“LOVE how Huge their Rooms are! Very Modernized & Clean! Glad to have the opportunity of booking repeatedly before Price Mark up. Great Staff! @ILLUMINA_GODDESS @Goddess_ILLUMINA”
“I have been here a couple of times and true to its name, it’s always been a pleasant holiday motel for me. It is situated on Pacific highway in close proximity to restaurants, cafe, Starbucks, gas stations and convenience stores. There is guest parking available here for all guests and the hotel staff are really friendly and accommodating. I have twice phoned up before my trip to inform them about a late arrival post midnight and they were helpful enough to make note of the same and check me in late in the evening. There is no complimentary breakfast provided for guests here but there are plenty of eateries on the scenic coastal highway. The motel offers both smoking and non-smoking rooms. All rooms I have stayed in were air-conditioned and also had refrigerator and microwave. Bathrooms were clean and hot water wasn’t a problem either.”
“We stayed for 1 night but I was pleasantly surprised with Pleasant Motel. The room was very clean and the remodeling makes it even nicer. There wasn't a coffee maker but we brought our own and we brought extra pillows since most motels only supply 2 for a king size bed. They did have a blow dryer, which was great cause I didn't have to dig mine out lol. The son is extremely friendly and accommodating. We would definitely recommend this motel to friends.”
“Very caring and understanding staff. I stayed here by way of Mobile, AL so I think I know a thing or two about hospitality. I would definitely recommend anyone from out of town working in the Torrance or surrounding areas to stay here. Bryan from Alabama...”
“Wonderful! The room was clean and spacious and the staff was accommodating, pleasant and efficient. I saw one set of guests barbecuing -- how many motels will let you do that? I'd definitely recommend the Pleasant Holiday to all.”
“Me my mom and my little brother we all love this place it is way cleaner and the management is way nice than the surrounding hotels and Inns. Not to mention Neil is my boy. He always tries to help us or looks out for us. He does the best he can for anyone who is willing to talk to him and be honest. I would recommend this place to anyone.”
“The room is clean and spacious. Hardwood flooring and decent size TV. Enough channel on the line up to keep you entertained. They provide 24 hrs laundry and vending machine for snacks and soda. As for the maid service they start later during the day, and as for the owner they are friendly. I do find the rate fairly priced for what is provided.”
