the StarLux is part of the Doo Wop resurgence in the Wildwoods.

The White Star Motel sports an interesting 4-sided marquee.
UPDATE 03/08 : The White Star Motel no longer exists as such, having been annexed to the Blue Palms Motel in late '06 or early '07. Its neon is one of the few that have actually been put on display in Wildwood's "Neon Garden."Many thanks to Kathi for update. 03-08
