Reviews for TownePlace Suites Los Angeles LAX/Manhattan Beach · page 8

I hate dark carpets. Because you can't tell whether it's clean or not. I appreciate the complimentary breakfast though. Its really nice.

We had a single night stay there at the beginning of our holidays. Convieniently located 10 mins away from LAX and 10 mins from the Manhattan Beach Pier. As other mentionned, rooms are a bit dated, but all was functional and clean. Wifi worked fine and breakfast is what you'd expect from a Townplace suite. 20$ is a bit steep for parking knowing there's plenty around, but I guess it's a rate that comes with the LAX proximity.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Great centralized location. Studio kitchenette felt like home. Laundry is coin operated you can get coins from the front desk. Breakfast available. Your basics, cereal, packages breakfast food.

I had a great time.

Real nice atmosphere

Quite possibly one of the best hotels/suite hotels I've ever stayed in. I am a basic *****, so I never use hotel pools/gyms or eat the breakfast provided anyway, so those amenities don't matter. What matters to me is the room itself. Does it make me feel safe? Does it look/smell clean? Am I happy being in the room? This Towneplace Suites hotel gets 10/10, 5 stars across the board in my opinion. Location: 1) Ample parking 2) Great location. Safe, lots of shopping, fast food, restaurants nearby. 3) Entire hotel smelled and looked clean. 4) Parking is tucked away behind the building far away from the street, so I felt like my car was safe there while it was parked. Room: 1) I stayed in room 238 queen bed suite. The rooms are like mini luxury apartments. They are a very good size. Large closet, clean modern bathroom, a living room area with a sofa/coffee table, large tv, and kitchenette. Very clean room, nothing was stained or anything like that. No random hairs anywhere. 2) Kitchenette: Stove/oven, stainless steel sink with food disposal, stainless steel dishwasher, stainless steel full-sized refrigerator, coffee maker, stainless steel microwave. 3) 4 ceramic large plates, 4 ceramic medium plates, 4 ceramic bowls, 4 drinking glasses, a measuring cup, colander, glass mixing bowl, cutlery, cooking knives, vegetable peeler, measuring spoons, cooking spatula/spoon, pot holders, 2 stainless steel cooking pans, 1 large cooking pot, 1 baking tray, 2 dish towels, mini bottle of dish soap, paper towels are all provided/stocked in your room before checking in. Absolutely fantastic to see! 5) Large, comfy bed. 6) All of the staff, from front desk to that security guy who stands outside to housekeeping were all so friendly. 7) May have been because my room was directly next to the stairwell, but I had a very quiet stay, for the most part. There were 2 days in a row when, at 10am, I heard the unmistakable sounds of my hotel neighbor having *cough* relations *cough*. So, beware, your bedroom sounds aren't as muted as you may think. Also, the last weekend I was here there was a motorcycle thing going on, so it was a lot of motorcycle revving, loud music, and talking, but noises don't bother me. 8) Great temperature control in the room. 9) Paul Mitchell shower gel/shampoo/conditioner, hair dryer, lots of towels provided in the bathroom. Dislikes: 1) $16/day for parking. A 2 week stay will run you an extra $224. 2) Pillows on the bed were too soft for me, but I made it work. 3) Not a great variety of tv channels. Luckily Ridiculousness is practically on repeat on MTV day and night so I was happy! 4) Sink in the bathroom drained rather slow from day 1. Wasn't a big deal, but probably had a lot of hair in the drain. 5) Housekeeping only once ever 7 days of your stay. Personally, I never use housekeeping anyway so that doesn't bother me, but it might for some, so I figured I'd put it here. I chose this hotel because I am in the process of moving to California. My first few weeks here I did the "vacation thing" until getting into a cheaper Airbnb while I look for a job/place to live. I chose this place because of the kitchenette. Before my move I spent 36 days in a row driving through each of the lower 48 states on a road trip and wanted to do some actual home cooking for once. Hotels in Los Angeles are expensive, that's a fact. This is a suite hotel, so the rooms are going to be more expensive than most places, but it's so worth it. This hotel was one of the cheaper options on hotels.com (a big reason why I chose it, too) but it doesn't show it (if that makes sense). I'm not sure how much more "luxurious" the more expensive suite hotel options are in Los Angeles, but this place, to me, was perfect. On my road trip, I've stayed in over 35 cheap hotels/motels. This is the kind of hotel room that even without housekeeping/laundry/free breakfast/gym/pool, you just wish you could live there permanently. I certainly do.

Cool spot to stay. Still a cool spot always stay here

Clean place

Excellent

Close to the beach and different shopping areas
