Overall Ratings & Reviews Howard Johnson by Wyndham Torrance

I didn’t like that they do not clean the rooms, take out the trash or provide clean towels for three nights! The “breakfast” was nothing but awful coffee and toast..

Although is on a great location, the building needs some serious maintenance, starting with the elevator. Carpeting have noticeable stains on the hallway, Koby it’s on second floor, also next morning we saw a small roach walking on the wall by the headboard, ag that point we were ready to leave

Poor cellular service in room and no cleaning service during 5 day stay

The hotel staff are the greatest Thank you

We'lle come back !

Great location for what i needed. Clean room. Friendly staff.

Do request the Front Desk or Housekeeping for an extra dispenser of Hand/Body WashAlthough the sink area has its own Hand/Body Wash dispenser, there is none for the Shower/Tub bay. The Shower/Tub bay DOES have its own Conditioning Shampoo dispenser. The room smells fresh and clean, the linens are immaculate and the mattress/pillows are sooooooo comfortable! Convenient to some chain shopping—Starbucks, grocery store and Korean food court on Hawthorne side of intersection, two nail salons(mandatory!) —one 2 mins walk from HJ and the other diagonally in same center w grocery store. Very safe and parking is safe for overnight. Wiould stay there again. Great value.

I was quiet and clean, only thing that bothered me was on my last night stay the elevator went out and I had to carry all of my things down the stairs, luckily the guy that was at the counter helped me carry my things down.

This hotel shows it signs of age. The, “continental breakfast,” barely has any food choices. Although the advertisement showed a pool, the only pool around is the nice view into the adjacent hotel, which does have one.

Friendly staff and Quiet

This is a reasonably priced hotel, very close to a hospital that I needed to be near as my daughter was delivering a baby. There are a lot of amenities nearby, and the fact that there is parking on site is a real plus. The staff was for the most part friendly and helpful. However, it really is just a hotel to sleep at. Meaning that you will only get a bed and a bathroom and a TV. My room did not have soap in the shower area, even though it had shampoo dispenser attached to the wall of the shower stall. I had to get out of the shower and go into the outer room with the sink and put some liquid soap into a cup and take it back into the shower with me. When I asked the staff about it as I checked out, they told me that bar soap for the shower was “on request“ I was kind of shocked as I’ve never heard of that before, having to ask for bar soap to use in the shower! I can’t complain about how close this hotel is to the freeway and many restaurants and of course the beaches and the hospital. And for the price it served my purposes for this trip. But I did get the feeling overall that it’s a little bit rundown. For example, they have an ice machine on the level that my room was, but they had no ice buckets or bags to put the ice in in my room! I think a lot of little things fall through the cracks.

musty smell as if the carpets were just cleaned but not dry yet, but they were dry

The continental breakfast options were slim not very impressed. Kind of wish they had more options.

Good for a 1 night stay. Kudos to the night clerk who corrected the check-in date.

Excellentplace!

Very nice and clean. We enjoyed the stay.

Just ok Breakfast sucks

If I can give 0 stars I would. I have never been to a place that disgusting. Will never stay at Howard Johnson ever again.

Very Nice Service.

The property wss centrally located near the golf courses I played, shopping and restaurants. My room had a horrible mildew smell. When I mentioned it to the front desk I was told that no one was available to check it out. I ended up purchasing a incense cone holder and sccented cones to burn in the room. In addition. I sprayed an entire can of Lysol. Lastly, there were no USB charging plugs. I had to purchase plugs to charge my phone and ipod. The hotel needs to be remodel.
