Convenient Location

Very convenient location. Across the road is Traders Joes, which is a good grocery shopping center, and there is a convenient walk-way underground to cross the road safely.

10/10 Exceptional

This was a quaint little hotel, small and clean. They actually gave a key to the room, something that I have not used in years.

10/10 Exceptional

It’s not your 5 star hotel but a great place to stay when you’re looking for a convenient location. The rooms are dated, but not uncomfortable. We were going to an event at the Rose Bowl and this motel offered free parking and was really close to the venue. The owners are on site and super attentive! I would definitely stay there again.

The bathroom was clean but curtains and blanket were terribly smelling! The pictures in web site are misleading: it’s only a motel for one night il you don’t find anything better!

No Frills Motel. Very Basic.

No frills motel. Everything is Basic but works. Rather small rooms. Not much space to move around. TV suspended from ceiling should be on wal & causes neck strain to watch!. It is small motel so adequate parking . Shower unlit? . We get what we pay for. Nearby similar cost slightly more for larger rooms.

This little gem is awesome! Clean rooms, immaculate bathroom, friendly staff that's there when u need them and who leave u alone when u dont..water pressure and temp is great in the shower. The area is safe and very convenient. Lots of choices for food (Cindys Diner across the street, Thai, Italian and burgers down the road. A Trader Joes kitty corner from the motel and Von's grocery a little further down the road) The only changes id make in our room is an electrical outlet in the bathroom and more drawer space for clothing, etc. I travel frequently to LA and will definitely be booking here again. As a matter of fact, i plan on being a regular :)

Small space, but great for the price👍

Price was great!!! We just needed a place to sleep. It was 20 mins drive to Universal Studio. Free on-site parking is great. 1 king size bed room for 3 of us (mom with 2 teenagers) was good enough. No closet space. The room was tiny. Hot water for shower! Heater was loud, but worked well. Refrigerator and microwave was great help. Trader Joe's is walking distance/ 7-11 is close enough/ Cindy's diner across the street.

Not sure how it has so many high ratings

THE GOOD: staff (maybe family owned?) is friendly and helpful, despite a significant language barrier, the location near Rose Bowl Stadium is good and an easy Uber, and it's across street from Trader Joe's to buy breakfast stuff and wine, cuz you're gonna need it. THE BAD: the place is old, the room is small, the bed is rock hard with two small flat pillows on a king size bed, the bathroom does not have a single electrical plug, there is no light in the tiny shower that has mold in it, there is nowhere to put your suitcase as the room is too small. No closet or dresser, the tv is mounted up in the corner and ruins your neck if you try to watch it, no hair dryer in the room, although they gave me one when I asked for it, but it was a typical hotel dryer that should be mounted on the wall, so i plugged it in and the base of it just dangled on the wall while I used the dryer. I am not a hotel snob and I really try to see the good in places, but this one, even at the price, will not be seeing us again.

A little bit of judgment and rudeness

I cant really complain with cleanliness but the rudeness of the woman and judgement was very unsettling. When your asking for help because TV is not working and the first thing that is said is "you have too much stuff in room's was very upsetting as I had donations dropped off for victims of the fire that recently happened and I felt it was an insult to my intelligence because the internet or cables of a TV is not impacted by what's on the ground and it was lined up neatly as well l I've stayed in many motels to know that that answer was bogus and very insulting to me and it felt as though they judged me . The gentleman later in conversation stated that everyone's having that problem because of the winds. I'm sorry but people that are going through a rough time as they are experiencing homelessness and impacted by an evacuation from A near-death experience don't need to hear these type of comments in a moment such as this.

La habitación un poco pequeña para 3 personas, 2 adultos y 1 niño. Tampoco tiene donde poner las maletas y tienen que estar en el suelo dificultando el paso. Pegado al hotel hay un lava coches y hacen mucho ruido

Stanza piccola e abbastanza sporca. Aria condizionata rumorosa. Prese elettriche mal funzionanti. Unica nota positiva: di fronte al Motel si trova un ottimo diner, Cindy's, che serve ottime colazioni.

Skuffende ud fra tidligere vurderinger.

Meget gammelt og slidt hotel, vi valgte det på grund af den gratis parkering. Det var et meget lille værelse, og badeværelset var meget “træt” bruser dryppede, og køleskabet måtte vi slukke for, på grund af en irriterende “hyletone”

Wonderful staff. Easy parking. Quiet, and good WiFi. Reasonable. Although the place is old and outdated, they do a very good job keeping it clean. This was my 2nd stay here.
