“Great Times at the StarLux Motel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011
3
people found this review helpful

I stayed at the StarLux Motel twice in the past 5 weeks and both times were a fabulous experience. The suites are spacious, clean and comfortable. The rooms are decorated in a style that you would expect to see in the pages of a magazine. The lighting fixtures and fabrics which were used in the design of the space transports you back to another era but still feels very modern at the same time. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a free breakfast and bikes to use. The location is perfect with the beach, boardwalk and nightlife only steps away. I can't say enough about what a fun motel this is to stay at! I am looking forward to a return visit as soon as possilble!

Room Tip: I loved having a balcony with an ocean view to watch the sunrise but every room at The StarLux is a...

“Fun, clean, great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

I stayed at the Star Lux with my 2 young daughters overnight recently. They loved the way it was decorated, especially the lava lamps. The room was very clean, had a small kitchenette area (coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator) and along with the queen bed, a pull out chair. The pool was closed (it was November), but the jacuzzi was ready! It was super easy to to get to, it is on the main road coming onto the island. It is just 1 block off the beach, near the famous Wildwood letters and beach balls. The continental breakfast was small, but fresh-bagels, pastries, coffee and juice. Service was very nice upon checking in and out. I would stay here again.

“We just LOVE The Starlux”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011

people found this review helpful

We LOVE the Starlux. We started staying there for "Hot Rod" weekend back in 2000" with another couple and did that for 4-5 more years. We loved staying at the Starlux and told many of our friends about it. We've also stayed other weekends and somehow always caught great weather...be it November or April. I think of it as a "lucky little getaway". We bring our bikes down with us and ride all over town. We've only ever done a long weekend but I'll tell you that's just what the doctor ordered. We love the rooms and the atmosphere but most of all we LOVE the hot tub. There's just something about being able to sit out there and relax out in the open like that. It's been quit a few years since we've been able to get back down but the weekend that we stayed just recently was a wake up call. I think we'll be taking long weekends more often because I'll be honest the weekend we just spent at the Starlux was really quite "sweet" !!

Room Tip: We loved the suites on the fourth floor on the beach end becuase they have all have balconies

“Doowop done right”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011

Close the end of Rio Grande near the Wildwood sign lies one of the Wildwood Gems. Our last trip saw four adults in one of the Starlux's 2 bedroom suites. We found the room to be everything a traveller should expect from a first rate hotel/motel. The room itself was well maintained, very clean, and well sound proofed (stay somewhere with paper thin wall, and you learn to appriciate thick walls). The Starlux stuff were friendly, very accomodating, and had the fire going in Starlux's retro lounge.

Mornings at the Starlux started with the complimentary contienental breakfast (something rarely seen in Wilwood). Other complimentary services and ammenities include free wifi, bikes and beach chairs (more useful in season). Staying at the Starlux has you within 1000 ft of the boardwalk with the beach beyond that; the convention center and the rest of the boardwalk is just a few more blocks to the north.

Starlux puts you close to everything that Wildwood has to offer, and reminds you how wonderful it is to travel when you stay where people care about having you as a customer and truely do want to see you come back time and time again. We will be back for another round of Starlux treatment.

“Weekend getaway”

Our first time at the Starlux and what a delight! We had a two bedroom suite and the accomomdations couldn't have been nicer. The small kitchen with microwave, fridge and coffee maker (with dinner ware) is convenient and just right for morning tea before venturing out to tour the shore area. Complimentary wireless, continental breakfast and lounge area are added bonuses to this Wildwood gem.

I would highly recommend staying here on your next trip to Wildwood.
