The Best western Gardena fit perfectly. Recently renovated. Rooms are basic with mid level furnishings and finishes, warm colors... blah blah blah. Look, the place is clean, the bed is comfortable and not sagging. The bathroom is large, well lit and serves its purpose. Functional desk. Comfortable seating area. The monitor works. Microwave a plus. Good size in room safe. Friendly and helpful front desk. Breakfast included in the price for all rooms. Never bothered. Free parking. At around $160/nt, a bargain. Not getting nickled and dimed with resort fees and other amenity charges a plus. It's not the casino / megaresort I usually call home but as a business person hotel, this one exceeds expectations.

They had salmon or Saba make sure to come early. There was a long line even before they opened and they ran out of salmon, even though we were at the front of the line. It was nice that they also had unlimited miso soup and rice available and the portion of food provided was a good amount. Outside seating was available, which made it good so that we could make sure to stay safe from sicknesses Was happy to have free garage parking and the complementary tea was nice to have in the lobby. Of particular note was that there are a lot of younger guys staying at this particular hotel that appeared to have parties (drinking?) happening in the rooms nearby and would linger around outside of the lobby hanging out. They didn't bother us and were not super loud but they did end up showing up in the hallways and such here and there.

Overall I give the hotel 5-stars for being clean, quiet, room size, tv and good location. The service is really good. We did not try to breakfast but we woke up too late as it ends at 9am. The amenities were good and overall was very pleased with the hotel. I RECOMMEND BRINGING A FAN TO CIRCULATE THE AIR. Due to the street noise opening the window is not a good option if you want to sleep. But closed, the window drowns out the street noise very well. We will definitely stay again when in the area.

Short hair like that seems to be trimmed from somewhere unsightly in my opinion) on the very pillow I was going to lay my head on!!! Genuinely disappointed, mildly disturbed, never again. The 3.7 rating or whatever ratings has by the time you view it are lying to you. You'd be better off staying somewhere else. Normally Hilton has some pretty decent places, but I'm ashamed to say this place generally felt very... meh. I'm not making this one star because the receptionist was nice about my reservation, even after having a bit of a hard time finding our reservation (someone else's reservation showed up for us somehow) and found an accessible room for my family and I (elderly individuals in my family). Very old and outdated, no valet or bellman as mentioned above. Very deceiving looks. I would say goodnight (as of the time of writing this), but I doubt I'll be getting any sleep after the "pillow hair incident" of haunting my dreams.

I took baths and watched tv every night. The Tempurpedic cloud bed was insanely comfortable. Being pet- friendly was a wonderful surprise. I needed a place to stay while my house is under repair so needed to bring my cat. He is very clean, well behaved and we travel with disposable litter boxes and mats so when we leave, there was no trace of an animal. The tile flooring and carpet are also stain proof for easy clean up if necessary. I got a deal on a one the travel broker sites and believe it might have been such a good deal because I made reservations to check in middle of night but I don't know. Staff is lovely.

I'm writing this review specifically for Shade Hotel Manhattan Beach location…read more My girlfriend and I have been coming here for happy hour for several years, and she has also stayed at the hotel in the past and spent a significant amount of money there over time. Under the former management team, including the previous GM and food & beverage manager, we were always treated warmly and professionally. They were friendly, welcoming, and always made us feel appreciated as guests. We genuinely enjoyed spending time there. Unfortunately, since the management change, the atmosphere feels completely different. The experience now feels cold and unwelcoming compared to before. What really disappointed us was the valet situation. The valet attendants we knew in the past always followed the stated policy: $10 validated parking for a few hours if you were dining or having drinks, and $25 if staying longer. This time, we stayed about 4 1/2 hours, and after waiting for the car, my girlfriend was suddenly charged $40 -- which is closer to an overnight valet rate. What made it worse was that when she arrived, the valet attendant -- who knows her and recognized her -- never explained the pricing upfront. He simply said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you." Had we been informed ahead of time, we would have made a different decision. The whole experience left us with a very disappointing feeling, especially considering how loyal we've been to this hotel over the years. I also placed a call to the current GM and still have not received a response. Sadly, because of how this was handled, we no longer feel comfortable returning.

Although upon entering the room it smelled stronly of chlorox (well better that smell than alternatives), the room was clean and the AC was not too noisy.

Choices are plenty of breads and bagels, waffles, yogurt, fruits, pastries, coffee, bacon, eggs, potatoes and a whole lot more...except no rice lol! Bed was comfortable enough to have a good night's sleep and our room was cleaned daily and replenished whatever was needed. I'm also glad they have a coffee machine and tea option at the lobby. We would book again in this place when needed.

