed lighting, new lamps that have plugs for your chargers/cell phone. The colors are bright and refreshing. We stayed in the Brad & Angelina room (double queen) comfy beds, big bathroom and mini fridge (with a cute ice tray), microwave and coffee maker = happy camper! The drive-in is pretty cool. We were here in the fall on a Monday, so no movies (only on the weekends) but they have a sign in the room which radio station to tune-in on and you can listen to the movie in your room. Pretty cool. We'll definitely will stay here again and give 5 stars the whole way! Support a local business and help keep the dream alive on the drive-in big screen. read more

This is our second time here. We came back because the owner was really kind But the room we were given was the worst place we have ever stayed in. Words cannot describe this place. There are more code violations here !! This "Hotel" would fail an inspection. If they bothered to inspect it. The room is dusty, moldy and my husband killed a tick. They called it a two bedroom-putting 1/2 a curtain between two spaces does not constitute a room-especially when you cannot stand in the "pretend room" .... I won't even bother describing the actual room. I honestly don't like to leave bad reviews, but I feel I owe it to other people. Stay away from this place. the owner as is quite nice, and I feel somewhat guilty but she has got to invest a bit if she would like to continue to stay in business Never again!!! read more

The first thing that struck me when I entered the "Marilyn Monroe" Room at the Starlight Inn was how clean it was! I mean, it was spotless ... and even smelled good. And it had all of the amenities that you would expect -- TV, microwave oven, coffee pot, refrigerator, ironing board, etc. I liked that it had a completely private bathroom ... many hotels I've stayed at have their bathtub/shower and sink open to the rest of the room. This is OK if you're traveling alone, however, if you're not this could be a problem. As several people have mentioned, their "office," which they advertise as being open 24/7, is not staffed. You have to call a phone number and they will instruct you how to get in. But I arrived at 2 p.m. on Christmas Eve and found nobody there, so I called the two numbers attached to the front door. Not only did nobody answer, but nobody returned my calls after I left messages. Luckily for me, my cousin lived only 5 minutes away, so I went to her house, returning to the Starlight at 4 p.m. This time, I called the number again, and a woman answered and instructed me how to get in my room. This whole thing was only a minor inconvenience, but it you're going to operate your office remotely, at least answer your customers' phone calls! The only other complaints I have is that the mattress on the bed in my room was sagging on one side. Apparently, most customers prefer to sleep on that side of the bed, wearing out the mattress. To be fair, there was another queen-sized bed in the room, but I preferred the bed farthest away from the window, so I didn't even check out the mattress on that bed. Also, the television-watching experience wasn't the greatest. The TV's volume control is limited and would go up only so high, so I found it difficult to hear the TV. Yes, this is great so your neighbor doesn't keep you up all night, but what good is it if I can't hear the TV in my own room? Also, the remote control was very wonky, and was difficult to operate properly. This is coming from someone who is a computer and electronics expert, so it's not that I didn't know what I was doing. All in all, I had a pleasant experience at the Starlight. It was my second time staying there, and I will definitely stay there again when visiting my cousin. read more

We stayed here on a recent overnight trip to the Burlington area. Clean, quiet and comfortable. Contactless check-in for those guests still Covid conscious. The movie star themed rooms are definitely unique. Worth checking out if you find yourself in the area. Shop small! read more

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Starlight Inn. The exterior was clean and super cute! We were fortunate to have the Hollywood VIP room and it was beautiful, updated, and probably the cleanest room we have ever been to. Staff was friendly and attentive. The room was quiet even though the Inn was pretty busy all weekend. The jacuzzi tub was relaxing and a great addition to the room after checking out Burlington in the cold all day! Our bed was huge and super comfortable. I would highly recommend the Starlight for it's comfortable furnishings and affordable price! 10/10, would stay again! read more

The Starlight was such a treasure to find. We stayed here for only one night while visiting UVM, which is 10 minutes away. Everything was clean, bright and beautiful! I really can't wait to visit here again!! read more

Starlight Inn - Marilyn Monroe Room. So cute!! - Hotels Near Me - Colchester, Vermont

We rented the VIP (Dean Martin) room which is room #1. The decor of the room is extremely nice and it was very clean. The room has a King size bed and a pull out couch. The mattress on the bed is very comfortable. The sheets smelled like they just came out of the laundry. The room has a large tv with plenty of channels. There is a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. There is also a breakfast bar and plenty of storage if you plan an extended stay. The room has a tray ceiling with recessed lighting. There are dimmer switches that enable you to turn the lights down low. The inn is also very tech savvy with high speed wifi, buttons that you can push on the inside of the room that light up outside so as not to be disturbed or to let the staff know to make up your room. There are plenty of outlets for your electronics and the room has a Panasonic stereo system with an Ipod docking station. The bathroom has a very large spa tub with jets and lighting. It easily fits two people and is so relaxing that you hate to get out of it. The shower does not lack for water pressure. The bathroom also has a heat light. As if the room wasn't enough of a treat; you also get in to the drive in for free. The price is usually $8 for adults and $2.50 for children under 12. This includes two movies. There is also a gazebo on the property that is screened in and you can see several of the movie screens from it. You also have a view of 3 of the screens from the VIP Dean Martin room and the ability to turn on the radio and watch from your room. The staff and owner are extremely friendly and helpful. They really do go out of their way to make your stay a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this for a nostalgic get away and as a treat for your kids if they haven't experience the fun of a drive in. read more

