The Locale Is Extremely Handy
If you need lodging in a vicinity that provides plenty to do, this hotel will fit the bill. There are shops including a shopping center, three different freeways making it easy to check-out Compton and adjacent cities, and an abundance of restaurants.

You’ll Get What You Paid For
The hotel pool and breakfast are decent, the Wi-Fi actually works rather well, and the air conditioning is efficient for keeping the room at an acceptable temperature. Though most of the staff are Chinese and English is not perfect, they do their best to address issues. What’s more, you may be surprised at the broad views of the city and the shopping plaza from your room window. There’s even a ambiance if you catch daybreak and sundown.

Awesome Soundproofing
You won’t have a problem with noise from the freeway even though the premises have three nearby!

Check-In Is Not A Walk In The Park
Check-In is another trip altogether. First you have to park in the casino parking area, get checked-in at the casino, then drive your vehicle to the actual hotel parking lot for access to your room. Moreover, there’s no guarantee your room will be ready!
negative:
There’s a Bedbug Problem
Yep, the dreaded bedbug has found a home at the hotel. Don’t be surprised to find white powder around the base of the room to thwart other critters from making an entrance.

It's Right In The Hood
This hotel is right in the "hood" along with shady characters doing questionable things. Depressed, down on their luck individuals are who you will find at the casino and don’t forget, the hotel is located in Compton, so there’s plenty of gang action as well. It’s not a place to bring the family.