Otherwise, there are better options all over the Southland including other Hampton Inns. My review is coming from the perspective of a Hilton Honors Lifetime Diamond member. I stay in plenty of Hampton Inns around the US and even some around the globe. I recognize that it is in the budget arm of the Hilton brand portfolio and when I stay at a Hampton Inn, I am not expecting high-end, luxury amenities, personal services, or public spaces with artwork. I am looking for a reasonable price for the area market, a safe and clean stay, and casual but professional staff interactions. The 2 features I like about this hotel are the free self-parking and the overall cost for the local market. Almost all other hotels in and around this area (within 10 miles of LAX) charge some parking fee which this property does not. Also, the room price was not dirt cheap but was among the lowest of the other area hotels of similar comfort levels. While it is hard to not like that, I came away from my first stay here with an understanding that you get what you pay for. It is in an odd location, just off of the freeway and jammed into some open ground abutting 60 mph traffic. Just be aware that it is not really sound-proofed so freeway noise is going to be present. Also, the desk staff seems to have been called up from the bush-league. Like most hotels, guaranteed check in is at 3p. I happened to arrive early at 1:30p to an empty parking lot and a quiet lobby and thought the likelihood of me getting into a room early might be high. The desk agent did not look up at me standing at his desk until I intentionally made some noise and then instead of greeting me like a guest, he asked what I wanted as if I was interrupting him. I told him my name on the reservation and asked if I might check in early. He told me no immediately without even checking if there were rooms available. I have done this enough to know that it is sometimes helpful for the front desk to check to see if there were rooms available early and so I asked if he would check and he told me he knew that there were none. When I asked if he knew if any would be available early, he told there would not be any available until 3p and that they would text me if something opened up. I left a little annoyed because I felt like I had been blown off and I started driving away to look for somewhere to grab a late lunch. I received a text 8 min later that a room was now ready. When I got back to the hotel to ask about it, he acted like he had no idea who I was as he was checking me in. I thought it was odd when I had to ask if I could have a bottle of water which is a benefit I get for being a Diamond member. He gave me one but would not have had I not asked and I never received any acknowledgement of loyalty. I never really expect that anyway but I find it nice when a hotel staff will welcome me as a guest based on that. It just shows that they spent some time paying attention to caring about their customer base. The hotel was clean but clearly old and in need of a refresh. There is a lot of chipped paint in the public spaces. In the end, I got a bed, a parking space, did not get robbed, and did not see bed bugs. But I also got zero in terms of polite and professional service, no loyalty recognition, and no warm and fuzzy endearment to want to stay here again.

I checked in after an emergency cancellation from air BnB and there is always someone on site to assist you. Everyone so far has given excellent customer service. The prices are by the day so rates vary, but this is a last-minute spot for people on a dime. It's 1000% better than my stay in Inglewood for almost the same price, and a million times better than my random website bookings otherwise. People just want a 5-star hotel on a fast-food budget it seems, but this served every purpose I needed. And obviously no insane charge for mandatory valet on-site parking, which some high-end hotels use to charge more per room. The room itself is great. The location is not a fancy neighborhood obviously, but I've seen the Four Star Sheraton by the airport has some horrible reviews. This motel itself is awesome after having to compromise so much with my dogs with me. There's AC, plenty of parking, it's close to the 405 (main north-south) freeway, there's a mini fridge, a shower, good wi-fi, and a nice bed to sleep in. And it is as safe as it can be in California as it's video monitored. It was clean as well. I happened to lose my phone during this whole scenario and front desk was kind enough to try to help me find it. I'm sure they get plenty of customers similar to those reviewing who are overly demanding yet cheap. Cheap meaning, won't pay but demand beyond what they can afford anyway. Not on a budget.

Would I stay here again? Probably not. It was very noisy being right on the main road and we were…read moregiven the first room on the side of the road. Also the parking lot is tiny for a motel 6 and only one way - whether going or coming it's only enough for one car. So for example when we came in someone was leaving and it's very awkward as we can't get out of their way much and we can't go in. What I didn't hate about it was it was actually pretty clean for a motel 6. Probably the cleanest I can recall being in. Beds were semi comfortable. I did not like that there was literally no mirrors in the place except one tiny one In the bathroom. But points for the sink and mirror being inside the bathroom. If you need somewhere by sofi it's a decent option as it's cheaper than those closer but still only a $20 Uber ride. I will be trying somewhere else though
