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

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

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

jiggbury

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!🙌🏾♾🙏🏾

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

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

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

Aron Hughes

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

Lauree martin

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

Jake Kamalei Wimmer

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!

Wesley

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

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

Every time I come here I love it So peaceful, so clean, so relaxing the beds are like laying in heaven and all the amenities are so worth it Great location for food they also have a great breakfast in the morning

I highly recommend if you have a little extra to spend to come here…the staff put you in a room right away and they are so nice as well!

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

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 breakfast was delicious (the bar with omelettes and Belgian waffles? yes, absolutely!) Even the parking attendants were nice The hotel is located close to all the places we wanted to visit Griffith Park is very close The sunsets are amazing!

Ms Buchanan

We had the perfect stay Everywhere we walked was a photo op The bridge for the family wedding photo was on point

We were there for a wedding and it was 5 star stay Everyone went out of their way to see that we had anything we wanted The wedding location was beautiful It is historic and every detail is well appointed The reception was grand Great dinner, the desert table was second to none and the band was perfect They knew how to play while we ate then had the perfect song list for dancing NO rolling on the river or we are family cheesy tunes Sign of a great band Afterwards we had a beautiful spot to catch up before going to our room and sending up for a late night bite with room service Our room was classically beautiful a tad small but it is a really old hotel We’ll be back!

Stylish and refined in its lusciouness… well kept, well manicured with charming gardens, excellent service and services Spa was fab!And get this, the power went out in the area in the middle of my massage and they calmly and sweetly brought in candles to finish and comped me the massage And had backup power so we still had basics

Very nice experience that could have been uncomfortable otherwise

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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
