    quiet room
    friendly staff
    pest problems

    So quiet, I actually got some proper rest! The staff were delightfully friendly, especially a young lady at night who was super helpful. I forgot to mention the hummingbirds—I think they’re planning a concert soon!

    However, sharing the space with a few roaches felt more like a wildlife documentary than a getaway. Plus, finding broken furniture was a reminder that this isn't exactly a fancy establishment!

    noise disturbances
    occasional pests

    The stay was pretty decent overall. The room was clean and the staff was accommodating, especially when I faced some hiccups like a malfunctioning remote. However, there were some noise disturbances and occasional pest sightings which were a bit unsettling.

    consistent room service

    It was just a suitable option for a short stay in South El Monte with very good value for money. The room service was consistent, knocking on our door every day around the same time. Make sure to find the right spot for the internet connection. it can be tricky.

    cozy atmosphere
    spacious room
    limited towels

    I had a great time using the pool and enjoying a peaceful evening with the microwave access when I needed it most. The hotel had a cozy vibe, perfect for relaxing after a long day. I loved the spacious family room and the comfy beds. One minor hiccup was the limited number of towels, but it didn't really ruin my experience—just a friendly reminder to bring your own! 😊

    common area improvements

    During my stay at Starlight Inn South El Monte, I appreciated the warm and welcoming ambiance. The lobby was well-lit and cozy, making it easy for seniors like myself to navigate comfortably. Staff were attentive and genuinely caring.

    More accessible seating in common areas would help.

    complimentary snacks

    Great for budget-conscious

    The room had really nice blue lights, added a calming vibe, you know. Also, they had complimentary snacks like chips and granola bars, little things make a difference.

    It wasn’t cheap but still acceptable for what I got.

    affordable hotel
    comfy room
    great location
    cleanliness issue

    We had an awesome group getaway! The hotel was affordable and close to some great spots. We visited the Microsoft Theater and the Rose Bowl Stadium, which made our trip even better. Plus, the room was comfy for all of us. Just a heads up, make sure to check your room for anything unusual before settling in.

    One downside was the cleanliness issues. We noticed some dirt in the bathroom area when we first arrived, which was off-putting.

    exceptional service
    clean room
    inconsistent internet
    limited options
    noise disturbance

    The staff provided exceptional service, making my family feel welcome and comfortable during our stay. The room was clean and well-maintained, a relief after long days exploring. However, the internet connection was inconsistent, making it difficult to stay connected. Additionally, the limited television options left much to be desired, especially after a tiring day. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a short stay but improvements in connectivity would enhance the experience.

    local taco spots
    helpful staff
    cozy lobby
    loud neighbors
    unsympathetic staff

    I was stoked to dig into some local flavors during my stay! Starlight Inn is right around the corner from some killer taco spots that had me munching away. The staff was super helpful too, ensuring my late-night check-in went smoothly with that cozy lobby vibe.

    But let's be real, the noise from the neighbors was a total buzzkill for me and my pregnant wife.

    clean room
    affordable rates
    newly renovated
    thin walls

    I really enjoyed my recent stay, especially the clean and newly renovated rooms that provided a peaceful atmosphere, and the affordable rates made it worth every penny. I found the cable TV channels great for unwinding, too.

    convenient access
    friendly staff
    stained ceilings

    some potential but needs serious attention

    The location had easy access to the main roads, making it convenient for exploring the area. The check-in process was smooth, with staff being quite friendly despite communication barriers.

    Stains on the ceilings detracted from the overall experience.
