rbslos18 Posted February 5 #1 Share Posted February 5 We are staying in Torrance pre-cruise. Does anyone have advice based on experience to help us decide between the Marriott Redondo Beach or the Torrance DoubleTree? Both have very similar ratings.

Do you want to rack up Hilton points? Or Marriott Bonvoy points? Maybe find which restaurant you'll likely eat at and pick the one with the shorter walk? This is a large shopping mall area. The Doubletree is West of the mall across the street, the Marriott is North of the mall across the street. Unless you have a specific liking for one chain or the other, you probably would not see a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepCalmBearOn Posted February 6 #3 Share Posted February 6 Marriott Torrance Redondo Beach or Residence Inn Torrance Redondo Beach would be my pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lx200gps Posted February 7 #4 Share Posted February 7 Torrance is now our favorite pre-cruise hotel stopover destination when we sail from San Pedro, greatly preferred over the San Pedro area and a little more convenient for us than Long Beach. We have stayed at the Doubletree a number of times despite having relatively high Marriott status, simply because even with my status, the Doubletree is usually much cheaper than the Marriott. We would actually prefer the Marriott as it seems a bit nicer than the perfectly acceptable Doubletree, it's simply much more expensive the times we have tried to book it. The location of both hotels next to the massive Del Amo mall is a big plus for us as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is there a breakfast place near by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the Doubletree has a full service restaurant which should suffice, but perhaps the locals here can chime in on local recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
