Stardust Motel

I moved back to LA from up north and was exhausted. I was so pleased with the motel when I got there. Very clean, safe, quiet and peaceful. I checked in for a week and the rates are very good compared to what you get with other motels. And it’s a very pleasant property across from Azusa Pacific University with a gorgeous view of the mountains. I would highly recommend this place if you need a clean affordable motel.

I did not enjoy my stay here at all. I wanted to rest because me and my boyfriend were so tired from a long drive and clearly didn’t want to get out of my car because I was so exhausted and gave my card and my ID to my boyfriend and to tell the clerk I was in the car which be aware was very parked where he can clearly see my face. He then immediately gave my boyfriend attitude and my boyfriend came into the car saying he wanted me to come in there since I was paying… so when I went in he gave me immediately attitude as well… when he was asking me what kind of room I wanted I specifically told the clerk me and my boyfriend don’t smoke and to not give a smoking room and I do not think this man even understood me because he clearly gave me a key to a smoking room. I was too upset to even argue with him about the room so I dealt with it. Also the sheets had burned marked from probably a cigarette and also had some blood on the sheets. And the tvs stink man they only let u watch one channel. Don’t ever come here you’ve been warned

this is the worst place i have ever stayed at i will never stay there again!!! there beyond rude and have the most unbelievable attitude and customer services fist i had to pay 30 $ to check in a hour early and it took them about ²⁵⁄₃₀ min to actually get me a room… than they would not give me an extra towle than the next mourning the disrespectful lady from the office still wouldn’t give me towels and walked to my room yelling and screaming and tried barging in because i had company susposly and kicked me out… after i had paid over 200 $!!! i hate this place it’s a piece of shit just like the ones who run it i

Rooms are clean, I was very nervous to find bed bugs or any other kind of bugs but for the past 4 times I’ve stayed here it’s been clean.
TV is nice and most have an hdmi port on the side. If it doesn’t it’s in the back and hard to reach.
Microwave and fridge are always clean.
I never use hotel or motel towels anyways so I can’t really review those. I use my own.
The tables are really wobbly because the legs are messed up so don’t put too much stuff on the tables
The AC in most rooms works amazingly but in some it’s not that good. But still keeps the room cool
All outlets have seamed to work fine.
Shower is clean and water pressure is decent.
Floor stay pretty clean but I’d still wear slippers or sandals.
The wifi is what needs to be improved. If you stay in one of the far rooms from the office you will have a really hard time getting a good wifi connection.
But I’ve even experienced bad wifi in rooms not far away from the office.
The wifi fluctuates a lot. And majority of the time you are getting speeds close to 1mbps if that.
I haven’t had a problem with cleaning staff. And the front desk is bearable. One guy kinda has an attitude but it’s nothing people shouldn’t be used to.
Overall stay was good. Just needs improved wifi and fixed tables.

If I can give this motel ZERO stars I really would. The staff are INCREDIBLY rude as heck. My mother made reservations online and when we arrived to check in the person at the front desk asked for her ID and also asked for the last 4 digits on her card and when she gave it to him he argued with her for 5 minutes that the card she gave was not the card she used to reserve the room and after he realized it was the same card he went on to ask if she wanted a smoking or non smoking room (mind you pressed non smoking when reserving online) and she said non smoking. He said over and over for nobody to smoke in there and when she said we do not smoke he made a sound as if to say «yeah right». Mind you he did not apologize for arguing with her about her card. And my mom made a reservation for a room with 2 queen sized beds, when we got to the room the beds were TWIN SIZED! She was already fed up with the rudeness of the person from the front desk she decided to drop it. And during the night we couldn’t even sleep because people were busy arguing outside and just causing a lot of noise. We already had low expectations of the place and if we could have we would have booked elsewhere if the hotels we usually book at were fully booked at and this was the first place that popped up. But never again will we come here. And it’s under new management? Looks like you need to either have a attitude adjustment or resell the place to someone else. Also have a more accurate advertising of your room and pay attention to the online reservations!!!

