I came for a meeting/event and this was a nice surprise. The facility is clean and neat, parking was easy and the event space was well-maintained and managed. I honestly didn't even know this was out here but it felt like a good place to stay if you are in the area. I didn't visit the casino area, so can't speak to that. read more

Ample parking and felt safe. Its also a casino but didnt get the chance to check it out. I got up to the counter to check in at 259p and was told they will call me when rooms are available. Mind you while I was writing down my phone# it was already 3p and they still didnt want to check me in. Took 30min for them to call to check me in . Lobby was clean though. Other than the check in process, had a wonderful stay. Breakfast compensated for that lol!! Room has a mini fridge and coffee maker. Universal microwave was in the hallway next to the ice machine lol! Super thin walls so shhh lol. Had a quiet and peaceful night though. They had a hot buffet style breakfast. Price was very reasonable considering I only stayed 1 night on a weekend. Would def be back again! read more

Don't let the sketchy area fool you. It's beautiful and clean inside with lots of great amenities, pool, card casino, and a free eclectic breakfast. They served breakfast pastries, cereal, a waffle station, oatmeal, hot foods like spaghetti, steamed veggies, rice, sausage, potatoes, and some other random selections. Great price for room. Was around $120 for one weekend night. Free secured parking. Great deal. read more

It was definitely not what I expected when I went to visit this place before booking it. I was very skeptical. I had heard bad things about it but let me tell you a moment I walked in. I was sold. It's been remodeled. It looks wonderful. I booked it for my mom's 77th birthday. The stuff was amazing. I had no issues whatsoever. The place was clean. It was open for me to set up with plenty of time the day before and the day of I would definitely book this place again by the way don't forget to go to breakfast. It's very delicious. read more

Great place to stay, I enjoyed the room that I booked. Overall the hotel felt safe. Early check in was accommodated. Only critique would be the front desk employees, the ladies have awful attitude and don't seem pleased to be at work. read more

I picked this hotel because it was a very convenient location. Right between LA & the Long Beach airport where we were leaving from. The lady @ the reception desk let us visit the room before we booked. A security guard escorted us upstairs. Freddy was very friendly & answered all our questions. Our room was very clean. Nice size. I liked the automatic light in the bathroom. I did not need to search for the light during a middle of the night potty visit. I found the pillows oddly sized. They are smaller than what I am used to. The exercise room was lacking. There were 2 cardio machines but only one worked. There were 4 or 5 weight machines but again, only half were usable. The pool seemed nice but only available 9am to 9pm. We stayed 2 nights. There seem to be many foreign travelers there. I met a young man from France. I encountered families from well, I don't know where from, but they sure weren't from the states. They spoke very little English if at all. But they were very friendly. The included breakfast was not what my husband & I expected. Who eats spaghetti & tomato sauce for breakfast? Foreigners, I guess. Also included were waffle fries, chicken nuggets, steamed frozen veggies, turkey sausage patties & Canadian bacon on the hot buffet. There was a waffle machine, STRONG hot coffee, instant oatmeal, cereal, milk, breads, etc. really lots to choose from. We certainly found things we enjoyed. The lady that ran the breakfast area was so kind and efficient. Everything got cleaned along the way. We did visit the casino. There are no slot machines but there is a bar & restaurant. My husband enjoyed watching the gambling but never caught on. The bar was attended by a very nice young lady, Ashley. The star of the whole experience was the spicy shrimp. May I please have the recipe? My husband LOVED it!!! He ordered one plate & ordered another. Overall, we would stay there again. read more

