Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Torrance
Selecting an airport for travel to Torrance involves balancing flight availability with ground transit logistics. Since no commercial airports are located within Torrance, all options serve neighboring cities, each with distinct trade-offs. Van Nuys Airport (VNY) is the closest, primarily serving private and general aviation; it is the most efficient choice for travelers booking private charters. John Wayne Airport (SNA) offers the most accessible commercial service for Orange County and is well-suited for travelers seeking a balance of flight options and moderate ground travel distances. Ontario International Airport (ONT) serves the Inland Empire and is a popular, less congested mid-sized alternative to larger hubs, though it requires a longer drive. Meadows Field Airport (BFL) and Tijuana International Airport (TIJ) are significantly further, primarily serving regional needs; they are usually only practical for travelers leveraging specific domestic routes or the Cross Border Xpress (CBX) bridge at TIJ to avoid international entry complexity. We recommend assessing total travel cost and time, including the potentially high expense of private transit from these distant hubs.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was very spacious and thoughtfully designed, making it easy to relax and feel at home. The bed was incredibly comfortable—definitely one of the highlights of the stay. The bathroom was huge, spotless, and well-equipped with full amenities, which added a nice touch of luxury. Overall, everything felt clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. I would happily stay here again.FromUS$182

The hotel is located in the relatively safe Torrance area of Los Angeles, and there are several Japanese staff members, which is convenient. However, it is far from the city center, so you have to use Lyft every time. It costs about $50 to get to the city center.FromUS$89

We extended our stay a few times, and each time we were required to make a $100 deposit for incidentals ( to be returned in up to 7 days if not used). Since we did not make any incidental or other charges, this repeated charge only drained our account and held the $100, making our hard-earned money unavailable to us. The property said it was company policy. The company says it's the policy of independent owners. Regardless, what is the purpose of repeatedly holding an extra $100 if guests want to extend the stay and there are no incidental charges for the current stay? If you must charge the $100 which we feel is necessary every time, how about a policy of one $100 charge for the first stay and replenishing or extending the $100 incidental charge (i.e., don't charge an extra $100 for an extension if the first $100 wasn't used or only partially used). Just let the original $100 roll over to the extended stay (if there were no incidental charges during the original stay) or only replenish the charge up to $100 if part of the original $100 was used (i.e., only charge enough to make $100). This way, your guests who are supposed to be your most valuable asset won't be made to feel they are being nickeled and dimed just for the convenience of an unfair or inequitable policy no one in authority appears to want to address. To address my concern would only take a small one-time programming change -- don't you agreeFromUS$92

It's definitely better than the basic accommodation. However, the Internet connection is connected every day. Free Internet wifi was a bit uncomfortable. (Not available for video meeting)

I used it on a business trip to Long Beach in June 2025.
*Bed (bedding): Clean and comfortable.
* Surrounding noise: No interstory noise and noise from the next room.
Just the room on the big roadside was noisy with the car speeding at night
It's intermittent. (Not very uncomfortable)
*It's separate in the kitchen, so it feels like a condo and you can cook
There's a plate, a pot, and so on.
*Breakfast: Simple but worth eating.
* Surroundings: 5-10 minutes walk away from mart and in&out burger etc
It is convenient to have.

The room is quite big, clean and new. I expected it to be a big hotel, but surprisingly it is quite good. It is also very close to the airport and the transportation is convenient. It is suitable for overnight stay near the airport.FromUS$206

My stay was neither outstanding nor disappointing. The room was spacious and comfortable, even for four of us, which was a definite plus. Breakfast was also decent. We chose this hotel because a friend lives nearby, and they drove us around, so I can't really comment on the convenience of the location for a typical tourist. It was very quiet, which allowed for a wonderfully restful sleep.FromUS$90

I booked a room through Ctrip. I looked at it and it should be the smallest and strangest room type on the floor. The bedding is OK, but the facilities are very old.
Maybe the hotel is old. There is a hole in the window and a device similar to an air conditioner is installed. There is almost no sound insulation. It feels like living on the street because it is next to the hospital and there are ambulances 🚑 shuttling in the middle of the night.
The location is near 9th Street, and the downtown area of Seattle is not very big... There are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby.
It is worth mentioning that the restaurant is of good quality. In terms of service, the front desk phone never got through when needed... The hygiene is OK, and the bedding is OK.
The hotel valet parking is $60 a night, and you can park in the shared parking lot across the street, which is much cheaper.FromUS$239

I booked this hotel while visiting a friend near the hotel. The location is close to the beach, which makes it convenient for my friend to take me around. The price of the hotel is similar to the Westin and Sheraton near the Los Angeles Airport, but in reality this hotel is similar to the convenience hotels in China, the rooms and lobby are relatively small, the bedding is old, and it is not worth the price.FromUS$166

A place for overnight stay is ok, however some of other guests start chatting, smoking, drinking outside my room from 1:30 am till 3 am and the phone in the room was not working. Complaints to the manager, friendly guy but not useful, leave me a phone number to call if happened again, which didn’t happened the second night.FromUS$80
