I have stayed at this hotel more than a few time; the rooms are always clean and the staff is always friendly. I love how the location is pretty much close by to anything you could possibly need, whether it be fast food or grocery shopping. Little items from various locations. Or even gambling at the Hustler Casino (just down the street) Very close to the 110 Redondo Beach Blvd, off ramp.

Like their new renovated rooms, the molding and the new texture color makes the rooms look fresher, i never seen a continental breakfast that gives out waffles & hot coco thats a big plus. Michelle and Liz were real nice at check in and check out , had serval minor problems in rooms but were attended right away by managment. Hotel to nice to be a Rodeway, name makes you think less of the hotel than what it really is wich is real nice.

I booked this hotel according to other peoples' ratings(4stars) which was a big mistake! This place was definitely 0-stars! The rating of 1 above = "Terrible".

The hotel was actually listed under the name "Gardena Plaza Inn", but when we arrived it was listed as a Rodeway Inn. The clerk, who could have cared less about anything, asked when I booked the rooms, I said less than a week ago, he said it has gone through 10 name changes whithin a short amount of time which explained our and his confusion of the different name. Apparently, they have not been stable as a reputable business at all.

Since the name was not advertised as such on the internet, I asked to see a room before checking in, the room was nice at first, but the sink, washcloths and coffee maker had debris all over them. My family and I agreed to stay, but mentioned the debris to the clerk who said that they just had the lights changed. Apparently they did not clean up after the workers(???), he said all the rooms would be this way anyway... We proceeded to check into two rooms thinking this was the only concern we had to worry about.

The second room we were given smelled like cat urine and the door was ajar upon arriving to it. I mentioned this to the clerk , who was not surprised at all. He gave us a key to another room, I reminded him that we wanted rooms that were smoke free, he said they were. When we got to this room it smelled of cigarettes, but instead of having to move, again, to the second floor which was further away from the rest of our family, we decided to keep the smelly room (wrong choice).

After spending a little time in the room we realized how the carpet was not vacuumed very well. There were beer bottle caps, food, and make-up applicators on the floor in various places. Also, there were black foot prints left by the construction people in the tub and on the bathroom floor which I had to clean up, since the hotel seemed to think it was okay to leave their rooms in this unkept manner for their customers. Next came the discovery of the NEW bed lights that did not work, there were no chairs to sit on yet there was a table and a desk available. This is not to mention the outsides grounds that could have used a good sweeping.

Overall, this part of our vacation wrecked the mood of what had been a terrific time so far.

This place has a good location overall. Rooms are just about average. It is also clean and neat. Overall nothing memorable and nothing bad either.

Probably will not go back though as there are so many other choices in the area.
