I had a lovely family weekend at this motel, which is perfectly situated in a peaceful location just a short drive from Saugatuck. The property was very clean and well-maintained, with plenty of outdoor amenities to enjoy. The only downside was that the room had a slight musty smell upon arrival. Overall, it was a great value for money and provided a relaxing family atmosphere.

My stay at Starlite had its ups and downs. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, a negative encounter with the owner really marred our experience. The location is convenient, being just a short drive from downtown Saugatuck, which is a plus. However, I felt that the owner's attitude towards guests left a lot to be desired. Overall, it was decent value, but I would caution others about potential interactions with the management.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The resort had a serene and peaceful atmosphere, which I loved. The room was clean and well-maintained, but it did have a bit of a musty smell upon arrival. The amenities offered were great for families, but the customer service was lacking at times. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there's room for improvement.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this resort. The location is convenient, and the pool area is a real highlight. The rooms are spacious, but some aspects, like the bathroom cleanliness and pillow comfort, could definitely use improvement. While the breakfast was simple, it sufficed for a quick start to the day. Overall, I think there's good value for the price, especially in the off season.
