Hotels in Whittier

The largest hotel in Whittier is the full service DoubleTree, with eight floors and 202 rooms, including junior suites with over twice the floorspace than standard rooms, and one or two bed executive suites featuring a kitchen and extra living area. Other features are a 24 hour fitness center, outdoor pool, business center, lounge/bar, complimentary five mile radius shuttle service, and meeting space for up to 400 people. All day dining is available from the on-site Sophia's Californian Bistro, which also provides room service. The hotel has a peaceful location in a largely residential neighborhood along Greenleaf Avenue, half a mile from Whittier College and 2.5 miles from I-605.

The Days Inn is a small (54 room) motel occupying an older, exterior corridor building along Telegraph Road on the south side of Whittier, also close to the districts of La Mirada, Norwalk, Santa Fe Springs and La Habra. The nearest interstate is I-5 (exit 120A) - a 3.5 mile drive away, while the closest shopping malls (in Santa Fe Springs) are just 1.5 miles north. Rates at the hotel are quite low, but it still has all the basic facilities, of free continental breakfast, an outdoor pool, laundry, wi-fi, meeting space and a refrigerator/microwave in each room. There are three restaurants within one block.

The Travelodge has a secure central parking lot, mostly shielded from the road by the accommodation blocks, which extended around four sides. The place has the traditional two floor, exterior corridor design, and it offers just the basic amenities of free wi-fi, free continental breakfast and a refrigerator/microwave in each of the 52 rooms. A few accommodations feature a whirlpool bath and/or a separate living area. The motel is situated at the Whitter Boulevard - Hadley Street intersection towards the west side of Whittier, close to adjacent Pico Rivera and 2 miles from the scenic peaks and canyons of the Puente Hills. Shopping and dining can be found one block southeast at Whittier Marketplace.
