Hotels near Progress Brewing in South El Monte

This placed is very out dated. The room had holes in the walls, peeling wall paper everywhere. Even the picture on the wall has a hole in it. Light fixtures in bathroom where dirty and the plastic was turning brown instead of clear, because it’s so old. The pillows were 14 x14 inches long, and flat. You can hear all the noise from the street below, because the sliding doors don’t seal up properly.

aside from the rude employees its nice

Could easily be zero stars. Original room was 93 degrees upon check in, the air conditioning unit was poor by anyone's standard, we asked to switch rooms. They did not offer to come get our bags, or move us to a new room so we brought our luggage back down to the front desk. We were then given a second room. Again, no offer made to accompany us and see if the new room was up to standards. This room was 92 degrees upon entry. After a second phone call, they sent up staff to change the filters on the AC unit. That team told us the AC was functioning well and blowing cold air (it was blowing cold air as if you had a few ice cubes in your mouth and blew on my neck) and to use the blackout curtains (after a sort of condescending explanation of what blackout curtains do) and give it some time for the AC to work. We went out to dinner for about two hours and came back to a nice cool 87 degree room. We once again took our belongings back downstairs. We were then told by the front desk staff that since we booked a room with a king size bed all of those rooms faced the sun and would all have similar problems (why would that be an acceptable answer?) and they could do nothing more for us since they accommodated us once already. I had no idea their idea of accommodating someone was to put them in a room with the same problem that the previous room had but what do I know, I am not in the hospitality industry. We were then told that the hotel was completely booked so no further ”accommodations” could be made. We asked for a refund and this is the first time they reacted with some conviction, they were happy to let us leave. Must be nice to be able to turn away business. At no time were there any apologies, any remorse, just matter-of-factly let us leave. My wife and I don't argue or yell, we never feel its worth it, but we left angry and hotel-less on a Saturday night in Los Angeles. We scrambled to find a new hotel but the damage was done, they took our entire Saturday away from us, which no refund could ever compensate for, they temporarily took our joy to be in town on our own as we are parents and do not get much time away. We did take our business elsewhere, to a Hilton, they seem to understand that to relax you need a room that is slightly cooler than a sauna. We were able to salvage the remaining days of our trip. Also the elevators at the Freehand are old (charming?) and constantly in use because of the rooftop bar so it took us waiting for a few packed elevators to get up and down to the hot AF rooms which probably added to our level of frustration. But it was mostly the Sahara like environment of the hot room. Did I mention the rooms were hot? Also maybe use a free hand to open a book on what hospitality looks like, I think your staff may be surprised. (see what I did there?)

It's a pretty good hotel in the Chinese district, and it feels good value for money. The hotel has a lobby, free parking lot, and Chinese service. Overall, it is good. I recommend that you choose it first when traveling here.

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

Hotel location is general, in areas with more Mexicans, do not dare to go out at night, the interior of the hotel is good! The brother at the front desk is also estimated to be Mexican, and the service is very good! !! !! The service of a big fat man the next day was not good, because he ordered the second day again, and started to give me the first floor. I asked him to check if there is a high-rise, he said no, I said yesterday I lived on the 6th floor, he Check it and tell me that there is an empty room on the 4th floor! Really drunk! But very satisfied on the first day!

Amazing experience! We asked if we could check in early just out of sheer curiosity and they were very accommodating. They didn’t have a room at first but then had a room available shortly after. Overall staff were very nice and the room was very clean. The room was also very spacious! We stayed on the fifth floor and it had a large lobby to sit, study, and/or talk with friends: The hotel is in a small Asian/chinese district. Lots of Chinese food and markets to go to!

This place is a gem. You wouldn't think so until you enter the room as it will be difficult to upgrade outdoors. But the room has been nicely renovated and formed interesting space retro decorations. I was tile grouting, congested snobbery and this bathroom did a great job. Spacious shower room was well assembled. The place was very valuable!

Positives * We decided to use our Marriott points to stay at this location because it wasn't too far from central LA, and it didn't require as many points—excellent value for a Marriott. It was conveniently located just off the freeway but just far enough from the walled freeway for traffic noise to be imperceptible. * We were able to sleep very well because the pillow was just right (airy but cradling the head with sufficient support), a comforter with a little more weight than average, and pillow top mattress. * The room was spacious enough (compared to the Hampton Inn we stayed at in Palmdale) and warmly contemporary styled as Courtyards are, which we like. Negatives Weak toilet flush, if that matters—risk of clogging Breakfast not included $6 overnight parking charge, which I hadn't expected but not too pricey

It didn't take long to find the hotel after getting off the ramp. Banks near the hotel, 168Market UPS store stationery store, etc. are all very close, very convenient
