I stayed here for my first and last days of vacation because its near the airport. Check in was quick and easy, rooms r spacious and vintage design gave it a fun feel. The area is a little rundown, if youre used to city life itll be fine. I did have to walk to it at 1am but the area was quiet but its not exactly a suburban area lol. But you can easily access the bus and metro lines to get anywhere else in LA. Really perfect for sleeping in the night before a flight without completely going broke.

This is our third time visiting LA and staying in this particular location. My girlfriend plays music at local venues and shes able to practice with no issue, we love it. The staff is very hospitable and welcoming. We are in state, but It’s a good location for international travelers as it’s a 10-15 minute drive from LAX. 10/10 will definitely be back next time we’re in LA.

Stayed here approximately 6 days in September. Chosen because of close proximity to where I was working that week and because the off-street parking was ideal as I was on a motorcycle. The owners were nice about me having some items drop shipped and didn't really have any issues with the amenities while staying. On my last day, found out I was needed to stay an additional day or two as the work site I was on needed a few more items. Went to charge the additional days and my cards kept being declined. The lady gave me a bit of an attitude and claimed she was being charged every time, which I doubt since I have run cards in my shop and been declined and never had a charge for anything not going through. She declined another round, but later found that my bank had flagged my accounts because I was trying to use them in California since up to this point I had mostly been using cash. Anyway, other than that little hickup, this place is fine and would even consider staying here again.

Clean, convenient, affordable! We landed at 2am and this was a great place to crash at before our next destination. Check-in process was easy and the attendant was friendly. The place has good energy and our room was spotless. Highly recommend!

I must say everything was good for what you pay for , they were helpful and friendly, and the room was very clean and comfortable. However, unfortunately I got bit by a spider 2 nights prior to leaving, that caused me to end up at the hospital with a bad infection. To the eye no visual spider webs or anything however it did happen while I slept. I would like to say I'd definitely would stay here again, if that hadn't happened , since it can happen anywhere depending on the up keeping of the place . Overall the service provided would make me return .

Nice retro hotel with updated interiors. Roomy and comfortable. Could use a new shower head, more frontal lighting in the bathroom so the mirror is actually usable. It’s close to the airport and relatively secure. Cool ceilings.

This is one of the cheapest hotels near LAX airport. It’s right next-door in Inglewood about 10 minutes away from the airport. The guy working in the front counter was very nice and checked me in right away and the rooms are actually very nice. It’s actually an old school motel in the middle of a new urban area so this place must’ve been here forever and just was never redeveloped. The rooms are spacious. The bed is comfortable and most importantly the rooms are clean. There are Also 65 inch TVs in the rooms. If you’re looking something cheap and convenient to LAX airport this is the spot.

Check-in was quick and easy, and the service was fantastic — the front desk staff were especially friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and had quirky, vintage decor that added a lot of character. The only downside is the neighborhood: expect to hear planes overhead (which is convenient if you’re catching a flight) and some occasional loud noises at night, like fireworks or other disturbances. Overall, a comfortable and charming stay if you don’t mind a bit of city noise!
