Stayed for 12 days They were very helpful and fast with check in especially a late one They listen to your needs and help you with things you need

The pool and jacuzzi are perfect The staff are super friendly There’s also a taco truck outside until 2AM I enjoyed my stay there and will most definitely keep using holidays Inn when I’m in LA

Rob F.

Service is incredibly slow It was very difficult to get anything sent up to the room or have our room serviced The fitness center did not have any type of cleansing products for days

When I asked for them in the morning I was told that the cleaning staff wasn’t in until later in the morning…so, basically, a dirty gym every morning during a pandemic Very poor

Candice Delgado

It is a hotel It has beds, bathrooms, pillows etc They no longer come to your room daily and refill towels/soaps or clean your rooms

They will come in on the 5th night However, you can ask the front desk to replenish your towels/soaps as you leave for the day They will not come into your room while you are thereTheir breakfast is available a la carte Very expensiveThey have about 8-10 couches in the lobby, random hotel tables, it is a very strange set upLots of homeless near the property Every morning when we left there was a homeless person sitting in their courtyard The carpet in the hallways is wrinkled up, be careful when you walk so you don’t tripOverall, it’s a bed AC is cold, shower is hot Nothing more, nothing less Our family will not be staying here in the future Lots of options available

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

For a hotel you need to spend a night or two away, this place honestly gets the job done No complaints on my end Not overly luxurious but not a drop dead dirty motel

Some parts of this hotel do seem a little more run down than others Good A/C Pool included Bar in the evening and reasonably priced breakfast and brunch, not complimentary like other hotels, but coffee is free Staff is very friendly and lobby is nice and cleanDistance to DTLA is roughly 20 minutes and to other areas like Hollywood and Santa Monica, you can expect around 30-40 A lot of commercial areas nearby Montebello and places to get foodMe and my partners room was abundantly clean, staff did a great job TV with cable, microwave, fridge, coffeemaker and safe box We stayed on the fifth floor Hallways were quiet for most of the night and we did not experience any noise complaints, hardly heard anything throughout the entire eveningOverall, good place to stay Worth the cost and worth the amenities I know all rooms aren’t the same but for our experience, we had a very comfortable and relaxed time

Becky Raborg

While we loved the room and the staff was great it was a heck of a long walk to the rooms at the other end of the hall!The pool needed to be skimmed and there were no towels We had to go searching for someone to bring some then they never came back to bring more

Also, there were no signs to tell you how to get to the pool

Jaime Mitchell

I am currently staying at this location I checked in last night for a 3 night stay On arrival, my family of 4 and I only had a set towels for two people

I had to request towels for my family and I on 3 separate occasions I called to remind the front desk and eventually sent my nephew downstairs to retrieve what we needed Tonight we arrived after a day of sight seeing and the ENTIRE parking lot is full because of 2 parties on site I had to park across the street at the mall As a paying customer, I don’t feel that is providing excellent customer service I have the recommendation to have the guest of those hosting the party RSVP so that they can get a count of how many parking passes are needed for the mall parking Those visiting the property for the festivities should be made to park at the mall As a paying customer, I find this unacceptableWhen I brought this issue to the front desk personnel, I was just told they had two parties going on, and that they were sorry for the inconvenience I will not be returning here

David Williams

Spring Hill Suites by Marriott was a great stay for us We stayed here for one night and it was quite pleasant The suite was huge and had all the amenities we needed in the room (a microwave and compact fridge)

The bed was firm but soft The restroom was clean and bright The sitting area was comfortable, roomy and rather relaxing There was even a desk area for us to put our laptops and do a little work that evening On the opposite wall of the desk is a little coutertop space that we used for the snacks we had with us However, the best perk about this stay was the hot breakfast they offered the next morning Everything from make your own waffles, to scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, toast, cereal, warm muffins, sausage links, apple and orange juices, cow milk, and coffee as well as an assortment of fresh fruits and yogurt I will definetly be back to this establishment when I’m in the area and need a clean, quite place to lay my headOnly issue I had here was that that didn’t offer almond milk Can’t satisfy all the people all the timeright!?

