“Great Rose Bowl get-away”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The location of this hotel is perfect for the Rose Bowl festivities, especially if you're a walker; we walked to both the parade and after that, the game. After I booked the hotel, I checked reviews on Tripadvisor and found a number of bad reviews. Since our son, daughter-in-law and several friends had also booked rooms here, I was a bit apprehensive. But it was fine! The location, as I said, was great, the beds were comfortable, and the rooms were nicely decorated. Breakfast was good, and the people who worked at the desk were very pleasant and accommodating. A Japanese restaurant down the street had people waiting outside and is supposed to be very good, although we didn't eat there. We did eat several times at Acapulco, a Mexican restaurant about a block away from the Super 8, and it was excellent; I highly recommend it. Conveniently nearby are a Target, a post office, and Walgreen's. I'm not sure why some people gave it a bad review, although their experience seemed to be different than ours. It's not a luxury hotel and doesn't claim to be, but we would certainly stay here again if we came back to Pasadena.

“It was decent for an inexpensive hotel.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

This was an inexpensive hotel in the Pasadena area. The surrounding area isn’t the best, but I felt safe enough. We had a flat panel TV in our room, but the color kept going out. The other guests were a little noisy. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. It was decent for an inexpensive hotel.

“Comfortable room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011

I like this Super 8 mainly because of the room quality. Great pool, coffee in room, good shower and comfortable bed. Not the cleanest place in the world, and not really the best location, but if you need a decent good night sleep this is the place.

Been propositioned by a hooker once, but other than that, people are decent and they have an ok free breakfast.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the first floor.

“Basic and Very Resonable - don't know why it got a bad rap.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

For what I paid which was reasonable, the room was fine. I came for the IMATS convention with three other friends, we did ask for more towels and more pillows and that wasn't a problem. The beds were not the softest, but for the price I was okay with that. It's not fancy, but it's clean. The bedding was clean, however, I always bring my own sheets, but that's just me, I do it at the more expensive hotels also. I don't know what folks are talking about re the area, it was fine, I felt safe there it wasn't a problem at all; it was a packed house both nights we were there and everyone was quiet enough, there was no rowdiness. I liked it for the price and am planning to return in June 2012 for next year's IMATS convention. After I booked my room I looked the reviews and was nervous, but once I got there I was like "are those reviewers talking about the same motel? I don't get it." Again, if you want fancy go somewhere else, but for good value, this is the place.

“like everyone here, worst motel ...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2011

terrible service, internet only works when you are outside - not in rooms, "breakfast" was toast and cereal, moldings were falling apart, the mosquito nets on the windows were not properly installed, manager was very rude - told us to leave due to us "complaining" so much - the complaining was that we asked to be in a different room as the first floor was very noisy, that the iron board was not installed properly, and if i could get a new shaver as mine was missing... never ever have i been told to leave.
