Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews call out dirty floors, hairs on sheets, mold in the shower, leaking fridge with towels to absorb water and general lack of cleanliness; significant negative sentiment.
Service
8
Mixed but with notable positive points: some staff described as 'above and beyond' and helpful with special-needs guests, though other reviews mention front desk refusals and inconsistent responses; overall leaning positive due to praised staff interactions in key instances.
Location
8.5
Consistently noted as convenient — close to Cal Tech and Arcadia HS and generally well located; location is a clear positive in multiple reviews.
Room Quality
5
Mixed room quality: a few mentions of comfortable/cozy beds but many issues (gaps under doors, mold, smoke smell, light fixtures hanging, squeaky/uncomfortable beds) producing an overall middling score.
Amenities
6
Amenities are inconsistent: the pool is praised (including therapeutic-chair accessibility), but there are broken items noted (leaking fridge, dryer problems, fast elevator, maintenance issues); overall slightly above average due to useful pool features.
Value for Money
4.5
Perceived as cheap/unsafe by some guests and at least one report of being scammed; combined with maintenance and cleanliness issues this lowers perceived value.
Food and Beverage
6.5
Breakfast is available and typical of a continental offering (pastries, toast, boiled eggs, apples) but is sometimes messy and items run out; neutral-to-slightly-positive overall.
Overall Experience
4.4
Overall mixed to negative: some guests had relaxing stays (especially families with special-needs children) and praised staff/pool, but many reports of cleanliness, maintenance, smoking, noise and safety concerns produce a below-average overall impression.

Decepcionante para ser Wyndham…
Pros:

Bien ubicado

Cons:

Sucio, las sábanas tenían pelos, el piso sucio, el baño no servía del extractor, en el lavamanos hay un bote para hielos y al abrirlo parecía tener un papel de baño usado y un papel de algo más… había ruidos extraños de alguien arriba moviendo camas toda la madrugada y a demás está marcado como que aceptan mascotas pero al hacer check in te dicen que no servía aceptan.

The rooms were decent, the door jam, at the bottom had a 2 inch gap which let in hot air and the AC out the room. The st
Pros:

Close to Cal Tech!

Cons:

Upon arrival we were unable to secure the porters trolley to take things to our room. The attendant did not get another for us , instead he insisted we go to the second floor , where it was kept. I told him we were there first and that we had rights to the first porters trolley being occupied by someone who grabbed it whilst we checked in. The attendant sighed and finally said he would get us the second one, located somewhere on the second floor. The power went off for a few hours. No one came to check on the residents to explain what was happening or if we were ok. The floors in our room were so dirty that we had to clean our feet each time we got into bed.

It was okay
Pros:

Tight spot with hardly any parking. There was a ton of people smoking marijuana on the property. The smell was everywhere. The elevator closes in about 5 seconds after it opens. Better be quick getting in or out. There was an abandoned car in the parking lot which made the property feel unsafe and cheap. The breakfast was typical of a contental style breakfast. Only apples as fresh fruit, the boiled eggs were typically out and the breakfast area was messy at best. They did serve pastries and bread for toast. Overall, the room was acceptable as far as cleanliness. The shower head and faucet needed to be cleaned and either tightened or replaced. We didnt use the pool, but it looked clean. The queen bed was super uncomfortable and squeaked when you turned over. It needed to be replaced as well. The air conditioner smelled when it was running. We used the heat and it smelled like burning hair. It needed to be cleaned and maintained. It seemed as though the owner didnt want to put the cleaning or maintenance crew to work fixing and cleaning the property. Spend a little more and find somthing better for your stay.

It’s a good spot to stay for a few nights
Pros:

Great location not to far from Arcadia high school

Cons:

The parking is a bit small so if you get back really late you might have to park on the outside of the property

Need sleep? Not here.
Pros:

Bad. Noisy. Creaky floors separating laminate. Cracked furniture. Low water pressured. Sink doesn't drain. Drug addicts upstairs moving furniturefrom 1040pm to 4am. Called front desk 4 times. Pool you don't want to use sandwiched into a chain link fence. Door doesn't seal. Didn't attempt breakfast-- the morning room and sundries are a joke. Ramada/ Wyndham shouldn't put their name on this hotel. The bed was comfortable. The TV was large.

Value for money
Pros:

The hotel is a little old and tired and the room lacked a safe however it was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was very good.
Convenient for Old Pasadena and much cheaper than other hotels more centrally located.
