The bathroom had a giant tub with jets which was awesome The junior suite had 2 nice, comfortable, and clean beds The furniture (table, chair, and couch) were really clean and nice

The issues I had was the musty smell that killed my allergies It was almost like a moldy smell, but I didn’t see the mold We probably would have asked for another room except it was night and we were only sleeping there, so it didn’t matter that much Also, opening the window helped a lot 🙂

I have 0 complaints and really, for the price and the type of hotel, whats there to complain about lol? Staff and front desk were very nice Everything in the room worked as it should Room was very clean and AC worked just fine

Location is right by a bunch of restaurants and such so easy access to amenities Would definitely stay here again!

Cem Ozar

Location was quite and safe Room was spacious , bed and sofa were comfy Tv channels were really good

Coffee was a plus We needed laundry , reception helped us to use the laundry of neighbor hotel with which they had agreement Reception helped us by check-in and Ac replacement It was very good to be able to open windows in the room to get fresh airAir condition was very noisy, 1st night hardly slept but the mechman has replaced a new Ac in 20 min Breakfast could be maybe better Breakfast area hardly enough

Priced well and located near the mall and other major stores Only half an hour away from the heart of LA Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is they don’t provide housekeeping services on weekends

Although not the biggest issue, staying for 4 days (3 nights), housekeeping is sometimes desired on at least one of those days However, they do provide extra towels or toiletries, but you have to go to the front desk to request them, which was fortunately easy and convenient They also offer a slightly later checkout at noon which was a major plus

Jacqueline Herdman

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel! Rooms were spacious and clean, and the bed was comfortable I always wipe down rooms with Clorox wipes, and I was really pleased to have all my wiped come away clean! Water pressure was great, and the AC worked perfectly I was staying while my SO was at Alhambra Hospital and was happy with how centrally located hotel is to the hospital, stores and food

And their free breakfast was fantastic!!! Thank you for a great stay!

We had a concert at the Rose Bowl, and a friend recommended this hotel for us to stay atAt 1sr we were concerned about the distance, but was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get there from hereThe hotel staff was amazing, very friendly and helpful

The rooms were large and cleanOur room on the top floor, had a small fridge and microwaveThe bed was comfortable and everything look clean, even after checking closelyOur room was quiet from road and other guest even though we faced the streetOur room even had a small balcony, while no chairs to sit on, it was nice in May to open, turn off the A/C and let the fresh cool afternoon/evening air inThey did have free personal items downstairs if need at the front desk (Razors and such)The pool was clean and cold, not heated, but that didn’t bother usThe breakfast is the normal items you’d see at any motel nowadaysOverall al great place to stay

I have to say the location and amenities are good But service is below expectationThe room does not have hair dryer

We went to and called the front desk to request one, the front desk asked us to check closet every time, though we have already checkedAt the time I’m writing the review, the hair dryer is still not delivered after 45 min, and my hair is already dryHonest advice: consider bringing your OWN hair dryer if you don’t have a lot of time waiting them to deliver to your room

Love the location and especially love the design of the hotel and the new hotel smell that radiates throughout the property! It unfortunately also came with new hotel problems! Namely the pools and workout equipment For some reason the pool didn’t have enough chlorine in it and to the point the employee had to close it manually with no closed sign Workout equipment also didn’t turn on and using the weight machines felt like they were about to pop and break gears any moment

At least the room was a lot better with fast wifi and very comfortable beds and sheets! And even a bidet!Checking was very easy with the person popping into existence as soon as you approach the desk!

