PROS...the location is fantastic. Walking distance to downtown is very easy. We went for the Rose Bowl and it was easy to walk to restaurants (which there are many of) and anywhere you want to go downtown. The staff is really nice and helpful if you need anything.
CONS...The hotel is kind of run down and needs repairs (see pics), especially for the prices in which you can spend the same on a much, much newer/better taken care of hotel. The cleaning wasn't great, we had long black hairs (which neither of us have) in our top blanket, on the floor, etc, stains on counter and walls. The towels, which I don't think I have ever complained about anywhere, were the thinest towels I have ever used and was so small we actually thought it was a hand towel at first. Our soap dispenser was broken, clocks in room were broken. Parking lot is small and while the parking is free I was warned by the staff that at night they may run our of parking and with only 2 hour parking in the area really close to the hotel, that could be an issue if you came back at the wrong time.
