Five Stars for The Star Inn!
Our stay at The Star Inn far exceeded my expectations! My family usually stays at Congress Hall during the holidays, but decided to give The Star Inn a try this time. The location can’t be beat as it’s located directly across the street from Congress Hall and all the festivities on the lawn. We even had a lovely view of the carousel from our room’s front porch! The service was excellent! The inn keeper was so friendly and accommodating, it felt like we were being welcomed into a family member’s home! The rooms were spacious, clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated! My husband and I loved that we could get a delicious latte from The Star’s cafe each morning. We’re looking forward to our next stay at The Star Inn!

Perfect for quick stays
It’s mostly what you would come to expect from Cape Resorts. Access to the highlights of each hotel, beach plum farm toiletries, etc. We stayed in the main house, queen size room and it was fine. Great size closet (small room) and very good size bathroom. Decor was cute, great access to town highlights and a coffee shop in the lobby.
