I have picked up the keys after the brutal murder in the downtown wrecked store, and they are supposed to open a door at the Lucky Star Motel in Hollywood, but I am not able to open a new door there!
The only doors I could open there were one which I picklocked and the other which you get the key from after answering the phone (the video quest)
Are you supposed to enter a third door at the motel in order to find new hints about the Durbin/Muddle murder? I am stuck there
I don't have any saved games in Hollywood anymore, so I can't get into the Lukee Star and look at the doors. Working from memory, I believe there are in fact three doors you can open. One is for the room with the headrunner in it for the main quest. That one requires a magnetic card key. One is for the serial killer quest. It requires a tradition metal key, which you acquire downtown. I believe you can pick this lock open if you have lockpicking 10, or can get lockpicking 10 from Blood Buff. If you have the key in your inventory, you won't get the option to pick the lock. The key icon will show up and you'll just open the door. The third door you can open has no key. You can pick it open, but there's not much inside the room. Some little loot item or spare change, I believe.
Check your inventory and make sure you have Lukee Star hotel key on your key ring. If you do, you should be able to get into the right room. If not, backtrack to downtown and make sure you picked it up. If you can't the Lukee Star hotel key downtown, here's what you do:
Open the console.
Enter this command: give item_g_junkyard_businesscard
This will give you the Brother's Salvage business card, which should advance your quest and allow you enter the junkyard and take on the serial killer.

Thanks for the answer Kindred!
Strange enough, there are only one door with a keyhole, which is the one with the money inside. All the other doors are locked with keycards, except the one from the video-quest.
A - the Brothers' Salvage quest - pick up the business card (and ring by bed?)
B - in use - pick lock - to find wallet and pill bottles
C - the internet cafe key room - not locked - take key
D - Nines - endgame