ShawntéAshley Lewis

I’ve stayed at this property a few times… Every time, the rooms; (cleanliness and comfort) are a 9/10, restaurant food, front desk Representatives; and even their security over exceeded my expectations! No matter the tone of day, checking in is always a breeze, the young ladies/gentlemen at desk are always a delight…One particular evening though; i checked in rather late after work, and had the pleasure of having Joshua check me in… Joshua went far past above and beyond w/his Marriott way of handling things… Thank you Joshua for making me feel happy to have come back, because of service like Joshua, I remain Marriott Loyal!🙌🏾♾🙏🏾

My stay was a little under three weeks This place is a tale of two cities I realized after some time that this location is definitely in a transitional phase

I saw another comment that perhaps it was a different motel before and was taken over by Comfort InnSo let me start with the Positive: The bed is a dream Very comfortable The wifi was perfect Good place to do online work actually as there is a nice desk and comfy work chair Washer/dryer/gym/business center (in lobby) on site Very clean and sanitized The gym had the most essential equipment needed I really don’t think the gym is getting much use anyway so don’t think anyone has to worry about germs The cleaning lady told me they come in and sanitize at 830am every morning Washer and dryer clean and dry perfectly There is a pool, but did not use it Also there is continental breakfast with some basic choices The next day after checking in the parking lot was fully repaved The ladies who do housekeeping are the golden queens of this places Some clean better than others of course, but they are there early keeping up the whole facility and cleaning service is everyday I am always sure to show them respect The price is pretty good but I guess it would be since there is a lot of transitioning going on The room as a whole has luxury style upgrades but over patchwork plaster where there still needs to be some painting done There is an old mixed with new feel But generally the room had a homely feel Microwave and larger fridge was very niceOkay so the disadvantages Like I said the price is good for all that is offered on site, and if you are going to stay now just know that changes are being made The crowd is a mixed bag Sometimes it is very quiet and then at night it can get a little noisy It seems to me that a Code of Conduct needs to be strictly enforced There were a lot of people not respecting rules adults and kids alike I was gone for one night visiting my sister and came back the next night to find that my room had flood and the tub was filled with black water It was also the room below me that was damaged as well Thankfully the worker that night did the right thing by moving me to another room that was very close No issues with the second room Also one night was discounted for the mishap and all was fine at checkout Customer service needs a lot of help Water pressure in shower could be more

Chris O

Four stars because the rooms, lobby and breakfast room are very clean and modern The hotel has clearly been updated It’s an older place

The amenities in the room are very good I was particularly pleased with the larger refrigerator with a good sized freezer Free hot breakfast is available until 10 am Plentiful hot breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs (probably powdered eggs), boiled eggs, waffles, bagels, bread and a toaster, oranges and bananas The breakfast room requires key entry and is small, so consider taking breakfast back to your room if there are no tables availableStaff is friendly and very helpful

OnlyJadey

This hotel was good for us because the room was clean The bed was very comfortable The air conditioning worked like a charm at 38 degrees Celsius

There was lots of food stores in very close proximity and even a Walgreens The pool was small and had some bugs in it but when it’s that hot you love it anyways The staff were friendly The breakfast was lacking, super small room with only a couple tables, scrambled eggs, tiny sausage patties, cold cereal, tiny muffins, fruit, and waffle iron There is a denny’s down the street

We had a great stay at this hotel, however there was a few things that made us not want to give It a full 5 stars The service was great and the rooms were clean However, the card access for the stairs did not work, several times, and since we had to park in the back due to lack

of parkin gout front this was the most convenient access door Not a huge inconvenience but I figured I would note it in the review Our room also had one small issue that was easily overlooked but may cause the hotel somewhat of an issue is that the shower head was shooting water at the ceiling from a bad connection I’m sure this has just been overlooked due to the fact that they don’t use the shower while cleaning it Other than that Great stay amazing hotel with a great location

Calvin Taylor

The hotel is about what you’d expect–no frills They clean every two weeks, you have to empty your own trash, and fetch your own TP The rooms are clean

The bath is too cramped to use as a bath tub, but it works fine as a shower The beds are hard and you need to supply your own blankets The staff is friendly enough There are some ants and spiders, but no more substantial fauna Were that all, it wouldn’t be a bad placeBut the place is a disaster in other respects The phone doesn’t work (that’s okay in this era of cell phones) The key cards keep loosing their charge What’s killing me this morning is the refrigerator works so poorly that my milk curdled after 3 days I was really looking forward to some milk in my cereal :(I wish I’d payed a little extra

