    A few tips for future travelers: arrive early if you want to enjoy all the goodie’s, and take time to explore the nearby attractions, as there are several worth visiting. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

    The staff wasn’t very attentive at all. I booked a room in advance and I’m sure the staff knew I was going to be there for two days in a row. The room they gave me didn’t have a closet or any place to hang any clothes up. The room was booked for two adults and there were only two very thin towels and one face towel in the bathroom when I got there. I booked a non-smoking room and the smoke detector had been removed from the ceiling. The microwave that was located outside of the room needed to be cleaned and it didn’t work well (took too long to heat up the food). The parking lot is very small but that’s typical for the Los Angeles area. The photos that Starlight Inn La Brea have posted on Hotels.com don’t look anything like the actual room that I stayed in. Me being from Las Vegas maybe I’m spoiled because I’m used better service and better accommodations. Me personally I will never book this motel ever again.

    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 Overall room needs repairs upgrades very outdated beds, styles the only thing in the room comfy and clean was the chairs.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.

    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.

I was telling her that I needed hand towels and she said they were in the room and I told her that there were none. She should be fired never smiled and not friendly at all. I have stayed there several times in the past and never had a problem. She should not be in customer service at all.

    Changed room 3 times, none were clean. Hair in toilet, skid marks on walls. “Smoke free” rooms reeked of marijuana smoke, bathroom smelled like urine. Extremely unprofessional staff, poor management, waiting on refund.

    Good location but the room was too small and not very clean. The bathroom, too, was not clean. Nobody came to clean it on my second day there. No microwave. It was nice to see two water bottles and a small bag of chips, but one of the bottled water was open and it was evident someone had drunk from it. It was noisy as you could hear people screaming almost the whole time I was there. Internet access was inexistent. Check-in wasn't really friendly; it felt like I was being done a favor.

    First off it looked as if the laundry department did not put clean sheets when I was walked into the room I noticed hairs on the pillow cases. Not only this but the walls and the couch as well as bathroom were very dirty walls looked like they needed a good wipe down. I myself cleaned the room and when I left it looked clearer than when I booked the room. The staff was rude and service all together was bad would not recommend.

    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!

    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

    I had to jerry-rig the jacuzzi drain with saran wrap to make it work but it was a real highlight of my trip to feel like Al Pacino in Scarface. The mirrored walls around the hot tub were unnecessary though, as I do not need to see how fat I got recently lmao. Other reviews rag on cleanliness, and sure, they could throw a new coat of paint and swept under the bed, but who cares. Also, unlike other reviews, my stay was notable for the ABSENCE of any bed bugs so that was good lol.

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 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.

    The rooms are not correctly advertised. I booked the better looking room which was listed as the smoking room. And when I got there I was put in a room that was totally different. At first I was like okay let's just make it work. The room was so gross that I couldn't stay in it unless I sanitized everything and even then I was like the room was so bad that there was no way I would get myself to feel comfortable enough to go to sleep in there. There was no way it had been cleaned prior to me arriving. It was so disgusting. The point of unacceptable was when I was cleaning the fridge (that didn't even work) I found thick layers of mold on the fridge. I went and I told the front desk. He switched my room after showing him I had booked the room that was nicer than this one and I showed him the pictures on the advertisement, the mold, the shower curtain that was being held up by a piece of cardboard, the food container that was on the ceiling over the bed??. He then tells me that I have to pay him and $20 cash to switch the room but the rooms were both listed for the same price.I started to sanitize all the surfaces covid-19. Not only was the room not repaired right it had mold thick mold covering the fridge which didn't even work anyway. .

The shower wasn’t cleaned at all the person before us dyed they’re hair purple the dye was all over the shower walls and curtains. The small refrigerator was dirty and smelled bad. My friend stated in a different room and her room was also disgusting. When we told the guy in the office he just kept saying no and I even told him I’ll show him the mess and he just said no again. It was a horrible stay the bed was as hard as the floor I definitely will never stay here and will never recommend it to a friend. Is there anyway I can get a refund?
