Crystal Inn Suites and Spas LAX

My parents loved this place. It’s super clean, and my mom especially loved the pillows. We came from out of state and was trying to find a good, but reasonably priced, hotel at around 2am, and this one is great. For a last minute reservation, it was about $ 90, but parking is free which is a major plus.
Although it seems to be in a sketchy place, the design of the overall place is really nice and it was very clean. Will definitely be staying here again the next time we come.

Missed my flight so I had to stay near the airport till the morning. This place wasn’t bad at all. I was told it would be $ 79.00 out the door but I needed up Paying $ 90.00, which I wasn’t too happy about but hey it was worth it. The place was clean. The gentleman who checked me in could’ve been a bit more polite and friendly. Other then that I slept comfortably till it was tile to catch my flight. I would definitely recommend this place.

The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. It was dirty and run down. I ask if they had a swimming pool and they told me they did. Well they didn’t lie but it was a baby pool. There was a condom wapper next to the night table and a fake finger nail. When I ask the the cleaning lady to throw them away when she cleaned my room she told me no she wasn’t going to do it. I certainly wasn’t going to touch it. All out bad place to stay

For $ 90/​night, you would expect a run-​of-​the-​mill hotel with dirty carpets, roaches, etc., but Crystal Inn Suites and Spas is anything but shabby. The rooms are immaculate (our carpet was deep-​cleaned the day of check-​in) and surprisingly comfortable (ample fluffy pillows and soft bedding).
As for the staff, on a scale of 1 to 10, they get a 10 for friendliness. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the name of the young gentleman who checked us in, but he was very knowledgeable about the area and made us feel right at home.
Perhaps the best part is the free EVERYTHING including parking and wifi! The free continental breakfast is not advertised but coffee is available 24 – 7 in the lobby as well as pastries (individually wrapped cinnamon rolls and jumbo muffins) upon request.

NOTE: Just wanted to update my review… Coffee…Coffee…Coffee. It was simply outstanding… best HOTEL COFFEE I have EVER had. Also I mentioned Vick by name… I have to do the same for Kevin his brother they are both awesome managers.
Well I didn’t know how to start this review because the entire experience was so awesome… so let me start with the only negative thing about this establishment. I was very surprised to find that I had to deposit a quarter into the Ice Machine to get me a bucket of Ice. I can certainly understand it though considering the neighborhood and the fact that there is considerable foot traffic throughout the day. Now with all of that being said it was not nearly enough for me to reduce the 5 star rating this establishment deserves.
Vick and his brothers provide outstanding customer service and will help you with any issues you may have during your stay. The pool and workout area… while small… are very nice. There is PLENTY of parking which is saying a LOT for a hotel… motel…B&B…or Hostel in L.A. County… LOL!!! The rooms are HUGE… we had twin queen beds with wonderful Posturepedic mattresses. I highly recommend room 201 because while near the 105 freeway it is extremely quiet and since the stairway occupies one wall there are no other people to concern yourself with.
The lighting in the room is outstanding… LED lights in the ceiling… along with you standard bed and desk lamps. There were two tables instead of the usual one so both parties can work on there laptops… etc…there was also a microwave… fridge…and ample outlets to plug in all of your devices. The Bathroom was also huge and very nice to say the least along with a pretty good A/​C unit to provide any white noise you may need so you can sleep (me being an example… LOL).
There is no «official» breakfast but they do have muffins… bagels…coffee…and juice you can take to go. They also work with a local restaurant that provides room service 24 hours a day as long as it is a 15.00 minimum. We didn’t use it so I can’t speak to much about that. NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT… since this establishment is literally off the 105 freeway I HIGHLY recommend taking the streets back here after your long day of sightseeing… shopping…etc. There is no turning lane to get into the property parking area and you can’t block traffic. I recommend you pass the property go down about a block or two… make a u-turn…and then comeback towards the property. Now be advised if you get back late enough (as we usually did) you can make a quick left into the property right after you pass the light (Still take the streets though) AS LONG AS THERE IS NO TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU. We were lucky most nights so we didn’t have to pass the establishment and then drive back.
I am pretty sure this will be our «GO TO» destination to stay when we come to L.A. in the future… I will update this review if needed… but in the meantime if your ever in the Los Angeles area… there is no better place to stay than Crystal Inn Suites and Spa. Eat, Drink and be Merry my Friends!!!

What a great place to stay. 5 mins from lax right off the freeway! Lots of great places to eat within 5 – 10 mins. The room was very affordable, very clean, nice big flat screen TV. My husband & I were able to relax the way we needed too. If we come back to LA we’ll definitely be staying here again. Idk wtf the people are talking about not feeling safe in this hotel, sure it’s a less than desirable neighborhood but so what that doesn’t make it dangerous. Must’ve been some seriously stuck up spoiled people because this hotel is everything great everyone has said about it.

Customer Service was great! Very friendly staff, especially the front desk (younger gentleman). Clean and comfortable rooms. The price was right and plenty of parking. Definitely will stay again in the future.

