Needed to find a hotel near LAX for a quick layover and LAX Suites fit the bill.
PROS:
1) PRICE: it was under $ 100
2) Location: only 3 miles away from LAX. Also a short walk away from Subway, liquor store and a pizza joint
3) Convenience: They had a phone that linked to a taxi service that you could use to schedule for a pickup. Loved that set up
4) Nice staff: quick. efficient.
Cons:
1) The area is very industrial and kinda scary at night.

Nasty nasty nasty. I don’t know how they can stay open. They were nice enough, but our hotel room was so dirty, the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned, and I’m pretty sure the sheets hadn’t been either. There was bugs in our bed. And trash on the floor. But what really tops it off is the meth pipe we found under the bed when I was looking for my pants.

I’ve stayed here several times with no issues until now. I’ve always had rooms facing the front but this time was lead down a dark and dirty covered alleyway, to a «quiet» room out back. A barking dog was nearby. Part of the alleyway is stacked high with broken down furniture. The room was old and run down The other rooms I’ve stayed in were never this shabby. The staff are always pleasant and the rates are good, but it’s time to move on and stay somewhere else.

This place is a dump. The exterior of the hotel is pretty run down and the room appears to have no work done on it for 30 years. My room smelled like it had at one point been a smoking room, but since they never replaced the carpet or drapes you could still smell it. I found long black hairs in the room which sure as hell are not mine. The old TV had static lines and got about 10 channels. You’re required to give them a $ 5 key deposit.
I gave it 2 stars because it is cheap, conveniently located, and the girl at the front desk was much friendlier than you would expect in a place like this. Also, the shower head is mounted at a decent height. I’m not THAT tall, but I frequently have to crouch down in hotel showers to wash my hair. That wasn’t a problem here. The WiFi worked pretty well.

I really wish I could give this place zero stars!!! When I arrived I noticed it looked really run down, however I was not concerned about that. It was late, and I had to be at the airport early the next morning. The lady at the desk really creeped me out. Still, I let it go. She informed me she only had one room left and asked me would I like to see it, which I found odd but nice. The room was extremely outdated and smelled of mold. I was still willing to work with it, for the price. She asked me if anyone was staying with me and I said yes, my friend is staying with me. We went back to the front desk, and there was a couple standing there yelling at each other. This guy was literally threatening her life, and all the lady told them was to keep it down –_​-​. Like seriously?! Anyway, I go back to my car to get my friend. Mind you, my friend is about 5’10 with dreads. She took one look at her and shook her head and said «the room isn’t available». And she continued to look at her crazy! She didn’t even hide the disgust on her face! She said «I need to see her ID». She kept looking at the ID and back at my friend, with total disgust on her face. I was SO confused! She had just shown me the smelly room, and now it wasn’t available?! My friend was pretty offended, and went to sit inside the car. I asked the woman what the problem was and she said «there’s no problem, I just don’t want to give you all the room». I asked was it because she’s clearly gay, and she claimed that wasn’t the reason. Yet, when she thought it was my «boyfriend or husband» sitting outside she was ok with it. Once she realized she was a girl, she refused to service us. I asked why did she look at her like that, and she said «no reason» and continued to shake her head no. Then she said «I don’t want any visitors. I don’t want her visitors». I still don’t understand what she want by that! Finally she says, well I guess I can give you the room but I need to see her ID again. Of course, my friend no longer wanted to stay there. She made us feel so uncomfortable and awkward. I have NEVER been so humiliated in my life! And the worst part of this whole situation is the fact that the woman was still standing there arguing with her boyfriend!!! He was repeatedly telling her if she didn’t get away from him he was going to punch her. So she felt safe servicing them, but refused to give us a room? I don’t understand. I really hope she learns proper customer service, respect, and how to deal with people. Clearly this woman has issues. I also saw her peeping through one of the tenants window. How creepy.

Consistent! Since my first review, I have returned (with my daughter) at least three or four times to LAX Suites and in each case have confirmed my first impression. We were travelling by necessity — not for a luxury vacation — and I have found the value for the price to be outstanding. I don’t see how anyone could do better in price/​performance in this area, so I’m changing my rating to 5 stars.

The Asian chick who operates the hotel is friendly and gave me a free upgrade, which was neat. The hotel looks like it’s in a ghetto area, but it’s not as bad as it appears. It’s across the street from a NOC office complex, and near a liquor store. For the price you pay you get a fairly sizable room and its clean and I feel safe staying here. This is L.A. so don’t expect it to be like a Four Seasons for the price they’re charging. Overall, it’s a good place and is a five minute walk to the Metro Green line train. Again, the hotel appears to be a bit sleazy, but give it a chance, it’s not like it’s truly «ghetto,» like if it was in Compton or East L.A.

This hotel was clean and comfortable. I got into the airport late at night and the man working the front desk was very nice. The room was large and had a microwave and a mini fridge. Powerful showerhead and plenty of hot water. The AC ran nice and cold. I was very happy that the bed was comfortable, the pillows were soft, and the sheets were soft, not rough like many other inexpensive hotels. I was upgraded to a king bed for free. I also got a late check out. Next to a busy road but the room was pretty quiet. Hotel doesn’t look like much from outside but it exceeded all of my expectations. I took the g bus from the airport for free and it was about two blocks to walk from the bus stop to the hotel. I would stay here again.

If you need a place to stay close to LAX, look no further than LAX Suites. For a very modest price, you get a quaint, clean, and quiet room, and the customer service is remarkable. I highly recommend this hotel!

