This property was at a premium price point compared to the others in Hawthorne and it did not meet our expectations.
Pros:

Generally clean and spacious room.

Cons:

Very noisy air conditioner and refrigerator interfered with sleep. Generally shabby and poorly decorated.

Pros:

Without realizing it, we left a very important item. Sarah called us the next day and is shipping it to our home. How great of them!! Plus, Hawthorne was clean and quiet.

Advice? Pull the carpet out and replace it with laminate or vinyl plank flooring.
Pros:

They had breakfast? I didn't know

Cons:

Room had an undefined odor. Probably from carpet and you can't get rid of it no matter how much you clean it.
Stay didn't live up to the name of the Inn.

Clean & comfortable
Pros:

Easy parking, clean property, friendly staff, spacious comfortable room. Appreciated the in room fridge.

Cons:

The room was very dark and dreary due to the glossy gray walls. No art on the walls and the LED lighting was odd. Too bright but located awkwardly.

Met all expectations, clean and comfortable, perfectly functional for a business trip in Hawthorne.
Pros:

I began staying at Hawthorne’s Best Inn a few years ago when I had a work assignment in Hawthorne. Initially I was staying at the Travelodge, but their Wi-Fi is marginal at best, often had to stand in the parking lot or work in the parking lot or front office to connect (which isn’t acceptable when you’re dealing with confidential data).

By chance, the Travelodge was full and I skeptically booked at room at Hawthorne’s Best and was very pleasantly surprised. Rooms are clean and spacious, Wi-Fi works well in every room I’ve stayed in and I always enjoyed talking with the owner and staff. Sadly, owner Jack just passed away (early March, 2026) but the family took great care to make sure everything is still up to standard.

Hint - they also own the Monarch Motel across the street and it lives up to the same standards.

Excellence in service, cleaniness, customer relations shines through at Hawthorne’s Best Inn
Pros:

This is a very clean, 1950s (I believe) construction where you pull up in front of where you will stay. So many of these older hotels are showing their age, but not Hawthorne’s Best Inn. The owners have taken care of this property and their love for it shows . At night the lighting outside was lovely , and the little touches like flower boxes made it feel super welcoming . The room itself was very clean, my husband and sons all slept wonderfully soundly , when typically they struggle anywhere , but home to rest . The room itself was well equipped with soaps, shower cap, shampoo , etc . I travel almost weekly for about 4 months of the year and have stayed in several places as a result and I have to admit , although not fancy, it certainly is a nice place to stay. If you are looking for value, comfort and cleanliness , then the Hawthorne Best is the place for you. The lady checking us in went above and beyond to ensure we had a nice , restful night . Our youngest has autism and she made sure we had no one above us or next to us, because he struggles to sleep when he can hear others . I didn’t “ask” for this “accommodation “ she just spotted it as a way to make his night better and I am so very thankful for that .

Just a one night stop on a road trip from Las Vegas. Perfect place to stay.
Pros:

It was very clean and very quiet! Just stayed one night but the place was immaculate and the staff was beyond friendly. The bed was comfy and the air conditioning was amazing. The perfect set up for a great nights sleep after all day n the car.

Friendly desk clerk and I had requested a downstairs room and they were able to accommodate me, which was very helpful.
Pros:

Easy to access off 95 South. Nice sized parking lot as I was driving a large van.