I stayed here over the weekend for a concert at the forum. The staff was very friendly. It was quiet, and my room was clean. I Will be coming back, staying here was worth my trip.

Clean and quiet. Besides, they returned the watch I left in the room! Thank you, Peter!

Only hotel that didnt have any poor reviews. Was going to being in Venice Beach a few days and wanted to stay close but not too close. This hotel was about 15−20mins away feom Venice, right off the freeway.
Staff was great as well as house keeping, had a scare where i thought i smelt gas called the front desk mgr was their in a heartbeat he insured me no gas lines were in the building and even called the maintenance man and the both reassured me no gas lines was there, i think it was just old food we had in the fridge lol
Some of the guest are questionable in the male and female aspects but hey its a hotel i dont mind. Everyonewas quiet respectable and i never felt like i was in any danger or even scared.
Yes its one exit from Crenshaw but i felt 100% safe.
I will stay here again next time.

Stayed here for two weeks. It’s been great servixe. Really clean and conveniently next to free way. I have stayed here four times and will continue to come back.

Great clean reasonable and friendly. If you’re on a budget this is a place to stay. Beds are wonderful. Like sleeping on a cloud

Room was clean and quiet. Location is convenient as it is off a freeway. Since we were busy, we didn’t get to try the gym and the swimming pool but they looked clean. Ray, the manager was very nice. I bugged him couple times to print for me and he was genuinely helpful.

Stayed in a spa room and it was a restful night I must say. Room was spacious and clean. Nice TV with cable channels, clean linens and no signs of any critters around (cause i DONT do critters). Room did not have that cigarette and must smell and the bed was very large and comfy. Went to the office and asked for an iron in the am and the people were always very friendly. Microwave and Fridge in our suite and though we stayed on a weekday it was quiet, sometimes you go places and there is all kinds of noise and commotion going on outside your door, but not here.
Definite good value for the price!

The reviews are accurate, this is a decent hotel in a shady neighborhood. It’s right next to the freeway, and getting into the parking lot is a little bit of a pain in the butt. My only complaint is that the carpet felt pretty grimy/​dirty, and could probably use a change. The bed was comfortable, the room was a good size. There was a fridge, and the room was clean. Otherwise, I honestly have no complaints. The front desk guy was really friendly, and I would probably stay here again if I end up needing a place to stay.

Based on the reviews (claimed as the #1 place to stay in Inglewood on TripAdvisor), I was pretty surprised with my experience here. We booked a family room (4 people, 2 beds). We arrived to the inn at night (2am), and it seemed a little sketchy. The inn is small and family-​owned. It smelled clean upon walking in, but I noticed a small roach crawling across the floor. We turned on the AC, and the fan was making noises. The highway nearby also makes a lot of noise, though closing the window makes it better. Since the AC was too noisy to sleep with on, we ended up opening the window.
All in all, you get what you pay for. Though, considering the cost that I paid (~$ 90), I’d say you can find a better room for the same price, or pay a little more and get a much nicer place. The quality of the room felt inexpensive, but if you’re looking for a quick, inexpensive stay near the airport, it’s not a terrible option. I would have given this inn a higher rating if it weren’t for the roach and noisy AC.
Would I recommend this inn to a friend? Probably not, unless you’re booking a couple’s room with the jacuzzi.

Customer service is pretty good! The spa rooms are somewhat newly updated. Checkin was a rather long process but check out was a breeze.
Everything seemed cleaned. The linens were old fashioned and not the greatest. They are a bit rough.
The price is very cheap compared to others so that’s a plus! Close to the 405 and 105 110 freeways.

Good customer service very clean that is safe and quiet place I would come back again.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Crystal Inn and Spa. The room was very spacious and exceptionally clean. This location is very conveniently located, just off the 105 fwy near the 405 fwy and 5 – 7 minutes from LAX airport.
The manager Ray recommended a local restaurant to us, Al Watan, which had fabulous food, it too was clean with excellent customer service as well.
The Crystal Inn and Spa will be the lodging for us next time we’re in the area!

It looks like these guys have gone through a little bit of theft because there isn’t even a luggage stand. There were no shampoos but there are 5 bars of soap? no bath mat.
The staff is friendly and the hotel seems new but the room smells musty and old.
It’s better than a motel 8… and far from a Marriott or Hampton.
I had to wipe off the table for the computer as there was sticky stuff on it from the people before other than the heavy musk smell it’s not an ugly room…
but there isn’t even a single picture on the wall haha. The neighborhood doesn’t feel super secure there’s a lot of graffiti on the walls around but not on the hotel. If you’re trying to save a buck and don’t mind those things then I suggest coming here.

come to find that Inglewood is like THE most notirious for crime right now. i will say however that i didn’t FEEL that scared… but i also only went out in daylight. this hotel, having the chain name CRYSTAL INN does NOT accurately reflect the normal chain expectations. we paid for two nights, but bit the bullet and opted for a hotel in hollywood because we felt so unsafe. haha our own fault.