Aside from the downpour that nixed a good flick My stay at the Starlight was really a kick. It's quirky and charming and well worth the trip. Peter does run an immaculate ship. It's true that Colchester's not quite a hip hub But Burlington's close-ish when you want some grub. Bonnie and Clyde were my suitemates one night When next near the lake, try this place - a delight! read more

Staying here for 3 nights. Super affordable. The room is very clean, and beds are comfy. Our room had a mini fridge and a microwave. The drive in theater looks cool, but it was closed for the season. Our tv stopped working, and the owner came over to tried to fix it. Super friendly and nice. Offered a credit cause of the tv. Id stay here again read more

One of the nicer motels you will ever stay in. Everything looks new and high quality. My wife and I enjoyed our time here and began to remember fond memories of times gone by. I believe that I slept like a man without a continuous memory of the war. And I had a dream about myself and Ronald Reagan on a sail boat on the Bering Sea, riding out a storm and laughing with our shirts off. My only complaint is they don't have a Ronald Reagan themed room. Fix this and I'll add a 6th star. read more

My boyfriend and I usually stick to super cheap motels, and as such, we're usually stuck with some pretty gross places. THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING. And while still being affordable! Sparkling clean, for one thing. Brand new everything (I think it's only been open for a year or so), and quirky, themed rooms. AND a drive-in you can see from your window! Seriously, putting a hotel next to a drive-in is pure genius. This is my favorite hotel and I will stay here exclusively when I am in Vermont from now on! Now can everyone stop talking about it please, so we can keep it our own hidden treasure? Thanks! read more

This place was wonderful for my kids. We will definitely come back again. After we spent the day in downtown Burlington it was really nice for them to play on a playground and go to a drive in movie theatre. I love this place! The owner seems very, very nice also. I can't wait to go back! I am pretty sure the one bad review on Yelp is referring to the other motel with the same name in Bennington. read more

Stay here! If you think you are going to stay somewhere with a perfect view of lake Champlain you are wrong. It's not that kind of place. Get out of the hustle of Burlington and stay in this cute little motel. Rooms are updated, clean, and theme decorated by movie stars. We had the Marilyn Monroe room. Only bad thing was the overwhelming Lysol smell every time we opened the door to enter. The owners also own the drive in movie theater next door and you can either drive your car in to see the movies for free or watch screen one from the hotel gazebo. There's a permanent radio to dial in the sound but we could not get it to work. We ended up taking our radio alarm clock from our room out there and had an amazing time. Bring bug spray... You will need it! read more

Clean, cute and new. Nice beds, linens. Such a nice little spot. Each room is decorated for a different movie star as the owner also owns the 4 screen drive-in theater next door. In season free passes to the theater or watch from your room with sound available thru FM stations read more

A little off the beaten path, but worth it! This is probably one of the best tiny old-style motels I've been in! Everything seems almost brand new, the rooms were gorgeous (and movie star themed), the WiFi was reasonably reliable, the staff was great, and the beds were insanely luxurious. The free drive-in pass (I think it's the same owner) was a nice bonus, too! read more

The rooms here were wonderful and the staff was incredibly friendly. I have rarely been happier with a motel stay. We stayed in the "Martin and Lewis" and lounged in bed throughout our visit watching movies on the awesomely placed TV. The location is fantastic as well, very close (walking distance) to restaurants, small-town pubs, and necessities (grocery, Rite-Aid, the local diner, etc.) I could easily make staying at the Starlight a regular mini-vacation thing--I want to go back in the summer and check out the drive-in. I'll definitely be returning. read more

This place does not have a front desk to check in. As we entered Vermont we began calling the provided number and left 3 messages and call back number. Nothing. As we got closer within 10 minutes someone anwered and said call when you get there. 10 minutes later we arrived and called. No one answered. One person drove in the parking lot got out then entered a room. So after 20 plus minutes waiting still no call back or anything, we decided to go elsewhere. Seemed shady. I`ll stick to the normal places that have a proper check in system. And they charged me 1 night. Scumbags read more

