What guests think

At LA Crystal Hotel -Los Angeles-Long Beach Area, travelers frequently praise the friendly, helpful staff, included breakfast and secure parking, and the convenient access to shopping, freeways, and public transit, making it a practical base for short stays.

Rooms are spacious but dated, with uncomfortable beds, thin windows or non-blackout curtains causing traffic noise and early light, and microwaves often shared per floor. Cleanliness feedback varies: many areas feel tidy, but some guests report worn bathrooms, dirty or old carpets, smoke odors, elevator downtime, and occasional bug issues. The neighborhood divides opinion; security and garage parking help, yet several guests felt unsafe outside, while the gym and Wi-Fi can be unreliable. Overall, expect solid value with notable trade-offs.

The room was very spacious, fridge, coffee maker,safe,good view of mountains on east side. Depending on traffic at times it took 30 mins to Disney. Breakfast was probably the best selection of all my hotel stays. staff were all very friendly and kind. Shout out to Fred who is the best. Lots of security in lobby and outside which makes you feel very safe. Pool and jacuzzi were nice. Would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a great hotel experience at a very affordable price for all you get. Had a wonderful stay.

Once you know parking, it’s convenient and easy. Although, for someone coming the first time, it may feel complicated and uncomfortable. I loved that they gave us few water bottles, also checkout at 12 is a huge plus. The room is pretty nice. Bed was ok. It felt shaky and unstable. My biggest issue was gym. It’s on the second or third floor. And when I got there, I couldn’t use treadmill. Then I saw the sign that to use treadmill you have to go to the front desk and get a special key. Common! I was ready to exercise and only had 30 minutes, but now I had to spend another 15 minutes going back to the lobby, getting the key, then going back to the gym. Then go to lobby before going to the room to return the key. This was VERY inconvenient and time consuming. I am totally taking a star off for this experience.

In general, a good stay. The lobby is huge, all marble. Staff is mostly latino, but speak english. Breakfast is abundant, with some funny options (chinese style) like steamed vegetables, spaguetti with salsa or macaroni salad. The room was really big, with fridge, 3 bottles of water every day, coffee maker but no safe.House keeping daily. A very resourseful shopping center next block, with aTarget, Aldi, Best Buy, Home Depot and plenty of fast food options to choose from. Free, convenient parking. On the low side: windows deserve a good cleaning, and the elevators were out of order for a while on my last day.

Stay 4 nights with family. Property was close to highway, restaurants and other convenience stores. However, the property is dated and needed a a lot of improvement. The gym is ridiculous, the machine are old and some broken snd the rest seems unsafe to use. So go for walks instead. Pool door was locked when try to go and staff was unaware it was not open. Property is clean in some areas. The furniture is dated in the room the bed is uncomfortable, make noises when you move around or to get out of the bed. There’s one microwave for each floor. Staff was courteous and kind greet is politely.

The hotel (room, staff, breakfast) were all excellent - and there was a pool, fitness room, restaurant and casino on site. There was a retail park with plenty of shops (including groceries and dining options) within 5mins of the hotel, by walking through the car park. The area felt safe. Although a little out from the centre of LA (30-40 mins via public transport), the hotel was well located for public transit to LAX and to Long Beach. The only negative was that the gate which used to directly connect the metro station to the hotel is now sealed off - so it is a 10 min walk from the station (bus and metro) to the hotel...and probably one you would not want to make with any luggage more than a backpack and small wheelie case. Overall, a great stay - and I would happily stay there again.

There's a lot of potentialfor improvement for this hotel that can make it an amazing experience. Updating the rooms, especially the bathrooms, beds and floors can take this from a 2/5 experience to a 5/5. The lobby is beautiful but the stark difference upon moving to the upper floors with rooms was shocking. The carpet is very old and there's a lot of minor cosmetic flaws riddled throughout. Feels like going back in time but not in a good way. The rooms are also really old and the beds were very worn down and even on the bedding there were stains. The bathrooms also looked very worn down with peeling paint and coating peeling off the bath tub. There are other hotels not far with competitive pricing that offer much simpler designed rooms but look modern and fresh. A simple remodeling could do so much and i would rather support business in my home city when possible. Staff was very friendly and the breakfast options are excellent for the price but I cant recommend staying until some work is done on the rooms.

Breakfast option was alright, very limited. No options for lunch/diner. Hotel is in a off patch of LA and without a car, not sure how you would get around. Quite a drive from main attractions, local to long beach which was a favourite of ours to visit. Rooms are very dated,lots of traffic on the freeway nearby so wouldnt be able to have window open when it gets too warm in room

She was able to assist me with getting copies for my flight as well as advising that I had access to a computer in the reception area so that I could put in a new request to Verizon for a new phone.

All in all was the worst stay I have ever had at any type of hotel/casino. I also had family staying in this hotel and they too were not happy with the stay. I will say that the staff regarding my issues in my hotel room were quick to rectify however, it took them 3 complaints over a few days regarding the air conditioning in my family’s room before they move them to another room. Too much to write at this time. Overall experience was not that great for both myself and my family staying at this hotel. They need major improvements inside and out.

There was no hot water during my stay, I requested for them to bring towels my second day and they never did. They said I noted I didn’t want room service but who in their right mind says that for 3 nights? Bathroom had smudges, towels were rough. The pillows and bed were uncomfortable. The air is so loud you can sleep every time it kicked on it sounded like a bunch of banging. The bar at the casino doesn’t let you order more than one drink an hour and they make you feel judged if you drink rather than play at their casino. Would never stay here again. I can’t stress enough that the pillows suck and the bed is rock hard. Also, if you like the curtain touching your ass while showering then stay here but it’s a tight tub and the curtain is cheap - didn’t even have magnets to stick to tub. Didn’t take much pictures because honestly would’ve been a waste of space. But I did post their note for not having hot water.

I come from a small town. When I heard we were staying in Compton. I was a little worried about the area and safety. Although I felt very safe in the area and the parking garage was locked at night which put me at ease. The staff was very friendly and polite. The continental breakfast was very good and had a lot of choices. There are numerous shopping areas and places to eat nearby. Close to the highway as well. That though was also a bit of a downside. Heard cars passing by all night. Almost sounded like our window was open but it was obviously closed. It wasn’t enough to keep me up or anything though. I really enjoyed this stay and would stay here again.

That’s my biggest complaint right there. Sushi and macaroni salad are not breakfast foods. The staff was awesome and so kind and helpful. We definitely would stay here again. Minus the breakfast lol
