    The rooms walls were very thin and you could hear the guests walking around above us. The stairs to get up to the second floor were very steep and the gate opened outward. They don't have microwaves in the room but they have one in the lobby.

    Great location and historic hotel. The plants looked great and the hotel transported you back in time. The continental breakfast was great and the staff was very helpful. It was located near lots of restaurants that were open late.

    Nothing really, it was great value for money.

    Very nice American motel. Loved the pool and the palm trees. Safe location which is very important on a trip to LA. A few minutes drive to old Pasadena which is a great location for dining and an evening out. Also great value for money and you even get good coffee and breakfast.

    There was a very strong smell in the room, so much that it stuck to my shirt. Not sure what it was, smelled like plastic or cleaning products

    Everything was great, the staff was very welcoming and the room was clean and quiet.

    There were a couple things that could have improved for the overall quality the hotel. The elevator was broken and the noise level is a bit loud when other guests are coming in/out of their rooms.

    The property was clean and staff was always ready to help if needed , I enjoyed the continental breakfast and the location was in a quiet area with plenty of access to local eateries and fast food restaurants.

    The elevator was out of service, and the breakfast wasn't good, it's only tea/coffee with some croissants and some cakes, bananas/oranges, yogurts, etc., but that's it, nothing real to eat :)

    The room was clean, heater - worked good, bed - comfortable, check-in - check-out went smooth, a lot of parking lots, friendly staff.

    The rooms could be a little bit more clean, but they weren't messy or dirty in any way, but since there is carpet on the floor and its an open space outside a lot of dirt comes in and stays on the carpet.

    The breakfast had enough food. The location was very convenient for me since it was walking distance to where I needed to go. Plus, many good restaurants on the area, never needed a car or taxi to move around.
