    My husband had his annual duck convention in Wallace. I wasn't on top of my game this year and forgot to book our normal lodging spot. My forgetfulness turned into such a great experience! This " motel" is the most accommodating spot I've been to in quite a while. They absolutely love pets. We traveled with our cockatiel ( in his bird diaper and travel back pack) our Cane Corso, and Great Dane Mix. Everyone greeted our animals like they were movie stars . They offer s'mores kits and have little fire pits all over! This place is adorable with its retro vibe and its SPOTLESS inside! It's so clean and everything from the bed, linens , towels, and microwave is new and revamped. They provide ear plugs for guests but the bed so comfy I was out like a light within minutes! ( that never happens!) The bathroom is still vintage and you will find an old school soda/beer/bottle opener next to the shower. So if you like shower beers this is the place for you! I also forgot my shampoo and conditioner this trip and had to use the ones provided.... I have very curly hair that loathes everything. My hair wasn't a crazy mess batteling me while trying to style it. It's a very good quality shampoo and Conditioner. I plan on staying here from now on.

    A Charming Retro Gem This motel has a vintage vibe, yet very well maintained. My room was spotlessly clean and the bed extremely comfortable. The staff are friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit in the evening... you can even purchase s'more fixings and roast them at the firepit. If you're looking for a nostalgic, cozy and affordable place to stay, the Startdust Motel is a great choice

    Retro!

    My stay was during the shoulder season and I was solo. As someone else said, the neighborhood/location seemed potentially sketchy, but I was assured there was no history of issues at the motel. I liked that parking was away from the street where cars cannot be seen. Staff was all friendly, particularly when I lost the card with my entry code about 2 minutes after I got it. Room was clean and, as others have said, the bed was super comfortable. I liked the combination of updates while keeping it vintage. The reason for the missing star is that the rooms are smoke free, but there is a smoking post just outside the room doors where the front desk staff smoked and the person upstairs was smoking weed on the balcony so the both smells were making their way into my room. So gross! Overall, as a solo traveler during shoulder season, I would recommend staying at The Stardust Motel. it's clean, quiet (off season), and the location is great for a road trip. Just move the smoking stations away from the room doors and it would be a 5-star experience.

    We were recently in Wallace, ID and we took a walk and ended up walking past this quirky, adorable Motel, loved everything about it, but it got even better, they had fire pits and a few guests were outside, we talked for a bit ,went into the office to get some information so we could return and stay here, the owners were there and man, they are so nice, cool and friendly. We were invited to sit by the fire with a glass of wine (that the owner makes ) and a beer for the hubby. We felt right at home and we can't wait to actually stay here sooner than later. I would love to bring our family here.

    This is what I look for when I stay at a non resort place (starting by priority, 1 being bad and 10 being excellent) 1) Price - 8 - we paid around $176 (with a pet fee) for a one bed / Customer service - 10 - my husband and I got a chance to get to know the owner. She was really sweet and super nice. Never was rude to us. 2) Cleanliness - 10 ( there were cracks in the tub). The room seemed very clean. 3) Bed and pillows - 10 - this is the first place that had the most comfortable bed and the pillows didn't feel like maxi pads. Most places I've stayed, the beds are too hard. This one feels like it aligns with your body. The pillows are firm. In a good way. 4) Amenities - 10 ( this has a USB charge stations. This is the first place that had this. This had a microwave, refrigerator, and standard cable) I personally don't prefer the location. The small town vibe isn't really my thing but my husband really loves that. So it depends on the person. Location seems sketch BUT this is a very small town so I don't think crime would be an issue. Just seems spooky. People literally walk around with beer in their cup. Sheriffs drive and around and don't really care. It's a small town, no trouble. The hotel gives you a 70s vibe. They have a nostalgic microwave. From what I observed, the owners just bought this place last year and they are still in the process of renovating the rooms.

    Quirky, fun and dog-friendly!

