This motel has changed it's name to "North" something. It is not Starlight Village!! This caused us a little confusion but we were advised at the desk that the Name had been changed. I would think Best Western Reservations would be aware of that fact.

Was very easy to find, staff was very friendly and courteous. Rate was reasonable. Great family hotel with large swimming pool and hot tub. Had to have only the hot water on in the shower to have a hot shower. Older hotel, but kept up reasonably well.
