Place was disgusting. Beds were hard. Paint peeling from the walls. Boogers on the walls. When you first walk in it was overwhelming smell of cleaner; to mask the smell of stale cigarettes. There cigarette burns in the toilet seat AND bedspread. The bed had an underlying smell is stale cigarette smell. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough!!

There was hair in the sink, a white substance in the bathtub, some small reddish brown circles on the bathroom floor. If that wasn't bad enough, the window, to the right of the was baarded up.

This property definitely needs some work. There was no furniture in my room except for a fridge and a bed. None of the usual amenities I would expect at a motel were present, for instance, hangers for the closet, an iron for wrinkled clothes or curtains to block the bright sign blasting light through the window at night covered only by what looks to be plastic used to protect the windows from stray paint. With that said, this property has the potential to be five stars. It is in an excellent location on the East side of Pasadena off a major road that is walking distance to many shops and restaurants. The rate at the time I stayed was awesome. I was out most of my stay conducting my business and not in the room. They have a nice pool to hang out next to that is well kept. While I can't give this property the rate I believe it will live up to in the future for now, I will definitely be keeping this place in mind for future visits to the Pasadena area and will hopefully see the improvements sorely needed corrected by that time. The improvements look to be actively ongoing, and once those are complete, I'm very sure this place will be a haven for travellers looking for accommodations in the San Gabriel Valley.

It is under contruction and upgrading at the moment. Room was missing end tables, but all things were new, (bed, bathroom, paint, etc.). When finished, this place should be nice. Staff could use an upgrade on hospitality, and customer interaction.

I had roaches in my room, I provided video proof of this and nothing was done. They do not provide hand towels or face towels at all, I requested to have new towels put in my room and it was never done, they were building community microwaves built in cages and drilled directly into my wall all morning and the following day. I will NEVER return to this place ever again.

Space ok. Personnel helpful. Blankets sad.

The people were nice and helpful. There were no blankets in room, and when we went back to ask we were given very thin poor quality blankets that had stains, a cigaret burn and some sticky morsels. There were no washcloths or small hand towels. Did have two clean bath towels. Parking fine by room for easy unloading and ramp accessible. Did have simple desk with shelves set in for storage. Table and two chairs. Large TV.

The motel was in terrible condition outside -- broken, dirty and unsafe. Lightbulbs were burned out outside, and the sign that said "morning coffee" was false advertising, there was NO coffee in the morning (no coffee maker in the room and no coffee or anything in the lobby, which was locked). Also the room smelled. Only positive was that the room was ample size.
