Cleanliness
5.2
Mixed to negative: multiple guests reported unclean rooms (hair, dirty WC, elevator/stairs dirty), strong nicotine and urine odors in some rooms, a large cockroach and ants biting guests; several reviews also mention clean rooms, but recurring cleanliness problems lower this score.
Service
7.8
Generally positive: many comments praise polite, helpful staff and a standout manager; some reports of grumpy or unhelpful responses from front desk on maintenance issues and indifferent responses to pest complaints.
Location
7.2
Mixed: several guests liked the location (close to college, Huntington Gardens, easy shopping/walking), while others found the area dated/off the beaten path and felt uneasy walking at night.
Room Quality
6.6
Mixed condition: guests note spacious, updated and comfortable rooms with good showers and beds, but others reported malfunctioning TV/fridge, worn outlets, difficult shower lever, dingy/empty-feeling rooms and odors in some units.
Amenities
8.3
Positive: pool repeatedly praised as a highlight, free coffee/tea in lobby, ice machine, microwave and mini-fridge in rooms, and parking availability; one note about noisy AC.
Value for Money
7.5
Generally seen as good value: several guests call it good value/peaceful with ample parking; however pest and cleanliness issues reduced perceived value for some visitors.
Food and Beverage
6.8
Limited offerings: only basic complimentary coffee/tea in reception noted; no dedicated dining options mentioned, so score reflects minimal F&B presence.
Overall Experience
7.4
Mixed overall: many guests report clean, comfortable stays and recommend the hotel, praising staff and amenities like the pool; a number of stays were marred by cleanliness, pest issues and occasional maintenance/service lapses.

we loved the Pasadena Motel 6.
Pros:

we loved everything, the location, the size of the room, the parking and the nearby restaurants.

Cons:

The shower head had to be replaced, it got the bathroom floor soaking wet. one of the bulbs on the end table kept going on & off, one of the bulbs over the bathroom sink was so dim it was horrible. the laminate floor looked nice but it made our socks filthy dirty, we wouldn't walk on it in our bare feet. the drug dealings and pimping on the side street next to the motel's driveway.

5 roaches killed in 1 night...
Cons:

5 roaches killed in 1 night... They proposed to give another room but I think nothing will be done for pest control. A shame for the price.

Pros:

The room was basic, clean. A tea kettle with no cups, MW, mini fridge. Supposed to be non-smoking property but not well monitored. Elevator, stairs were dirty. The place gets lots of use and it shows.

Pros:

Leider nichts bis auf die freien Parkplätze. Eine Sache doch, Personal war sehr bemüht.

Cons:

Erste Zimmer war nicht gereinigt, daraufhin haben wir ein neues Zimmer bekommen welches stark Nikotin roch. Beim dritten Anlauf haben wir ein Zimmer mit mittleren Uringeruch bekommen. Zimmer waren nicht sauber, Haare auf den Boden und WC-Deckel

The receptionist Adrianna was very rude from the start, she definitely does not need to work in customer service

Pros:

The rooms were clean and updated, the pool was a great bonus. Staff was very helpful and I loved the free coffee in the lobby

Cons:

The outside looked a bit dated/rundown and the area was a bit off the beaten path. Not being from around there, we were a little nervous to walk places, but never had any issues at all.
