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

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

I’m only giving one star because I can’t give zero My entire stay at this hotel was terrible from start to end When we first arrived we were given a room that was not cleaned

We walked in and the room was turned upside down The new room we were given was across from a gas station so it was loud all night We were told we have to request 24hrs prior for our room to be cleaned or towels I scheduled for fresh towels and never received them When I called to inquire I was told we were never added to the list The rooms were poorly light The air conditioner also broke in the middle of the night All of these combined made the hotel stay bad However the icing on the cake was when someone came into my room without permission Our suitcases were ransacked Personal items pulled out Jewelry gone through and $100 stolen I immediately reported this to the front desk A “report” was taken and I was told to expect a follow up call Saturday When I called to follow up the manager on duty had no idea of my complaint and I now I have to wait until Monday for the general manager to investigate The hotel employees are thieves and the management is awful A trip ruined by their lack of service Never go here unless you want to be robbed!

Ty W

Highly recommend this location Then only reason for loosing a star is no real blankets and the hours for cafe etc are not the best Great staff , nice facility and great location

Some things are really dated but understand that with the way things are resources are limited We have stayed multiple times and will definitely be back especially because we get to bring our fur baby with us and the great restaurants, bars and shops walking distance away Highly recommend

Stephanie S

1st room we were given has wet red spots all over the carpet Looked like they tried cleaning it but it was really wet still The ac was horrible and the room was just dirty looking

We asked for a different room and that room was great Not sure why they still book people in a dirty room with no ac when they have others available Also had to get the bill adjusted because they charged for parking when the site we booked on said free parking Pool is not as amazing as pictures make it out to be BUT great location within walking distance to lots of restaurants

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!

Bruce Parks

We were very happy with our stay here Our room and kingbed were comfortable, and there was ample furniture (even a regular size table and two chairs) to spread our stuff out on Great bathroom – Jet blast toilet (no clogging!) and super clean (tile grout and tub caulk were bright white, no mold or other issues)

Room was relatively quiet though highway noise could be heard due to location Very friendly staff (kudos to Jody in the breakfast room for her cheerful greeting and overall attentiveness) We’re on a cross country drive and this was one of the best hotels in its class that we’ve stayed at

Laura Corbin

Better than the Best Western right next to it but not worth the price They do take AAA though for a discount Bad location but had to be there for work

Definitely not a vacation spot but very good for what was needed Room had a microwave, mini fridge, two comfortable beds, AC, a coffee maker, hair dryer in the bathroom, l It’s of light and curtains for night and a nice TV Staff was great and catered to a wake up call

This place has gone downhill in just 2 years Updated on May 1st 20221

The room I was given was on the 4th floor after asking the clerk Originally it was 2nd or 3rd with loud neighbors just a good guess since this property fits that standard2 The room smells very old3 I think they actually remodeled one room to the newer style Holiday Inns (that they actually use in pictures) My room is very old compared to rooms at other Holiday InnsThese rooms are very dark from 2000-20064 WARNING! EXTREMELY HIGH DEPOSITS HEREA This motel authorizes $15000 to your credit/or debit card here above the price of the room, and taxB The authorization will take 10 business days to be removed *Check your account to be sure the property doesn’t post the charge to your account rather than release it after 10 long business daysC The average Holiday Inn authorizes anywhere from $1000 per night, to $3000 per night Anything above $5000 is outrageous for a motel chain Holiday Inn is a motel chainThis is unfair to the leisure, or business travelerI would not recommend this property unless you get a very cheap price under $7500 The property again is very old, the hallways are old, the carpets are old, and the rooms smellI never can understand how a Holiday Inn justifies authorization to a guests credit/or debit card for $150 when this is a motel, not a hotel that has room serviceStay somewhere else I will never stay here againI happened to be unable to cancel my stay due to using points to stay hereAlways call the motel in advance to verify the depositIt’s funny, the more I travel for work, the worse the Holiday Inn’s get From noise, fights, weed, loud parties, and homeless people It’s very sadSleeping in my company car seems like a much better choice then this smelly propertyI have requested that my company allow my team to stay at a better brand IHG is horrible

Philip George

This hotel is the worst one I have ever stayed 1 the rooms are very very old and smells bad too

2 the environment looks very dirty probably because it’s very old, and it still looks very dirty no matter how you clean 3 the service at front desk needs a lot of improvement, they told one thing yesterday and totally forgot it today Be away from such a bad hotel if you want to have a good night

Gorav Vig

Bad customer service at front desk Reserved 4 nights with points, however on last day front desk told me I have to pay for last day Some confusion happened, however front desk did not help or care to help

Next day, I talked to manager and she did not seem to care about bad customer expierience either Never want to stay in a place where employees don’t care about customer service

Robert Fan

Very typical Embassy Suites experience, albeit the room I had during my stay could have been better maintained One of the towel hooks was loose and the bathtub drain could neither be stopped so as to fill the tub nor easily kept fully open so that water wouldn’t pool while taking a showerAlso the breakfast lacked an omelette bar, which was mildly disappointing

The free drinks during the “happy hour” were limited to two from a very small selection The only beer was bud lightOtherwise, service was great and the hotel is conveniently located near restaurants and shops and easy to access for transportation

Benicio Navaira

The rooms are spacious, big beds There is a small safe, and refrigerator The rooms have a better build, you don’t hear other people in the next room as loudly

As other hotels The staff was very friendly, and helpful they knew when to talk to you And when you don’t expect to be bothered It’s a good location close to stores and places to restaurants It’s also well guarded, people that have no business being here, stay off the property If you’re worried about safety, it’s very safe

Rick Sch

Hotel was nice, and clean AC really struggled to keep room cool, didn’t seem to be pushing much air And not sure why they only have 3 luggage cards in such a large hotel as almost everyone was commenting on why this was an issue for the outing guests

