“Nice, basic motel with excellent service. Stay with no worries!”
In reading the other reviews here, I was nervous about booking a room at the Stardust, but after reading decent reviews elsewhere, I figured it was just the super-picky nature of many of the TripAdvisor participants that gave this motel many low marks.
We arrived in town just after 11am, the office was open, and the gal at check-in was pleasant and accommodating. We asked if there was a lower level room available, and she did some switching around to give us what we wanted.
The room hadn't been cleaned yet, so she called the maid, who happily moved from an upstairs room in the other building to our lower level room and cleaned it so we could get in early!
Next we noticed there was no refrigerator in the room, the maid said this was the only room without a fridge, and a guy doing maintenance in one of the other rooms said he'd just grab the fridge from that room and bring it to ours - again, above and beyond.
The "maintenance man" asked if there was anything else he could help us with, provided me with a map and tour book for Wallace, and then said he was the President of the Chamber of Commerce - Scott was extremely helpful, and really started our stay in town on a high note.
Our room was large and basic, the television was small and the carpeting old, but everything else was immaculate and in very good condition. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was spotless!
We were in the older (original) section of the motel, there is also a newer wing, which I would assume is also well-maintained.
Although others have mentioned the office isn't staffed at all times, we found someone there in the middle of the afternoon, the evening, and even at 11pm. I think they keep it staffed during peak season.
The Stardust is no resort hotel, and won't win any beautiful architecture awards, but for a good night's sleep in a clean room, you can't go wrong.
Wallace itself is home to some of the nicest and most accommodating people we've ever met during our many travels. Every clerk and worker we talked to went out of their way to make our stay memorable and fun. I can't say enough nice things about this place!
