It’s an old property clean for the age needs up dating on everything

Pleasant staff, we came in super late but the lady assisting us was prompt and pleasant. The room was clean, but there was an unpleasant smell throughout the room. The pillows didnot have the scent, gratefully. For the price, it was a great stay

Very nice place when you visit Mackinac

In my MANY years of traveling, I have probably stayed at a few hundred low-cot motels. This wa the worst. Several things did not work, but the worst of all was that the carpeted floor was sopping wet in places. I have no idea how long it had been wet, or what mold was growing in that water.. Also, there was no one in the office, so check-in was done off site. On the other hand, the woman who came to help was very effective and pleasant. Kudos to her!

Comfortable beds.

I think the price for this room was too high even in peak season.

Good

Everyone has coupons if you partake in their food or entertainment.

Damn heat was on and it was 80 out side, never cooled down. Horrible sleeping conditions. This should be checked by room cleaners, Or staff. Nobody to check it as no employees of hotel on site. NOT GOOD. SUSPICIOUS GUESTS. UNEASY STAY

Washroom locking fridge not working

Check in was difficult because there are 4 different motels in a row that all check in at the Thunderbird (Starlight motel, Budget motel, Great Lakes motel, as well as Thunderbird) therefore, the staff has very little time to deal with problems. Our room had a broken lamp shade, a plug in that was half hanging out of the wall—I could have dealt with these, but the worst thing was there was a baseboard heater that was throwing out heat and could not be turned off. It was 85 degrees outside, and the room was unbearable. When i complained, the desk clerk said, “oh, that happens sometimes “ I said that we wouldn’t be able to sleep, and please could we have another room? He said they were full, the best they could do was call a maintenance man, but he couldn’t get there until after 11pm. Long story short, we were so desperate to get some sleep that we ended up paying $160 more for a room that was cool. It was a king, where our original room was a queen, but what a racket! I was extremely disappointed. They said because I had booked through Expedia they couldn’t give a refund, I don’t know if it’s true,

Not clean. Switched us to budget in. Beside a large open garage door full of dirty laundry

Staff's attention is excellent, they were all very kind. The furniture and facilities are quite old and there's not enough lighting in the room. Even though it was clean, there was an ammonium smell in the room.

You get what you pay for at Starlite

Light

Facility was older, and dated. The bathroom, towels and bedding were clean, but the rooms were musty and the mattress on the bed was definitely old and uncomfortable. We stayed at the start and end of a camping trip to the UP, and the first night we were moved to a room without carpet to address the musty smell after entering two different rooms that each smelled really bad. The second night at the end of the trip was in the Starlite again, but the musty smell was much more faint, so we didn't ask for another room. Musty smell may be in the drapes or carpet? The beds in both rooms were in need of replacement-they were sagging and we ended up meeting in the middle because the mattress was too soft.

Peaceful setting

I was nervous after reading recent reviews. But, it was fine!

They are very polite people and clean

Good
