Had to do an extended stay here for months and I couldn’t have picked a better location. The People are inviting but yet keep to themselves. The owner and the management are magnificent.
It has been an experience that I can not really complain about. The staff as well as the tenants have been very friendly and accommodating. I've been assured that there is security surveillance on all parts of the property which is and was my biggest concern.
I stayed there a year ago, August 2014. The owners are really nice. They are working on the place, and in the mean time giving people a cheap place to stay. I asked to be put as close to them as possible, for the extra security, as I was a girl traveling alone. They put me in the first room right by the office and I appreciated that. I had no problems. Since I was traveling on an insanely tight budget and couldn't afford the hotels up the road, I was so grateful to find this place. The rooms are dated and in need of work, but they're perfect if you just need to lay your head down for a couple hours. WiFi was fine for me, it was probably your device, or you weren't close enough to the office.
Broke down on 65 near here in 1982 with 2 friends. Spent 5 nights while waiting on repairs. Cost us $10 a night... That was crazy cheap even back then! Owners invited us to their cook out on 3 nights...amazing! Wonderful people...made us feel like family. Great memory!
My brother got stranded in kentucky with no car money or id i was trying to help him from iowa and knew nothing about kentucky. Not in only did the owners let him stay but they helped me find places that wld deliver food to him and helped me get him to the greyhound bus station the next day which was 45 min away. Cannot believe all they went thru to help me to help my brother. Definately unforgettable!! amazing owners and staff! Such a help and a blessing. Especually Crystal at thw front desk
I have stayed here several times in the last 4 months. I love it here. Staff is super friendly and very helpful. Cheap rates. I loved the beds and the room!! I would recommend to anyone who needed a place to stay!!
Not anything special but was the only motel that didn't have crazy prices for the holiday. Room was very basic with ugly furniture but clean and nice staff.
Great price s Smoking rooms and friendly helpful staff
I didn't stay at the star motel but I did see the rooms and they look very clean the owners who own the star motel seem very nice and very welcoming
Cheap rates and friendly staff. Don't expect anything more than a bed and a shower, but no bugs and room was clean. Probably hasn't been remodeled since 1987. Can't complain though.
