Century Inn — Hotel in Inglewood

I chose this location on Airbnb not really aware that it is a motel room. Although it could be thought of as a "sketchy" area I had no issues during my entire stay- and that includes walking down the street to 7-11 near 11 pm. The room itself was very clean. There is a mini fridge and microwave in the room. A separate sitting area with a small table and 2 chairs. There is an additional vanity type area that is outside of the bathroom so that you can get ready, put on make up and fix your hair leaving the bathroom available if you're sharing the room. The only small thing that I'll mention is that you should bring electronics or some type of entertainment for yourself, the cable channels are seriously lacking. The majority of the channels seemed to be Spanish speaking only and I think they were religious themed. If you don't normally spend much time unwinding watching tv then this shouldn't be an issue for you at all. Lastly I'd like to mention Isaac the owner. A very kind man!! So helpful and gracious! If only everyone one comes in contact with were like him this world would definitely be an even...

We arrived after a 15 hour journey from London via Seattle. We arrived about 8pm at night and the receptionist said we had been moved to another hotel. We assumed it was there partner hotel. We got walked to a neighbouring hotel. When we arrived and tried to check in again the price had increased. We challenged this and he said that the Century Inn said they were full and it was either pay their price or have nowhere !! So we were completely ripped off. When we finally got wifi the Century Inn LaX had cancelled our booking. It hadn't been cancelled on our arrival in Seattle (when we had last had wifi about 2 hours previously). In fact he receptionist was happy to book in to other Hispanic guests but just took us around to the other hotel. It was terrible. When you are exhausted and it's dark and your vulnerable. We have reported the incident to Booking.com. You shouldn't book this hotel. They cannot be trusted I'm afraid. Also you could walk here from the airport. Our first rip off was the $20 for the taxi ride to the rip off hotel how cancel...

After checking in, while on the way to my room, I was chased down by the night manager telling me that my credit card (which had gone through but had a slightly different spelling of my name than my driver's license) could not be used. She demanded cash instead. After making the reservation through another website and confirming with that very credit card, I was not about to use my debit card or to pay in cash. It sounded like a scam to say the least. The night manager could barely speak English as well. Claims it is a non-smoking facility but the room reeked of cigarettes. The bedspread had holes in it. The mattress had to be decades old as it was like mush. If I had had another choice, I would have gone elsewhere, but there was really nothing available due to things happening in LA. The rate was very high for what amounts to a dump. I normally try to be kind in my reviews, but this one stands out in the negative. If you have another choice, go there. PS - They claim to have Internet, but was never provided...
