It’s reasonably priced for LA The rooms do not have microwaves, irons or ironing boards, they do not have a free breakfast bar, but offer 1 free dinner instead (oriental meal) The rooms are nice with heated bidets

They do honor AARP discounts, a plus in my favor Other than the few short commings I rate it 5 stars for excellent service

This is a follow up to New Gardena Hotel’s reply to my original post I was very specific in regards to my review as being a LATE review in my original postHotel stated ” in fairness, it has been more than 3 years since you stayed in our hotel

“Of course it has been years Why would I stay at the hotel again after what happened?

A nice hotel with soaking tub and heated bathroom I stay there weekly on business Nothing fancy in the rooms but excellent price for the area

Air conditioning is a wall unit and these are a bit dated, so can be very loud However if you like white noise with sleeping, no big dealVery nice and professional staff

Daniel Zhang

I stayed here for a few nights when I visited LA over July 4th weekend in 2019 The hotel is in a convenient location right off a major road Both the day and night staff were very professional and courteous

The rooms were basic, but perfectly functional and decently quiet I appreciated the mini fridge and microwave There was also a large desk and chair where I could work on my laptop The toilet in the bathroom had a Japanese bidet with a heated seat and all kinds of settings, which was a first for me (this hotel seems to get a lot of Japanese business travelers) There was a restaurant and cafe in the lobby, but they never seemed to be openThe only major issue I experienced was that the parking lot was completely filled to capacity on multiple occasions when I came back late at night I mean not even a single parking space available When this happened, I had to parallel park overnight on an adjacent side street that was not very well-lit and littered with garbage

David Call

Only giving 2 stars because the staff is nice The hotel lacks every amenity that they showcase on their website No bar

No restaurant No coffee in lobby Cleaning service is not available unless by special request or else your room will only be serviced once a week The entire hotel outside of the lobby is dated and you feel like you are in a Best Western Tape on furniture Stains and dirty finishes Visible mold and grime I will definitely not come back here in the future and hope they can do better for the posterity of their hotel

I didn’t lodge here My late parents’ friend visiting from Alabama stayed at the hotel She loved it

We had a late dinner in the dining room! It was great and the service was top-notch! I love the DoubleTree hotels We used them for Continuing Medical Education courses that were offered by my previous employer They live up to the highest of standards If you desire the best accommodations and excellent service you’ve come to the right place Also, they have a very nice sports barlots of great seating and plenty of televisions for every sport you could possibly desire! They have so many excellent accommodations for receptions and other special gatherings Be sure to include them as a possible venue when planning an event

My stay was awesome besides I wasn’t offered any of the complimentary items during the checking in process A mention of a breakfast ticket would of save me the embarrassment of going back to my room to get my wallet During my 5 day stay I had to request towels twice on my fourth day

To any future guest it’s only a reminder to acquire these amenities as well as dry cleaning if necessary My stay was very quiet for as busy as this hotel gets, to explain why I gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I stayed at the Doubletree in Carson, CA from 5/20-5/22 and it was a good experience The front desk hostess was very professional and courteous

My room was clean and comfortable-no signs of any critters I had the $20 breakfast buffet and the staff was incredible and the food was good! My only qualm was that my waffles were cold The coffee was good I liked the location, very close to the South Bay Pavilion Mall and other establishments My reasons for giving this hotel 4/5 stars is that it is a bit dated and that I didn’t appreciate the two young ladies behaving badly and immaturely while I was at the front desk checking in This gives the hotel a bad look for the staff I assume these two young ladies were housekeepers

My wife and I were traveling recently and stayed at this hotel for 3 nights The hotel was clean, the front desk personnel were friendly and helpful The interior courtyard had a pool and fire pit which was a nice peaceful area with mature palms and nice landscaping

We used the laundry facilities, everything worked great Overall, a great experience and we would recommend this hotel to all travelers BTW, this is a pet friendly hotel,

Dan Welte

I had a great 1 night stay here last week Outstanding staff, highlighted by Lawrence and Rafael who were both very accommodating of me and some special needs I had while my dog battles down the street for her health Sonesta Select in Torrance is a warm, thoughtfully appointed environment in which to stay and work

