This was a very decent motel. I stayed 2 nights. The room was a little beat up but pretty clean, the bed was better than I expected, and the air conditioner worked perfectly. I didn’t use the pool but it looked clean. The building was quiet and located in a nice area. There was some food and a convenience store in very short walking distance. Cell service wasn’t great but they have WiFi good enough for uninterrupted streaming.

Check in straight forward but not high energy. Rooms are clean and modern renovation. Lamp missing lampshade. Not enough charging plugs. Coffee in room is worse than Folgers. Basic room, very comfortable bed and room for barely two. Shower excellent, lots of pressure and heat as needed. There's a pool. Easy access to central Whittier.

There was a dirty towel in the bathroom. The bed covering didn't look very clean. One of the chairs in the room had torn upholstery. The room was large and had adequate storage space. It was close to restaurants and shopping. It was in a nicer area of Whittier. The bed was comfortable.

We had a pleasant stay at the Friendly Hills Inn. While this property is older it has been nicely updated and is attractive. Our room was clean and comfortable. There were a few minor scuffs on furniture but everything was sturdy. There was a small refrigerator and microwave in our room. Towels were clean and plentiful. Our bed was comfortable, sheets and bedding were clean. Plenty of hot water and it was quiet as the property doesn't face directly onto the street. The check-in experience was nice and all the staff were kind. We stayed for three nights and would return again!

We had a generously sized room with two queen beds, a table with 2 chairs, still leaving room to walk around, with plenty of storage room. Shower was also spacious. All decor and fixtures were updated and fresh. Room was very quiet, even when at full occupancy. Very comfortable beds, pillows and bedding. There were 4 pillows on each bed to start! No need to ask for extras! Perfect accommodations!

The room i had after was nice, clean and didnt smell like cigarette smoke. The furniture and color scheme of the room was very nice.

Lady at check in desk was extremely condescending and snarky. When confirming my reservation through Expedia she continually said “it’s a pay at property” when asking questions regarding the procedure for charging my card etc, she replied “it’s a pay at property, what don’t you understand about this?” Traveling is exhausting enough, to have a staff member welcome you with curt responses rather than a welcoming attitude just tarnished the whole experience at the property

Just an overnight stay, but I was impressed with the cleanliness and overall appearance of the room. It was comfortable and quiet...just what I needed. Unlike other inns/motels in the area, the Inn seemed relatively safe from some of the urban/suburban ills that are found in many parts of SoCal. Then Inn is situated on a stretch of Whittier Blvd. which is a business and resident friendly neighborhood. Highly recommended!

This family run establishment is well-kept and one of the few well-priced hotels in the greater Whittier area. Rooms are nicely remodeled and stocked with appropriate items. Hot water is abundant! Staff quickly addressed requests. Nice that the windows opened to get fresh air in the mornings. Noise much less than some hotels down in Buena Park and Friendly Hills Inn is 1/2 the cost. Nice sized fridge. Close to Whittier College and Biola University! Close to Big and Little Norm’s locations, yum!
