I was a bit concerned with the hotel when I read some of previous reviews but decided to give it a try anyway as I will be in this area for a long while. FYI - I have stayed at most Hilton family hotels in this area - Hilton Glendale, Hilton Universal, Hilton Pasadena and Embassy Arcadia. So I have a comparison point.
Notably:
- Free full buffet breakfast coupons and drink coupons for elite HHonors members. The restaurant is kind of small so at times you might have to wait a bit to be seated.
- While close to freeway, i did not hear any freeway noise so assuming solid insulation.
- It gives 500 HHonors points for each night that you decline cleaning service.
- Close drive to many restaurants, especially authentic Chinese restaurants.
- The hotel deco is more contemporary. To some it might be a negative point solely due to the style but for me appealing. Bedding was comfortable to me. I agree with some reviews that room lighting can be improved. But overall fine with me.
- Wireless connection is not secured and at my room only 60% signal strength. Was told by the front desk there is a hard wired connection in the room. But it did not work. So this is definitely a negative.
Overall I feel it is a good value for the price I pay. I will stay here again.
