Overpassed my expectations. Lawrence , Michael and all the guys in the front desk were excelent. Room keeping was also very empathic. Clean, affordable, well located, and unbeatable offer cost benefits. Absolutelly recomendable!

Booked this for one night prior to a cruise. At the time it was a considerable value even factoring in cost of transport to the port. At least 100$ cheaper than closer options and as you got closer and things filled up, it remained a good option based on price. Off the 405 - like RIGHT off. - which would make it a great stay if you are wanting accessibility to other areas. Not a lot in the area. Walmart about 3/4 mile walk. Asian grocery store which was fun - I bought $13/lb grapes. lol. Also some basic fast food. Walking is fine as far as sidewalks and I felt safe during the day walking alone but a LOT of traffic to be vigilant of as you walk. Hotel desk staff was friendly and efficient. Checked in quickly. Hotel itself needs some work. It’s just looking a little run down. Not dirty but like basic maintenance is needed all over. Room was nice - I had a king which came with a sofa as well as a little balcony. The view was just the pool however. But nice to be able to look out or get some fresh air. Again maintenance was lacking in the room. It was fine overall but the shower plumbing needed some TLC and there were some big cracks in the tile work. Fridge worked but was crammed in a cabinet too small for it so you had trouble opening the door and it leaked. Problem you have with all hotel rooms is the walls are paper thin. There were some groups of young men - maybe college sports? - staying and they were quite loud in the room next door. I turned into a “Karen” at one point and banged on the wall and they did quiet down some. Then later a bunch were rambunctious in the hall and someone came to reprimand them and then I didn’t hear them anymore. No idea if it was staff or chaperones. Has a Starbucks and a little bar area that serves some food but I didn’t visit. Overall an okay stay for a good value for one night.

We left our reservation a day early. Showed up to our room having no water and when I called down she said people were working on the water and "has no idea when they'll be done", would've been nice to know at check in. Almost immediately after the fire alarm starts going off in the hallway. I call down and "it's a false alarm but I don't know how to turn it off", maybe not the way you should phrase that. Also prebooked through Expedia for a "King room with a sofa bed" and realized we had no sofa bed. Went to the front desk to make sure there at least wasn't a price difference and on their website there isn't but also there was nothing she could do since we went through a third party website and also was told "you already entered you room so we can't move you". (I checked their website and see that every king room description says it comes with a sofa bed so assuming Expedia just adds that to their room label. I think our room used to be a queen and a king mattress was put into it and no one ever updated it) We also saw that there was a foot print under the main sheet on the bed so also unclean and there was nothing they can do? All we were trying to do was travel for the holidays and see our family. Extremely disappointing.

Good location literally right off the freeway, but you have to drive anywhere interesting (LA!). Dated decor. Toilet broke, but was quickly fixed by friendly maintenance staff. Evidently the free bottle of water is for check in only, though only one of the front desk staff told me that while others happily doled them out on request. Decent option and priced fairly. YouTube integration on TV was nice.

Hallway carpeting-flooring needs updating, but is uncharacteristic to the room, other than that, hotel is overall a nice place to stay. Easy access to freeway. We stayed there twice at different times and both stays were nice.

Its my second time staying at this brand hotel. (My First time in LA) The hotel bones are seasoned. They've adequately updated it. The primary halls show traffic patterns and could benefit from a good shampoo. The staff are fantastic. Free parking. No airport shuttle. No free breakfast, but has a small bistro. The hotel is across the street from/within walking distance from Chick-fil-a, Shake Shack and Panera Bread (otherwise right off hwy but feels like an industrial-type location). The rooms do not have usb charging ports (just one in the alarm clock). The rooms were clean and spacious. It was quiet. There were a couple of small stains on the furniture and i feel like the TV channels were limited (although they had all of the basic premium stations... maybe it was that nothing was really on to watch). Would stay again.

Important to mention that I have no complaints about the service! However, the establishment seems very old and the rooms reminded me of Excalibur in Las Vegas. The cleaning wasn't done properly and one of the reviews already mentioned dirty carpets. I won't be returning

Spent the weekend there and was DISGUSTED with how they cleaned the two rooms I got . There were stains , crusty moldy things all over the pillows, the walls, the bathroom, the head board. I wiped down the counters with my own wipes and they were filthy. The balcony was also extremely disgusting and I broke out in hives. I spent so much money to be placed in rooms that were clearly not cleaned well. Wouldn’t stay here again

This Place is a Great Place to stay ...We had a King room which was awesome. we weren't in the room very long and didn't have a chance to use the pool because we traveled all around even to San Diego. We also ventured all around LA and saw the HOLLYWOOD sign , Beverly Hills , RODEO DR , Walk of Stars and the Buffy the Vampire Hellmouthcom in Torrence. FREE PARKING Great Location close to the highway and Torrence was a beautiful place also I JUST WISH THE FRONT COFFEE AREA WAS OPEN LONGER IS ALL we either left too early and missed it or woke up to late an missed it . But when we did catch it open had a great warm croissant an coffee .

I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Sonesta Select Los Angeles Torrance South Bay, and while there were some positive aspects, my overall experience was disappointing. First, the location of the hotel is undeniably convenient, making it a strong choice for exploring the area. Additionally, the pricing was reasonable for the season, and the availability of free parking is a significant advantage in the Los Angeles region. However, I encountered several issues that detracted from my stay. We upgraded to a one-bedroom suite with the expectation of a more comfortable experience. Unfortunately, upon our arrival, we found the room to be unacceptably dirty. There was sand from previous occupants scattered throughout the space, and the room had a musty, unclean feel. Despite the hotel’s branding as a renovated establishment in an up-and-coming area, it appeared to be in disrepair. The wallpaper was peeling, light fixtures were hanging and exposing wires, and the glass on the rear exit door was neither intact nor sealed. The hotel features a small market on-site; however, it only operates until 10 AM, which may be inconvenient for guests. While I would typically be willing to overlook certain issues for outstanding service, I was met with rudeness from the staff. The woman who checked us in seemed uninterested in assisting me or the other guest in line, rushing the process so she could return to watching television in the back. Additionally, when I sought assistance from the Polynesian Gentlemen (clerk) the following day, I received no verbal response; he merely nodded in silence and returned to his computer. In conclusion, while the Sonesta Select Los Angeles Torrance South Bay has a great location and reasonable pricing, the poor quality of the accommodations and the lack of customer service left much to be desired. I recommend considering other options unless the proximity to local attractions and price are the only deciding factors for your stay.