I came here with low expectations of the place after having driven by a few times and knowing people that have stayed here years ago. The front sign looks like something from the 70’s! I had heard that they remodeled the place so I thought we’d roll the dice and give it a shot!
When we walked in to the lobby, we got a stench of something unfamiliar cooking in there plus it was humid. It didn’t smell appetizing that’s for damn sure! We were in and out of there in 5 minutes so that was good.
We requested two beds and when we walked in, one of the beds was missing the comforter. We called the front desk and it took them a couple of hours to bring it and when they finally did, we weren’t there and they just threw it on the bed. You would have thought they would make the bed properly.
Same thing with the towels. There were only enough towels for 2 but there were 3 of us. When we requested another set it took a while and it was damn near like pulling teeth. There towels have a really strong odor of bleach.
The toilet didn’t work. It didn’t flush when you pushed down on the lever but instead had a continuous low flow flush! It did it’s job enough that we just lived with it for the couple of days we were there instead of bothering and having to wait hours or days for results.
The floors look nice and all but beware of walking barefoot. I guess they try to live up to their name through the floors cause they sure were dusty! I doubt it’s STARDUST though! My wife made the mistake of letting our baby play on the floor in her white outfit. The downfall of having flooring in a motel.
All in all, for 85 bucks a night, I wouldn’t stay there again. There are many better options in the area.
My brother in law and his wife got a single bed and were welcomed with mirrors on the ceiling!
There weren’t many pictures online of the place to see the rooms so I posted some!

It was k.

This place stinks, literally and figuratively. It is a horrible first impression when you walk in to the lobby and it stinks so bad and is very warm. Service was very slow to check in with a reservation and has many different rules, which the man at the desk said was because of them being an independent hotel. Thankfully, the rooms did not stink and have been renovated. However, the pillows are less than comfy, no kleenex, no coffee, the refrigerator leaked water (only for a short amount of time). You must be careful if you come with kids, the first thing we saw when we turned on the TV was an adult porn movie, not appropriate for children. We did not know that this was an amenity provided and were very disgusted. In addition, when we arrived right outside the door under the stairwell was a baggy full of what appeared to be urine. It stayed there during our entire two night stay. We chose this motel due to it being walking distance to family. When 1 family member attempted to come talk for a brief period of time to us and notfied the employee of such when he was questioned. However, he was advised that he was not allowed to visit and if he did, they would call the police. This place os an absolute joke. We will definitely take our business elsewhere in the future.

Had the EXACT same experience/​issue as Ken C. Do NOT book a priceline 2-​star for this area, or you will get stuck here.
This is NOT a 2-​star hotel.

Priceline shouldn’t have put this Motel into the 2 star category that is comparable to Comfort Inn, Ramada Inn or even La Quinta Inn. There were no Kleenexes, no coffee pot, the towels had holes in them, there were roaches crawling around, the table was unstable, my mom gashed her leg brushing her leg on the bed leg that was sticking out (support for the box spring and the bed was also nailed into the floor). We heard there were drug dealing in the parking lot according to a guest that was there for 2 months. The manager was very grumpy and unfriendly and the older folks there didn’t speak much English. There was not even a clock radio and no desk lamp. One of the staff was extremely rude and wouldn’t give us extra bedding material and said not to ask them again because too many people were asking them for items. Also check-​in was 2:00p but the elder lady that was at the front desk said to wait until 2:30p because the manager had to pick up the kids. The lobby had no A/​C and was extremely hot. One word to describe the manager is «Hostile.» What kind of motel hands you a remote control after you check in?
We called Priceline for a refund and cancellation immediately after getting the results of the bidding after looking at the results/​pictures of the bidding but Priceline wouldn’t allow us to cancel. Overall a very horrible weeklong experience at Stardusk Motel.

Stayed here for 2 nights — best deal on
. This is obviously an older motel, but the bathroom fixtures are clearly newer– and to their credit, the tub is solid, not one of those cheap plastic kits that make you feel like you’re going to crash through the bottom if you step too hard. And the stall and countertops are all marble/​granite, which was a surprisingly nice touch. The tv is newer, the sheets are soft and comfortable, and the rooms are actually quite spacious. I did find the flooring a little odd– no carpet, which might be more sanitary but made the room seem even more bare than it was. Check-​in was quick and friendly enough, but there was no coffee in the rooms or office, and the swimming pool has been landscaped over. Fine for sleeping and showering, could really use some kind of coffee service.
