What guests think

At El Rancho Inn Hawthorne, guests commonly praise the friendly, easygoing check-in and decent value, while reports on cleanliness and room condition are mixed, ranging from very clean and comfortable to dirty, dated spaces with worn towels or fixtures.

Noise experiences vary, with some finding rooms quiet or well insulated and others citing loud music, fights, or car alarms. Facilities are basic but practical, with free on site parking mentioned repeatedly and in room microwaves noted in multiple reviews. The area offers fast food and other amenities within walking distance and a park nearby, though neighborhood impressions range from nice to somewhat shady. Several reviews highlight no deposit required at check-in, but one mentions hidden fees, so expect a budget stay with trade-offs.

It's a basic hotel with minimal amenities. Glad to see a microwave oven and free parking. Everything worked. Check-in and checkout was uneventful.

Stayed 1 night

A good night's sleep, free parking, good WiFi, refrigerator, microwave and TV. There was an abundance of convenient electrical outlets, but no USB charging ports or alarm clock. Towels were old and worn, but typical of a budget motel. Convenient to LAX, 405 and Harbor freeways. This is obviously not a luxury hotel, nor does it pretend to be, but it is safe, convenient and operated by a competent staff. Excellent breakfast options within 1 mile (look up Chips Diner and Tata's cafe). You'll be glad that El Rancho Inn does not offer a typical hotel breakfast.

The bathroom door and walls were very dirty, made me think twice about showering. The bed spread had cigarette burns on it. The area was nice, but people were smoking weed rught out their door in front of management. Housekeeping cleaned my room when was asked not to. Overall a dirty place, i wouldn't have stayed but it was last minute and close to where i needed to be.

I would not prefer to come here again the room was fair but the bed was very uncomfortable and sank in outdated. It was a car parked behind my car half the night which made me very uncomfortable. They did not have enough towels loud music was playing outside. I will never go here again I checked out early it was so uncomfortable.

A good night's sleep, free parking, good WiFi, refrigerator, microwave and TV. There was an abundance of convenient electrical outlets, but no USB charging ports or alarm clock. Towels were old and worn, but typical of a budget motel. Convenient to LAX, 405 and Harbor freeways. This is obviously not a luxury hotel, nor does it pretend to be, but it is safe, convenient and operated by a competent staff. Excellent breakfast options within 1 mile (look up Chips Diner and Tata's cafe). You'll be glad that El Rancho Inn does not offer a typical hotel breakfast.
