Motel 6 Pasadena, CA Old Town Pasadena Area

Easy parking

Swimming pool was closed. Water bug in my room. Checkin clerk was hard to understand. Parking at the door was good. Free coffee a plus. Charges on bill was hard to understand. Lobby was not open when l checked out early.

Parking was good. The beds weren't that comfortable. The staff was nice however not available after we checked in. We had 4 people in one room and only 2 bath towels. I went down to the office to see if I could get more and they didn't acknowledge me.

The beds were super uncomfortable we could feel the coils or whatever is inside. Didn’t make for a good sleep at all we slept terrible. After I had gotten out of the shower and gotten dressed I stepped into the shower to grab my toiletries only to leave behind black foot prints. The elevator is scary. The staff however were all very very nice.

We loved our stay at this Motel 6! Our room was very spacious, with a nice easy chair and desk along with two very comfy beds plus a fridge and microwave! There was extra space on the bathroom counter and a great bathroom area as well. It was perfect for us… very clean and comfortable, with plenty of parking right by our room! We definitely will come back again and again! Thank you for a wonderful stay, Motel 6!

Great beds and bathrooms. Pool was kept up well (I didn't try it out). Rooms were very quiet considering location and multiple brush fire refugees with pets. I thoroughly enjoyed the luxurious waterfall showerhead. Plenty of hot water. Areas for improvement: Soda vending machine did not work. Better towels please. Guest laundry facilities are not secure, only two sets of washers/dryers for the entire complex, and they are quite old. In my room 309 only one electric outlet worked, my room phone and USB ports were nonfunctional, which meant that I couldn't use my cpap machine and charge my phone at same time. No fabric softener or bleach for purchase in laundry. The sole detergent vending machine was old, not well stocked and for whatever reason did not dispense product. There was no way to prove that I put $ in, so no basis for getting refund. Digital laundry system that takes ATM cards similar to what truck stops have would fix this! I ended up taking my dirty laundry home to do. Need menus in rooms for restaurants, stores or food sources within walking distance, or those who work with delivery services. No coffee in room. I grew up in Glendale, know the area well, and even I had to work at finding food, and this motel is on Colorado Blvd, the main drag in Pasadena. Please add a dog run, even a small one, since there were many guests with pets. Property renovation is very nice so far, just please continue the good work and continue with upgrades and fixes.

Parking Lot gets crowded/Full every night to the point there’s no parking spaces or your car gets blocked in with other vehicles.

El elevador estaba sucio y olía muy mal, la habitación estaba muy limpia

This Motel has pool, on expedia site doesnt talk about any pool Is the best option quality/price you will get near of universal studios

Great for pets

This place has roaches . ROACHES, CUCARACHAS.

Horrible experience only stayed enough time to get enough sleep to drive home. The ac didn't work properly it leaked water from the ac all the way to the bed. AC made a noise all night long. dead bugs squished on the walls of the room and restroom. Refrigerator did not work. Bed bugs i got bitten in a few places.

This is about what you’d expect for a Motel 6. The staff was friendly but the room was visibly not clean. It was very loud from outside noise and the smoke alarm was beeping frequently.

Easy to get to property, large parking area. Many green areas for my dog to go bathroom. One negative issue was the bathroom, it has black mold on the walls. Ans ceiling so we were too scare to use it.

This place is a health hazard. Mold in the bathroom, fleas in the beds. It’s too bad because it’s in a really nice location. It’s like nobody has ever once cleaned the ceiling in the bathroom. Really great location and would be a nice place if they would do a deep clean.

Terrible room. Roaches. Left in the middle of the night. Couldn’t deal.

The hotel looks nice and is clean. However we saw a lot of cockroaches outside in the walkways and parking areas. The receptionist when we checked in was very nice and he came over and sprayed the cockroaches and killed some of them for us, however, in the morning when I asked the receptionist to spray our door with the bug spray to keep the roaches out she made a lot excuses and was not interested in helping us with it. They also had some pretty crazy limits with towels. We had wanted to swim in the pool and went to the front desk for extra towels, but they told us we would need to trade in our towels, limited us to four total towels for four people staying in the room for both showers and the pool. I explained to them that we’d like to have a towel to take up to the room to dry off with and then a dry clean towel for showers and they told us that was too many towels. It was pretty strange. I’ve never seen anywhere that wouldn’t at least give us two towels per person. I would not return.

