Stayed at this hotel for 6 nights. Room was clean, Internet good, TV good. Fridge and microwave included. No problems at all with the room. The reception area was the only down side. There is a screen between you and the people in reception. This screen makes it very hard to hear what is being said. This was made worse by the apparent disinterest of the people behind the screen. Overall though I was happy with this hotel, its location and would stay there again.

We arrived around 7:30pm and we were greeted/checked in w/no problems. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The room smelled pleasant, had a nice flat screen TV (was missing remote went to front desk and got another remote right away) and the shower was nice and hot. It was a bit higher priced than I would have liked, but that was fine for one night. We heard the upstairs guests walking around often (the ceiling creeked and squeaked) until around 11:30pm, which was a little annoying. We checked out in the am without any problems. I would stay here again - it was clean, we felt safe and the staff was friendly. Thanks Glen Capri! We also appreciated the e-mail contact, reminders and thank you note for our stay.

Stayed here one night. Big mistake. Firts of all I asked for a non smoking room, and room we got reeked of smoke. The restroom walls were splatered with something. The wash cloth's and towells had stains on them. We had to ask for new bed sheets because those were stained too. This place was just plain gross. Not worth it, just to save a few bucks.

We had booked two nights at Pasadena Rodeway. I was tired of staying in LA (where one has to drive no matter where one stays anyway) and paying for hotel parking, and I thought Pasadena/Glendale had good freeway connections for what we were looking for. The Rodeway was $10 cheaper, but was just plain depressing. It's not a place for people looking for fun or romance to be sure. We also considered the highly rated Jerry's Motel near LA Live, but when we visited, although they were super nice, the hotel did look a little dark and dingy.

Anyway, on to Glen Capri on San Fernando. We saw Glen Capri on Tripadvisor, called to make reservations and showed up. One interesting thing is they took our credit card, and then told us they'd hold it until 8 pm. :) No late night arrivals--but they are a hard working family trying to make money--so we just made sure we got there well before 8 pm.

We were pleasantly surprised by how clean, spacious, and liveable the motel was. We stayed upstairs and loved the neon sign--really retro in a great way. The counters, sofa in room, large flat screen tv with HBO, wireless internet by google, quiet fridge/microwave--were all liveable touches. Free parking, and close to freeways. I thought the shower pressure was a wee bit low and had one of those spigot controls that are mysterious and one has to divine to max out hot water and water pressure. Also, the ice machine was not free sadly.

The motel is quaint enough that it has been used in many movies as "the affair" place. You can look it up. But overall, compared to more depressing alternatives, I thought this was a very liveable and great stay. I only wish I had mentioned my triple AAA to get the discount (which may be 10%).