SERVICE & TRANSITIONS -- good The public spaces were exceptionally clean-- cleaner than a drill sergeant's bunker -- dazzling, and well-lit. Receptionists were friendly, and the elegant stone decor adds to the overall ambiance. Unfortunately, they refused to honor their Yelp discount offering the usual runaround ("what is that", "I'm not authorized", "idk", etc). ROOM [Luxury King Room] -- great https://youtu.be/GWhN8xCYSU4 Wonderfully fragrant, styled w/ergonomic furniture & unique design patterns. The visuals far exceed the meager online photos. VERY favorable initial impression. Dimensions were generous for the price & sufficiently lit. Functionally & cosmetically it was noteworthy. BED [King] -- bad Sleeping arrangements were a let down & I disliked... everything . Sheet weave Lack of support Ineffective springs Pillow fill, size, & quantity Nothing redeeming about this sleep experience. BATH -- good On the smaller side, especially the combination shower which felt cramped. Overall the space + installations were sufficient & the shower experience wasn't so bad Water pressure was excellent as well as the temperatures-- heated very fast! Papaya toiletries were nice to use but didn't make up for the lack of dedicated bath products. TV/ENT./ACTIVITIES -- good The casino is the obvious attraction but no one needs to read about my losses; moving on... This TV solution was a blast from the past: a Sony SD TV 4:3, maxing out at 20 channels. Effectively just 2: Sports & News. There's not much else to do here otherwise, excluding the claw-game in the lobby(more gambling?). WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- good Free & unencrypted with occasionally decent speeds. No issues w/cellular coverage. --Performance-- Video streaming - great Online gaming - great Video chatting - great --Nerd Stats-- 19-35 Mbps download 8-87 Mbps upload 0% packet loss 8 ms latency 3 ms jitter FOOD & DRINK -- good Lots of accommodations including: huge vending machines, breakfast buffet, & a barbecue restaurant. Food is prohibited in rooms which was a huge bummer, considering the location. Naturally microwaves are limited to common spaces only. in-room: microwave (mini) mini-fridge (small) coffee/tea wet-bar mini-bar NOISE -- ok No complaints but walls are thin so YMMV. LOCATION -- good Navigating here was too confusing for my Uber driver... In his defense: the routes are unintuitive & signage is lacking. Aside from that, the area felt safe. There's plenty of on-site parking + outlet malls nearby. RECOMMENDATION & RATING Final Price: $182.45/night Was it worth it? Yes Best part: cleanliness This was a decent stay. Not strong on comfort but functional & as clean as it gets. More than adequate if needing to scratch that gambling itch but It doesn't measure up to the Bicycle Casino. Still, I could see myself giving this one another try. Lukewarm recommendation. 3.5/5 @mrstaycation read more

I stayed here during my first solo trip and they made it super memorable! Staff was great, they were kind enough to waive the deposit fee for me as an accommodation, the staff member that helped me put me on the 5th floor and said it had the best views (it did not disappoint!), and breakfast was great as well! If i had once complaint if any was that the parking was tricky to find and the gate does close after a specific time. I would 100% stay here again the future! read more

LA Crystal Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Carson, California

Have stayed here twice. When I first saw the location listed as Compton I was a bit weary of booking here. However, I am glad I did choose to stay here . What I love about this place is the price, location and condition. It is very affordable yet you dont end up in a worn down crappy hotel , as has happened to me in the past while booking online. The property is very clean, staff is great, friendly and helpful. Parking is free and there is a security gate which adds a layer of safety. Also the property is set apart from other businesses in the area. Kind of hard to explain because it does stand alone from other places yet its in very close proximity to a shopping center that includes many stores and eateries. It is very quiet and conducive to adequate rest. The rooms are very clean and set up nicely and include a cute little area by window where you can sit and read or whatever (two chairs with a small table in between).Beds are very comfortable. Soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner are provided and restocked daily as necessary. Water bottles are provided and also restocked daily as needed. There is a workout room, a pool and jacuzzi. Breakfast is included but it is the one thing that can definitely be improved on. On my second stay some of the items were cold when they should have been hot and some tasted awful. The turkey sausage patties were horrible and tough, the Canadian bacon very cold. Also better choices should be available. Steamed vegetables and spaghetti for breakfast just doesn't make any sense. There is a waffle maker and various pastry choices in addition to juices and coffee, oJ, milk. There is also oatmeal and toast. Despite the not so great breakfast I would definitely stay again in the future. Many hotels in the LA area charge for parking per day and don't provide anything at all for breakfast, and many charge an additional amount. Also, as previously mentioned, some are very worn down but booking online and relying on pictures can be very misleading. Another thing (cant be helped) is that it is a bit tricky to find at first because of how the entrance is situated due to the street set up, but use your gps and it will be fine. In addition, check in is as early as 3 pm and check out is at 12 noon, which allows for a more relaxed non rushed morning on check out day. Overall, my family and I have enjoyed our stay here and I do recommend this place. read more

Stayed last night, checked out this morning. Beautiful marble floors, comfy king bed, delish buffet. If we had more time I would have liked to check out the restaurant again. Had a drink at the casino, good action. Great local spot, will book my next night here for late night action and comfy room. Thanks. LA Crystal read more

I had an amazing time. The hot tub and pool were very clean as well as the room. There's also an ice machine and vending machine machine that came in handy. If that's not enough, there are multiple stores in a walking distance. This hotel is perfect. In every way thank you guys. I appreciate the staff treating me with respect . I will be coming back very soon. That's for sure. read more

Stay away from This hotel .. they steal from the guests..

My stay went well. The rooms and the hotel were clean. The hotel staff was pleasant. I enjoyed my stay there.

