Staff was friendly and the cleaning crew was visibly attentive (they were scrubbing the stairs during our visit). Beds were comfy and our room (3rd floor, back side) was quiet - there were units close to Colorado St. - I'd avoid those due to street noise. Nice toiletries. We stayed in a family suite which had a fridge, microwave and... more

I stayed here for the Pasadena Marathon (the one canceled in Nov) and in March when the marathon was held. We had the best service, the morning staff took the time to put breakfast out two hours early for the runners. The check in was smooth. The housekeeping staff was great, when I got back from the rainy marathon she... more

The staff here is excellent! The person who booked my room and those I dealt with were friendly and helpful. I decided to ride the Gold Line to downtown L.A., and was told exactly how to get to the Allen station (though it was 2 blocks further than the staff told me). It's a great trip and a great convenience... more

This motel was built in 1957 and hasn't been updated much since. Our room was outdated and we could hear our neighbors moving around upstairs. The continental breakfast was just fine (mini-bagels, pastries, cereal) and they had wireless internet. Nonetheless, it's charming, clean, and if you get a top (third) floor room facing the back, it is quiet. Many buses... more

What we wanted was a nice, quite, clean place near the Huntington and that's what we got. True, the staff is not the friendliest. As a matter of fact the woman I booked with was very terse. The young man that checked us in didn't wow us with charm but he was fine. The woman that checked us out was... more

I found this motel in a travel book and looked at the reviews on Tripadvisor which seemed to be positive. I went online and the room for a king was $92.00. I ended up calling the hotel directlly to ask if the Huntington Botanical Gardens and the Metro were in walking distance of the motel. The answer was that they... more

We're from Europe and we have visited LA staying at Saga Motor Hotel for three nights. The room was spacious and clean and the price was right (100€ per nights, in a queen room, august). The staff was nice: I had a problem in understanding the faucets (don't laugh, in Europe is diffrent) and they sent me a man to... more

I stayed here on a business trip and later learned I could've stayed at the better alternative (Westin) but it was too late. Anyhow, if you are looking to save $, then this is ok...otherwise: -booked non-smoking room but they gave me a smoking one. But they quickly changed it to non-smoking. -room had a nice little business nook and... more

After reading all the mostly "above average" and "excellent" reviews on TripAdvisor, I decided to check in to the Saga and am getting ready to check out for the week. (I'm working on site at a client location just seven minutes from here. The Saga has spared me the three-hour daily round trip even from my mom's place in West... more