Albert Wu

There’s probably a staff shortage We checked in at around 9:30pm There was nobody at the front desk

Waited for about five minutes to get help The hotel remodeling seemed to have finished While most furnishing looks new, the bathtub is old with much stain and scratches The building structure might be too old Can hear every step of residence the floor above When the resident above rolls luggage on floor, it sounds like a truck is running aboveBreakfast is good

Ro Herms

Stayed here for a week in Spring 2022 The property was undergoing a remodel I was in a room that had just been finished

While everything was “new” the plumber had messed up the water pipes in the shower, so cold was hot and hot was cold After getting past that snafu, the place was decent Its not the easiest to get to from the interstate, but it can be done Its quite enough given its location next to the metro and interstate Breakfast was hot and good, and the cookies fresh in the evening Staff was friendly and courteous Housekeeping was up to snuff

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

Zakwan Nasser

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

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

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

The hotel was very clean and the size of the rooms were perfect There were good facilities and the bed was very comfortable The staff was very friendly and helpful

On arrival it was possible for us to upgrade our room and it was overall a very good value for the money The parking lot was very large and free of charge There was even dedicated parking security and the hotel facility was very well maintained overallThe rooms are unfortunately a bit noisy, so we could unfortunately hear our room neighbors during various disputes The times for breakfast are unfortunately only until about 9:30am and the variety could be more

Monica

I loved literally everything but the bed and pillows

bulky pillows that dont feel great to sleep on and a bed that could only be comfortable if it had a pillow top layer added to it Bed Linens weren’t a problem though, they were fairly soft enoughOverall it felt clean, modern, and better than averageFront desk service was better than average with every employee I interacted with They were all welcoming, efficient, and agreeable I was impressed and pleased with every staff member I encountered!I did notice the freeway noise, but not enough to make it a deal breakerBut yeah, the bed unfortunately isI will have to continue to try other properties because unfortunately the sleeping part is too important to me to compromise, at this pointBut thank you Hartford Hotel for all you got right!! It was pretty close to perfect!

Lovely lolow

Renaissance Marie Austin

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

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

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

Spring Hill Suites by Marriott was a great stay for us We stayed here for one night and it was quite pleasant The suite was huge and had all the amenities we needed in the room (a microwave and compact fridge)

The bed was firm but soft The restroom was clean and bright The sitting area was comfortable, roomy and rather relaxing There was even a desk area for us to put our laptops and do a little work that evening On the opposite wall of the desk is a little coutertop space that we used for the snacks we had with us However, the best perk about this stay was the hot breakfast they offered the next morning Everything from make your own waffles, to scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, toast, cereal, warm muffins, sausage links, apple and orange juices, cow milk, and coffee as well as an assortment of fresh fruits and yogurt I will definetly be back to this establishment when I’m in the area and need a clean, quite place to lay my headOnly issue I had here was that that didn’t offer almond milk Can’t satisfy all the people all the timeright!?

There’s probably a staff shortage We checked in at around 9:30pm There was nobody at the front desk

Waited for about five minutes to get help The hotel remodeling seemed to have finished While most furnishing looks new, the bathtub is old with much stain and scratches The building structure might be too old Can hear every step of residence the floor above When the resident above rolls luggage on floor, it sounds like a truck is running aboveBreakfast is good

Stayed here for a week in Spring 2022 The property was undergoing a remodel I was in a room that had just been finished

While everything was “new” the plumber had messed up the water pipes in the shower, so cold was hot and hot was cold After getting past that snafu, the place was decent Its not the easiest to get to from the interstate, but it can be done Its quite enough given its location next to the metro and interstate Breakfast was hot and good, and the cookies fresh in the evening Staff was friendly and courteous Housekeeping was up to snuff

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

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!

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!

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!🙌🏾♾🙏🏾

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

HeavenSent Iajed

My first night I stayed I was supposed to be checked in to a two bedroom When I walked into the room it was smoking and was unbearable to stay in They did not have any two-bedrooms available so I had to stay in a one bedroom queen

There were roaches crawling in the roomThe staff were very unprofessional, and had me wait 3 days to receive anew room The staff don’t communicate with each other about previous shift complaints Then told me I wouldn’t be promised a refund No pots and pans available for two nights straight Terrible management, and establishment all together
