Gardena Terrace Inn - Hotel in Gardena - 15902 S Western Ave, USA

Hard a decent experience at this hotel. Decent amount of parking. Affordable and clean room. The staff was very respectful. A good place to stay for the night if you are staying in the Gardena area.

My stay here. There wasn’t a security lock on the door,⚠️ you know what keeps the door closed if someone actually gets a key and can open the door, the lady told me after I complained and said it’s a safety issue for me. She said the phone works I can call 911 ‼️my friend. Which I thought wasn’t okay, because she should have moved me to another room with a lock. Second. I was given just one wash rag. 😣But I wasn’t the only person. The next morning, check out is at 11am. The lady at the front deck called me at 11:06 ! 🤦🏽‍♀️‼️Saying when are you leaving, check out is at 11… I told her I’m coming I was getting my bags together. … Most hotels I normally stayed in, gives a grace period when it comes to check out. They DONT call you at 11:05. I never been rushed. And finally one last thing that made me feel uncomfortable. Once I checked in, the lady at the front desk ask me too many questions. “ why are you staying here, what’s the reason for your visit”‼️ question after question. I felt like I was being interrogated by the police. And I have law enforcement in my family, so I know how they operate. Normally I go to hotels and it’s not a issue. And for all these reasons I can not ‼️recommended this place. Keep in mind there is NO Lobby.⚠️ No waiting area.

I did appreciate how quiet it was. There was renovation going on in other rooms during the day but who is in their room during the day?? It was very clean, the walkways and the room itself. I could see the efforts to modernize. It is get-what you-pay-for and I couldn't afford something more expensive. I overall enjoyed my stay. I had two big issues. The first was that there were no batteries in the smoke detector. The battery cover was hanging open. Second, the website did not state that there were no visitors allowed. I could understand why but there was stating it up front when you book online, just on a sign at the window at the hotel itself. I happened to be staying there without my husband but I really would have liked if he could come hang out. He could not. It was difficult to find all the hotel's policies/rules on the website. They were only in the menu when you book a room. A separate page with all the policies would have been useful. I would not return because the no visitors rule is not what I'm looking for. If that doesn't bother you, this place is good for the price.

If you stay here, pay with cash if you can. DON'T EVER LET THEM RUN YOUR CARD! You'll be sorry. They seem to be renovating, but poorly like those cheap house flips. Bring bleach and be prepared to change rooms.

Honestly was a good hotel for us this weekend. Front desk people were both nice and helpful. Quick and very easy check in. Rooms are exactly what you pay for. And bed was good to sleep in. We didn't spend a lot of time in the room but the shower was good and the bed was clean. House keeping was very friendly and helpful. Check out was easy too. Would definitely consider this place again.

70 years old and have never had a Motel experience as bad as this. Office under construction so had to conduct business at a window outside. First night no AC/ heat. Toilet seat was filthy. A no smoking Motel, but smoke odor in room, and burn holes in bedding. Very bad experience. Morning lady at the window was nice and polite. Night person was rude. Never again!!

When I stayed here, I loved how nice the rooms were. My main complaints are mainly how thin the walls are, and the shower in my room wouldn't work at all. One of the guests complained about a ciggarette smell but luckily I didn't have that, but my room was pretty clean. I'd stay here again if I'm not in a rush to go anywhere since it's in a pretty good area (not far from the beach and eaterys).

I like the covered/somehow secured parking, and it looks brand new(considering they’re renovating some of the facilities). The fridge and microwave is a plus. The room smells cigarette(albeit we chose a non-smoking room), and as a pregnant couple, it is bad for me and the baby. We don’t want to change our reservation because it’s hassle, and we are very tired from a long drive. We just wanted to rest. The bed is comfortable, as opposed to two soft thin pillows, which is very uncomfortable. Also, there are cigarette burns on the sheets. The first night, it’s really hard to breathe because of cigarette smell plus the thin pillow. I hope they let the cigarette air flow out before providing it to guests, or clean the room very thoroughly.
