Detailed Reviews
The rooms were clean and the staff were some of the best in town. AC worked and the kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans which makes it so much easier to cook for the family. Washer and dryer in the room made it easy to keep our clothes fresh and clean. I definitely recommend this motel.

Head and shoulders above the rest. The hotel staff never stops working to make your stay perfect. Michelle worked with me on multiple questions, changes to reservations, and accomodations. She was super patient, very informative, and caring enough to ensure we were provided an amazing stay. Elayne and Sarah were incredibly helpful, constantly available, and made sure any needs were taken care of. Angelo is a non-stop machine that makes sure every detail at the motel is just right. His never ending fountain of energy helps makes the place sparkle. With help from everyone at the motel, I was able to put together an amazing marriage prososal that was the icing on the cake. It can't be easy dealing with as many people as come through this motel, but everyone here made it just about one of the best vacations ever, so much so that the kids were asking if we were coming back next year. Can't wait to be here again!

Do not expect for them to clean the sand out of your room. Also the pool closes at 6 PM. Yes the pool closes at 6 PM so be prepared after you have a nice day at the beach and you’re trying to have dinner with your family but you cannot go to the pool. There is no explanation why the pool closes at 6 PM but they close earlier than any place I have ever been in 25 years. They claim due to Covid they cannot clean your room so be prepared to track sand into your bed at night because it will
Be all over your floor and they will not even vacuum. They are very nice people and the pool was very clean and the location is somewhat decent which is about 2.5 blocks from the beach but like I said if you’re looking to have fun with your family this is definitely not the place you want to be. No other pool I have ever been at closes at 6 PM and like I said they blame Covid for not cleaning your room so when you go to the beach and you sleep in your bed at night expect to have sand all the way up your back it was the most uncomfortable experience I have ever had. And like I said they do not even try to work with you They simply blame Covid for not cleaning the rooms because that seems to be the new way of getting out of doing basic hotel duties. Do not stay here spend a little more money and stay in a place that actually treat you like you’re on vacation.

We are very sorry you feel this way. Thank you for the feedback but we would like to touch upon some things. Although our sign says pool closes at 6 PM we always keep it open until way later (some nights until 10PM). We would also like to point out that protocols of the entire world are different from COVID - not just at our establishment - and we are trying our best to work with new normals. With that being said, thank you for trying us out and we wish you many great vacations in the future!

My family has been coming here for 10+ years and would never consider staying anywhere else. Not only is this the perfect location, the motel is spotless. The rooms are perfect and I recommend getting a suite. Has a full Fridge, stove, keurig coffee, pot, dishwasher, and washer and dryer. It’s also Fully stocked with pots pans and dishes. if there’s anything you need, they will accommodate as best as possible. There’s also ice in the office and 24 hour coffee. It’s about 1 mile from Seaside Boardwalk across the street. You have a miniature golf and arcade and a few restaurants for a quick bite to eat.
The beach is only one block away and beach badges are also included with your stay. I also forgot to mention they are also barbecue grills for us to use, which are always clean and ready to go.
I’m already looking forward to coming back next year. I have a group of 40+ people and we come here every single year. Our group is getting bigger and bigger and I highly recommend it. You couldn’t ask for a nicer staff either

My elderly mom and her sister were lost and ended up at this small gem. During the evening of their stay I spoke with the staff and they were very understanding concerning their lost situation. They even took my mom shopping for beach attire nearby. Both my mom and aunt had a safe and comfortable stay at the Starlight Motel. I would like to say thanks to the wonderful staff for caring.

Love, love, love the Starlight Motel - wonderful, friendly staff; spotlessly clean rooms; fun pool; perfectly located for a shore vacation. Close to the beach, there are spots to get faster/good shore food, nicer restaurants, and plenty of great places for kids, all nearby. I have gone there for the last five years and I could not recommend it more highly.

We were lucky to get a room at the Starlight this year. I can’t say enough about how friendly and accommodating the staff was. The hotel is very clean. We arrived early and our room was ready! The hotel is located just a very short walk to Ortley beach. It’s also located directly across the street to a really fun Arcade Barnacle Bills. I will definitely be coming back to the Starlight.

This review was a long time in writing - The Starlight was the setting for a family wedding at the end of the season in 2021.
The rooms are large snd we were all well cared for during our stay.
After arriving home, I noticed that I had loss a very valuable and special pair of earrings. Even though the hotel was closing they looked everywhere!
Alas, as they reopened this year, I received a call from the Manager to say the earrings were found, in their pouch behind the bed as they were cleaning! She sent them back to me the very next day.
It speaks to a very customer oriented experience. If you happen to find your way to the Jersey shore- Sleep under the stats at the Starlight!
