Very clean rooms. Breakfast was average. One small piece of advice: rooms facing the road are subject to road noise -- ask for a room NOT facing the main road.

The receptionist was exceptionaly helpful. My room had musty smell and the ac was not cooling. When I spoke to the receptionist about my issues. She was very attentive and moved me to another room. She was definitely the high light of my stay. The floors where sticky and dirty. Bed was uncomfortable and sheets rough, Tub was dirty. No closet or place to hang clothes.

The overall appearance of the exterior was well kept up. Upon check in there was a little wait time but that could have been due to the 4th of July. The room was clean and full of towels. The staff was nice. The only thing I didn't care for was the area was kind of industrial but everything else was good. I would recommend staying here.

Nice cheap hotel, staff are very helpful, rooms are clean, AC works well. However, my ac stopped working my first day but when I notified front desk they moved me to a new room to immediately which had a working ac. The lights in the hallway on floor 3 flicker a lot. Overall a great deal.

Stayed for a night - Mom, dad and 2 girls. It was a good experience and we enjoyed our stay. Parking was easy, breakfast was okay, probably it’s time to get a waffle maker but other than that it was all good.

The hotel itself was spotless, clearly well‑managed, and in a perfect location for everything we needed. The AC worked perfectly and the staff was very nice. The only downside was breakfast. On both mornings we went down to eat, the food was already gone and everything had been put away, leaving us with no options at all. And it was before breakfast time was over.

Parking was avaliable around the property. The location was perfect for an event that was attending at the Pasadena Fairgrounds, located 10mins away. Staff was very helpful and the cleanliness was outstanding. The pool and fitness center we're great and having breakfast at the location was a plus, didn't need to go looking out for somewhere to eat. Overall this place was more than what was expecting and I'd be more than happier to stay here again.

Stayed there for one night. Nothing fancy but fairly new place so everything was super clean and you get al the basic amenities. The rooms are at least 30% bigger than the usual. If you’re looking for a good place to sleep at night and not socialize in the hotel , it’s an excellent place. Breakfast is standard with warm offerings. Overall very satisfying stay.