While looking for an inexpensive motel to stay in for a few days until our new apartment was ready, I chose this hotel because of the high rating it had. The ratings were true. Great people. Clean, quiet room. Even though it was next to the airport, we NEVER heard a single plane.

I read Unilocal about 50% of the time prior to looking for a hotel in areas I have not stayed before. I am always amazed at what peoples expectations are with all the information available these days. I was going in and out of LA for a couple of months before I realized just how much it was costing me to stay at the Marriott. I have stayed in hotels all over the world while working or traveling. Often times, I need quiet, safety and a way to move to the the part of my trip. This hotel is in a quiet and clean industrial area near LAX, Northrup Gruman, and LA Air Force Base. I have been coming here on and off for a couple of months, and even run at night. Every hotel will have it’s issues, but this one is both safe, clean and extremely friendly. The suites that have a kitchen are great if you want to save a couple of bucks and grab some groceries. There is also a Subway, a Pizza place and a couple of other options less than a minutes walk away. I occasionally try and remind people that when you travel to cities and places you are not familiar with you can always overpay for the things you want, but if you need a nice hotel, with nice staff that has clean rooms and beds, this is a rare find. One persons negative Unilocal is generally a personal, axe grinding and rare exception to the rule. I take these sites seriously and use them often. I would easily stay here with my two very small children and that is much more valuable than 5 stars.
Happy Trails…

Dice throw turned out to be a win. Found it last minute online, when all else was sold out. Manager Michael (and son?) waited up for us well past midnight, then was nothing but friendliness and hospitality (English left something to be desired). The room had a slight stale cigarette odor but was surprisingly clean, spacious, and comfortable. Not the swankiest area, but the price cannot be beat. I would definitely stay here again. Love that other reviewer’s prostitute story… hilarious/​tragic — but not a particularly fair review of the hotel.

I called this place, late at night, looking for a cheap place to sleep for a few hours since I got into LA at 1am after having transportation issues coming down from the Bay Area.
As I was beginning to check in with Michael (who was super nice), I suddenly heard a frantic female voice screaming… «Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!». Yes, really. It took me a few seconds to realize it wasn’t a loud television set. I raised an eyebrow and suggested to Michael that he call the police promptly, took back my credit card and ID, and headed back to my car as quickly as I could.
Threw my bag into my trunk and hopped in the car to hightail it out of there and go find another place to stay. As I got in my car, the screaming woman (almost certainly a prostitute) hysterically ran across the parking lot, got INTO MY CAR, and started screaming at me to drive before «he» killed us. Yes, really. If that sounds terrifying, you’re tracking this story well.
Not wanting to wait and see who or what might be following this shrieking Courtney-​Love-​as-​Althea-​Flynt lookalike suddenly and uninvitedly riding shotgun in my car, I hauled ass down the road… what the hell else could I do… until we were a few miles away, and dropped her off at a gas station. She was barefoot, couldn’t find her phone, and almost definitely whacked out of her mind on meth. She offered me her remaining weed for «saving her life», which I politely declined.
I’m typing this review an hour later, from a nice four-​star hotel, in another LA neighborhood far far away, that I paid way too much for, and couldn’t be more content about that. I would’ve paid $ 1000 tonight to NOT stay in the LAX Suites.
I’ve never said a place looked like it’s where hookers go to die, and meant it literally, until tonight.

Appears very run down from the outside.
Don’t let that fool you though — it’s got a really nice and caring staff, rooms are clean (albeit décor is from the 1960s) and its close to the airport.
Beds were surprisingly comfortable also.
Can’t beat the price in the area.

A great deal for the accommodations. The staff is also very kind.

I stayed here for a few months. I liked it. Don’t expect a full service hotel. It’s affordable and no-​frills. Heck, it’s cheaper than renting an apartment and paying utilities in most of LA. Its a bit dated. The Internet was spotty at times, but the satellite TV never went out. They upgraded the carpeting in hallways so it’s no longer that cigarette burned. It’s close to El Segundo, LAX, and the 405. I really liked the staff and Mike, the manager, was really attentive. Over the past year, I’ve spent almost 10 months bouncing around various full service hotels, dinky motels, inns, tents, and short-​term apartments. Honestly, these guys surprised me, so I’m giving them 5 stars. I’m not saying that I don’t enjoy a good Marriott resort or a furnished Oakwood apartment, but if we go back to LA, we will likely stay here again.

For the price, this is a great deal if you don’t require luxury. THere are no flat screen TVs, the walls, furniture and tub are scraped up, but it is clean, quiet, and the bed was comfy. The owners were attentive.
It is in an industrial area, so the area was not visually appealing but it seemed safe to me. There are a few places to eat that you can walk to, and it is convenient to the airport.

You know the feeling when you’ve overdressed for a party? I pulled up to LAX suites packing a nice Swedish vodka and soda to enjoy in my room, when clearly I should have brought crack. We booked it online and it looked OK, but it’s a real nightmare– bathroom décor from the Martha Stewart Prison collection, and in case I forgot where I was staying, the name of the hotel was helpfully scrawled on the bedding and pillowcases in grease pen. Yes, it’s a five dollar deposit for the key.
For some reason, the ice machine charging twenty five cents really pushed me over the line. If I must sleep in filth, at least give me free ice, which is my birthright as an American. Check the constitution.
Proud to say it’s the grossest place I’ve slept in in recent memory.
There’s absolutely a place in the market for this kind of place, its only crime is selling itself online as a Motel 6 level establishment online when it’s more of a haven for criminals and the mentally ill.
