Marriott Hotels in Torrance

The most important function of a good hotel is to enable a good night’s sleep in a clean and comfortable environment. During our four night stay, the hotel was perfectly quiet. The bed was comfortable. We were not awakened even once by external noises. Our room was immaculately clean. The maid came each day and had our room back in order before noon. We stayed in room 636. It had all the amenities we want from a hotel room. It had a refrigerator, a safe, a large TV, plenty of drawer space, and two comfortable beds. The bathroom had a separate tub, walk in shower, toilet area and sink. This is the largest functional bathroom area of any hotel room that we have seen. The hotel is a green facility. It is off the electric grid, with all power generated from solar panels on the roof. The front desk staff is very efficient, with check in taking about a minute and contactless express check out available. When we needed help with luggage, a staff person was available. When we needed an item we forgot to bring from home, a staff member brought the item to our room quickly. The hotel has a first class Japanese restaurant on the premises known as Ise Shima. It was open for three meal times. Room service is available. We visited for the breakfast buffet, which featured numerous healthy items for a traditional Japanese or American breakfast. We had a perfect experience in the restaurant, too. For the cost of the room, the entire experience is a great value. One can obviously see the great pride the staff has in delivering a perfect hotel experience. The hotel has free parking out front and security at the entrance. A guest cannot take the elevator above the first floor without a room key. The Wi-Fi was free and easy to access. It worked well. A public computer is available on the first floor. A small store also exists, accessible only with a room key. The hotel location is ideal for business or tourists. It is centrally located in the South Bay withi minutes of freeways I-405, I-110, and Route 91. LAX is about 20-25 minutes, downtown LA is less than 30 minutes, Redondo Beach is ten minutes, and Disneyland or Knott’s Berry Farm is about a 45 minute drive. We use the hotel as a base for visit of all attractions in the LA basin.

Pluses: - super friendly staff- bidet in the bathroom--with a seat warmer! - very clean room - convenient and safe location (close to freeways, easy to find food nearby) - looks like they offer Covid tests in case you need documentation - we checked out super early (4:15 AM) and there was an employee at the desk to facilitate check out - had no problem with deposit fees (doesn't seem like they ever charged it so we didn't need a refund) - room was comfortable - safe in the room - would stay here again Minuses: - While the staff was really nice, check in was a slow process (long line). - Our room wasn't ready quite on time (maybe a half hour wait?). - There are signs everywhere about sanitation, and in the other line a little child who had a cold (and was maskless) was coughing at the counter...no one bothered to sanitize the counter right after they finished check in. Even pre-Covid, I'd have expected the counter to be sanitized after being coughed all over. - There is street noise (cars driving down the main street), and I was fine with it, but you may want to bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise

Lots of parking space. Breakfast come in individual bag. Ice machine and vending machine in both building. Good room size.

Hotel was a bit dated and could probably use a renovation. Although I didn't interact with the staff a lot but the check-in lady was great! She was passionate and willing to help. Unfortunately, the guests above us were having too much fun at 2:30AM and we had a hard time getting to sleep. This is probably not entirely the fault of the property but I hope they could consider upgrading their soundproofing if/when they renovate the property. Overall I would return, as I can't complaint about the service. I hope to get a quieter room next time.

Interior from Lobby juat made fancy start.

Everything is fine, the room is big. The facilities are a bit old, but they are acceptable. The floor is a bit thin and the sound is not good. The sound of the upstairs and downstairs will be heard. Up and down stairs are stairs without elevator

Lost torance hotel, marriott's apartment. The hotel is a two-storey villa community. If you live on the first floor, it will be light and the building will be low. It feels very depressed. It’s a bit strange to enter the room, not used to it. The decoration of the apartment, kitchen utensils and tableware are complete, but there is no toothpaste toothbrush slippers, let alone combs. The bathroom sprinklers cannot be taken down and are not convenient to use. Meals, including breakfast, at 6:30 in the morning, many guests go to breakfast at 6:30, everyone can't sleep. We went there for two days, just Monday through Wednesday, the hotel offered dinner for free, but it was a simple fast food category, hamburger, pizza, soda, etc. It was enough to fill the stomach. During the Spring Festival, the hotel is expensive. There are 1200 rooms in this room, and 1800 in Marriott and Hilton. I usually see 1000 in normal times. If I choose again, I will not choose this hotel again.

Cost-effective, large room, two American-style beds can sleep 4 people, that is, the room smells, the heating is too much, and the heat does not turn on and the heat is on. Although it is an American-style car shop, there are a lot of configuration , Coffee maker, microwave, toiletries, breakfast is better than expected, the room service desk is on the second floor, the airport taxied over 30, the driver turned around on the first floor and did not find the front desk, but later found that there is an elevator on the wall It was not found until the notice on the second floor. A five-minute walk across the street means that the shoppingmall is very large. There are two large supermarkets. Also, if you do n’t drive by yourself, Los Angeles rental requires a hotel taxi, and it will take a few minutes.

Although all the staff were quite friendly, the main reason for this review is to compliment Julio the bartender. His interactions with myself and others were wonderful and I hope the management appreciate his contributions to the comfort of weary travelers. He is a true gem and I wish all of my business trips included at least one Julio staff member.