    If you ever find yourself traveling on I-90 through the panhandle of Idaho with your pup, I HIGHLY recommend staying at the Stardust in Wallace, Idaho. We felt like we stumbled into doggie vacation paradise! The Stardust may seem a little dated at first glance but it leans into its retro vibes with fully remodeled rooms, spa-like toiletries, soft, fluffy towels and luxury beds/linens for the humans. What really sets them apart is how they approach the fur-babies! It's not that they just "allow pets" but they fully embrace them. Dog cookies and pets/belly rubs at check-in and lots of outdoor spaces to sniff and conduct their business. The owners love dogs and you can tell! And this love of dogs extends throughout the town of Wallace too. Practically every store has a dog dish of water outside and many establishments allow dogs inside (grab a drink with your pup inside at 6th & Cedar Espresso Bar & Saloon). Lots of restaurants have outdoor seating (Fainting Goat) which is great for dining el fresco with your pup. We are sad that we only have one night in this cute, historic town but will be back! Four paws up!

    We had the most wonderful stay at The Stardust. The staff was incredibly kind and over the top with any of our needs. The rooms have been remodeled but they kept the retro charm. We rode the Hiawatha Trail and upon returning to our room, they told us they had a water hose out front that is used to clean our bikes. They also have a campfire in the evenings that was the most relaxing experience and we made many new friends. The entire town of Wallace is charming, but The Stardust was our favorite part. 10/10 recommend staying there!

    Love the hammocks that you can enjoy

    I love this place! So adorable & such a beautiful location. The customer service is excellent & they have really outdone themselves with their remodeling. I plan to stay here every time I visit my family.

    Decided to have a stay-cation recently and what better place than Wallace, ID. only 45 min from Coeur d'Alene. Recently redone by the new owners and what a job they did. The bed was extremely comfortable, I felt like I was in heaven the two nights I stayed there. Super clean and homey, couldn't ask for anything better. Centrally located and walking distance from everything in Wallace. The check in was super easy and accommodating. If you're passing through and need a place to stay, this is the place!

    Gotta love the commitment.

    See all

    Our family loved that we happened upon this motel on our spontaneous stop to do the Hiawatha trail.

    We were on our way to Billings, Montana with our four children at the beginning of January, 2003,…read morein the evening, during a blizzard. I was six months pregnant, and driving conditions were horrible so we had to stop. This was the only motel which had a vacancy. I waited in our minivan with the children while my hubby got us a room. I was exhausted, and the kids were tired and hungry. All I wanted was a warm, clean bed to sleep in. The lady at the front desk was really nice. She showed us to our room, and gave us a little history about the place. This was a silver mining town, and a woman by the name of Molly was a "lady of the evening" here. Also, she told us that the room had recently been "rented by the month" by some men who worked in the town. She explained to us, before we saw the room, that this room was called the "Silver" room. "Hmmm", I thought, "a themed motel". She gave us our keys, and my hubby opened the door. I was literally in shock! Everything in the room had been spray-painted SILVER! The lamps, tables; EVERYTHING! The heat was completely turned off, so the room was FREEZING! There was a small heater on the wall next to the window, so my husband immediately turned it on for us. The dust ruffle to the bed was STAPLED TO THE CEILING above each bed! The floor was filthy. Our "closet" consisted of a wire hanger hanging from a nail on the wall. I was in dire need of using the restroom, so headed there next before I complained about the room to my hubby. The bathroom was filthy. So filthy, in fact, that they put a rubbermaid dish drainer rack on the shower floor so you could stand on it while taking a shower. It was old, moldy and FILTHY! I didn't even want to touch the faucet to wash my hands. The children begann to take their shoes off - that's when I had a hissy-fit. No way would I allow my children to walk barefoot or even in their stocking feet on this carpeting! We hurried and got them ready for bed, THEN took off their shoes once in their bed. After I cried for a long time, I put my coat and mittens back on, and left go sleep in our minivan. My hubby immediately followed me outside, as we still had blizzard conditions, and brought me back inside. Needless to say, I slept with all of my clothes on, and we didn't take showers the next morning. This was the most horrible place I've ever stayed in my entire life! I'm a very down-to-earth person, and I would have rather stayed in a tent than here. This is a completely honest review. Be warned: DO NOT STAY!
