The hotel staff was efficient and polite if not overly friendly. The room was very clean and this is an absolute must for me. I'm a bit phoebic when it comes to hotels because they're usually so dirty but this room was very clean. The room was good sized and the bed was comfortable though the pillows were completely flat. The hotel was old (30 or 40 years?) and the carpets were worn as was the furniture and so on but it was well maintained and did not have that shabby feel. There was a table with a couple of chairs as well as a basic desk completely with a comfy office type chair in the room. The internet worked well enough for my husband to check his email but dropped him several times. The cable television did not work very well, most channels came in with snow or static but we watched so little I didn't complain. There is an indoor pool in the center of the hotel which is lovely but made the halls unbearably hot and humid. The heat and humidity did not extend to the rooms themselves. The air conditioning unit worked well and kept the room at a nice temperature, it was loud but we saw this as a bonus. A group of traveler's were staying that night and they all had large barking dogs but the air conditioner completely drowned out the noise. The hotel does not let animals in the rooms but evidentally they do allow you to leave them in your trucks overnight which I found odd. When I checked in at 5:00 pm I was pleased to find that the staff had made sure a light was on in the room which made the room seem welcoming, this was a nice touch. There were a hand full of ice machines providing free ice which we took full advantage of for our cooler. You can enter the hotel from a number of outside entrances which means you can park near your room and not have to lug your luggage very far. The outside doors all opened with your room card-key which provided us somewhat a feel of security. In addition the hotel room door had two additional locks that you could lock once inside

Clean and comfortable rooms in good location. Poolside room was too noisy. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were recently updated, clean and comfortable. Restaurant was very good. If you don't need poolside access be sure to get a room away from the pool as it was too noisy.

Friendly and helpful the receptionist. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Nice pool and hot tub. Close to shopping. Ants in bathroom. The hotel room was ok. The bed was kind of hard. It didn't seem fair my sister and I both got rooms but checked in at different times. She got free coupons for breakfast we did not. When I asked they said they made a mistake and gave her one. In the morning we had ants in the bathroom. But you know it is getting to be spring. The restaurant was awsome. I would stay here again. Not perfect but worth the value. (ask for softer bed)

Service was good, questions answered appropriately, everyone was friendly and cooperative.

Friendly staff. The pool made it too hot to sit outside your room. This hotel was very clean, and the staff was very helpful. I would stay there again if I were in need of a hotel in that area.

	Date of Stay: August, 2007
The staff was very accommodating when we had problems with our room. Our room was not cleaned when we went into it and we had to move to another room. Everything was great except the fact that the room was not clean that they sent us to. They were very nice about getting us another room right away.

Value for money. A convenient location, comfortable room, and attached restaurant make this hotel a good choice.

	Date of Stay: May, 2007
The temperature in the hallways was extremely warm and humid. I also wish you offered a continental breakfast. Have more ice machines also. I felt it was old and needed updating. For the money we should have been offered a continental breakfast.

	Date of Stay: May, 2007
All non-smoking and a good clean smelling hotel. Very impressed with the staff, cleanliness and pool area of this hotel. Will definitely try to stay here again.

	Date of Stay: October, 2006
Clean and comfortable. No free breakfast. This motel has changed it's name to "North" something. It is not Starlight Village!! This caused us a little confusion but we were advised at the desk that the Name had been changed. I would think Best Western Reservations would be aware of that fact.

Awesome swimming pool and hot tub area! Our outside view was of the hotel wall. Was very easy to find, staff was very friendly and courteous. Rate was reasonable. Great family hotel with large swimming pool and hot tub. Had to have only the hot water on in the shower to have a hot shower. Older hotel, but kept up reasonably well.
