Great Place for a Hiker
I’ve read some other comments about this being an older property. Honestly, any motel is going to be older. I found this motel to be in very good condition overall. My room was very clean and very comfortable. It was fully stocked with all of the typical hotel items. The kitchen was stocked with most anything you would need, though I only stayed one night and did not cook. The back yard was full of several small decks, grills, and other items that would allow you to enjoy a summer evening outside. I’ve stayed in a handful of motels as I’ve hiked in the Adirondacks and Catskills regions and this was the cleanest, most comfortable, and best maintained. I would definitely stay here again if I am back in the area doing more hiking.

Property was clean. Amenities were as advertised. However, shower temperatures fluctuate from hot to freezing. Stovetop was uneven, making it somewhat difficult to cook.

Outdated, but I could see they had tried to their best to look like a new and clean property with tight budget. It smelled something mold. It could be from old carpet? I wanted to rate 3 stars, but I gave 4 because it’s an excellent location for ski resort and the kitchen area inside room.

The check in was quick and easy. The room was very decent. The beds were comfortable. There was a nice kitchen and the rest room was clean. It is a perfect room for a quick stay before hitting the slopes.

Check-in was easy enough but not secure. Room had some decorative upgrades but need more. No phone in room, no clock/alarm clock, trash bins in bathroom and kitchen only. Rug was stained and not clean in one area of the room, a false eyelash was on the bath towel, a pubic was on the toilet seat, and both beds had indentations where someone previously sat or put their luggage on them. Were the sheets clean? No clue. Wi-Fi may have been available, but I don’t know where the password was, therefore unable to call, text or communicate through my phone. I had no internet access and no phone in the room, which meant I had no way of communicating with anyone should there be an emergency. The motel is still following Covid guidelines, which also meant guests were to have no contact with/enter the office. Unsafe. During the night, there was an enormous boom that sounded like a blast, bomb, cannon or explosion. The motel shook. Very scary, considering no ability to communicate with anyone in case of an emergency. Whoever rated this motel a ‘10’~ sorry, it’s not a 10. I know it’s the mountains… Catskills… but if that’s the best they’ve got, then I’d say it’s quite rustic. If renovations and upgrades were done, it’d be a much better place to stay. I hope they do:)

The beds, room and kitchen were clean and comfortable. The management here has clearly made an effort to make guests comfortable. Amenities that one would expect at a 4- or 5-star motel, like new towels, toiletries like shampoo and conditioner, coffee and coffee maker, campfire and firewood, iron, and more are here. Like many Catskill inns, the Starlite is showing its age after decades of use and generations of tourists. It badly needs a reno. There is still a market for a 2-star strip motel where your car is parked just outside the door, but its time is passed. It would be nice to think the Starlite and other inns like it, with an update into the 21st century, could survive and thrive when the Catskills eventually recover and rejuvenate from an economy that has left this region a sleepy backwater with fewer tourists willing to make the drive and tolerate a lack of good restaurants and attractions like museums and historic places. The Catskills are beautiful. They offer unbelievable opportunities for hiking, camping, skiing, snowshoe outings and other outdoor activities. It would be great if the Starlite could be a part of a thriving Catskills region in the future.

The rooms are immaculate and well furnished. The owner, Michelle, is very gracious and helpful. We have stayed there many times and she has always gone out of her way to make sure that everything is just right. As she describes it, it is our "home away from home". It is very close to Pine Hill Lake and other nice features.
