Sonesta Select Los Angeles Torrance South Bay

Clean, spacious rooms. Decorations are from the early 00s, shower pressure sucked, location sucked, right next to fwy, loud

Property was very nice, room was great! All employees were very nice and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Great stay. Room is nice and clean. Big room. Awesome location.

Would not recommend. My room did not have any pillows on the bed and looked like someone stopped cleaning it halfway through. It smelled disgusting. Not worth the price. Location is not desirable.

My stay here was disappointing overall. While the hotel has a high rating and advertises amenities like a restaurant and bar, these were misleading — there is no actual restaurant, and the “bar” is just a small cart behind the front desk with a limited selection. The location itself isn’t great, and several aspects of the stay didn’t meet basic expectations. Breakfast is not included and must be purchased separately. The gym’s air conditioning was broken on the first night, making it uncomfortably hot and unusable. The room was decent at first glance, but there were cleanliness concerns, including a questionable red stain on the sheets and visible mold in the tub and on the showerhead. The most frustrating part was the lack of communication and accountability from staff. Housekeeping is only done every three days, which was never explained at check-in. I requested coffee, cups, and towels in person on the first morning — these were never delivered. On the second day, we called to request that our room be serviced (needed towels and trash was overflowing), but it wasn’t. When we followed up that evening, the staff member deflected blame instead of resolving the issue promptly, and we had to ask again before anything was done. Overall, the experience fell well short of expectations and was frustrating from start to finish.

Alright

Horrible experience. Old rooms, greasy and dirty carpet. Bad breakfast. Excessive noise. On the second-to-last day of my stay, a group of motorcyclists arrived at the hotel and stayed until about 2 am with loud music in the parking lot, and the reception staff said they couldn't do anything about it. Another thing, I paid USD 250.00 as a deposit at check-in and they haven't refunded the amount yet, nor have they even given me a receipt for the amount paid, much less for the water I consumed and paid for directly at the hotel. The receptionist informed me that they don't provide receipts, that I should get them from the platform where I made the reservation, but I paid for the water directly at the hotel. In short, a horrible experience. I won't be back and I certainly don't recommend it.

Hotel was nice and location convenient. Next to freeway, across from food and gas

I was completely blown away by how nice and modern the room was compared to how much I paid. The TV was massive and has streaming services, EVERY inch of that room was spotless and when I walked in I was greeted with a pleasant clean smell. My check in was super quick and easy, the front desk attendant was friendly and helpful, and overall this was one of my best solo motel experiences. I was in a pinch and had to choose a motel just for one night, and wow what a seamless, clean and pleasant experience. If I'm ever in one of these situations again I hope there is a sonesta around because wow I was truly blown away by the value and quality last night.
