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

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

Almost perfect experience Stayed here for 4 nights which two were in Studio King two were in 2 bedrooms suite Rooms were new, spacious and clean

Many thoughtful small details such as auto-sensed lighting, lots of power/USB outlets, toaster, coffee machine…complimentary breakfast with enough choices Only two complaints would be thin floors and ceilings which you can easily be bothered by upstairs footsteps; and (nearly) too low water pressure in bathrooms Overall it’s highly recommended Will definitely come back here again

Shelby Lofton

Clean, beautifully updated and spacious! The bridal party at my best friend’s wedding got ready in one of the hotel suites, and the space worked perfectly for all of us and the make up and hair artists I called and requested that the room be cleaned and set up for the bride and groom after we used it A hotel employee by the name of Elijah made it happen, and even called and texted me updates of the room with the beautifully arranged rose petals, etc! They also allowed us to request a late hotel checkout for the happy couple

Thank you, Elijah and staff!

The staff were really friendly yet professional The hotel design was nice Love the Jacuzzi and pool

I personally wasn’t impressed with the room Some parts look very new,Like: I love the bathroom It has motion sensor which really useful especially night time I also love the shower design of how shower faucet is on one side and shower valve on opposite side They do have quiet hour from 10pm-8am Starbucks coffee The location of this place is surrounded by many great places Walkable distance from restaurants/cafe, shopping center, and so onDislike: We found a hair blush that was left from previous tenant I personally dislike their pillows, it was ultrasoft type with no volume to keep up the structure, I then requested a firm pillow, however, they delivered additional ultrasoft pillows Some parts look very old It got me wondering why they didn’t paint over or renovate it There was not a lot of choices for breakfast Just egg, bread, muffin, waffle No bacon or sausage Around 8pm, our upstairs neighbor decided to stomp around It wasn’t like people walking around It was like one person stomping around back and forth for 20 minutes I really didn’t do anything since it wasnt during quiet hour, didn’t really bother me but still wanted to mention Water from shower went down very slowly during/after shower, I personally don’t like standing on puddle of water after showerTheir garage parking is $25 (first 2 hours is free, after that is $5 until it’s $25)Complimentary breakfast from 6am-9amPool: 8am-10pmGym: 24 hours

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

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

We loved this hotel! The staff was very welcoming and friendly The room was spotless and the beds were very comfortable! We didn’t hear any noise from outside or in the hallway, so it was very peaceful Parking in their garage was $24, but it was well worth it for us in order to have peace of mind that our car would be safe

They took that $24 off of the $50 security deposit, which made things much easier We were refunded the rest of that security deposit within 24 hours of checkout They also have a gift shop in the lobby that stays open pretty late (10:30/11pm depending on the night) with food and other important things that you may have forgotten! I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Jennifer Noel

This hotel was clean and the staff/service was excellent Our entire stay was pleasant because the staff at this Hilton was so kind and accommodating They anticipated our needs and made us feel at home

We never had to ask for anything because they were already there to help us The hotel itself is close to restaurants and the nearby mall Self-parking is easy but the valet staff is kind and courteous as well The breakfast buffet our group was offered was consistently fresh and well stocked; unlike your typical continental stale pastries other hotels pass off as a “buffet” If you stay there, know you can count on Javier for anything you might need He’s a very kind, polite person who takes great pride in his work He was the Hilton employee who really made our stay enjoyable and comfortable and not just “another room at any ordinary hotel” We would stay there again because of how welcome he made us feel

Eduardo Tello

It’s a Hilton, but a very old one Staff was great, default for HiltonRoom was old, no shower just a bathtub, and it was super dark

The windows are floor to ceiling and opens like a balcony door, but it has no balcony So be careful because someone can open it and fall from the building It was bizarre to see that But the views were amazingParking is also a bit expensive at $24, but California parking is crazy nowadaysI’d prefer to stay at the Woodland Hills location next times – which is renovated

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

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

We stayed here for 5 days and did not have one complaint about the place! It’s a small spot nestled between the mountains in Glendale, and super close to the freeway so very convenient A safe place for family, safe to walk as well The rooms modern and clean

👌🏼 Amazing people in the office, and very helpful and accommodating We will be back when we visit LA! ♥️

I would like to recommend this motel to anyone looking for a place to stay around the area They were incredibly accommodating and friendly! The room was clean and comfy, no complaints about anything about the room Everything in the room worked great and had no problems

