    I didn’t like the neighborhood. It was really bad. There were some vans outside making a very loud noise (I guess the motors were running to provide AC) I had to sleep with earplugs.

    The room was cleaned.

    We arrived at 5 p.m. after hours of driving and were told the room would not be ready until 8. There were 4 men in the courtyard with a foldable table, and the vibes were weird.

    I liked the nostalgia as we stayed in this motel before, the first stay was way smoother though. Parking was easy and there was A.C.

    The hotel is in a seemingly dangerous area and we didn't dare go out at night. House facilities are old.

    What I like about starlight valley Inn, is that the rooms are cozy with a comfortable bed, good heating/air conditioning, a mini fridge, and there was cable, which hotels that I've stayed at didn't even offer. My complaints are that while I was given a card key to open my room door, the scanner did not work. My door was always unlocked and I did not need to scan my card key to open my door (huge safety concern). The toilet had drops of urine on it, which I took upon myself to clean. I was given 2 towels, but no wash cloths. The internet connection here is very poor. You will be relying on your phones mobile data or a Hotspot. Staff were mutual, neither rude but not happy either. Not welcoming and seem to just rush people along. It's more of a motel. I paid about the same price for an inn in seattle which had breakfast included.

    I didn’t like that the property didn’t have the TV working or the remote control and when I called to let them know, the man was rude to me and hung up the phone. He said there was no one to go out there and fix it. I was just letting him know that the TV and the remote control we’re not in working order.

    We reserved a room for one night. We decided to stay again so we reserved it again the next morning. The owners wife came to our door at checkout time and told us we had to leave until 3pm. Then we could check back in. I have stayed at 100s of hotels and never have we had to check out then check back in. They were very rude about it and tried to get more money from us. And on top of that they charged us for a late check out and kept our deposit.

    When I extended my stay to the next day, the lady working at the desk told me I needed to go back and get my ID, despite having already shown it to the young man who initially checked me in the day before. She forgot to return my ID after I checked in, and I didn't realize this until a bit later in the day. I panicked thinking I had lost it, and when I went to the front desk to retrieve it, I was at first told that there was no ID there. Then when I insisted they check for it, they found it and gave it back to me. It's a fairly minor complaint, but I did think it was rather odd that they asked for my ID twice. I also think the $50 deposit was unnecessary, considering the rooms could have been cleaner. The sheets appeared as if they'd been used, but luckily I'd thought to bring my own blanket with me and just stopped the sheets and used that one for sleeping.

    The young man who checked me in and addressed my concerns was most professional. The location is a pretty one atop a sunny hill, so I was able to take some great photos of the surrounding area. This was my first time being in LA.

    We arrived early because we had requested early check-in, which had been approved. A person at the front desk told us our room wasn’t ready because there were still people there and that it would be ready at 11:00. We returned at the time he mentioned, and there was another person at the front desk. They told us the room we needed with two beds was already occupied and they didn’t have one for us. As a solution, they told us they had a room with one bed for two people and could give us another one, but we’d have to pay for it separately. In the end, they didn’t provide any solution and recommended another place to go. There’s no point in making reservations here, and the customer service is terrible.
