Dirty, outdated hotel. Bathroom window was open upon arrival to air out the smell of sewage. They wanted to charge $90 per night at the hotel. I would never have stayed here if there were better options.

Worse hotel ever!!!

All I have to say is OMG the worse hotel I’ve stayed at in my whole life! The front desk lady was so unprofessional, the rooms were dirty (the bathroom’s waste basket full of trash from previous guests). We were moved to another room (room 24) and it smelled so bad and the bed was so lumpy my back was in so much pain the next day. They also started sweeping in front of our room and banging the broom against the door at 7am they also kept hitting the wall with rims or barrels don’t know what it was but it was loud and made the wall shake ( mind you that’s the wall where the bed is) that went on for 2 hours 5am-7ish. I got up grabbed my stuff and took off to the Holiday inn near by to get some rest. What a waste of money And time. DO NOT recommend to anyone. You are better off sleeping in your car. If you do stay here don’t say I didn’t warn you!!

You know those places you walk in and realize the reviews were probably fake and you’ve made a big mistake? This. On the plus side, the owners were friendly and responsive to our requests (specifically to install a missing smoke/CO2 alarm since another room was not made available to us). Also, it’s cheap. How it gets such high ratings I don’t know. The sheets/toilet/sink/bath appeared clean, but everything else was filthy including deeply stained fabric chairs we didn’t sit on as they looked like we could catch something from them. We wanted to leave but the reservation was non-refundable and we were tired. You get what you pay for I guess. On another note, the donuts down the street are great and the people running it lovely!

Just a place to sleep. The bed linens were interesting didn’t seem to be made to fit correctly the bottom sheet was an undersized top sheet that quickly was displayed and this revealed a quite disturbing bed stain (looked to be blood on the mattress) don’t know what else to say…

Horrible for what you pay

This place is expensive for what it is. It’s in very poor condition, looked dirty, shower was stained and cracking. The towels didn’t even match it’s like they found a bunch of towels at the Salvation Army and just put them in there. Travelodge inn is a tad better and at a lower price. On top of that, they charged me $5 dollars extra because according to them on the app it didn’t say it was for a couple. Most hotels won’t charge for two people reserved for a king size bed but this place did. Never going back again

Great Value!

Loved the front desk person ~ she was a real delight. They are rennovating some of the rooms with new mattresses, etc., and I don't know if ours was one of them, but the bed was comfortable. The towels need replaced (very worn) but maybe they'll get to that soon. Room was impeccably clean and quiet. I will stay there again when I'm in town.

Worst stay ever

The towels smelled moldy and were supposed to be white but in reality was a dingy grey the door frame was loose with boards coming out of it after being poorly nailed in. Granted I didn't expect something very nice considering the price but this place having three stars is a pure joke

Horrible bates motel

Owner will go in your room without permission. The owner will go in the room pretend to clean the room but will turn off the a/c to save on electricity in a 90 degree weather. The towel are like rags you used for cleaning cars. Soaps and shampoo are non existent. Glad I pack some. Owner will give you a hard time if you ask for soap and shampoo. The parking lot is used for hangout for people drinking all night. Will not stay here again even if its free.

No frills motel at a reasonable price

There is nothing fancy. But the room is clean, comfortable, quiet, and cheap. It could use more towels and better soap. The internet can be slow. The staff is very helpful and take pride in how clean the property is. It is a good place for a stopover on the I-5 and there is a Black Bear Diner nearby.

Passing by. Okay place to stay.

Got in at 11:30 p.m. and left by 6:00 a.m. Hotel was okay. Room had been reconditioned recently. Okay place to stop when passing through on the 5 Fwy. Good price. Only negative was the shower wasn't clean. Looked like water / scuz had backed up through the drain.

Room so dirty we left as soon a we could

My significant other and I were planning on using the Sun Star Inn as a pit stop on our two day drive between Portland and San Diego. We were not expecting anything fancy. Both of us are extensive travelers and used to the motel life. Nonetheless, the Sun Star Inn was an exceptional let down. The good/non-bad: -Neighborhood is fine, extensive parking, lobby was fine, person who was working behind the counter was fine. Everything you would expect to see at a place you're paying $55ish a night for. Right next door to a breakfast place. You couldn't hear road traffic once you were in the room. Right on the main thoroughfare out of Los Banos. The Bad: The room was filthy. I don't mean, slightly dirty because you're paying $55/night. I mean, filthy. The carpet, which was dark, was covered in gray dust all along the corners and the edges of the room. It was if it had never been vacuumed. My boyfriend started coughing and sneezing once we got in the room, so I lifted up the mattress by the wall and discovered a pile of dirt between the mattress and the box spring on one side. Wanting to explore the other side, I lifted up the mattress again and discovered, what we both believed, to be rodent sized droppings (along with more dirt and dust). Upon seeing this, we left. We we're so disgusted by the cleanliness of the room that we left, without even asking for a refund. We just wanted to get out of there as soon as we could.
