Hotel berhampiran Glendora Mountain Road, Los Angeles

This is a very good motel (not hotel), in a good location with free off-street parking, striking distance to not only downtown Pasadena, but also Burbank, Hollywood, Silver Lake, etc. I was there for 4 nights and the area felt very safe. All the staff was friendly. Other Pros: Clean, decent sized room, with large screen TV and blackout curtains Fairly quiet (except for some of the more bone-headed guests that clomp past your room heavy footed or think they are the only ones there, even early in the AM - but that is not the property's fault) Surprisingly - perhaps shockingly so - comfortable bed, pillows and bedding. Really! Easy check in, Christine was fabulous. Good location with a lot of nearby restaurants, etc Good value for the money. Cons: Internet issues. To be fair, they were resolved on the second day after three calls to their tech support - all of whom were very nice. Shower pressure a little low. Breakfast is a bit very skimpy and, what is really a con, it is served in what seems like a converted motel room. The room is way too small and uncomfortable for the amount of guests they are attempting to accommodate, particularly in the times in which we live. This needs a serious re-think. That said, the pros outweigh the cons by a lot and I would definitely stay there again

Wir waren 4 Tage hier und haben den Aufenthalt genossen. Es gibt kostenlose Parkplätze, es ist sauber und der Service war sehr gut. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es für die hellhörigkeit (Man hört die Straße etwas und wenn draußen oder oben jemand löuft klingt es wie wenn er gleich im zimmer steht)

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful with suggestions for dinner. The parking lot was full, but the property was quiet and clean. I will definitely stay here every time I’m in the area.

Great Hotel ! The king size bed room suit is beautiful supper clean and the bed itself is super duper comfy! Only down fall is the parking ( they don’t have a self parking lot) unless you want to pay valet parking which is $40 each car not including tax each day you stay. 😩but other than that it’s nice. Would definitely return

We found a bed bug in our room and with the hotel sold out had to stay in the room for the night, trying to get some sleep on the floor/chair but were unsuccessful. Visiting for a convention and had very long days with limited rest and the sleepless night made a huge dent in our weekend. We were moved in the morning but requests to at least get the night refunded were ignored. Staff were seen spraying the hallway before we left that day and deep cleaning the room after we were moved so they took the bed bug risk seriously but did not think it warranted any discount, unfortunately. I once worked in the industry and fully understand the cleanliest of hotels can get bed bugs from guests, and that options were limited with no housekeeping at night and hotel sold out, but was very disappointed that our request for a discount was ignored. Otherwise if not for that serious issue, it was not the most glamorous neighborhood but a short ride share away from the concert and convention venues were were attending and worked out for our needs in that regard. Housekeeping staff was friendly when we did move rooms in the morning.

Nice!!

DO NOT STAY HERE! The biggest problem with this motel is the parking. There are a limited number of parking spots for guests of the motel. The staff failed to mention that it is PUBLIC parking not private parking for The Royal Pagoda Motel guest. Meaning anyone can park there, when ever they want, as long as they want. When booking a room I brought up the concern of the limited parking. The motel employee I spoke to said there is more parking on the side. I thought they meant on the side of the motel, another parking lot or garage. NOPE! He meant against the side of the main building of the motel with the very small parking lot. Nearby Chinatown has a very active night life so forget about parking in the street. If you leave for the evening and return later that night here is what they do when there is absolutely no legal parking. They will have you park against the side of the building or have you double park or triple park. Basically they will fill up the driveway of the parking lot blocking other cars in. A motel employee will ask for your room number and phone number. They will call you to move your car if you are blocking someone who needs to get their car out. Yes even at 2 a.m. when you are asleep. Myself and a few other guests of the motel had to move our cars for a non-guest of the motel. I asked the employee who called me to move my car how this person got an actual spot and he said he had no idea. While moving our cars the employee was trying to direct the non-guest out of the parking lot I witnessed a hit and run. The non-guest backed into a parked car in the motel parking lot. That driver and the motel employee acted like nothing had happened. At this point there was finally street parking. I felt my car would be safer parked out on the street a block away from the motel. And the other motel guests who had to move their cars were fighting for whatever space was available in the motel parking lot. Another thing is that the rooms are very small and this motel is old. Several electrical outlets in my room did not work. I could not plug in my phone or laptop chargers. Plus the parties in the Chinatown may end at a certain time but that doesn’t stop people from coming into the motel to keep the party going.

Stayed here for 7 nights while visiting Los Angeles. Booked the location mainly for proximity to Dodger Stadium (walking distance) but found it very handy for our other sightseeing excursions, and very reasonably priced given that it's basically in downtown LA. Hotel was quiet, clean and well-maintained. No problem parking underground every night ($18/day, which is not unexpected and seems quite reasonable for any big city, not just LA). Breakfast was well done - lots of options (waffles, pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausages, baked goods, cereal, etc.). Staff was all very friendly and helpful. We did need to ask for an additional pillow (there were only 3 on the king bed) but the person at the front desk was very accommodating. Overall, this was a great, affordable, and convenient option and would definitely stay here again.

this hotel is quite retro looking like something about of 1970s. LatinX housekeeping and other staff are super friendly. Main advantage is very short walk to Union train station.
