Wizard of OZ Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I stay in the El Segundo area a lot and usually I stay either in the Doubletree on E Grand (El Segundo, excellent hotel but a bit old) or near the Airport. The problem with the airport is that you might be getting a very good deal on the hotel price but by the time you add the parking, breakfast and drive time you are better off staying somewhere else.I usually like to stay in 4* hotels but there were none on Hotwire except for the LAX area which I was concerned that it will be the Hilton LAX which I hated, OLD hotel and expensive breakfast and parking is a rip off. I tried to bid $90 on Priceline for the Redondo Beach, El Segundo area but could not get any bite, therefore I went on this 3* hotel in the El Segundo - Manhattan Beach area hotel.From previous posts I 'knew' this would be the Hawthorn Suites. I reserved for the following dates: 9/12 through 9/15/2011The hotel amenities were:Complimentary BreakfastFitness CenterBusiness CenterLaundry FacilitiesHigh Speed InternetKitchenette $112 a night per roomI paid for 2 rooms the following:Rate per night: $112.00Nights: 3Rooms: 2Tax recovery charges & fees: $77.31Subtotal: $749.31I will let you know if it was worth it or not after my stay.Support this forum and use the link to place your order with HOTWIRE or PRICELINE Link to comment

Wizard of OZ Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I do not recommend the Hawthorn Suites in Manhattan Beach for the price. You better off staying at the airport for less money. Their free breakfast is a real joke and if you get a room on the Sepulveda street side you are doomed to be awaken at 5 AM by cars. The rooms are on the small size except for the rooms with King Size beds which they are designated as handicap rooms. Link to comment
