We stayed 8 nights.We enjoyed the first 6 nights. Friday and Saturday nights were a disappointment. They allowed guest who were obnoxious to stay in room next to us. The walls were thin, thank goodness the a.c. was loud enough to keep most of the noise out. I would suggest a smoking area somewhere away from the rooms. The guests... More

Our company used the Howard Johnson Pasadena as our 'headquarters' during a major project. Altogether, we stayed more than 80 room nights and it worked out better than we had even hoped. The front desk staff is phenomenal - efficient, helpful, and friendly. The free parking, Wi-Fi, mini-fridge and microwave all made our extended stay more comfortable. There are plenty... More

They did give me a quiet room as asked. I got the free upgrade shower bath, huge tiled granite counters etc. Very clean & quiet, excellent service. The only sparse side was the breakfast. No yogurt, no ripe bananas, (totally green & a little frost bite,) not much selection if one does not like waffles... But such a deal... yes... More

I reserved a 2 BR suite here for the price of a regular room at the higher priced chains. The room was very nice and included microwave and small fridge. However, there was only 1 HVAC unit so if you want to close the door on that BR then there is no HVAC in the other BR. Towels are a... More

We decided to stay at the Howard Johnson after reading the nice reviews. We were very disappointed. We stayed there 3 nights. We were on the 2nd floor across from the elevator facing the parking lot. Every night we heard trucks driving into the parking lot, which we can only assume was delivering something. In the morning we would hear... More

My daughter and I stayed here for a week and so pleased she had chosen this hotel. Price was very reasonable. As we did not have a car we used public transport to go everywhere and this is not a problem. A bus stop to Hollywood is outside your door. The train is 5-7 minutes walk away and you are... More

My son & I recently flew into LAX in order to spend a weekend with his two small children. We found this hotel online and were more than pleased with the service, cleanliness, and how close it was to everything we needed.

There is no glam at this hotel which can be best described as a motel as it has the traditional layout of one. The rooms are huge, the bed is king size and comfortable.
