“Good thing the location was excellent”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

Was attending a football game at the Rose Bowl and needed a place for two nights. On previous trips, I have stayed at less expensive motels in town. While the location is excellent, I did not think I got much extra for the higher tariff. One of the beds was way too firm, and the continental breakfast was disappointing. I quite frankly have no clue why the place is rated 2 out of 28, and while I would stay there again, I would only do so if the cheaper options that I've used in the past were unavailable.

“Its not too bad but don't expect to swim in the pool.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

Very friendly front desk persons and nice clean area for breakfast. Room was also clean, but so dark and needed updating. Also very quiet. My big disappointment was the swimming pool which is one reason I chose the hotel. We were there for a week and absolutely no-one used the pool or "spa" or hot tub or whatever is was supposed to be. The "pool" is about 7ft. or 8ft. square - not enough to do one swimming stroke, but too deep for young children. It was freezing every day as it is always in the shade and is protected by a very high wall separating Howard Johnson from Jiffy Lube on the other side of the pool. Even the spa was freezing. Never saw anyone using either while we there. Only 2 chaise lounges at pool and one is broken - but just sitting there you get the fumes from the next door Jiffy Lube. I got what I paid for, but if you are just looking for something clean, then this is a good place. The ad that I saw advertised a pool and I don't consider this to be a pool. I would prefer to pay more for a decent pool.

“Great Deal for the Money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

I've stayed at a number of similarly priced hotels and this is by far the nicest. I travel almost every week for business and this is a great hotel for the money. I found it to be clean and quite with a nice complimentary breakfast, free wifi and helpful friendly staff. I will certainly stay here again.