This place is so shady. I was trying to book for my tenant and could not get an answer on their website nor on the phone about price and availability for a suite for a family. I was given a number to text. It was off by one digit and finally that person. Let me know. They were the wrong entity. Physically went into the hotel. Was told again they could not give me pricing nor availability only. Helen Mei could give that information. She was not on site and would not be in for several hours. They gave me her business card which I texted. I was told she would get back to me after checking availability the same afternoon. I had to reach out twice. She never responded. Until I told her I was going with another hotel. Then she said there was no availability for a suite. This is so fishy and so unbelievable. How does the front desk not know if a room is available? How do they not have a published price for a room? It seems to me like very questionable practices. I only did this because my client wanted to stay close due to his wards schooling. I will never ever set foot on that property again. read more

This hotel stands out and is hard to miss because of its Grand presence. In addition it's quiet and i was able to rest peacefully with NO interruptions. My room was also spacious and came equipped with flat screen TV, comfy bed, leather couch, a coffee maker, mini refrigerator, sliding mirrored closet doors, flat iron, ironing board, hair dryer, a study desk and office chair. Free WiFi is available and the connection speed is decent! In addition the hotel is located next to the Gateway Towne Centre shopping mall which is a one stop shop for all your needs: it has a Best Buy electronics store, lots of restaurants, Target and dollar tree grocery stores, a Home Depot store, ultra beauty store, Marshall's clothing store just to mention a few. There is also a metro transit railway across from the hotel. My only dislikes are the $100 room deposit, no microwave in the room and smelly carpet on the elevator lobby! But all in all it's a decent hotel and I would visit again! read more

Since it was my middle sisters birthday I decided to let her pick the hotel and stay as I like to stay in West LA or my ex roommates. Anywho, this hotel is located in Compton, CA. Definitely a very unique hotel as it has a lot of Asian foreigners, the lettering is in Chinese and English. When I checked in on 8/31/18 the staff was very kind and sweet. We had the luxury room. My middle sister did not know that Compton was about 25 to 30 min away from the festives we had planned all weekend. I personally did not have a bad experience...I did not get robbed or jacked as this place is not deep into Compton. Right next to the hotel walking distance is a lovely plaza filled with classy stores and food places along with Menchies. I can't consider this area to be hood as no Menchies is ever placed in the hood. Anywho, great accommodations and I have one minor complaints not with the room. Our room was very clean, smelled clean and lovely. However an incident occurred when one of the staff members came barging into our room unannounced- which was scary as he thought we were checking out on Saturday...which we were checking out the next day, Sunday and he came in around 11:30am and checkout is 12pm. The dude apologized profusely, as there are so many awkward scenarios that could have happened. I was not happy about the incident (minus one star). There was no bar and no casino!!! Which is the only reason why my middle sister selected this place (minus one star). I honestly would not stay here again as I like being near the beach and I felt like everything was far as we had activities in Santa Monica, West LA, Downtown LA, Hollywood and West Hollywood. The drive was not bad but Lyft and Uber fees were about $35 each trip which is cheaper if you stay under 10 miles in the West LA areas. Not everyone's cup of tea. read more

Oh boy where do I start? I rarely write reviews, but this place is definitely worthy of one. - Lack of proper air conditioning in both the lobby and the guest rooms. See the pictures. You know something is wrong when a warm +85 deg F Los Angeles day is cooler than your hotel room. We call the receptionist at 11:00PM to complain about that our room was too warm to sleep in and they told us to make a complaint in the morning..... ok! - Dirty beds and sheets. Do they even change them? If the buttons on the phone in our room we're still intact, I would know where to call (ugh). - Sketchy parking lots that look like they used to host swap meets at. - Complaint boxes seem to be a common sight in this hotel. Not surprised. - Majority, if not all, of the reviews you see are either biased or fake. Look at the countless 1 review accoints. What is this place good for? Nothing. I'd rather sleep in my car next time. I feel bad for the hoards of poor tourists that they keep bringing in here everyday in the bus loads. If only they knew. read more

Just to be clear this hotel does not even deserve one star. Carpet is so dirty and sticky, molds can be spotted at several places on walls, no tissue box, theft in hotel lobby. Loud speaking Chinese elders smoke at hotel entrance. No room cleaning is done daily unless it is requested and you need to put your name on the list. Homeless people wander in parking lots. My sons call this hotel "Trash Hotel". If you don't believe this, stay at this hotel on your next trip! PS: my son got his Iphone 8 stolen in the lobby. The stupid inspector (Adam) saw the guy snatching my son's Iphone from the security camera footage but didn't do a thing. read more

I have to admit, I was wary of staying here, but my experience was very enjoyable. As I read reviews, I saw that although there were poor reviews from the past, but all of the recent reviews were positive, so I decided to give it a try and it was well worth it. Although the place is undeniably a "work in progress" with some construction going on, the lobby is gorgeous, the halls are inviting, and the room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Be aware that the hotel is located in a spot that makes it easy to see from the freeway, but a little tricky to get to. That is made up for by there being a big shopping center very close with many restaurants and shops. Finally, the price is very competitive and the front desk service is very friendly. Overall, a great value and a great stay. 10 out of 10, will stay again. read more