Rowland Richard Schroeder

RUN RUN RUN away from this place We had reservations Checked in

NO ONE up front Had to stand and wait Got our keys Hallways smell like POT Room is DISGUSTING Dirty OLD Fridge, No CUPS NO ICE BUCKET – NOTHING TO USE IN KITCHENETTE Ugly walls – stains and peeling Bathroom BIG red STAIN looks like someone was killed in there Room SMELLS AWFUL – combination of pot and must and NBO We ended up checking out immediately EMPLOYEE did not care NO SORRY NO APOLOGY NOTHING It was like we inconvenienced her We ended up driving down the street and went to stay a NEWLY RENOVATED PROPERTY around corner that was cheaper and like a 5 star resort for MUCH CHEAPER and included breakfast Will NEVER Recommend this hotel or its chain or stay at another one again

Customer service and safety! I felt very safe in this hotel compared to other hotels in Pasadena Also, the room was clean and spacious, and the amenities were excellent The bigger reason for my rating is the customer service

Everyone was very pleasant and helpful The staff at Charlie’s Bar including Randy, Ashley, Rosie, Carlos, Adam, and Raul were very, very, very accommodating and friendly The registration desk employees were so nice! I felt comfortable and they were all so pleasant Thank you!

Sherie Michele

The beds are very comfortable It was so easy to get in and out of this hotel Its practically in the Pasadena Civic Center and right across the street from the Paseo Shoppes and restaurants on Colorado Blvd

I was also pleased with staff member Brady Brady was extremely accommodating and he goes the extra mile to ensure top professional service We enjoyed the pool area although there is no jacuzzi 🙁 The pool is slight heated and towels are provided We will definitely return later for another stay

SuperNinjafox7

Stayed in this hotel about two weeks ago and it was a great hotel Its proximity to the Convention Center made it an ideal option, and the quality of the room was solid As an ex-maintenance worker, the room checked out well

Only complaint would be a subpar exhaust fan in the bathroom Moving on to service, Ivan was wonderful He was extremely patient and helpful with my aging father in answering questions and accommodating our needs Would definitely come back to this hotel if I’m in the area needing a place to stay

Very overpriced low-end dive Demanded and extra $10000 for us to pay with a debit card

They claimed they would mail the $10000 back some time in the future The continental breakfast was a joke A guy in a room behind a window, you have to ask, “do you have any sweetrolls?” He brings one Then you have to ask for coffee Then you have to ask for cream or sugar What a joke!!!!!

Fil M

Tl;dr: the charm is a facade, the area is next to a loud, busy street, and the bed is ancientThe “charm” stops in the lobby where you book a room I called ahead to ask for vacancies and gave me a quote

Once I head in, the woman who gave me the quote pretends she didn’t talk to me over the phone and gives me a more expensive quote My boyfriend steps in to ask her to honor the original quote and she plays dumb gives us a “discount” We end up regretting staying here bc this place is just a bunch of dusty junk in the rooms and and old beds with no consideration for comfort Continental breakfast was mentioned until 10am, but by 9:30am, it was all being packed up Never returning

Beth Franklin

I was having trouble finding a hotel that would accommodate an early morning meeting I would be having via Zoom I was traveling with my family and didn’t want to wake them up by taking it in my room After looking into multiple hotels in the area, this was the first one that told me I could use a conference room without any issues even though it would be just myself using the room

The staff was super helpful (dealt with multiple staff members) and friendly the entire stayThe beds are comfortable and the rooms are “roomy” 😁 The only semi-issue I had was that the room wasn’t completely clean, but it was clean enough

