In these days of virtually indistinguishable motels/hotels, Saga Motor Hotel stood out for us. We stayed there one night, didn't get to use the pool as the weather was a little cool, but enjoyed the ambience. Small place; there might be some longer-term tenants as well at units in the back. Very well taken care of, clearly owners care a... More

We've stayed at this motor hotel many times because we have a relative who lives nearby in a very small house. Saga is a great choice for us. No, it's not fancy motel but it has all the basics and it's very reasonable and is well-managed. The staff is friendly but business-like and efficient. Lighting at night is good. Coffee... More

We booked this hotel through hotwire, and did not know what we were getting. Even after we found out the name and read the reviews were were not sure what were getting into. This boutique hotel definitely surprised us as it turned out much better than we expected. The check in process was smooth and the attendant very helpful. The... More

My boyfriend and I booked our room through Hotwire for $66 (includes taxes and fees). The Saga Motor Hotel is a small, older hotel. It's located on Colorado Blvd. (the historic Route 66) where the Rose Parade passes through...a small historic tidbit that I found super cool! This establishment is located in a safe neighborhood with nearby restaurants and stores.... More

I like the fact that it's not a chain and the friendly atmosphere is there for sure. The room we had (202) was big and quiet, there was a fridge and I liked there was no curtain but wooden blinds. There's a pool and free breakfast. We had 2 women at the reception and they were really nice. So why... More

An older hotel on the outskirts of Pasadena and certainly not fancy, but that said, it represents fantastic value for money. Staff are welcoming and helpful. The room was large and well kept, with old fashioned furniture and decor - it had aircon, TV, free wifi and a large fridge, but no tea/coffee making facilities. On our last night our... More

Better than your average motel. The pool courtyard was nice with lovely trees perfect for an alfresco breakfast or snack. Room was average but clean. More

The hotel is a little older, but nothing wrong with it at all. Free parking, pool, free laundry, and free wifi. Near a bunch of places to eat, however didn't find many good bars around. Room was avg size and the price was right. More

I stayed in this motel for one night and found it quite satisfactory. The check-in process was quick, and the office attendant was friendly. The room was clean, and the decor in the room was actually quite charming. There was even a small library of books alongside the television. Some of the fixtures looked ancient, like the bathroom vent and... More
