Almost all rooms in the area were booked and I was lucky to get a room at the Galaxy. My room was super clean and comfortable. Very quiet even though right on major boulevard. The value is beyond the price point and the managers were all so kind and helpful. Especially Manager Ken Patel - he was super helpful and handed me a coffee as I checked out. I needed to check out early and he didn’t hesitate to apply the refund for the balance right away. Nice job!!!!

When ever I come Los Angeles Galaxy Inn is my go to motel for a few years now. The rooms are always clean and smell good , the beds in every room that I’ve had the experience to stay in are big , very clean and comfy. When compared to other motel in the same area the rates are very competitive and reasonable for it’s location , just 10 minutes for LAX. The rooms now have wood floors which is a new addition since my last stay ,so no need to worry about funny smells that are common in carpeted motels. The staff is wonderful and work hard to make guests feel comfortable. The appliances are very clean, the fridge is very cold and the microwave is powerful. The bathrooms are very clean with excellent water pressure. I absolutely love the old motel style appearance of the outside. Very well preserved and maintained. I Highly recommended this motel to anyone who is visiting Los Angeles. There are plenty of coffee shops, landmark restaurants such as Jonnies pastrami, Tito’s Tacos , Fat burgers all within walking distance.

When I thought we never will find a room, Galaxy Inn was our savior. I called, and was a short and concise conversation. Arrived, the guy at the front was very friendly and he even helps us to find parking (I appreciate that so much). He ask me if I had another ID, which i didn’t, so i pulled out my last resort my Costco membership card (Hahaha). Great guy, great place, I recommend.

Overall I can't complain, the accommodations were great. It's on Sepulveda bl. in Culver City, plenty of food options within walking distance. The front desk staff are super friendly, and the whole check-in went smoothly. I will definitely be back again.

This was the first time i stayed here and the room that I stayed in was clean, smelled really good and it looked like it had been upgraded. The guys in the front were friendly and the check in and check out was smooth. This place is close in walking distance to many restaurants. All in all, I had a really great experience. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you!!

Have been at the hotel for 3 nights my wife and I when we first walked in very strong smell of cleaning supplies bathroom was very clean as well as the room. Today when we left my wife had a necklace of a considerable value fall off her neck the housekeeping lady found it brought it to us when we got back 7 hours later as soon as we walked in the door and said hey I think you guys dropped this rooms are dated yet accommodating. There are several bars and restaurants and walking distance also 30 yards from a gas station about what you would expect for what you're paying
