So I came here not knowing what to expect . I wanted to have a romantic evening with my boyfriend. So my friend told me that they have a room with a jacuzzi which I taught would be perfect. The gentleman in the office was nice, and his wife is such a doll. The wife helped me fix up the room with rose petals on the bed. And light up candles cause I didn't want to light wax ones for safety issues. And she even offered to light them up as soon as I gave them a call to let them know I was on my way. They accommodate me in so many ways. I would definitely come back to the STARLIGHT INN.
Management and housekeeping are the best! Very friendly and responsive. Clean sheets, towels, and always pick up the phone. Area has cameras and is safe too.

I loves these rooms, bigass beds they have mini fridges, some rooms have microwave if not 7/11 is open 24/7 , flat screen TVs, ice machines, hot showers, everything was amazing and for only $180 a night with the jacuzzi tub.
Sprawling multicultural area with art galleries on West Washington Blvd. & Little Ethiopia eateries.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in California. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