I left the hotel only one night and they said will refund the other night because I found bedbugs in the bed

Clean, comfortable. Shower is nicer than most Motel 6's I have stayed at in other cities. This is actually the nicest room I have ever had at a Motel 6. More spacious by far. And there are actual decorations up on the wall.

There were no towels in our room upon check in and no maid service during the two nights stay. The sink had a drainage issue, which resulted in a musty stale smell in the room. Staff at the desk were very friendly and responsive.

For a motel 6 my expectations were really low but it served us well. The bed was comfortable (pillows maybe worn down but mattress was good). The room was spacious and everything worked.

The room had roaches, the internet kept kicking me out and I had to log back in, and I mentioned this to front desk while checking out, after NOT complaining, and all he said was OK. What the.....not even a sorry or I will take care of it. What are companies teaching their employees these days. This NO APLOGY tiktok strategy is beyond ridiculous!

Overall it was good except the pillows were rather flat and we only had one bath towel for 3 people. Also, the rooms are noisy. The people directly above us got back to their room well after midnight and their walking was really loud. I’ve never been able to hear guests above me like that at any motel/hotel. All this said, I'd still stay there again.

One night stay. Room was ok. Clean. The shower did not work. Front desk came and checked and confirmed it did not. We didn’t find this out until morning when getting ready so … there was no point in changing rooms. But we weren’t offered it either.

Well...it's not actually in Old Town Pasadena. The room needs updating. The bed was not great. Pillows were flat and the towels have seen better days. Motel 6 please do better!

I have to say this was one of the worst rooms we’ve ever stayed in. Something clearly traumatic happened on the threshold of our room. There were obvious bleach marks on the ground, covered by fresh paint, and the room door had clearly been broken into previously. They just repaired it rather than replacing it. Once we got inside, there was a musty smell and a constant wind tunnel sound that we couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. The WiFi was AWFUL. First, the network wouldn’t appear unless we went outside the room, then it connected briefly before losing internet in the room. We had to use our hotspots the whole stay. There was a bug in the shower, the floors were dirty and the bed was hard as a rock. There was no Do Not Disturb sign available and someone clearly entered our room while we were gone. Oh, and the free continental breakfast that was advertised was not true. No point in mentioning anything to the staff, they weren’t very welcoming and didn’t appear to care. The shabu shabu place next door was really good though.

We have stayed at this property several times and this was the worst ever. I understand that due to the fires in the area that the hotel would be busy but this was on a whole different level. More people in some rooms than I am sure are allowed. The noise not only from the neighbors but from the people upstairs. The upstairs room had people stomping, jumping and moving furniture until 130am! We went the first time to the front desk to see if we could move and were told it would cost us extra because cleaning left for the day. It was white and then around 1130 was woken up by what sounded like jumping, called the front desk but nothing happened. This constant stomping when on until 130. When I callled the front desk again they said that they were told by the guest in the room that they have been asleep for hours and not sure what they are talking about. This is when the noise finally stopped so got a little bit of sleep. We will not be staying here again

Overall: Much better than I was expecting for a Motel 6, but not great. Mostly Good: Clean, smallish rooms (not tiny though), very attentive room service everyday, clean vinyl plank flooring, comfortable bed, fairly quiet (minor freeway noise overnight, not enough to bother me, and I’m a very light sleeper). Older building but rooms appear to have been renovated within last five years or so. The room has very basic features: noisy wall mounted HVAC w/ rudimentary controls; fridge and micro but no countertop area, sink (other than bathroom), plates, utensils, etc; non-smart TV, so no access to Netflix, etc. Everything worked though, bathroom very clean, overhead showerhead a bit funky and about half the spouts were clogged or not working. Biggest Con: Wifi quirky and unreliable. System disconnects your device from the wifi after one hour, every hour, and you have to try to reconnect, which frequently took numerous tries or didn’t work. Multiply this by phone, tablet, and laptop, and I had to go through this clunky process about 15 times a day. This problem was exacerbated by lack of a smart TV, which means you have to use laptop to watch Netflix/Amazon Prime etc., but you are interrupted every hour to reconnect to wifi. The place is advertised as Old Town Pasadena, which is deliberately deceiving as it is nowhere near the desirable Old Town section of Pasadena and is instead several miles away in a somewhat run down, area of town. Homeless folks were harmless though.

