All rooms in the motel are equipped with a flat-screen TV. The private bathroom is fitted with a shower, free toiletries and a hairdryer. At The Starlight Motor Inn the rooms have bed linen and towels.

We liked the attention to detail, and that is was so retro! Just like it was advertised to be. This isnt too far from Charleston as long as you have a car. Just 10 mins to everything. The bed was so comfortable and had quality pillows for a good nights rest.

This smoke-free North Charleston Coliseum Red Roof Inn is located off Interstate 26 Exit 209A and features free WiFi, 24-hour reception, and free parking. Northwoods Mall is 8 minutes’ walk away.

Charleston International Airport is 6 km away. The motel is also within 32 km from historic Boone Hall Plantation & Gardens and Sullivan’s Island Beach.

Reading all these reviews made me sort of…. worried about this place but honestly we didn’t experience any of them! Our stay was very pleasent, it was quite, we could take a good rest. The room was clean, wouldn’t say spotless but was perfect for 2 nights. Neighbours were respectful, we haven’t seen any “sketchy” people either. I personally recommend this place! :-)

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    If the hotel is under renovation, they should close it during renovation or inform clients before we book it. We paid full price for a below average motel.

    I was really surprised by how nice this motel was. It was just as comfortable as a hotel and the breakfast was very, very nice. The woman who takes care of the breakfast bar, Veronica, does an excellent job. She keeps everything very clean and well-stocked. The rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet. I particularly liked the beds, which were very comfortable. The location was very good. Nothing special, but plenty of restaurants and eateries to choose from. I would definitely come back.

    The property has changed ownership and has changed the name. Was previously a Motel 6. I stayed there once before the property had changed hands and it was horrible- I would not have stated that location again had I realized it was the same property but just to change the name.. It has very much improved. I would stay there again. The location and the price is definitely worth it and they have cleaned up overall exterior, and made improvements in the room, cleanliness and fresh upgrades.

    Everyone was awesome that works for Red Roof. I was able to get clean towels without a fuss. They don't forget if you need extra linens. This place has been the best to stay at since I haven't stayed at a motel in 13 years.

    Great breakfast. Great location in a wonderful city. A block from King Street, the lovely shopping street, and a short walk to neighborhoods. The staff were lovely and friendly and went the extra miles for us ( after two weeks on the road, we’d gone through our clean clothes and they did a wash for us). Free parking on site. Great wifi, comfortable beds.
