I have stayed at this BW when I visited Monterey Park through the years. I am continued to be amazed by the little new perks they added for their guests, yet still at extremely competitive price. The motel is old, but you can see the effort with the upgrades. It is always clean. Every room is served with two bottles of water daily. The breakfast always has choices of fresh fruits, juice, wafer, eggs, plus your standard continential breakfast, they even serve an Asian rice porridge with all the trimmings. Right next door there are cinema, 24 hour gym and lots of restaurants and a pool on site. It is a pleasant experience.

This place is great if you need a place to stay when visiting Alhambra or South Pass or Monterey Park and won't spend much time in the room, we've not found anything better. We are not sure why it is a BW Plus hotel. It has its issues, but the prices are very reasonable and the service is great. Yes, they forget to clean a room or leave clean towels now and then, but respond quickly to such problems. The breakfast is quite good. The parking is good (park at the back of the lot if you are alergic to door dings). The wireless internet used to be useless, now it is just bad. Connecting is now easy, but the speed is incredibly slow, even checking email is painful. The beds are aging a bit, some are hammock-like. Very problematic for a person with a bad back or a tall person. Our solutionn is my wife sleeping on the least hammock-like side and me sleeping in the middle which is usually sagging less in a king sized bed.
This place has its issues, but is redeemed by 1) very nice staff, 2) very fair rates, and 3) a great location if you are in the Monterey Park, Alhambra, South Pasadena areas. A new shopping center and movie theater and grocery shopping are adjacent.

We very much enjoyed staying at the Monterey Park Inn. I had heard that this city is mostly populated by Asian Americans but had no idea that the immediate area is called "Little Taipei" until so informed by the hotel's brochure. Motel operations were quick and efficient, and the room was quite clean and well-furnished. The only omission was instructions for the "smart" toilet seat which we had to find by searching online. The free wi-fi was password protected and worked flawlessly. The room was large enough for us to eat a meal there. Staff was friendly and helpful--they stored our musical instruments in their storage room (along with several other guests' suitcases and their breakfast supplies). A sign at the desk said that they can help guests in English and several Asian languages.

sensational stay. courteous and professional staff exceeding the normal best western stereotype. well appointed rooms for the price, and convenient to all the things that you need in MP. easy to park the car in front of your room, and not noisy at night despite being on the main road. there is a ralph's next door so if you do get the late night munchies it is easy to satisfy.
complimentary newspaper and breakfast were beyond expectations. self serve waffles were very fun to make. oats and fresh fruit are another option.
