We traveled to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl Parade and most of the major chains were already sold out. We found this motel which was also located on Colorado Blvd but discovered it's not in the main area. It's in the next town over of Eagle Rock. That was more my fault for not consulting more maps but It wasn't... More

ok, how anyone in their right mind could rate this motel "excellent" is beyond me. Here are the basics. The room is a 10x10 box with about 2 feet on each side of the bed. Furnishings are very worn. Bathroom was clean but barely functional. Faucet stopped working twice in 3 days. Fixtures were in very poor condition. The Eagle... More

I stayed at the Rose Bowl Motel in Eagle Rock while my son was visiting Occidental College. It is a cute little place, neat as a pin, harkening back to the days of motor inns. It isn't exactly modern, but the bathroom shower was recently tiled. The 1 queen room was small, the bed was ok, but could use a... More

We went to L.A. for vacation and stayed 1 week in Rose Bowls. The staff was totally friendly and the rooms quite clean. However, sometimes we felt that the towels were not 100% clean. The breakfast was extremely small. We could get apple-, orange juice, as well as coffee, could choose between several small packages of kellogs cereals and some... More

They are trying to be a good hotel and it shows. They updated the rooms (they might only have 6-12 of them) . They cleaned up the outside. They don't allow undesirables to check-in even though the price is within their reach. However, it is still tainted with the low expectations or quality standards of its non-American owners. For example,... More

A 14 rooms no name motel really makes the big chains in the dust. The room is on the small side (10x15) but has everything you will need on your small vacation or 3 day trip. It's on a main thoroughfare, but could not hear the traffic when I close my door. Nice management. I think this motel hit it... More

My daughter and I stayed at the Rose Bowl Motel while she emptied out a storage locker and packed for a move to Portland. The place was clean and quiet. Our room was small so the staff even opened up the laundry room for her bike so we could have more space.

My partner and I had an unexpected overnight trip to Los Angeles and needed a relatively inexpensive place to stay close to Pasadena and downtown. This Eagle Rock motel provided the ideal location and fit our low budget. While the rooms are dated, they are clean and come with flat screen televisions and free internet access. The motel also serves... More

In 1965, when I moved out on my own, I rented a room at The Rose Bowl Motel. On a recent trip to L.A. (2012), I decided to stay at The Rose Bowl Motel again mostly for sentimental reasons. I stayed a week. The staff is very friendly, the room was clean, and although my room was fairly close to... More