They have a nice private courtyard with a pool and many outside tables They have a coffee bar, and the best feature of all is their massive lobby filled with tons of tables, chairs, TV’s and private booths This is a great place to take a meeting or get work done The beds and pillows are comfortable and most rooms have a narrow balcony if you need to burn one (which I don’t) The rooms are really clean Welcome to the West Coast, Sonesta I’m impressed

TheBayArea831

We enjoyed our stay The lobby is clean and staff is very helpful They have a coffee station in the lobby

Computers with a printer Parking is free, plenty of it The room was good Had big windows, I was able to keep a good eye on my car 🙂 They offer a pool with sitting areas Gas fire pit was cool Only reason I did not give 5 stars, there was leftover garbage in hall from the previous people that used the room We were not able to make coffee in the room, it was not stocked up with creamer/sugar But we will stay again if we are in the area

This was an upscale hotel which seemed to be nicer than the area it was in The staff was attentive and very friendly The facility was young and in top condition

The beds were full size – queens would be much betterThey had clear security measures in place everywhere While I appreciate them keeping me safe, it made me think that the measures might be necessary and therefore I wasn’t as relaxed as I wanted to beWe stayed here for proximity to LAX for a morning flight and we would be happy to do so again

Robin Horton

The rely is not true I did not receive 20% off for my inconvenience My card was charged $454

00 for 2 nights I will post receipts if you post another misleading rely Upon my 2 day visit to the holiday Inn I was put in a room with a toilet that went out I was informed the hotel was sold out I had to remain in the room (GROSS) I did remain because checkout was at 11 am I ask for a credit for my inconvenience I was told a manager would have to contact me While checking out, I asked again and the staff spoke loudly you want a discount I found that rather ignorant and felt uncomfortable I was told I would get 20% off and it never happened Bottomline, I never received a credit and my $5000 hold was never removed from my credit card The staff act like they don’t understand English I don’t recommend this location

Sergio dC

Hotel is kind like not close to anything walkable and the restaurant has limited hours Just a “bulk hotel” with lots and lots of people but, the rooms are quiet Beds were comfy, great size pool and jacuzzi

Breakfast: you’ll probably end up paying for it so I’ll recommend to go somewhere else for that 4 stars based on the restaurant hours and that they’ve wanted to charge me for breakfast (you have to order whst you want so you better have an extra 20 minutes under your belt)

This is a newer hotel The staff is friendly and attentive The maid wrote me a little note

Nice breakfast The side facing away from the 91 freeway is quiet The bed is comfortable and the bathroom gives you space The only shortcoming is the room uses 5W LED bulbs, so it is too dim to read at the desk and too dark to read in bed I am glad I brought my selfie light for a Zoom meeting or I would have been a black silhouette Everything else was good

Kati Ventura

The room itself was clean and comfortable, but they refused to give towels to accommodate the guests on our reservation 2 towels for 4 people doesn’t work out so well! And the towels and sheets were THIN We had to ask the front desk DAILY for enough towels and were met with an attitude of being inconvenienced

Bedspreads are yucky despite being white and likely bleach-able Beds aren’t awful but not very comfortable- imagine waking up aching the next day kinda not comfortable Breakfast is dismal, and the pool requires a reservation for only 50 minutes Bathroom fan, outlet and room phone didn’t workThe worst part, however, is the front desk staff They’re pretty rude, unhelpful and could use some training in common decency It seemed many were VERY busy playing on their phones instead of answering a quick questionThe bonus is location- it was in the middle of most of the reasons we came to visit However, in the future, we will likely look elsewhere for accommodations

Jesse Dayton

Housekeeping staff stole from my room! Stayed here 8-1 to 8-6-2022, had room freshened up Thursday 8-4 There was no outlet by the bed, had to charge my phone at the silver lamp on the right corner of the desk in the room Left Thursday morning, the iphone charger was there, came back Thursday night, it was gone

