“The location is good and the staff is very professional and...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

The location is good and the staff is very professional and friendly. There is a lot of parking space and the room is extra clean and a good size as well. The bed is very comfortable and the linens are clean. There are enough pillows (6) and the cover is clean as well. Towels are fresh. Very comfortable.

“Three nights stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 5, 2013

The hotel is a great location close to shopping mall. Staff are very hepful. But the wifi internet connection was terrible.
The hotel is old, needs update, like painting and new carpet.
Breakfast was ok.

Dear Peggy G:

Thank you so much for you feedback! We are happy to hear that you had a positive experience in Howard Johnson. As you mentioned in your review, we also believe our location is one of the greatest assets. The hotel is right in the heart of the city, which makes it easy to walk to most local restaurants, shopping centers, and grocery stores, while major attractions - Redondo beach, Santa Monica Pier, Universal studios, Hollywood - are within relatively short driving distance. In addition, our rates are very competitive for the area. Thank you again for your review! We hope to welcome you back very soon.

“good stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

Howard Johnson Inn is right in the heart of Torrance, very close to major supermarkets, restaurants, and shopping centers as well as a short drive to the South Bay beaches. Hotel parking is free and ample. We were put in one of the rooms facing the third floor corridor, but asked to move to a bigger room (like the one we saw advertised). The front-desk reception staff were courteous and helpful. We were in fact moved to the southern corner end of the 3rd-floor corridor after the first night. The corner room is spacious, gets good sunlight, and has a balcony. As the room backs onto Torrance Boulevard, there was some street traffic noise. This was not as loud as the room heater, which fortunately we didn't really need to use much of after the 3rd or 4th day. Wifi connection was slow but not agonizing. The room is very clean. The elevator ride is also slow and the door closes quickly (as of Jan 22, it was still operating under a temporary permit--even though a technician came towards the end of our week's stay, I didn't notice any improvement afterwards).

Dear Curtiss E:
Thank you for taking time to post a review, as we greatly appreciate feedback, both positive and negative. We strive to make everyone's stay unique and memorable, and my sincere apologizes for not meeting your expectations.
We understand how important it is to have a strong internet signal to ensure the best webinar experience, and this is something we are working to resolve in the near future. I would also like to mention our recently added complimentary business center in the lobby for guests who do not have wireless device. Though we are certainly not the newest hotel in the area, we believe it is our location, clean rooms, and personalized service that make us stand out above all the rest in the area.
Again, thank you for your review. We hope to have the pleasure of serving you again in the future.

Warmest regards,
Inessa Udovchenko
