Second time here, great location, rooms good size, very nice staff, we came here for the cruel world festival last year and decided to come back. We are not disappointed, very much a retro style place that has breakfast in morning.

Well run old school motel. Really liked our single bed room with a comfortable armchair. No in-room coffee maker but lobby has good coffee and a very nice early breakfast selection. Very nice alternative to the cookie cutter chains.

Saga is great for what it is. Immaculately clean, affordable, well located, nice office staff, good breakfast, convenient parking. Not a "special" or "boutique" hotel experience, but it always checks the right boxes for us when we are in Pasadena.

Absolutely loved this wonderfully preserved mid-century hotel. No frills, just nostalgia. There are so many cool details including a brown bag style continental breakfast, a swimming pool that is more than 6ft deep, and even old school keys. It's in a nice location across the street from Pasadena City College and down the street from Old Town Pasadena. Highly recommend.

The lady at the front desk was racist towards black people. She approach us very aggressively and asked what we were doing there, although we had already checked in and went to lunch and was walking back to our room. I stated we were going to our room and she should check her records. I went down to the front desk to say I was offended by her. She stated we could not have more than 4 people in the room. I told her the others were not staying just visiting. She said the could visit outside not in the room due to fire hazard. I have never heard of such a thing and I have travel to many places in the last 30 years. I told her this was racial profiling and I took this whole ordeal as such. She called the room and told us we could leave and a refund would be issued. I went back to the front desk and got the refund issued and asked for a print out, which she he hummed about but I was not leaving unless I got a print. Which I finally received. We packed up and left and I stated I was giving the placed a terrible review
Room tip: If your not white don't stay there. They make your stay very uncomfortable.

Super Retro hotel with lovey palms surrounding the pool. Ask for room 217, 219 or 215 so you can view the palms through the hurricane blinds.decor hasn’t been updated If that’s what you’re looking for but the Continental breakfast is vast including Krispy Kreme‘s! Good coffee