Don't ever stay here. You are better off sleeping in your car. We decided to go just for the pool for the day. I had kids with me. I called ahead and asked if the place was child friendly. They said, of course it was. It is not friendly for anyone. Stay away. I have been to a lot of hotels in my time, some cheap, some expensive. This is the worst place I have ever been to in my life. And I mean in my entire life. We checked out after being there 30 minutes and a refund they would not give. First, the place is not even close to clean. The rooms are scary dirty. Ignore those lovely photos on their web site. None of it is accurate. Our room, a deluxe room, was dusty and dirty. Two mismatched towels were in the bathroom, which smelled and was not even close to clean. The toilet had flies in it. I kid you not. Second, we came to use the pool. We asked about it before we came. We called to the front desk to see if they had pool towels. I was told the pool was closed, had to be cleaned, because someone had a "massage" in it and it was now dirty. Okay, gross. Yes, they have hookers. Third, we go downstairs to ask for a refund. It is refused. I tell the manager that the pool is not working. He says it is fine. I tell him, no, I was just told someone had a "massage" in it and it was dirty. I was called a liar. He used the excuse that no one really speaks English well. I could go on, but I think you get it. Don't go here. Don't book it on line from any site, they will tell you, that any issues have to be dealt with by the site. They will be rude, they will be mean. Stay away. read more

Wow, what a dump. Don't ever go there. Not for any reason do you need to me there. The rooms are dirty, the pool is gross, the place is not like a casino, it is a Bingo type parlor. The service is the worst. If you need something, forget it. They really don't care. They are rude and pushy. Just stay away. I can't think of one nice thing to say about this horror show. Don't go there. Just no. read more

Okay, Hotel. Nice Staff. The room was spacious, cleaned & smelled good. There are no restaurants on site. You could get food from the card casino attached to the hotel. Hotel offered free breakfast.

I've never been inside since I was dropping someone off, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt by leaving 3 stars, although the exit alone is only worth one star... Forget it, this is too inexcusable, 1 star it is. I came in one end, but upon exiting towards the middle, there is an unmarked traffic island at the top of a steep hill that connects to Artesia Blvd that's RIDICULOUSLY easy to miss... No trees, shrubbery, beacon, or signage... Heck, if you were to look at how disheveled the island is, I'm sure plenty of people have had their cars torn apart by it too! The ONLY reason I even noticed it? The double yellow lines were SO faint at night, I didn't know it was a 2-way street and I almost got in a head-on collision... Had that car not pull in, I would've slammed into the stupid island and have to buy a new bumper!!! Seriously, this is a safety hazard, but I never heard back from management either; drive here at your own risk! Heck, even do your Uber/Lyft/taxi/whatever driver a favor and tell them too! read more

I only booked a room for 1 night. I wasn't able to make it to my room until close to 10p. I was rushing to get there, because they have a no registration after 11p policy, which is weird considering they are supposed to be a 24hr casino. When I pulled up, I noticed a bunch of teenagers standing out front. I'm not sure if they were guest, or waiting for a ride. The lobby looked bare. 2 small love seats, and some remodeling going on behind the front desk. When the doors to the lobby opened it smelled like sh#t! There was a family of 9 with kids waiting to get their room keys, so not sure if that was the normal smell in the lobby, or somebody butthole was extremely excited and decided to whistle. My check in was pretty fast, and my room was clean and spacious. I did not see the casino, but maybe it was in another part of the hotel. As far as the breakfast, I did not notice they offered it when I checked in, and the registration rep did not mention it either. This place was convenient to the location where my event was at the following day, but I would not stay here again. read more

What a horrible place! I came to the Casino with my friend, she plays and I read books, we do this a lot and visit many casinos in California however I had never visit one like this before, dirty, boring and unfriendly. If you don't play they don't want you there, as soon you walk in, they have couches and chairs reserved for those that stay at the hotel, I went to the restrooms and the cleaning lady is yelling " ladies smell bad, flush, flush" she also yelled the same thing in Spanish. Looking for a place to sit I found an empty couch on a corner not too far away from some playing table, I sat there for about 2 minutes and a young Asian guy came over to tell me to move because " his couch is reserved for high bet people" I will never come back. read more

Alright stay at this hotel. Pretty outdated and issues like slow/scary elevators, horrible WiFi, dirty bathroom and other factors. The convenience was there was expecting more from the 'casino' portion of it. Garage parking for hotel guests but at your own risk... read more
