We stayed here for 4 nights to attend our daughter's dissertation defense at Cal Tech. It was immaculate with friendly staff. The beds in our room were doubles, and though we started out together, it's not as comfy as our queen bed at home, so we ended up moving over, more than once. The continental breakfast was in the hotel... More

I spent one night a Saga, in between meetings. The motel is well situated, on Colorado Ave, but the noise does not enter the room. Room is spacious, clean, and bathroom functional. No special decoration, no renovation for at least a decade or two. It is a place to sleep, to get rest, not to enjoy. Breakfast is minimal, to... More

We booked a 4 night stay here for a family vacation. Myself, my husband and 2 kids. I was unaware until I arrived, but, there is no coffee pot in the room, and no microwave. The wifi is horrible! I was in the middle of booking another hotel for later in our trip and got kicked off!! There is only... More

The room was very clean A+ to cleaning staff. I felt safe staying there. The desk clerks very friendly and helpful. The location was great. Many eating places in walking distance. I would stay again. We stayed 2 nights.

Basically clean, nothing fancy, just fits the need for a busy visit to Pasadena and its sights. Appear to have a number of long term residents who entertain the children at the pool, nice way to teach kids respect of their elders.

Clean, comfortable, spacious. If you are as old as I am, you'll like this place for it's nostalgia. If you are too young to know about "Route 66" this is a good place for a lesson about it's good motels.

The motel boasts a lovely private pool with plenty of room to sit rounds and relax. There is free wifi and breakfast thrown in too. Been ther before and will go back again. The room we had... More

It couldn't be more convenient to PCC sporting event across the street. The AC unit is nice and quiet and with the windows that open, no problem sleeping, although the pool side had late night Saturday night noise. Price is right, shower good, TV fine, and a mid century classic.

My son and I stayed here for one night in February while checking out Cal Tech on a college tour. It was a great deal -- the least expensive place we've stayed in all the college-touring we've done -- but, you know, you kinda get what you pay for. Our room was reasonably spacious and clean enough, and it was... More

This charming, fifties style motor hotel was a very enjoyable stay. It is situated within walking distance of several places to eat and easy driving distance from Old Town Pasadena but far enough away for a good night's sleep. The room could use with a cosmetic update but everything was clean, secure and quite. I'll stay here again...
