Not very welcoming the staff was pretty much bothered i was there in first place. There was a white stain on the comforter and loose hair under on the blankets. Bathroom is in need of serious upgrades and it was dirty around the toilet area dried boogers by the toilet paper. Overall room needs repairs upgrades very outdated beds, styles the only thing in the room comfy and clean was the chairs. The bath towels were also stained dingy looking glade we brought our own and stayed only one night. Supposedly it says microwave in room but its actually outside like a communal microwave and to get ice there was a charge. Will not be staying again.

If you're used to budget motels, this one is excellent! I am an older female traveling on my own and I felt quite safe here. Staff members were friendly and helpful. Rooms are very nice and clean, inside and out. Grounds and rooms are well maintained. I was able to park right in front of my room. It was quiet. Couldn't ask for anything more!

I had a bad experience at the place. When I entered the room, the smell was like cigarettes, the floor was sticky, the walls were stained, and The bed sheets smelled really bad, like armpits or someone who hadn't showered for days had stayed in them. the guy at the front desk was very rude and threw the key at me. I didn't say anything because I was tired and there was a lot of noise next door, someone playing music late at night. I totally do not recommend this place.

Stay Away if you like comfort and safety....

I travel a lot for work and stay at motels often to help save money. Its usually for one night, so no big deal. The rooms at Starlight are comfortable and clean, my only complaint being the cardboard thin pillows. The pillows (I kid you not) where at most 2 inches thick each.

The bigger concern? SAFETY. One, when I checked in, rather than checking for my hotels.com reservation, the lady at the front desk assumed I was a John who needed the room for a few hours for a hookup. Which, I'm annoyed to say was the room next to me. They had plenty a good time as the guy next to me had several loud ladies over all night.

Then there was the homeless guy. Throughout the evening he walked the property banging on doors, yelling at people and even setting things on fire in the parking lot. At one point I called the lady at the front desk and told her \"hey, there is a fire in the parking lot\" and she said \"its OK - that guy is a frequent guest.\" I tried finding a hotel nearby with rooms at that point... but no luck. So I decided to truck it out.

11pm - the owner shows up for a hot minute and kicks the guy off the property. That lasts about 2 minutes.

8am - The homeless guy is chasing a family with two young kids to their car waving a bottle at them and screaming. The hotel owners and front desk did nothing.

Don't stay here if you value comfort or safety. Wish I was making this up.

Quite possibly the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in. Blood on the shower curtain, floorboards lifted up, bathroom door kicked in and not even replaced just screwed back to the wall, front door wouldn't lock because it was so crooked and hanging off the hinge that it wouldn't fit, side tables not even cleaned, I can go on and on. Unfortunately due to our late arrival, 3:00 a.m., it was dark and we didn't see a lot of these things or we would have just slept in our car in the parking lot. Do not stay in this place if you value your health or your safety.

Fortunately for us there were more bottom rooms than top. They also said they did not have a handicap room. Well, again person on the phone lied, because there was one room for handicap people.. The place was shady and dirty everything was broken. Our toilet we had to flush 3 to 4 times before the water went down completely, the ice machine was broken. Our little coffee table was wobbly literally rocking back and forth
People above us were walking back-and-forth all nightlong with yelling and screaming outside. People arguing, which was very frightening for me and my son. i will mever stay there again. I would mot recommend it to anyone with small.children or handicapped people

You get what you pay for!

I knew that this wasn't a 5 star hotel when I booked it, so there was no expectation of some wonder room with an ocean view. What we needed was a clean place to lay our heads for a quick overnight trip with the kids. The parking lot is VERY small and we drive an F150 so it was difficult to park. Check in was less than 5 mins so that was excellent. The room appeared clean at first glance, but my daughter moved the pillow on the bed and there was fresh blood all down the side of the pillow. Like bright red. There's no way that anyone that's cleaning could have missed that when making up that bed. We tossed the pillow in a corner and I covered the beds with our own sheets and pillows we always travel with. Thank God we brought them!!! We didn't have any other issues but the bathroom looked that it was a breeding ground for a debilitating disease so we chose not to touch anything other than using the toilet. If you're looking seedy but apparently safe, this is the place!

Not clean

Everything looked “good” when we were showed the room , as soon as we got back from the beach we checked the bed and the blanket & sheets were all stained and smelled like pee. The walls were written on if you really stared at them after a while you could see the writing, besides there was alot of stains on walls , the floor was absolutely disgusting & shower curtain & ceiling had mold. The mattress was very thin and hard so were the small pillows. I do recommend using your very own sheets and pillows as we did. Oh & be prepared to call the receptionist before you go to bed since the people that were sleeping next door decided to play loud music until like 4am. Also we asked for a nonsmoking room and it seems like the people next door were smoking weed. Not that i mind the smell but we had our 2 yr old. Parking space is very limited. You can literally hear everything since the walls are very thin and also the light does come in through the door cracks & curtain. Overall, the cleanliness part was my dissatisfaction since I believe it was pretty pricey for the size of the room compared to other places. I will definitely do more research next time and avoid this place. Not clean at all. I guess it was okay since we literally only went there to shower & sleep

Do yourself a favor and avoid this place.

This hotel had a 2-3 star rating last I checked and I don’t even understand how it could be so high. Maybe there is some rating padding going on.

If I could give this hotel a 0 rating, I would. This hotel puts the \"meth\" in \"meth hotel\". Multiple guests asked me if I had any and my neighbors were awake and loud throughout the night. Watching TV, arguing, domestic violence. It got so bad I had to call the police.

The front desk attendant was not helpful or around. I tried calling and visiting the desk throughout the night most nights and they were absent or augmentative.

The rooms themself were terrible, fist holes in the wall, bullet holes in the wall, missing paintings from frames. Definitely suspicious about bed bugs and the like.

The manager of this place has a really bad attitude. I couldn’t hear what he was saying and he started being very rude when I told him that. Overall, the motel itself was in great condition. The shower had very nice temperature and great pressure. I just wish the bed had more pillows. The walls were thin though and you can hear the neighbors, and the outside noises. But I give the motel a mediocre review. It is a nice place to stay if you need to be in LA for a concert or an event nearby.
