Stargazer Inn and Suites
Room was very clean and nicely done. Lighting outside was a bit bright so our room (203) had light filtering in through the blinds. Staff was very pleasant and courteous. Overall a good, economical place to stay. Renovations being done that seem like they will make it an even more pleasant place ...

The room was newly renovated and very clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable. There was a microwave, refrigerator, and a safe. The inn is across the street from the shopping center, and close to restaurants. The room rate was exceptional. We would choose to stay there again.