I checked all my belongings, every nook and cranny of the room, checked the car, checked the job site I was at to make sure I didn’t misplace it, nowhere to be found If they needed $10 for a charger, I would have given it to them To steal from guests, that is totally not acceptable The hotel would have gotten 3 stars if not for that The property is old and badly needs a remodel The parking area is patrolled by security which is nice The shower had plenty of hot water and had good pressure The beds were comfortable enough There is a lot of traffic noise If you are a light sleeper, don’t stay here, you won’t get any sleep The Gardina Freeway (91) is on one side and Albertoni Street is on the other and has a on/off ramp to the Gardina Freeway (91) so there is a lot of traffic noise no matter which side of the hotel you’re on I was on the Albertoni side, one of my coworkers was on the freeway side, we both noticed how much noise there was The AC worked good in my room but one of my coworkers had a problem with theirs If you need a place to stay and this is your only option, this will probably work, just don’t call housekeeping if you have any valuables laying around!

Sorry this review is long but it is a helpful review and hopefully will answer a lot of questions I will book this hotel again for sure While looking for a hotel for our family vacation my husband wanted a Double Tree or Hilton but honestly this being a 3 star hotel, with a Google rating of 4

5 stars, I think I got a better deal here at this Best Western Especially compared to $400 a night Nah we got a way better deal and way better bang for our buck here at the Best Western The rooms were clean and at the price I booked I thought I was just getting 2 beds and a desk, but I actually got a loveseat, and 3 chairs not counting the chair that was with the desk Lamps so I didn’t have to have to have the room super bright I was able to also have it nice and dim Great AC We booked for 3 nights Room service came everyday even though all we needed was the trash taken out and fresh towels everyday I worked at a Hilton was I was younger and we didn’t even ask guest if they needed fresh towels until the 3rd or 4th day Free parking, we even had 2 cars 24 hour coffee and tea in the lobby No coffee maker in the rooms though I felt that was ok, because going out of my room to the lobby gets me a couple of steps in Have to have your key car for even the elevator to work, which I honestly appreciate the extra security Some may not like that but I don’t blame hotels having to go through extra measures because of misuse of rooms and reasons for booking A wide variety of breakfast options from yogurt and oatmeal to eggs, burritos, pastries, bagels, cereals, waffles, fresh fruit It was even better then the Hilton I used to work at, and that was a new Hotel when I worked there, had only been open 1 year Very kid friendly hotel, the breakfast room has beautiful decor and ample seating for families Me, my husband and 3 kids, (ages 13, 10, 2), very much enjoyed this hotel and seen other families having a good time too

Had a nice stay here I have to admit the neighborhood looked a little rough when we pulled in, but all the people we met were nice There is only one entrance area with fences everywhere, and they have covered parking

Never had an issue with safetyThere is a taco bell, 7-11, and burger King within walking distance, as well as a gas station There is a food4less and CVS pharmacy around 2 miles awayThe free breakfast was nice, my kids loved the options they had, like cereal, oatmeal, eggs, hashbrowns and pastries They even had a hot chocolate machine, my fav!Rooms were nice and clean The counter in our room had a crack in the side that had collected dirt and looked dingy but not a big deal Just normal wear and tear for a hotel Nice big shower and they gave us orange scented lotions and shampoos Pool was tiny and gets very chilly in the eveningWe drove to Crystal Cove Beach because it was cleaner and more family friendly Took 50 min but worth it Wanted to try the free Getty museum but ran out of time We visited the Old LA Zoo and that was fun Would stay here again for sure

Claudia Rodriguez

Didn’t like the location at first but liked that there’s a few drive thru restaurants near by Rooms were not so clean carpet was dirty

crumbs in the drawers not enough towels and toilet paper no blankets for sofa-bedbreakfast was not the greatest same thing everyday but better than nothing waffles, eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, toast, bagels cereal, oatmeal some fruit breakfast was over at 9 not 10 it ended as soon as everything was gone lady didn’t care to refillparking lot was filthy we saw a couple of hookers on the parking lotbut the rooms were very spacious bigger than other hotels we’ve stayed in beds were comfy but the pillows were tiny and not comfortablemicro and fridge were a plus
