Rose Bowl Motel

Safe, clean and easy parking. A overall positive review.

I cant really complain with cleanliness but the rudeness of the woman and judgement was very unsettling. When your asking for help because TV is not working and the first thing that is said is "you have too much stuff in room's was very upsetting as I had donations dropped off for victims of the fire that recently happened and I felt it was an insult to my intelligence because the internet or cables of a TV is not impacted by what's on the ground and it was lined up neatly as well l I've stayed in many motels to know that that answer was bogus and very insulting to me and it felt as though they judged me . The gentleman later in conversation stated that everyone's having that problem because of the winds. I'm sorry but people that are going through a rough time as they are experiencing homelessness and impacted by an evacuation from A near-death experience don't need to hear these type of comments in a moment such as this.

They were very nice and accommodating, the place was clean and had several security cameras which made us feel safe

Nice and neat for a short stay very quiet and calm

Awesome staff and very convenient

Lover so much fun times

Wonderful staff. Easy parking. Quiet, and good WiFi. Reasonable. Although the place is old and outdated, they do a very good job keeping it clean. This was my 2nd stay here.

Very old

Cute little place to stay; older but full of charm. Nice place to sleep after a fun-filled Dodgers game. We will be back.

Nice Classic but not fancy

Overall the stay was just average. The window in the bathroom was broken, it was very noisy from street noise and people coming and going. The walls were dirty, the floor was dirty. The bed seemed cleaned, there were no bedbugs or coackroaches. Wasn’t too far from universal. Wouldn’t stay again though.

Room was nice staff was helpful, close to a lot of places to eat and check out

This was a quaint little hotel, small and clean. They actually gave a key to the room, something that I have not used in years.

The family running the place were friendly and fantastic.

Awesome stay.! Will stay again.

This is a serviceable property. Nothing special but it'll do for a short stay. The pros are the location is on a vibrant street, walking distance to a Trader Joe's, great restaurants and an amazing doughnut shop. You're only 5-8 minutes from Old Town Pasadena and the Rose Bowl.The price really can't be beat for the location. Microwave and fridge in the rooms are a nice touch. The cons are the amount of corners that they cut in rooms. While the rooms and linens are clean, the room is showing it's wear and tear with the windows and doors. Screens, paint and windows need attention and the doors in the room stuck badly when opening/closing. The bathroom is where they really cut corners. The towels are too small for an adult and of the coarsest material. The toiletries are a small pouch of shampoo and a small brick of soap that doesn't lather at all. The real problem however, is the shower. No water pressure at all which combined with the other issues really made that part of the stay very unpleasant for both of us. The service could be improved as well as the person welcoming us/checking us in behind a glass window really wasn't that friendly or personable. As stated, the property is serviceable and affordable but don't get your hopes up for much else.

Nice and easy to get around and did what it needed to do 🙂. Nice area 😄.

We chose this hotel due to location and proximity to Universal Studios. The room was clean and comfortable.

We loved this little place! We needed a place to stay after going to an event at the Hollywood Bowl and this was perfect and very affordable. Everything was clean and well-maintained and the people at check-in were very friendly.

I am not a hotel snob and I really try to see the good in places, but this one, even at the price, will not be seeing us again.
