I stayed at the Star Motel for more than 6 months from February to September. Rooms were exceptionally clean and the staff were more than proficient and friendly. The owners were phenomenal and made every effort to make me feel at home when I had to be away working. There was definitely a family feel environment for me.
The room was excellent very clean. Owner was so nice and helpful definitely recommend staying here.
Perfect for business. Professional and accommodating staff, clean and quiet rooms. An area of light traffic just east of downtown. Restaurants and Grocery stores nearby. I'll defiantly be patronizing the accommodating Star Motel in the future
Very friendly ,very clean I would recommend this motel to any one with Family or working people very quiet and taken care of management is very caring and respectful of your needs .reasonable rates always
The "Motel" is managed by the owner's themselves,which in theory can result in a few touching benefits for a guest at this Establishment. I have to admit, that I was able to see the fact of a on-site, daily basis managing owner. The Rooms were remodel in the recent Past, showing only slight signs of wear. A few minor repairs or oversight items could use some attention. Maybe a more rigorous inspection and routine for maintenance by a Plan would be appreciated by the guests. Overall I am going to Recommend the { Star Motel} of today's point in time.

My fiance and I need a place for one night. We are traveling across country to California and we needed a place to stay cause our wagon broke. They were really nice and great service.
Very nice place to stay clean inside and out.. Lots of space for parking .... really nice big newly renovated room.. staff also very friendly...
Clean and updated, couldn't find a better motel anywhere. Returned for a second time was just as good as the first time. Can't say enough good things about this place. You will not go wrong staying here. Cant wait to return keep up the great service.
Had the look of a roadside hotel from the outside, but the rooms were excellent. The maids did a great job of refreshing the rooms. Internet was alright. Cable was great. Would definitely stay there again.
