What guests think

Across reviews of American Inn & Suites LAX, guests often praise friendly front desk staff and walkable access to SoFi/Intuit Dome, but many report serious cleanliness issues (roaches or bed bugs), worn rooms, and a rough-feeling neighborhood with noise concerns.

Room size and basics like AC, fridge, and microwave are appreciated by some, but many mention broken locks, damaged floors, sagging beds, and cigarette smells. Service feedback is mixed: cash-only deposits, early check-in fees, and windowed check-in frustrate some, while others highlight helpful managers and easy check-in. Amenities are minimal, with repeated complaints about no breakfast or coffee and paid or unreliable ice and vending machines. Expect a no-frills budget stay with inconsistent standards.

This was your average 2 star hotel. Our 2 room suite appeared to be recently remodeled and was clean. No in room coffee/tea which should be available regardless of the 2 star rating. The website stated free complimentary continental breakfast but there was none offered. The ice machine was coin op and I refuse to pay for ice at a motel so not sure if it even worked. Looked run down. Soda vending machine next to ice machine dispenses warm soda but at least you have a mini fridge in the room.

This place is terrible, and way overpriced! Room 105 was disgusting, dirty, out of date, half painted. I was surprised the sheets seemed clean. Towels were cheap and nasty and dirty. Had to pay for ice. No tea or coffee Staff at check in wouldn’t even help me with 4 large pieces of luggage. It is more of a hotel for ladies of the night or drug deals, not travellers. Never again!!

This place is a mess all the way around. I would not stay here again. I had to leave $100 cash at check in as a deposit. I could not use a card. That’s literally never happened to me. The people at the counter were not particularly nice or hospitable. We had to interact through a hole in the safety window. The ice machine didn’t work, I think the vending machine had New Coke in it, that’s how old it was. We got a room with two beds, but the bathroom was through the other bedroom so I had to walk into my friend’s room to go to the bathroom. The beds were hard, the windows were thin and there was a lot of traffic noise. It’s the little touches though, like the diagrams on the wall from when they remodeled and we’re going to install the toilet paper dispenser in one place but then changed their mind. This is not the worst motel I’ve ever stayed at, but they’re certainly going for the gold.

Don’t stay here. First, customers service is terrible. They are constantly watching you, there is no privacy. Second, room is dirty. Carpet is so dirty the color of the carpet is completely gone. Your feet will be black walking on it barefoot. It also infested with roaches. If Expedia allows me to upload photos I’ll share it. Third, room had mold. Who do I report this too? I know for sure if I told staff about it, they will probably say something along the lines of “I’m blind”. I only stayed here cos we went to a concert and we had a big party that stayed close by but that hotel was sold out and we wanted to stay close to them. We walked back from the concert to our room so they can Uber from there back to their hotel (Cos that area is sketch) and I got a call immediately when we got back. Guy at the front desk yelling at me “get out get out get out get out” I asked for a refund and basically got a “your s**** out of luck”. I’m not racist cos too I am a minority but this “foo” needs someone to show him wassup. Not saying what race they are, but here is a clue, they own all the 7’11.

I was placed in room 109. I saw three adult cockroaches, asked front desk if I could switch rooms. They didn’t argue with me, but ended up giving me the room right next door, 110. This room was infested with baby cockroaches. They were EVERYWHERE. I left after that and slept at the airport. I’m also pretty sure I got bed bugs from this place. Don’t stay here. Ever

There were bugs all over. there was mold in the shower. the light switches were dang near broken. the bed was broken at the top side where you would put your head. Everything was "repaired" with the landlord special. For your sake, if youre thinking of more than night pick literally anywhere else. Sleeping in your car under an overpass would have been better. Staff wasnt all that bad.

The room's floors were dirty when we arrived. We felt grossed out if our feet touched the floors. One of the floor boards was broken. The staff was average, we told them about the room floors and they had them mopped. Both property and area was extremely run down and did not feel safe at all.

The rooms were spacious, but the bed had a big dip or sag in the middle and the bathroom window did not close completely which allowed bugs to come into the room. They also did not have an iron in the room and I was told by the front desk clerk that someone else had it. The iron never became available.

Upon arriving I was asked for a $50 cash deposit in order to have the reserved non smoking room. No where was this mentioned on the site. If this is the policy the property needs to notify guests BEFORE they arrive. I was in a huge hurry upon check in to make it to a show that night. I was told I could go get the cash or be put in a smoking room. As a nonsmoker that is DISGUSTING. I argued with the lady for several minutes and told her she could just keep my credit card… thankfully she finally believed me that we weren't going to smoke in her room. Ironically when getting into bed that night and pulling back the sheet (no real a blanket :/) there were bright visible traces of marijuana residue/crumbs on the sheet.

The room was paid for through American Express and Expedia. The representative at the front desk would not allow us to have the room because my CA Drivers license was a picture of my current drivers license. I had a physical license from 2018 as well as a US passport from 2020. I also offered a visa credit card with my photo on it as well as photo ID from work. I was at a loss for words when the representative at the front desk didn’t even want to try and scan the old license or call anyone to get approval for the multiple forms of ID that I have. It’s now been two hours standing out in the cold trying to get someone from Expedia to help us change the reservation just so we can get into a room in a hotel that already took our money. None of this none of this seems right.

I had a fantastic 7 night summer stay here! Housekeeping was totally professional and timely. The rooms are what you would expect from a low-cost motel and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The only downside is the area--I didn't realize how unsafe Inglewood can be. Constant loud fireworks (potential gunshots) and unsafe streets at night - be careful if you choose to stay in this area. American Inn however, was highly professional and a great place to stay and offered a rate that couldn't be beat anywhere else.

We stayed at this place due to its proximity to the stadium nearby. The staff and cleaning crew were pleasant, everything else was terrible. I was not familiar with the area, but still booked based on the 7.5 star rating. I do not understand how they got this rating. The staircase going to the 2nd floor had a strong smell of urine and cigarette. The room was spacious but smelly. The only dining chair was a broken office chair with old stains on it. The day we arrived we witnessed a family fighting and screaming with their room door open. A staff member intervened to make them stop. At night, when we came back from picking up someone from a concert at the nearby stadium, a US Marshall raid was taking place. There were multiple unmarked vehicles with officers carrying big guns. They arrested the people close to our room, so we had to wait for a while in the parking lot for the raid to end. Needless to say we got out of there as soon as we were able to in the morning. This should be a $20/night place, so don't be fooled by how close it is to the stadium and the fake star rating.

The bed was comfortable, the room had a fridge and microwave, there are many channels available on the tv, and the air conditioner worked fine. WiFi is also available. The motel is close to public transportation (Prairie Ave. is a metro bus route) and the metro train station is about a 15-minute walk. The sidewalks on many of the neighborhood streets had lots of litter and I saw several homeless people and sketchy people in the area (not directly near the motel but on the streets in the area). They didn't seem to bother anyone, but I don't recommend walking around at night. The daytime was fine.
