I came to this area of Florida for a hunting trip and did a lot of research on area motels. The staff was friendly and the price was reasonable. The room was well maintained including the bathroom with clean sheets, and towels. I was comfortable and pleased at how quiet it was during my stay. I would definitely stay again... More

Stayed here one night on business and my room was clean and modern. My price was fair so I will return. Looks like they recently remodeled and changed their name in the process. Sonny's BBQ down the road, score!

We were in a lovely, upgraded twin room, set back quietly off the road. Comfortable beds and large bathroom with modern vanity units. We were extremely comfortable and happy. All the staff members were polite and friendly. The owner is a lovely lady who couldn't do enough for us. We are from England and she gave us loads of helpful... More

This is an older motel done over as an Econo Lodge. You will be pleasantly surprised. Very clean, great beds, at least in the king sized room. Frig and micro but no coffee in the room. The bathroom is the smallest I've ever seen in a hotel but updated and nice. The people are very helpful. Breakfast is all prepackaged... More

I picked this motel for my recent stay in Starke because of the TripAdvisor reviews. I stayed several days and for the first few I had the place to myself. It was nice and quiet. Even when other guests started coming in, it was still quiet. Every staff member I encountered from the front desk to the maintenance man was... More

This little roadside motel is wonderful in every way. The reception/breakfast area is immaculate, the staff is friendly, and the guest rooms are spotless. The rates are reasonable, and the icing on the cake is they are pet friendly! Look no further!

I did a lot of research before deciding where to stay on my drive from Chapel Hill, NC to Naples, Fl and looked at several towns. What persuaded me to stay in Starke were the reviews for this motel and I was not disappointed. I booked ahead of time and I'm glad I did. It is very unassuming from the... More
