Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property shares a front desk with at least two other hotels. This makes for a cumbersome and lengthy checkout. Parking is cramped and can be difficult to navigate. The rooms are small, and definitely past their prime. The good news - it's super cheap. If you're in the Straits for a day or two and just need a place to grab a little sleep between activities, this can work.

Disliked: Amenities
The rooms were not dusted, we had a black widow with a nest in our room! Cobwebs in room over lights. The locks did not feel safe at all. The beds where very uncomfortable and not a lot of blankets and pillow options. Very dry room. Did not feel safe there. Not a lot of delivery options available or dining options around. Nothing wanted to deliver to these hotels. There was a piece of an old molded chicken nugget or something behind the bed. I wont be choosing those hotels again at least the Starlite Hotel! Ever!

Problems that need fixing
Internet was very very slow and it took about20 sec to change TV channel. Tub drain was very slow and after a 5 min shower there was 4ins of water in tub. Position of the drain lever made no difference. Plugs literally fell out of sink outlet. This is a fire hazard!! Hotel is old but was clean.