Brandon Ford

The rooms were small, but super clean and well kept The location is PERFECT and there are very many good restaurants, bars, freeways, coffee shops, places to shop, etc

in the area The staff was super accommodating and said “hello” or “good morning” whenever you went bye They had drinks, snacks, and beer available for you downstairs Had a good breakfast and coffee in the morning Nice lounge area to chill if you needed to be out of your room or a place to eat your own food TV’s were accessible as well I wish they would return to regular room service Scheduling I’m advance can be a pain, but it’s easy to work with them on that

Eydie C.H

This was my second visit booked a room for 5 days as I was a guest here In August 2021 for about 4 days Things changed a bit and mostly had to do with my allergies to dogs I felt like perhaps they should have a separate area are floor for dogs Management showed some understanding but besides the dogs I felt that the hotel could use some sprucing my carpet was stained and the Aggie of the property was beginning to show

The bed was comfy and staff was friendly Location was good because you could walk to Metro!

The hotel is clearly under new management/ownership which affected our stay along with the remodeling The staff is very green and unknowledgeable The phones don’t work

The rooms are smaller than other hotels in the area I’d recommend looking elsewhere for the price point Perhaps with time, they’ll tighten up their services, amenities, and staff training but I would not consider staying here again

Anthony Sotelo

This hotel is terrible While it has potential, it should not be open during remodeling The bar was not open, the halls smell like mildew and the overall amenities are not comparable to other hotels with similar price points

When booking it doesn’t mention that only 2 floors were available and that the rooms are very tiny We called and left a message to the manager and received no call back No room service unless you ask I highly recommend you stay elsewhere

Neilou Heidari

I reserved a room block at Hotel Constance for myself and guests for my wedding weekend The hotel rep reassured us that the hotel would reopen before our wedding day, however, a month before our event, told us that they would not reopen in time This left us scrambling to find a new hotel

Not only that, Hotel Constance charged us a deposit but failed to return it back to us – nobody is answering phones or emails I am calling on management/ ownership/whomever to return our deposit ASAP

The internet was very slow, but everything else was great Easy parking, nice rooms, easy access to the city, good hot breakfastSolis (spelling?) was amazing! We ate breakfast all 3 mornings and she was just so friendly and welcoming to me and my family

We couldn’t help but be in a good mood during and after breakfast She asked about our trip and gave us some tips for the beach and things to do Sometimes hotel staff can be cranky and she was the furthest thing from that I had a great stay and she made it even better!

David Barrio

Reasonable and standard rooms Has two closets for the 2 queen bed Towels are small, and thin

Toilet is powerful but loud AC works well, but make sure to move the curtains behind it so that the cold reaches the room Beds comfortable, but if you have people getting up a lot at night it will make noise Never heard neighbors, so I assume that the walls are fairly soundproof Never heard the freewayBreakfast was pretty good, standard continental stuff Eggs a little too salty Very nice breakfast attendant Not many locations to walk to Has a pool, but I never used itOverall an above average hotel, and I would recommend it

Leslie Spencer

If you’ve been in Southern California this last week of June, you know how horrifically hot it’s been Unfortunately, the power had gone out two days in a row in Altadena, and I couldn’t take the heat/lack of electricity anymore Especially since the outage repair had no definite end in sight

Rather than remain cranky, I opted for some self care and booked a last-minute room at the Best Western Pasadena Royale Inn & Suites Check-in was smooth and my room was clean and comfortable I swam in the sparkling clean pool for the remaining hour it was open Beyond grateful for cold, effective air conditioning, I slept peacefully the entire nightBreakfast service was what made my experience at the Best Western stellar Elise was on duty, and she is extraordinary Her enthusiasm, attentiveness, positivity and friendliness is absolutely genuine You can tell she enjoys interacting with the guests In fact, all the staff I encountered went out of their way to ensure I had a good experienceThank you, Best Western, for helping me cool off, relax, sleep well and smile the next day

This hotel is gorgeous! The showers are very relaxing, the bed and pillows are comfy, the ballroom is great for weddings, and the courtyard and pool are a nice plus The front desk was very friendly It is expensive but worth the price, I loved visiting, all of the nearby food definitely adds to the overall experience! However-The Chinese food served at the hotel is amazing! There is a Starbucks in the hotel which is very convenient since tap water is not very good and there are several grocery stores nearby

I wish this hotel had a hot tub or sauna, we didn’t realize by spa they meant something else entirely, which we always look for in a pool but that is the only thing I was missing!

