beside the internet connection (that wasn't working at all) everything was very nice and clean

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was very clean and comfortable. It was obviously an older building (with a very slow elevator), but the rooms had been fixed up and were kept in good condition. It was a nice breakfast that they offered and the employees were all friendly. The only comment I have is that the housekeeping seemed to start very early - they were usually cleaning […] the rooms around me by 9 AM. If you want to sleep in, definitely put out the do not disturb sign. They did seem to do another round later in the day. Read more

Good price and location. Very close to the Japanese stores and such that are not common in Northern California. 2 king beds really means 2 king beds and they are huge. Room is not the most up to date but for the price I wouldn't expect it to be. Great service, the guy who checked me in actually read my request when I booked online to get a top floor […] room.

It was restful...just what I needed. And convenient to commercial stores that interested me.

I was here two weeks ago, and the room you stay in makes all the difference! I checked in early this time and was given a room right next to the elevator - noisy! It was also the room modified for those with physical challenges, so although it was super roomy, the bed was saggy and there was a slight smell to the room. I will definitely stay here again, […] as it served my purpose (sleep) and was very reasonable. Read more

I was in Torrance to attend a Kings game that night in L.A. My only two minor negatives about my stay were a: The front desk clerk at noon was not at ALL compliant or helpful in my desire to check in before 3pm. He merely pointed to the sign and said "3:00 pm". I don't expect to get what I want at all times, but he didn't even look in the computer to […] check on the hotel's status. Now, Sarah, who came on afterwards, was AWESOME. She helped me with everything I needed, including a coffee pot that I couldn't get to work. b: the bed was a little flimsy, but if I slept right in the middle it was very comfy. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Was very nice , roomy , quiet, comfy bed, and all the amenities u need, plus continental breakfast. Would definitely stay there again

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very nice accommodations and fairly quiet for being on a busy street. I just wish you were pet friendly as I don't feel safe traveling without my dog.

The hotel in nicely situated close to freeway 405. There are a lot of parking spaces and the hotel staff are friendly and professional and nicely dressed too. The hotel rooms are of a good size and very clean. The fridge inside the room is a good size and the bed is very comfortable and linens are clean. There are also enough pillows in the bed and […] even the cover sheet looks and feels clean. The hairdryer is new and clean and the bathroom is clean as well. The only 2 things maybe that could be improved would be the water pressure and if they can put at least 2 sets of soap and shampoo in the room. Overall though, it was really a very pleasant stay.

For the price I wasn't expecting the hotel to be as good as it was. The room was clean. It's in a perfect location close to great restaurants and grocery store. We just needed a place to sleep, so I was pleasantly surprised when there was a fridge and microwave! If you're wanting something inexpensive and clean I would stay here!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It is very different from pictures on online. There is no convinience for visitors. The building is very old. The space is very narrow. The surrounding is not good. The condition of the building is not good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

quite different to other howard johnson hotels but fair to stay if you just need a sleep and the location is good, many restaurants around and very closer to del amo shopping center.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is sufficiently clean, comfortable, but they have yet to care about and fix the Wifi problem. The Wi Fi does not work in the third floor rooms and staff knows of the problem and are complacent, like "oh well if you want the free Wi Fi" advertised for the rooms "come to the lobby and do your work". Over all a good place to sleep if you don't […] need your computer. Read more

was so nice to stay there, we were more that happy!!!!!!!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Spacious but need renewal. Just fair for its price

Genuine Expedia guest review

No ESPN. Very limited selection. AC/Heater was an eyesore.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I have stayed several times before. Very pleased that linens, towels, pillows and matresses were new. A big improvement!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Upon arriving - we were quite impressed with the place. It's not much to look at from the outside, but it has a great, central location within close walking distance to a variety of shops, banks and restaurants. The hotel room itself was spacious and clean, with a very comfortable bed and nice sheets. They provide three different types of pillows (from […] thin and firm to overstuffed and soft), which was nice. The king sized bed had six pillows - two of each type. There was a nice outdoor seating area on the second floor, and soda and ice machine. In the morning, breakfast was wonderful for a budget hotel. In addition to the usual coffee and pastries (assorted danishes and muffins), there were bagels, toast, Philadelphia cream cheese, butter, margarine, jelly, four or five types of cereal in the cereal bar along with fat-free and regular milk and creamer. There were also fresh fruit, three kinds of juices (apple, grapefruit and orange), and the crowning glory - fresh waffles with syrup. Seriously loved the breakfast! Maid service was wonderful and did an excellent job cleaning the rooms. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Will DEFINITELY stay here again. Only drawbacks are really horrible, practically non-existent wi-fi connection and limited, blurry channels on the television.. Not a huge deal, but it was frustrating not being able to connect online from the comfort of our room. Read more

Reasonable place to stay for the price. The room comes with a fridge and coffee maker, no other amenities are provided. The outside is an ugly design and the parking spaces seen narrow. No pool or outside amenities so it is pretty basic.

