We came to the Doubletree in Torrance to stay for a quick weekend. It was decent enough for the price, but was not the most ideal stay. The lobby level wasn't bad. The foyer was beautifully decorated; however, the rooms upstairs were not as impressive. Rooms were small and felt outdated and old. Other than that, the service was friendly,... More

This is a very nice hotel, but its rooms are aging just a bit because they are not being kept up as much as they could be. Don't get me wrong. The bed was wonderfully soft, the linens are of great quality, and everything functioned as intended, making my stay here very enjoyable. But the small details of a broken... More

The staff was wonderful, including (especially) the restaurant waiter and manager. The nicest way to say it is that the hotel is just old; the hallways and rooms smell old. It seems like housekeeping tries to mask the odor with deodorizes and that only make it worse ... especially for travelers with allergies :(. More

The lobby of this hotel looks great. The room rooms are pretty worn out and is really miles behind the Doubletree I stayed at in Seattle. The big guy who was the front desk supervisor was pretty rude. Unluckily for me, he was the guy I had to face at check-in and check-out. I thought hotel people were supposed to... More

Location, price and rooms are ok. Horrible, huge air-cond unit in the room needs to go. Rest of the stuff is pretty average....don't pay too high for this hotel. More

We stayed for 8 nights in Feb, 2012. The rooms were clean and the staff was very friendly. The locations is nice. More

Happily, I can rate this a good place to stay in 2012! I stayed at this location 5 years ago, and swore I would never stay here again. When I decided to attend a seminar, that was hosted at this site, I was concerned with having to spend a full week here, but had no choice. That being said, I... More

The pros: friendly service, nice rooms, good location, reasonable price for location. The cons: miniature bathroom and lack of sound-proofing. You can easily hear every word of anyone outside your room in the hallway or on a balcony or even ten floors below at the pool. More

Had a business meeting in LA last week, and we stayed at the DoubleTree-South Bay hotel in Torrance. I found the hotel to be in a convenient location, with several shopping areas and restaurant choices close by. Each room had a balcony, which is great to have to enjoy the So. California weather! The breakfast buffet is quite unusual, with... More
