worth a look!

This is a well-run, clean location with about 30 units. Management is friendly and maintains the whole place daily. It is no-frills, 'what they provide is advertised and what they provide/do, they do very well.' It is quiet, the beds are comfortable, the place is safe, and it's convenient to the area attractions. Really nice outdoor pool and several firepits and/or covered grilling/eating locations spread around the property. We will stay again!

Lovely place in a lovely town. The host, Walt, greeted us with humor and friendliness. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfy. The grounds are very nice with benches and picnic tables, a fire pit and a pool. This has been a very nice stay and so close to downtown Saugatuk. We would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely love this motel. Rooms are cute, clean, retro. The pool area is very nice and lots of outdoor spaces to sit and relax with groups. So far that is the best mattress I have slept on in all of our travels so far in Michigan. Would highly recommend and we will definitely go back if we’re ever up this way again.

Not Family Friendly

I was skeptical about staying in a motel but thought with positive reviews saying it was updated and clean, we would try it out for our first time in Saugatuck. I was pleased the room and pool area was clean. Room was okay i guess for a cheap couple of nights away. We brought our teenage kids. The manager or possible owner approached my 16 yo son and very rudely told him he could not be at the hot tub by himself... signs at the pool literally say no kids under 15 shall be left unsupervised. The man was incredibly rude and out of line with the way he spoke to my son. We wanted to checkout early and stay elsewhere but I tried very hard to not let it ruin our mini vacation to kick off summer. Needless to say, we will NOT be staying here again and DO NOT recommend this place. They are not family friendly and not meant for the hospitality profession.

Very clean and quiet. Location was great in terms of proximity to Saugatuck, Douglas, Holland, and Saugatuck Dunes State Park. We used the pool/hot tub every night and it was surprisingly empty (most people are probably at the beaches or Lake.) Would definitely recommend or stay there again!

My son and I loved this eclectic, revamped retro motel and resort. The location was perfect for exploration of the area and also provided quiet nights. The pool and grounds are well kept and Walt was welcoming and accommodating. We will return !

The Starlite is what I would call an update of the classic '60s roadside motel with a twist. It feels new and modern but has kept the "old school" charm. The staff was welcoming and super friendly but the big draw is the property. The huge pool is phenomenal - clean, plenty of seating in sun or shade, and great for families or adults. There are a couple of fire pit areas, some playground equipment and some BBQ/picnic areas. Everything was so clean and well maintained. Our room was comfortable with a nice bed/bedding, TV with lots of streaming options, and a beautiful shower that had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The rooms as very, very quiet.

Super cute, retro motel; very clean. Quiet. Wonderful pool! Only thing I wish was that the wifi worked properly- the wifi was basically non functional the entire 3 days we stayed there, which was frustrating since there also wasn’t much cell coverage.

It was a very nice hotel. The pool is nice and clean and the owner was very nice and sweet. Power did go out on our second day and night. We had to leave because one of my sisters has asthma and couldn’t take the heat with no air conditioner.