Great staff and great stay.

Parking was good. The beds weren't that comfortable. The staff was nice however not available after we checked in. We had 4 people in one room and only 2 bath towels. I went down to the office to see if I could get more and they didn't acknowledge me.

I had reserved and paid for 2 rooms upon checking in we were told Expedia had cancelled one of the rooms. I quickly called Expedia and upon further investigation turns out that motel 6 over booked themselves and decided to cancel 1 of my rooms without notifying me. Horrible customer service at the front desk: They were neither helpful or apologetic just tried to blame Expedia for their mistake. Would never return or recommend.

First room assigned had a broken TV. But what was more troublesome was lack of helpfulness at the desk. Staff member mumbled EVERYTHING even when asked to repeat. He gave no effort to extend a welcome or be of help. He was put off when I came back to say that TV didn't work. Also would or could not accommodate a request for 1st floor room due to health issues. Not even offering a 2nd story room. No, we were given a 3 floor room with all stairs to get there. Room was clean. But service was worst I have experienced in a long while.

Front desk was not very friendly at check in. I have a chronic illness and was sick on stay and asked for a few more towels. They yelled that I “ruined” a towel. Mind you these towels are paper thin and I’m sure they bleach them anyways. They called me and yelled at me to not ruin anymore towels. I’m legally blind and asked if we could get a lower level at check in… they told us they have an elevator… the bathroom door does not have any lock just barn door like.

Staff excellent

Was very comfortable. Housekeeping staff were great. The desk at check in was great. The young man that was there in the morning was a bit rude and not very helpful. He should also learn to groom if he is going to work the front desk. One of the nicest Motel 6 we have stayed at

staff unhelpful

They told me and 2 others after me that none of us had a reservation and sent us away. One of the others had already paid before coming.

Front desk is nice and friendly, free coffee and tea in the lobby.

A few shady characters lurking around the parking lot... Otherwise, excellent staff, amenities, cleanliness and service.

The hotel was OK/no frills for a short stay, and convenient enough to the Rose Bowl, on a 15 min drive/Uber. There's Sierra Madre Station (A Line) some 18 minutes walking.

Nice budget hotel close to downtown area.

Affordable. Easy parking. Easy walk to food and convenience stores. Spacious room - super clean. Hidden gem. We're in Pasadena once a year and this will be our new go-to.

Well...it's not actually in Old Town Pasadena. The room needs updating. The bed was not great. Pillows were flat and the towels have seen better days. Motel 6 please do better!

Lesson learned, this motel needs to improve. It seems like they are working on but not enough. We have stayed in several Motel 6, so far so good, but this one.... Old A/C units are not providing comfort at all to sleep or get some rest. Common areas also need to improve, seems like homeless people are using some places to stay overnight. Vending's and Elevator area smell like.... I don't thing we will be back to this facility.

良い点。 治安が良いという点はおすすめです。 モーテル系の中では、ハイクオリティ。 清潔さも日本人として気にならないレベル。 駐車場が無料なのでレンタカー使う方にはおすすめ。 注意点。 まず、チェックイン。 アプリや、受けとりメールでは15時〜だったらいつでもチェックイン可能と書いていたが、念のため電話して深夜以降のチェックインになるけどいいですか？と聞いたらyesと言われたので、深夜チェックインしたら、出来ないと言われた。当方英語ができるので、 13泊予約しましたが、押さえられた部屋が障害者様用の部屋だった。

East Colorado Blvd is a classic place to stay, if you like a combination of gentrification and grit.

