Did not save room for us

They did not save a room for us though. We had paid for it in advance. We were put in an adu room, that did not have a couch or a chair. Very disappointing as we weren't able to relax.

Did not like having to pay $35 a day for parking on top of the cost of the room. Breakfast and coffee is an extra charge. Most hotels we have enjoyed, have free parking and breakfast as an amenity. This is what we will definitely be looking for next time. The view outside of our room window was terrible, with dilapidated structures all around. The carpet seemed nasty and was stained. Probably would be better not to have carpet, to cut down on germs and odor.

Good location but not much more

Service wasn't great, eg. at check-in they didn't tell me about breakfast or any of the amenities (like pool hours). I asked about breakfast and the person told me the hours and said it was $25 but later when I checked my reservation it was supposed to be included. I also had a bit of a parking fiasco because I wanted to charge my car. The hotel has 1 EV charger but there are 4 more in the same building. Somebody was already using the hotel one so I wanted to use one of the other 4, but that requires going into a different section of the garage. The ticket they gave me at reception didn't work there, so I went back and asked about it, and the same person who did my check in did something for a few minutes and told me to try again, though it still didn't work. There's Electrify America a couple blocks away (again not mentioned by the person at the front desk) but it's in a garage where you have to pay $11 just to go in. It would be really great if a hotel that offers "EV charging" actually helped people charge their EVs! The facility itself is OK but seems a bit worn down and not super clean. We let our toddler run around our room barefoot and his feet were completely black after a few minutes :-/ On the plus side the location is pretty good, there are a lot of restaurants and stuff nearby.

I really enjoyed my stay. The other things I will note. 1. I wish they sent me a reminder email or text a few days before my reservation. 2. A digital clock in my room would have been perfect. I kept waking up to check my phone for the time. 3. It’s not related to the hotel, but the people in the room next to me were so loud and yelling. I couldn’t sleep.

Don’t stay here if you’re traveling with pets!

Stayed here as a pit stop on a road trip from Phoenix to Northern California. They advertise being pet friendly and having EV chargers, so we thought it would be a perfect fit. What we didn’t know was that their pet deposit is $150! Ridiculous. Most places charge ~ $50. On top of that they have a total of 1 EV charger for a pretty large hotel. If you’re traveling with pets, save yourself some money and stay at the Hotel Dena. It’s the old Sheraton at the Pasadena Convention Center. It’s not quite as nice of a hotel, but it’s much more pet friendly and the pet deposit is $100 less. Plus, if you have an EV, there are plenty of chargers in the garage on Level A.