Fehi Mataele

Everytime my family and I stay in LA for a family function this is the perfect hotel!! Everyone that works there gives great service and very attentive to all your needs Ivan who works at front desk is my favorite! He makes us feel like we are back home in Hawaii with his excellent customer service feeling so much Aloha!! We had to ask if he was an island boy & he said he has poly friends so he understands our culture!! Marriott/Sheraton needs to recognize employees like Ivan that go above & beyond to make you feel welcome ! Love the entire front desk staff, always courteous & helpful The staff also from room service are quick & prompt and food they serve is delicious!! Appreciate the Housekeeping staff always quick to respond for extra supplies!! Great job to the management that runs this beautiful hotel!! Yes the rooms are beautiful and beds are beyond comfortable!’ Our family is looking forward to another visit to this hidden gem!!

StiLL Ro

This Hotel give us a 5 stat experience The staff was super helpful and kind The room was amazing

Get an inside room the views to the outside are not that pleasant The second floor rooms are to the pool courtyard However they have high ceilings They have robots that pick up linen and garbage in the mornings Choose a room number around 200- 225 or 270-260 so the walk from the elevator isn’t so long Parking was all day in-outs and there is a Starbucks attached to the hotel Sign up for Marriott rewards if you don’t have them

This place is freaking NICE I stayed here on New Years Eve and there was a DJ in the lobby The music was fun and the atmosphere was fun

They only have valet parking so you’re going to have to tip the valet but you don’t have to pay for parking so that’s nice This is by far the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed at The room was spotless and really nice inside

Chandra Watkins

What a beautiful hotel I got a great price on the room (maybe because they haven’t been open for very long) The racetrack is directly across the street, but I drove there because the walk was too far for me because you have to walk across the parking lot

Hotel is close to everything! We had a great time and will return to try out the restaurant on-site The room was spacious and the mountain views were spectacular I want to try the city view side next time Highly recommend this location!

Very nice, new hotel with a wonderful view of the mountains and the race track Service was top notch and the food was exquisite You gotta try the kale pasta

They also comped the $27 valet charge because I spent money on dinner and they gave me a $36 credit on breakfast because I’m lifetime Titanium elite! A must stop in Arcadia during racing season! I’ll be back

Feedback From Real Customers

Craig Wallace

Very comfortable rooms with excellent service overall The only reason why I did not give 5 stars is because when we checked in the room had not been cleaned properly There was spilled rice on the carpet and a light bulb missing in a lamp

This was promptly fixed but it makes one wonder about attention to detail as this is not a cheap hotel For the rest of our stay the housekeeping was excellent We found the valet service quite fast and enjoyed the restaurant for breakfast

If you are visiting the LA area and are looking for a safe and comfortable stay than this is a solid optionYou are going to get the amenities that you need (unless you need dry cleaning on Memorial Day weekend)The rooms were standard with a mostly clean facilities

The bed and pillows were not the most comfortableStaying here requires you to Valet park your car every time which can get annoying if you are in and out like we wereThe restaurant serves basics for high prices and it would be beneficial to go out for breakfast or dinnerAlthough they state the coffee cart is open at 6, we were unable to get coffee in the morning before heading to DisneylandMy suggestion would be stay here if you need a comfortable and affordable option

This Hilton might be the worst Hilton you can stay at The hotel is loud, dirty, and has homeless people hanging out inside The staff is some of the rudest people I have ever experienced at any hotel

The rooms are old, dirty, and small; you can hear everything outside your room all night The breakfast that was once free now is not, the valet is expensive, and it takes about 45min to get your car I’ve had better experiences at a Motel 6 Save your time and money and stay anyplace but here
