Hotels near North Torrance Library 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.

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

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

This motel is clean, close to our kids and grandkids, so we often stay there. People are friendly. It is not quiet--you either must contend with the noise coming from Pacific Coast Highway, or the equally noisy AC unit. Overall, I clean, convenient, no frills place to stay.

We wanted to try this hotel as it has Japanese toilet. We had a good laugh trying them. Beside this, the room is fine and clean. You have a huge mirror... to the delight of my wife and teenagers (girls). The breakfast is Japanese and have a few things more for Americans. In general the service at the hotel was excellent.

The PET bottle of water in the room is very mysterious, Excellent coffee and tea service in the lobby The one-way fare from Los Angeles International Airport to Uber is approximately $34 The front desk is friendly Old hotel, but overall a good hotel

For me who is used to Chinese food, it takes time to get used to coming here. The beautiful sea view made me choose to spend 3 days here. There are many sea view restaurants around: Japanese food, American food! Whether you are on vacation or working in another place, this is really a good place! Catering is high-end consumption, about 4-5 times the domestic price.

Great hotel! Convenient parking (locked with gates), clean, good amenities (iron, fridge, coffee maker with coffee and teas, hairdryer, iron, shared microwave), very good breakfast (cereals, yogurt, fruits, waffles, eggs and sausage patties, bagels and cream cheese). Also, it has onsite restaurant with a 50% dining offer for guests.

The first time I stayed at the motel, the room was ok, but I saw Xiaoqiang, and there was almost no socket to pull out the lights. Don't expect too much breakfast, the Medi general hotel is like that, meat and eggs are all there, but the repetition rate is very high. The change depends mainly on the craftsmanship of making waffles.

The rooms are very nice, and well decorated….and kayla at the front desk was very helpful with questions I needed answers to. I am a Ibew local 11 electrician and I’ve worked on very nice hotels this is one of the cleanest I’ve seen in a while. Very unexpected giving the location, thank you ! Room 115 8/21/2022
