Sheraton Cerritos Hotel



The Sheraton Cerritos Hotel is conveniently located off of the 91 freeway, and right across the street from the Cerritos Towne Center which includes many shopping, restaurant and entertainment choices such as Wal-Mart, Trader Joe’s, Office Max, Macaroni Grill, Wood Ranch BBQ Grill and an Edwards Theater.

Upon entering the property, there is ample free self-parking which is always a plus since hotels like to overcharge for parking even in remote places.

Entering the hotel is somewhat backwards, as you will walk through the ballrooms in order to get to the front desk.  Upon entering the lobby, which is fairly small, the front desk is to the right.

Although the Front Desk Agent wasn’t overly friendly as he hardly said a word.  I did get upgraded to the Club Level, although there isn’t a Club Lounge in the hotel.  I was also placed into a “Pure Room” which is supposed to “Allergy-Friendly” that also has an in-room air filtration system, which is an air purifier.
Bathroom
Bathroom
Upon entering the room, the bathroom is to the left.  There is ample counter space which is always appreciated.  There is a shower/tub combo.  Although water pressure isn’t all that great, water temperature is excellent with no varying of temperature while taking a shower.

Bedroom
The bedroom is not overly huge, but does have enough space to have a small sitting area with two chairs and a small table.

Desk
The desk is somewhat small, and would be difficult to do any work if papers needed to be spread out.

Dresser & TV
There is a small dresser with flat screen TV.

Air Purifier
The air purifier is about the size of a fairly large paper shredder and can be loud if turned onto high.  There is no central air conditioning, so the air conditioner is fairly loud.

As there is no Club Lounge, I was given a voucher for breakfast.  This allows access for two to the Breakfast Buffet ($15.95) with no substitutions allowed.  The buffet is somewhat limited with eggs, bacon, sausage, oatmeal and congee for hot options.  There are also various cereals, breads, muffins, bagels, yogurt and fruit.  The quality of the hot food is barely passable as the bacon was really greasy.  I would be rather upset if I had to actually pay for the breakfast as a guest.

Despite being fairly close to the freeway, noise was at a minimum.  This is a nice hotel for a one night stay, although not especially close to any freeway.  The hotel seems primarily geared towards people traveling on business, or if wanting to stay the night if seeing a show or concert at the Cerritos Performing Arts Center.
