I recently stayed at the Marriott Torrance for 2 nights on business. The room I booked was a king on the concierge level. The hotel grounds, check-in and the lobby of the hotel was very nice. The staff was very courteous and helpful as I was checking in.
The room was very nice, standard marriott, with a wonderful bed, nice desk area and bathroom. The room was a bit smaller that normal, more like rooms I get in NY, about 300 sq ft but very functional and worked just fine. The AC is very efficient and keeps the room nice and cool. The room also had a balcony which is always nice, I like rooms with balconies so you can get some fresh air (although it is LA) and it also makes you feel a little less closed in when you have one.
The best feature I found which I have never seen in any other hotel I have been at was the starbucks delivery!!! Being a starbucks addict I go in search of a latte every morning when im traveling. There is a starbucks right in the hotel which is nice but this hotel takes it one step further. On the bed when you check in, along with the pre-order breakfast hanger, there is a starbucks door hanger where you can place your starbucks order before you go to sleep and they bring it to your room in the morning !!!!!!! That is bar none, the best idea a hotel has come up with, I love it, I wish all of them would do that.
Overall a very nice stay. This was my first time to L.A. and since my meeting was near this hotel I choose it. If I was here and had time to see LA I would probably choose a hotel closer to the touristy stuff in LA otherwise very nice stay, no problem coming back.
