Pros: The location is within walking distance to the shops and beach.
Cons: This room was more like a B&B without the luxury of an inkeeper and a free
breakfast.We paid almost $200.00 for 1 night for basically a bedroom with a bathroom .Keep in mind,this was off season.If I knew beforehand what I was paying for,I would not of booked at The Star Inn.We travel often ,Ive stayed in much more spacious,comfortable beautiful hotels for much less. I felt like I wasted a lot of money ,I would call the hotel first,ask them to describe exactly what the set up is regarding your room.

Pros: Location to beach and Congress Hall facilities.
View of the ocean was very nice!
The price was very good!
Clean
Housekeeping staff in the morning were very friendly and welcoming!
For one night, it was okay..not great!
Cons: Smelled musty upon entering the room.
Very dated; not charming like our room at the Virginia was a few weeks ago.
Bathroom was rustic.
Could not find the coffee in the morning.
Would like to have stayed in the motel section; I think we would have enjoyed it more!
Was not nearly what we expected! Accustomed to much nicer accommodations!
No breakfast; was not included in our price, I guess.

Pros: The linens were lovely. For a modest room, it was comfortable for one smallish person. The location is unbeatable. Parking was convenient.
Cons: The woman who was in charge of the rooms downstairs in the annex was helpful and thoughtful.. The people at the front desk in the big hotel were not. One, I should say, was quite dismissive when I asked some very simple tourist questions.

Pros: Excellent location near ocean and mall, king bed, 4 tall windows with some view of ocean, across street from Congress Hall, close to great eating places, on-site parking, table & chair by window to apply make-up.
Cons: Room #3 has in-room sink instead of in the shower/toilet area. We prefer bathroom with 3 pieces in one room. This provides more privacy for dressing/undressing and to wash hands after using facilities. Would suggest adding a curtain around the sink.

Pros: I liked that I could actually see the beach from our room.
Cons: That there were dirty linen bags right I front of my rooms door when I arrived. And I was not impressed with the front desk staff, I too work in the service industry and its a shame I didn't feel welcome.

Pros: There is room to sit and relax, the mod spin on Victorian decor is very comfortable and fresh. Everything was clean, comfortable and just slightly luxurious.
Cons: One small complaint is that, on the weekend, the Boiler Room night club across the street caused a good bit of noise when we were trying to sleep. The rest of the week was fine, but don't know if that would be true in the busy season.

Pros: I loved the cozy feel of the room...we wanted something cozy but not a bed and breakfast so this was perfect. Loved the historical aspects of it too but also loved how the room was updated. It had a great view of the ocean and I loved the proximity to Congress hall and Washington Mall.