The hotel was nicely maintained and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Everything was great but the only that was disappointing was the check in time. At first we called it if we were able to check in early which was around 11am and they said no but told us that we could come earlier before the check in time at 2pm. our group got there at 3pm which was the original check in time but still the room wasn't ready yet...we […] had to kill some time and wasn't able to check in until a little after 4pm...

The hotel is not worth the price we paid. The building look okay out side. But wears out inside. It seems that management is also not enough. It's not difficult to hide the broken TVs and other worn-out stuff by simple decorating the glass wall of store space on second floor. They'd like to let guests pass the ugly stuff. The stuff in front desk are […] friendly and helpful. Read more

We loved staying here, was only supposed to be here for 2 nights but stayed 5. The room was really nice and spacious, included t.v, fridge, hairdryer, iron, toiletries, tea and great coffee, cleaned everyday. Breakfast was fantastic, lots of cereals, fruit, pastries, bagles, bread juices and waffles and avaiable for 3 hours so you didn't need to rush […] if you were having a lazy day but available early enough if you were planning a full day out. Staff are friendly. Torrance is a really nice area, supermarket, resturants and some shops right outside the hotel, beach is close by. If you want to explore L.A. It's super easy even without a car, there is a bus stop right outside the hotel with a bus that takes you all the way to downtown L.A and then you are free to go anywhere round the city. You can do the same on a different bus to Santa Monica and the airport. We had a car to go to Disney which only took 45 mins Read more

I paid a very low price and had low expectations (especially with some of the negative reviews), but this HoJo was great! It was as good as any similar interstate chain place, but close to LAX. Incredible value. Good free breakfast also. Room had fridge (don't remember about microwave). It was serious luxury compared to some of the slightly cheaper […] places I'd been staying in the LA area over the past 10 days. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were not at all satisfied with our stay. The elevator was not working. We are senior citizens and stairs are dificult. We had to move the dresser to plug in the TV. The phone is the room was not working. The ice machine on our floor was not working. We use ice on our backs for pain.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel wasn't horrible, but wasn't the best either. Expected a little more with the price i paid.

Genuine Expedia guest review

They got rules for kids and I am not a kid. I had to prove that I stayed at the hotel every time I went to the office. They did not have room in the kitchen for everyone to eat and they have a rule that you could not take food back to your room. paper cups in the room that had a odor to them. could not drink out of them.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

About thirty minutes after checking into this hotel, there was a knock on the door for cleaning. I thought they were suppose to clean the room before a guest checks in. Also, there was a hole in the bedding as well as hole in the couch. The room was dark and old. I would not recommend staying.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very convenient and very reasonable ! Will use again!

Genuine Expedia guest review

this is 2nd time to stay, good cost performance, free wireless internet at the room breakfast was not so variety but enjoyed every morning as free.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The elevator broke right before I checked in and my room was on the 3rd floor. I wasn't offerred a discount rate or help carring my suitcase up all those stairs. I have a bad back so it was painful. The bathroom wall was patched and not painted over in that area. The towels are rough. Their is only 4 channels that were accessible on the TV. The staff […] was pleasant and funny. Read more

It's ok if you need a place to sleep. Do not expect anything beyond that. The room was really outdated but clean. Breakfast was disappointing.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Would stary there again, good value for the cost of the room. Breakfast could be better and with more choices.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

NIce location, close to shopping mall. Secure covered parking lot. The staff was very nice.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Really get what you pay for! The room was very musty with a lumpy bed and lumpy pillows. While there is free wifi, it hardly worked well enough for me to check my email. I definitely would not stay here again!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

rooms are clean, and good size. For the price, it is very good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We had a family reunion and the location was great and the service was nice. The room met the needs of our family and i would stay again. I would probably change up the breakfast.
