Crystal Casino & Hotel offers a solid stay at a very fair price. While the hotel is definitely showing its age and could benefit from some remodeling and updates, it was clean, comfortable, and provided good value for the money. The staff was friendly, and the overall experience was pleasant. If you're looking for an…

The short version
What visitors say about Crystal Casino
Most of Crystal's recent reviews come from hotel guests, and the free breakfast is what they bring up most, a real spread rather than muffins and fruit. Rooms vary. Some have been renovated and look modern, others show their age but are kept clean, and several guests call it good value for the price. Hotel guests park in a secured underground lot.
The casino is small and cards only. Baccarat and blackjack draw the regulars, staff are friendly, and the kitchen gets praise. The bar is weaker, with complaints about pricey drinks in plastic cups and waiting for a bartender just to buy water.
The surrounding blocks give some visitors pause, and a few say they wouldn't walk around the area at night.

Hotel rooms are nice and clean. Very modern. Front desk staff very professional, informative and courteous. I didn't like paying 15$ for a mediocre margarita served in a plastic cup at the casino bar. The design of parking is weird. This
Pretty cool casino! It is small but busy. Everyone was friendly! They don't have slot machines so my husband played 21/black Jack. The food is amazing! We had the flatbread Pizza and Spicy shrimp salad! They were phenomenal!
The room is clean and very spacious. Staff were helpful in every way, my uncle left his favourite belt and an important document behind, they made arrangements to send it back to us in Canada. Very grateful!!
A Cozy Welcome to LA
Our very first landing point in Los Angeles brought us straight to Crystal Casino & Hotel, and honestly, it couldn’t have been a better welcome to the city.
From the moment we arrived fresh off a flight from Charlotte and after picking up our rental car we were greeted with the ease and comfort…
I've lived near Crystal Casino for my entire life. I remember my parents going to bingo here when it was offered. Finally came around 5 times as an adult this past year, win or lose its a really good time, from the food to the bar and of

This place is literally a circus! I do not recommend coming here after dark. The first and last time I came here I saw a large group of people in the parking lot and then gunshots erupted, 2 minutes later a dozen cops were there.
Horrible experience! My sister and I were supposed to stay here from the 3rd to the 5th of January of this year(2024), but the area was so sketchy that we decided to stay only for a night.
I’ve never felt unsafe at a hotel like I have felt in this one. There is a cassino there with lots of drug users or addicts,…

I been to the Crystal Casino twice.
Both time that I visited the Crystal Casino I asked to look at the camera while
I went thre with my dog charles and I gambled all my money away they took charles and my clothes I wasn't allowed back inside and I accidentally pooped myself
This is genuinely the worst place ever, their services are the worst! I can’t even begin to tell you, the manager or worker here of the banquet salon feels so entitled and ruined me and my families experience here. Is it genuinely that hard to provide decent services to your paying customers?
The casino DOES NOT have slot machines. The walls driving though are all boarded up and there is graffiti outside on the building. Trash everywhere on the way out and more graffiti. I guess if you're really into cards you might like this place.