My friend and I stayed here for a concert at the Rose Bowl and it was the perfect location. It was about 15 minutes from the venue. It was around a lot of restaurants and about 15 minutes from bars and clubs. The room itself was better than what i expected. It had a pretty big bathroom and a nice vanity mirror. Definitely remodeled and it had a mini fridge which was perfect for our drinks. I didn't feel unsafe but we did come across some homeless people lingering around the parking lot. The room did have a smell to it but it was nothing crazy. I think it exceeded my expectations and would def stay here again.

Easy to go to Old Pasadena with public transportation. Plenty of parking space. The room was clean. Stayed for a week without any concerns.

I asked to store my bags at check in and was told "we don't really do that" (which I could not believe) but then said he would. He put them just behind the counter. No claim ticket but he didn't get my name or res number etc. and said he'd move my bags to a safe area. When I came back hours later there was a different guy and my bags hadn't moved. Anyone could have come by and said "can I get my bags" and taken them. He must have been new so that is ok but someone should have told him that. Very scarce toiletries: two small soaps, toilet paper, Kleenex. Safe was locked and I couldnt be bothered to call the desk, fridge was off and warm. Bed was comfy but pillows not comfy. Clock radio had a frayed wire and made a crackling sound so I had to unplug it. Bathroom however was very nice. Looked like it was redone recently. The guy at check out was very nice and had no problems taking me to the storage locker where my bags should have been kept on my check in day. Pool area was accessible by anyone as no cardkey needes to get in which is not great. Weather was too cold for me to test pool out but it looked nice. Wish there was a hot tub though. For a decent price in a safe location it's a good choice but it's a budget hotel so don't expect perfection. There is a gas station, 7-11 and 24 hour Denny's nearby. About a 15 minute walk to lots of non-chain restaurants and take-out places, a Von's grocery store, coffee shops (check out Rosebud's) and a real bitchen store called MeowMeowz!

Arrivé en milieu d'après-midi, la piscine nous accueillait. Très bien. Par contre, à l'ouverture de la chambre une blatte nous attendait... Literie confortable, douche correcte. Au réveil nous avons toutefois été très déçu du petit-déjeuner. Uniquement du café et des jus, pas de thé chaud, pas de toast, ni de grille-pain. Juste yaourt et céréales. Vraiment trop maigre...

Swimming pool was closed. Water bug in my room. Checkin clerk was hard to understand. Parking at the door was good. Free coffee a plus. Charges on bill was hard to understand. Lobby was not open when l checked out early.

The breakfast had been discontinued

Just very basic - the hotel did not even provide shampoo, conditioner or lotion. No breakfast.

Elegí este hotel pues aceptaba mascotas según la apps de hotel.com , llegando allá me dicen que no aceptan más Lou tuve que pagar 80 dólares por mi perrito de ser y emcional, además el desayuno horrible solo un café con una galleta pequeña, la tasa del baño está suelta, hotel poco o nada recomendable, el asunto es que nadie se hace cargo de esto hasta el día de hoy, hotel.com no se ha hecho cargo y no hay donde comunicarse con ellos

THERE IS NO BREAKFAST at this Hotel. One main reason we booked here and to find out there is no breakfast. TV didn’t work. The room was very clean and location wasn’t too noisy. Would not stay here again.

Was easy to get to and probably the nicest motel 6 I’ve stayed at in decades. Had my reservations from my last experience but it had great reviews and now I know why. What I didn’t know about was that there was coffee in the lobby till 10 a.m. I would’ve grabbed a cup had I known. Why not keep it available till check out?

Bon séjour, hôtel très propre et chambres confortables. Excentré de los angeles, mais bon rapport qualité prix. Point négatif, petit déjeuner annoncé qui n existe pas où peu (café horrible, barre de céréales et machine à Jus de fruits) les hôtels affichant un petit déjeuner proposent réellement un choix de pain, beurre, confitures et autres... La qualité de la connexion wifi est médiocre

Front desk is nice and friendly, free coffee and tea in the lobby.
