Absolutely the CLEANEST budget motel we have ever stayed in! All the furniture and facilities were kept in immaculate condition. Very impressed for a place so affordable. Booked the place primarily because it was walking distance from the OC Fairgrounds. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Will definitely stay at again!

The Star is a bare bones affair. It's a great place if you're in town for a concert or a night or 2. You get cable TV, comfortable bed & clean shower & bathroom. The area has improved greatly over the last several years, you can walk at most times of the day or night w out incident. There are several eateries all within walking distance and the area is serviced by the OCTA bus's 71 & 178.