We stayed in room 3, Julia Roberts. It was impeccably clean with nearly everything in perfect working order. Extra sink, great bathroom, darkening shade, large flat screen tv, and the drive-in movie theatre next to the hotel was free with my receipt! Fantastic!! Really appreciated being able to check in extra late, they were very accommodating to my schedule. Kept up on the linens and room was always clean. Mini-fridge and microwave worked great, a/c was plenty strong. Bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows, we really had no complaints whatsoever. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay, we will be back!!! read more

Room was amazing. So clean, so well maintained. I would stay here again in a heart beat. I had to leave early because of outside complications but would be happy to come back to the Burlington area and stay here. It's located close to the Long Island trail and lake Champlain (bike ride away). You can also see free drive in movies at their movie theater daily which is super cool. read more

I can't say enough good things about the Starlight Inn. Upon check-in I discovered that my credit card had been blocked (for suspicious activity). The owner said he'd hold my room while I called to straighten things out. I ended up having to call Bank America twice for a total of 45 minutes before my card was unblocked. The owner held my room for me despite there being 2 other calls to rent the room. Once in the room I was very satisfied. It was spotless. There was a bathroom with a tub shower, toilet and counter with a sink. Just outside the bathroom was another counter with a sink, microwave and coffee maker. Below the counter was a small refrigerator. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. I slept like a rock! When I was leaving one of the cleaning staff asked me if everything was okay with my stay. I didn't want to leave!! read more

I started this review last year after we stayed here but I forgot to publish it! I was really impressed with this place. We decided to stay last year because it was snowing back home and we didn't want to drive. I wasn't expecting much because the price of the room. We were pleasantly surprised at how spacious and clean it was. It's a short drive to Burlington and has a diner across the street. I wish we stayed in the summer so we could make use of the drive-in. We are coming up tomorrow to stay and are very excited. read more

Our goal for today was to visit Vermont Teddy Bear. With that in mind, we searched for a random place to stay yesterday. It took all of five minutes to find and book this place. Super cheap and stellar reviews so we gave it a shot. Very impressed with the whole experience. I love that it was movie themed. John Wayne room baby! Inside was spotless. No stains or suspicious hairs to be found. The bed was a little uncomfortable for me but I liked the size (king). Got to see free movies at the drive-in next door which was awesome. Tickets are included if you stay. I enjoyed Batman vs. Superman! A must stay if in the area! I'd go back! read more

We stayed at the Starlight Inn and had a wonderful room! The owners are very nice, the property spotless, the bed comfortable, and despite being off a major road, quiet! And we got to enjoy a free drive in movie!! One of the nicest stays we have had period! Can't wait to come back. Thanks! read more

I've posted this on google and I am repeating it here lest anyone make the mistake of staying here. While the stay in the room was adequate (hardly five star, as their rating would indicate), the owners' responses to a problem were deeply disturbing. Here's what happened. We accidentally left two things in our room when we checked out. Discovering this a few days later, we called to ask if the items had been found. The owner said that they had. "I have them right here" were his exact words. We asked them to send the items, and he asked for our credit card information. It all seemed rather minor and correctable. Except we never got the items, and we never got a phone call telling us what had happened. We've called repeatedly and the best explanation we've gotten is that the "Post Office must have lost them." Each time we have called, it seems we have had to remind them of the problem They can provide us with no tracking number. There is no transaction on our credit card. And, they claim that they did not insure the package. When asked what we can do, their reply has been essentially "nothing." So we are SOL and they seem indifferent. Next time you're in Burlington, stay somewhere else. read more

What a great find. Family owned 11 unit Inn next to the family own drive in. Just renovated in 2014. Clean and had everything you needed Mini Fridge, Coffee pot and microwave. Had a sink outside next to the microwave as well as in the bathroom. They have free wifi and large LG flat screen TV mounted on the wall. It is near a great little dinner and there is other restaurants close by. Have already booked again for future travels to bring my children back to college at ST. MIKE"S. Only 15 minutes from the college. I hope they will do well and stay in business for a very long time. Not often are there family owned Inns left...this one is a treasure! read more

Overall, this was a really nice and clean hotel. The room was immaculate and the bed extremely comfortable. Each room is 'themed' with movie stars (which means there are a few pictures on the walls) and I stayed in the Newman and Redford room. This ties in to the fact the family also owns the drive in movie theater right next to the hotel. My only negative, as almost everything was better than promised, is that the claim of sound proofing is greatly over rated. One night (of the 4 I spent there) there was a room party on one side of my wall and what I can only guess was a newly together couple to the other. I didn't get to sleep until after 3am with all the screaming, door slamming and nocturnal activities. Bummer, as I used this as my base of operations for vacation and an entire day was impacted. I still give it four stars though, and I'd stay there again but don't put any stock in the soundproofing claim. Otherwise, great place for the price. read more
