I have never been to a hotel that literally smells and sounds like I’m at a fancy spa resulting in an instant feeling of peace and relaxation! Sounds weird yes but oh so wonderful! The staff was lovely and the rooms were comfy and clean (the room even had disposable slippers and some snacks too)! The little extra touches made this place stand out for sure! We were in town for a track meet at South Pasadena HS and it was a nice walk to get there. Also had some delicious ice cream (cash only) at a nearby local ice cream shop! Location was quiet as well. My only feedback would be to add a description to the “add-ons” for the porridge (we had no idea what it was but after asking it was dried pork and dried radish which is not something my tastebuds are use to so knowing what it was would have prepared me more for the explosion of flavor I was about to get from eating it ;) and having a herbal tea option as the tea options were either black or green. All in all, what a great stay and would highly recommend! Oh, and the dinner/food vending machine was so much fun!

The hotel exceeded my expectations with its clean and comfortable rooms, modern amenities, and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring a smooth check-in process and a pleasant stay. The location was also a major plus, with easy access to Pasadena and Los Angeles, making it convenient for exploring the area.

While my stay was overall enjoyable, I noticed that the soundproofing could be improved, as occasional noise from the hallway and neighboring rooms was audible. Additionally, the breakfast selection could offer more variety.

I have traveled through almost all the countries of the world, but I have never seen a better ratio of price and quality of services provided than in this hotel! Usually in hotels in California and especially in hotels in Los Angeles you pay very expensive and often unreasonably high prices, but in this accommodation you get comfort, cleanliness, delicious food and all the amenities of the highest class!! Many thanks to everyone who works at this hotel and manages all this, thank you for being at such a high level!!

I recommend adding security with key access to the elevator to prevent unauthorized persons from entering the hotel premises!

The breakfast was delicious with hot porridge and a wide variety of options, including the unexpected treat of waffles, along with hash browns and potato chunks. Additionally, there were fruits (bananas, oranges, apples), yogurt, and probiotics. I never expected such a diverse breakfast at this price range. The availability of 24-hour hot water, coffee, and even instant noodles was a pleasant surprise. The staff's friendly and helpful attitude in addressing any concerns added to the positive experience. Overall, it was excellent, especially when compared to the stark contrast with the GreenTree Inn in Pasadena – like night and day.

Stayed in a room on the second floor above the main entrance, where there was a slight noise disturbance at night. However, upon notifying the staff promptly, they were willing to assist in changing the room. Especially when traveling for business rather than leisure, a good night's sleep is crucial, and their responsiveness to address the issue was greatly appreciated.

--Great location near our Cal State L.A. Luckman Theater destination. --on-site Parking available. --Excellent and very pleasant staff. --Property is kept immaculate. --Our room was quiet with a very comfortable bed. --Walgreens' located next door. Mobil and Target within easy walking distance. --Enjoyed the varied breakfast choices.

None of the following greatly affected our stay. We will return. --(1 o/n on Floor 2) There was a little mishap with our room key not working in the morning after returning from breakfast. --There was an ice bucket provided in our room but no sign where to collect ice. (The ice is available in Lobby floor's coffee room.) --We found the TV channel(s)availability confusing. It is set up with Roku. My husband tried, for some time, to find E.S.P.N. --Far corner lamp wasn't working.

The hotel is extremely clean and well located in Pasadena. The staff was super polite and helpful. We wanted to avoid downtown LA and be somewhere nicer and since we had our car, it was easy and quick to reach places to eat, mall, attractions. We were going to Las Vegas after a week in LA, so access to the freeway was also a plus without having to go through the whole city and be stuck in traffic.

The breakfast options could be improved. Only very sugary options (very standard in the US), waffles, cereal, coffee and some ultra processed pastries and bread. It would be nice to have some fruit and maybe ham/cheese.

The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood, but near many restaurants and Services. It’s small and the lobby is nicely decorated. The rooms are pretty standard but comfortable and well equipped. I liked the free parking, free Wi-Fi, the snacks available in the lobby, and the complementary breakfast with good coffee. The bed was comfortable, and I was impressed with the cleaning of both my room and public areas.

Most of the staff were friendly but a couple who did not speak English were rather stern-faced. The rooms have small balconies but I don’t think they are ever cleaned and they could use some attention.

Property is very clean and easy to get uber to fetch us to places of interest and restaurants. Lots of restaurants in Alhambra and Monterey park areas. Breakfast was good, with porridge, eggs, bread, croissants, waffles yogurt, fruits and coffee and tea. Staff were friendly and helpful. Strongly recommended!

Within distance there are some eating places, not a lot. There’s a market and target within 10 minutes walk.

The staff was really nice and helpful. I checked in late and didn't experience any problems, after they called me and had my room cancelled. The breakfast was the norm but it saved me money. I would go back if needed

One of my rooms was messed up prior to arrival and I received a call at 9 PM that one had to be cancelled. They ended up getting me to pull out beds which helped tremendously. They tried to accommodate me as best they could so I have no complaints.

-Super clean. -Offer complementary snacks every time they clean the room. - They offer slippers, and they offer new tooth brush with paster every time they clean. - The staff was super nice - Breakfast was also good - Rooms have good sound proof system, you can’t hear the people next to you.

Nothing. It was great
