I'm renaming this to the NO Way Motel! Needed a last minute 1 night room in Pasadena so I booked through Hotwire...truly disappointed! I highly advise anyone to skip this motel. Check in was any time after 2 PM. Got to the Motel at 2:30 PM and there's a sign that read, "Back at 3 PM". That was frustrating as it was incredibly hot and I really needed to use the bathroom. So, we left to a restaurant and came back at 4 PM. There is a $20 CASH deposit required. Good thing I had cash ($23 exactly), but that would have been useful to know prior to checking in. Took a quick glance at the pool...nope, not doing it! Definitely would catch some flesh eating bacteria from that pool. The room...well, NO toilet paper. ***? Overall, pretty dingy and old with a paint job. Toilet was unstable so one hard lean to the right and I was scared to topple over with the toilet. At 6 AM it clogged up, wouldn't flush so we went to front desk and they said maintenance arrived at 8 AM. So, bathroom was just out of commission. The unexpected guests...tiny roaches scattered all over the sink when I turned on the bathroom light. Ugh!! My skin is crawling. The noise...so annoying!! The guests above us must have been performing a triathalon or something. It was a pattern of running, door slams, yelling...and repeat. I saw a Best Western a block away and I was tempted, but then I told myself it's just 1 night. I will survive. I am the type of guest that likes to lounge around until check out time but with this place I was ready to leave ASAP.
