Hotels Near Chinese Evangelical Free Church in Monterey Park

We spent 7 nights here. Located in a country club setting. One side overlooks golf course. Golf course is closed. Pond view (not lake view…only complaint I have) was not desirable as Golf course is going through face lift. Once done it would be awesome. Even without the face lift, we had great views over looking down town sky line from a distance and golf course greenery down below. We got 8th floor which made it so much better. I’d suspect that that lower floors ( all front facing) would still be good. Staff, every one we interacted with, was brilliant. They sure understand hospitality! Facility is pretty new. Lobby is well appointed. Breakfast area can get busy. Waffle station for made it order waffles was a nice touch. Staff was ready to help. We wanted meatless egg and they were willing and able to accommodate. Swimming pool. Fire place sitting areas. Laundry (didn’t use but is supposedly dirt cheap). Gated community like entrance. Parking was full every evening. They have rights for street parking. Just off the freeway. We found this location very convenient. 25-30 minutes from LAX, Disney Land, Down town, Beverly Hills/ Hollywood etc. We opted for larger deluxe room which was so well worth it. We had issues with the pullout sofa. Quick call and prompt response. Issue fixed with a pleasant smile. Like most places you tell them at check in how often you want the room service. Elevators were spacious. Three of them so wait time was minimal. Wi-Fi was pretty good. Beds were comfortable. Great experience!

With the heat wave that So. Cal. was experiencing, we did a staycation for the Labor Day weekend. First they switched our room so we had no view of the pool, that was the first in a long list of issues. The front desk was about as useless as they come. Not one of the people we spoke to was in anyway helpful, they continued with no answers with every question. The pool was not secure and a child could just walk right in and a trajedy would ensue. Kids were walking through the lobby soaking wet leaving water everywhere and the girl at the front desk didn't even flinch, ny wife and were tempted to say something to these kids because the staff certainly wasn't. Then when we wanted to use the pool one morning the girl at the front desk had no idea when it would be ready while it was being cleaned and didn't even know how to find out where the pool cleaner guy was to ask him. Although the rooms were nice and modern they hardly looked clean. In fact, they looked dingy and damp liked they hadn't been cleaned in a while. When I asked about where to recycle the front desk again had no idea or even seemed to care that I wanted to recycle. Then there's the RAT TRAP that was in our room that my 2 year old picked up and tried to play with. UGGGGHHHHHH!!! Finally, the guests at the hotel looked like they weren't even guests there. I think they just stopped there to use the pool and they were loud and disruptive and again, not a peep from the staff. Our stay was a nightware, if I could give zero stars I would. STAY AWAY from this hotel and go somewhere else. Please !!!

The hotel is very old and has seen better days. The location of the hotel is ok. There is a 99 supermarket opposite, and there are many Chinese-owned restaurants next to it. Things in supermarkets are very cheap, much cheaper than in China. Parking costs $10 per night, which is not expensive. The hotel is in the Chinese district, and it is said that there are many Chinese people. The room hygiene is okay. The front desk service is very good, but the English is so poor that the front desk cannot communicate.

Very clean hotel with very spacious lobby and rooms. Great reception with kindness. Parking was convenient with a fee. Many restaurants around the area.

Location of the hotel is ok, opposite the gas station, lots of parking spaces, far from the center, windows cannot be opened, very noisy, clean, refrigerator/microwave/coffee machine/iron

So I have pros and cons for this location. We stayed there Saturday through Monday. Here we go Pro: Great location close to freeways, lots of great food and things to do. Pro: Classic older building with a fantastic staff. Super friendly team. Con: The room was just plain hot. There is a guideline on the hotel controlling the air and how cool it is. (We like a cool room) picture attached and it always blew regular air and it was not conditioned and never cold. We asked for a fan and it was on its last legs and barely blew any air. We asked for help and we’re told it was a hotel policy and uncontrollable Con: perk of Embassy Suites is the reception. Bowl with bag of chips and peanuts and only one drink ticket per person. What? This is not what we expect from Embassy Suites. Con: $12 a day for parking is unnecessary and just a gouge. We have certain expectations as a diamond member and this is just not good. Your rating is for your awesome staff and location and environment.

Location was great but a few things to keep in mind before you complete your booking: -Room service requires scheduling in advanced -the water faucet by the sink has an unreasonable and useless design that doesn’t allow you to splash wash your face comfortably/without hitting your forehead -the water pressure in all rooms is very low (we have raised our concern and tried to swap room and then we found out they wer pretty much the same); if you have long and thick hair be prepared for 45 mins of rinsing -valet parking only but parking fee was reasonable comparing to other hotels at same grade; please be generous and prepare tips for folks that are working 24/7 they’re super friendly

Basic amenities are what you’ll get and what you should expect; don’t think you’ll get anymore than that. We literally saw an arrest happen right outside our windows one morning.
