May look a little old fashioned from the outside ... It is 50's style.. But the rooms are very clean and comfortable,modern furnishings. The motel boasts a lovely private pool with plenty of room to sit rounds and relax. There is free wifi and breakfast thrown in too. Been ther before and will go back again. The room we had... More

It couldn't be more convenient to PCC sporting event across the street. The AC unit is nice and quiet and with the windows that open, no problem sleeping, although the pool side had late night Saturday night noise. Price is right, shower good, TV fine, and a mid century classic.

My son and I stayed here for one night in February while checking out Cal Tech on a college tour. It was a great deal -- the least expensive place we've stayed in all the college-touring we've done -- but, you know, you kinda get what you pay for. Our room was reasonably spacious and clean enough, and it was... More

This charming, fifties style motor hotel was a very enjoyable stay. It is situated within walking distance of several places to eat and easy driving distance from Old Town Pasadena but far enough away for a good night's sleep. The room could use with a cosmetic update but everything was clean, secure and quite. I'll stay here again...

Worth every penny! We had a room on the second floor by the elevator and it was quiet. They put out a small breakfast spread of bagels, English muffins, cereals, juice, oatmeal, fresh fruit, coffee, pastries, tea, and they have a heated pool, too. It's located on rt 66. A block away is a Starbucks, liquor, gas, and fast food... More

Stayed here for five nights. Staff were very friendly and helpful, almost felt like family. We had a large clean room. Quiet so good sleep. Free laundry. Very nice pool and sitting area. Excellent wireless internet connectivity. The room was perhaps not luxurious, but was very comfortable and spacious. Location for us was very convenient.

This inn is located right across from the Pasadena City College; we stayed during the weekend so we did not encounter much student activity, if there is ever any. Our room was on the third floor overlooking the college, right next to the elevator. We did not hear any noise from the elevator. The room was large, clean and comfortable,... More

My husband and i were coming down to Pasadena for the night and most of the hotels were booked or expensive due to Presidents weekend. Came across this online and liked the pics and reviews. The Saga was not expensive and had a good online special. Loved the way it looked when we pulled in, very 50-60's style sign and... More

It is very clean, the beds are very comfortable, but cosy for 4!! In the 2 double room we were only 2 so it was fine. Hurrah the windows open and have fly... More
