Crestridge Inn

We stayed a couple nights for a concert at the Kia Forum. The room was clean, and free parking was a plus. The walls are very thin, though, and there’s not much to walk to or see in the area. It was decent for a short stay.

Stayed here 02/21/26. The extra warm blanket was a nice bonus, and the room and bathroom were VERY clean. There was a fridge and microwave, but no iron or ironing board. Parking was a little tight. A good option if you want a clean room.

The owner was disrespectful, and the room felt more like a bunker than somewhere comfortable to stay. The bedding was just a sheet, and the extra blanket had hair on it. When we asked for more towels and pillows, we were questioned about why we needed them. Then the owner brought a pillow with a blood stain. That was when we decided to leave. The shower drain didn’t work, and the busy street and rough area were hard to overlook when the room itself wasn’t cozy. Explaining why we were leaving turned into an argument about having to accept what they provided. The staff stood outside as we packed, trying to get us to stay, and I was denied a refund. I’ve never had to argue so much or set so many boundaries as a guest. I wouldn’t spend money or time here again.

I slept well here. The room was quiet, the owner was helpful, there was plenty of parking, and I felt safe. A number of fast-food places are nearby, too. I was happy with my stay, especially after a terrible night at another motel. In LA, it seems you have to choose carefully where you stay.
