Loved our stay at The Star! The rooms are gorgeous and super comfortable. They are clean and bright and the beds are the most comfortable I have ever slept in! The location can’t be beat! It’s close to the mall for shopping and restaurants for hanging with friends. We had a great time. Can’t wait to go back!

My wife and I stayed at the Star Inn for 2 nights as we were getting married. I must've mentioned it to someone because we came back to the room on the 2nd night to a bottle of champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and a congratulations letter from the Star Inn. Was a very warming and unexpected surprise. Highly recommended.

Not happy. Leaky roof forced us to change rooms. New room was on ground floor had no ocean view. I paid for ocean view and got it only for one night. No manager reached out to us after the debacle although the desk clerk said,” management will contact you for compensation “

Freundliches Personal, charmante Zimmer, allerdings hatten wir ein Zimmer (von zwei) in dem es sehr stark nach Chlor gerochen hat. Das war auch für eine Nacht nicht angenehm. Aber tolle Einrichtung und super Lage!