Other than that food Good Pool good, would come back if those 2 areas improve as wasn’t bad otherwise

Rebecca Bosch

Nice place, very clean and nice smellsThe breakfast is very simple but okay and the parking lot for approx 27$ per night is also fine

Staff was trying to be friendly but didn’t succeed I did not get the feeling that we were taken seriously and every question we had was annoying for the staffTwo examples: The towels at the pool were empty so my friend went downstairs to reception The ‘help’ she got was the note that there would be a rack with towels Obviously the rack was empty and we were lucky to have house keeping running around on the same floor and got towels from themSecond example: House keeping had to be requested 24h in advance We didn’t get informed about this at the check in but okay This is not something unusual for the US We stayed in total for 4 nights and after 2 nights we wanted at least fresh towels So we scheduled an appointment for the next day However, when we got back we only found a notice on the floor saying that housekeeping wasn’t possible due to high demandThis frankly is unacceptable and impudent After all, the ‘rent’ per night is fairly highWith better service I’d rate the facility much higher

Austin Rasmussen

We stayed last night, using a free night with our Bonvoy points Good location near freeway and plenty of restaurants to walk to Our room was clean and spacious

Nice kitchen area with working appliances THANK YOU for being dog friendly Our dog adjusted nicely and the employees were very nice to him (and us!) Even gave him a treat at the front deskThe breakfast was very good and there’s nice areas to sit The lady working that area that morning was super friendly and made sure everyone was doing well She’s awesome!Only complaints:• thermostat was a bit confusing Even with instructions We got it working but it was very low strength to cool the room- breakfast ended a bit early (9am)- pull out couch bed was very uncomfortable We also heard other guests complaint about it

Tatsuo Suki

This Residence Inn in Pasadena is a nice hotel for both short and extended stays The room that we stayed in was clean and had no issues with it The staff were nice and accommodating with requests that you may have

The breakfast is still a “grab and go” type of breakfast due to COVID but they do have ready-made oatmeal with all the toppings you want, which is great The giant chess set on site is rather fun to play with and the pool is typical of a Residence Inn pool – which is located outdoors, 2nd floorAll in all, a nice stay and will definitely be back to visit

This hotel has everything, a pool, outdoor seating with games and a gas fire pit The room are clean and very accommodating for all Pet friendly

Water pressure in our room was intense Breakfast buffet included eggs, sausage, fruit parfait, cereals, Oatmeal and juices Parking is $24 a night We had to park in overflow parking at the mall next door We were given a parking pass to avoid the mall charge too The area is very walkable and enjoyable

Phinehas Johnson

Getting from our room to the garage was almost impossible It drove me insane trying to get on the right elevator and then having to ride it all the way up and all the way back downThe room kept losing electricity at night causing our sound machine from turning off

Plus the room smelt pretty odd after flushing the toiletLuckily only stayed one night or would have asked for a new room No clear fix for the elevator situation

Nicole Hok

I highly recommend this hotel It’s new, it’s modern and roomy Best of all: really nice and heartwarming customer service

Angelo made our 15 yr anniversary stay very special 🙂 and comfortable It’s a convenient location away from the busy LA area with a beautiful view of the mountains in the Pasadena area! Breakfast: very nice variety with fresh berries! Next time we visit LA/Disneyland, we’ll definitely book here again and recommend family & friends to here Loved it here! THANKS ANGELO!!

I stayed here for a few nights near the end of July and it was one of the more reasonably priced hotels close to Glendale My stay was enjoyable somewhat and the building is pretty quiet as whole which was nice The tall gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and he helped me during my entire stay

The only 2 complaints I have are the loud beeping sounds that came off from what I believe is the smoke alarm in the room I had a 1 bedroom suite and the room with the bed had a loud beep that goes off every half hour or so That was annoying but it didn’t bother me much but for other people it may be a problem Another issue we had was the mattress for the sofa bed had brown mystery stains, which I had noticed were on the curtains in the same room as well I’m not sure what the stains could be but I would leave it up to the imagination With the stains being there I just ended up folding the sofa bed back into place I didn’t want to make a big fuss out of it nor did I want to have to change rooms, getting the top floor is a rarity for me these days so I just ignored it during my stay Aside from those issues the rooms are pretty clean, much cleaner than other Marriott branded hotels I’ve stayed in The hotel itself is dated but you can tell they are trying to update it with a newer looking bathroom Overall I enjoyed my stay but the issues I had within my room made me lower my star rating for the hotel

Kim Smith

The Courtyard by Marriott is a lovely hotel, who provided a wonderful banquet for our event The room was lovely, buffet food was delicious, and the service superb in the replenishment of the food at the buffet, water and tea at the tables, and clearing of plates after we’d eaten I’m sure that the bar outside the banquet room was well-manned, as well, as it was last year

I just didn’t happen to visit the bar for a drink this year, as I did last year The only reason that I gave it a 4-star, rather than a 5, was because at the end of the night, when I was saying, “Good night” to my friend and her son who were staying there, I said, “Have a peaceful night” Her reply was, “Well, that might be difficult, because this hotel is noisy as hell” They were staying there both Friday and Saturday night, because they live down in Manhattan Beach I didn’t stay there, because I don’t have to drive as far I’m sorry to hear that’s it’s not as peaceful there as it should be

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

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

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!

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

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

They do a lot of little things that make this a special place Bath mat, laundry hamper, great soaps and lotions, cool decorations all around, just feels like the owners really care about their guestsLocation was great for us, easy to get on the 10 freeway, or just drive down Huntington to LA or PasadenaThe price was super, definitely the best value aroundThank you Spencer, Lydia, Jessica, Randy, and the rest of the fantastic staff!I can’t wait to stay here again!

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

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 🙂