It was spacious and exactly what we needed We were there for a weekend getaway and spent it feeling like we made a great choice in staying here The price was very reasonable and the fact that it had a gated parking area for the guests was a plus Would very likely stay here again if we come back to the area

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

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

The people are very nice and friendly On Tuesday there was a mad rush at the breakfast bar, and the GM of the hotel was found cleaning tables and chipping in however he could It was beautiful to see the staff still smiling and being courteous and the guests were also very appreciative of that

Breakfast bar was really good My family kids loved the pastries and omelette!Rooms were really spacious! The couch and work desk with TV was in one room and the other room has the beds and TV So it was perfect when we had to send the kids early to bed and we could hang out on the couch My husband could also work at the desk in the other room peacefully!Pool was good Warm enoughOverall a very pleasant experience and cannot wait to go back !

The staff were super friendly! They called a couple days in advance to give me an option for a room (mountain view vs atrium) I called back and requested a King with a mountain view, which they then upgraded me

Exceptional service like their staff gave before (wow!) and during our stay is a reason why I love being a Hilton member This was my first time staying at an Embassy Suites, and will totally stay here again Highlights: Easy check in, friendly and helpful front desk staff, on-site parking, hot breakfast in the morning (the omelets looked good, but the wait was way too long so we passed), lots of coffee downstairs in the morning (and alternative milks), clean room, close to Pasadena, Burbank airport, and Hollywood; and easy peasy check out Minor things: The underground parking structure is narrow and slightly confusing, and our room could use a fresh coat of paint (we thought the ceiling had a bug, but it was a black line from a marker?) Overall, a solid hotel 100% would stay here again

I understand that there’s a pandemic going on, and that the hospitality industry is suffering from a lack of hiring new employees However, I feel that if these major corporations would step up and do the right thing, and pay the money, a living wage that the employees deserve, there wouldn’t be such a lack of employees in the hotel industry Having said that, this hotel although the rooms are nice and large, the hotel was dirty! And during a time of a pandemic when you’re concerned about germs, it is disturbing to see just how dirty the windows, the glass doors, the elevators, and the buttons, the walls etc

are just full of handprints and fingerprints it’s just filthy! When we arrived at this hotel to check in we received the key to the room, went up to the room and it was dirty, had not been cleaned from the previous guest that had stayed there Went back downstairs to the front desk, told the front desk employee, who said that they would contact housekeeping Upon contacting housekeeping they told us we would have to wait for a clean room because they were short staffed in housekeeping We waited The room appeared to be clean And I did enjoy the layout of the room But the hotel overall in the common areas as previously stated, was just absolutely dirty It is very disappointing that the hotels will not step up and pay the employees a living wage so that they can take care of themselves and their families Parking is conveniently located underground at the hotel, and that was a positive experience The breakfast in the morning that they offer as a free buffet breakfast, was limited, but good CAB

We had a great stay here The loft suite was super cool The hotel is quiet and has the feel of an apartment complex

The area is pretty safe and close to fun things in ArcadiaThe breakfast buffet had tons of options and good coffee Every staff member we encountered here was very friendly and focused on a pleasant experience We had no issues

I got a ground floor room & the thing I didn’t like was I could hear the people talking outside & footsteps from the top floor as they were getting to leave But it’s clean Room is spacious with comfortable bed, but TV was a little smaller

Breakfast is good, but they ran out fast & didn’t replenish it as quickly Staff was helpful, friendly & accommodating Area was convenient & accessible to a lot of eateries

Stayed here on a Friday night for one night only and that’s probably a good thing For a Marriott brand hotel, I was pretty disappointed I have a high level Bonvoy Marriott level and this is the first hotel to deny a complimentary upgrade

Not a huge deal as I was only staying one night The room is mediocre for Marriott The walls were splattered with stains, cabinetry was worn down to the wood, a couple recessed lights were partially hanging out of the ceiling, the exterior door didn’t shut very well, couch looked well used, and some of the lights didn’t work Breakfast was your typical continental I did like that everything, including the hot items, were individually wrapped I hate seeing other people grab at the serving spoons only to have it fall into the bacon! However, the packaged food had a bit of that packaged wrapped taste that you get when you eat an instant microwaved burrito Overall, still better than a typical Wyndham brand hotel but definitely not up to Marriott standards

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

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

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
