Residence Inn 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

I enjoyed my stay and it was clean and in a nice location and very nice friendly staff I definitely recommend

We stayed here for one night. Check in was easy and the person checking us in very nice. Parking fee waived due to being IHC member. When we got in the elevator it reeked of *********. I cant fault the hotel as it seems to be a problem everywhere ********* is legal. Good thing is the room smelled clean. The room itself was clean, the beds comfortable, plenty of pillows. The furniture has a few dated and worn pieces. All in all the room still looked ok. The AC was efficient but a wall mounted unit, so can be a bit loud. Rated it a 3 for a couple reasons. Dated furniture, stain on carpet, found drawings of male anatomy parts that appeared on room mirror with steam ( cant blame hotel for prior guest behavior) but it shows lack of cleaning, some hairs on the plate holding toiletries. Would i stay again, yes, just hope they step up their game a bit.

Except that the room was not cleaned for a day, everything else was not bad. It is recommended.

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

A typical American breakfast, guaranteed to be full and nutritious. The room can accommodate 4 people. The first floor is the parking lot and the lobby is on the second floor. .

Stayed here for business. Booked a king room, but upon arriving was advised they only had 2 queens available. I am a Marriott Gold member and would have expected to at least got what was reserved. I didn't expect an upgrade, but I did expect a king bed. All staff encountered in this trip were very nice, friendly, and welcoming. I did enjoy the newly renovated rooms, especially the tile floors (which tile is much cleaner overall). However there were crumbs on the table and dried lotion on the outside of the lotion tube, which overall made the room not feel the cleanest. I enjoyed breakfast in the lounge each morning, and I appreciated the trays in order to take the food to open tables outside. As well as the to-go coffee cups so I could take a cup with me to the office. I had dinner one night at the hotel restaurant, which was fast, convenient, and a good overall selection. The outdoor tables overlooking the pool area were nice and quiet. The parking garage never seemed busy and it was an easy in and out. I will return because I frequent the area for business, I just hope I will get the room reserved and it is cleaned more thoroughly.

I stayed a week by myself at this hotel. The location is great. Near beaches , near restaurants and highways. The hotel itself is vert nice , very clean and the people are friendly. The bed is very comfortable the pillow are so soft. My fridge worked great and they do have house keeping. The pool and gym area are open you just have to submit the time you want to go. The parking lot is great and its FREE.
