The hotel is in need of repair. The door was so warped that small animals could get in. The deadbolt only closed if the door was pulled on. And the safety bar couldn't be used without pushing the door closed. No towel racks at all. No hooks in the bathroom. There was nowhere to hang up towels by the shower or sink. The room was clean with a newer fridge with freezer and a newer microwave. Both were really nice. The bed....had a top sheet used as the bottom fitted that didn't cover the mattress pad. It was a good foot to short so once I got in bed my feet were on the mattress pad and the sheet was all bunched up. I've stayed at this location before, but it's really run down now.

It was very very dirty. The room only can with 2 bars of soap, 2 hand towels and a wash cloth. Had to ask the desk for bath towels. Asked for a hair dryer and they said we had to buy one from them. Floor was filthy. Mopped it ourselves with a wet hand towel. Will never stay there again.

The location of the motel is not Old Town Pasadena as stated in the title. It is significantly farther east on Colorado Blvd than actual “Old Town”. The staff was helpful in helping us park our car with a trailer in the parking lot. There also was no extra charge for our dog. The actual condition of the room was okay. It was obviously older, but clean. There was only one small bar of soap provided (no shampoo or bodywash), and the towels were very thin and somewhat scratchy.

I was allowed to stay 21 nights by the manager or owner of this Motel 6 in Old Town Pasadena, CA. I needed this help. The rooms were clean. The staff or the employees working at the front desk were helpful. The parking was good. The Air Conditioning was good. Motel 6 is known for affordable, economical, and clean accommodations. They allow pets or dogs for free, but there is always a bad, irresponsible guest or traveler who leaves their dog alone in their room. This ends up disturbing several guests and me from 1 to 5 am in the morning. We didn't get much sleep that morning. The employees, maids, and guests do not like allowing dogs at this motel. There is one short Latina maid who knocks on the door excessively and consecutively four or five times until the guest or traveler comes to the door. This maid is also ready to force entry into the room if the guest or traveler doesn't come to the door. This is an invasion of privacy, because I haven't checked out of the room yet. I finally was able to locate the manager, Kyle, who told me the guest or traveler with the noisy pet or dog was removed from the property. He also told me it was standard practice for Motel 6 to allow and tell their maids to knock excessively and consecutively four or five times, and to also force entry into the room if the guest or traveler doesn't come to the door. This is very disrespectful to all the guests or travelers. The manager really should be fired right then. I had to report this to Motel 6.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom could have been cleaned a little better as I found long black hairs in the shower and on the clean towels. I walked to a local store and bought a bath towel. The hotel is pretty basic as far as amenities go. The bus stop is close by if you’re wanting to get around and don’t have a car. There’s also plenty of ride share drivers in the area. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again.

For what seemed to be the 2 hottest days of the year the air conditioner in my room Was much like some of the workers there they decide when they check in and check out which means they decide when to work and don’t want to work. Telling front desk twice didn’t know justice. And even with this. O asked for a late checkout because I was debating on staying a third day or go to another establishment. Another hot day began to make the decision for me not wanting to relocate, decided there was a knock on the door. It was the front desk literally forced me to pack up and leave. She said. “ either paying now or I’m tossing your (yes she did use an explicit word right here. ) in the parking lot.” how would you feel?

It's fine for a basic night or weekend stay. I travel solo for work a couple weekends out of the month. It fits the bill and I don't have any overages from the company budget plus I'm less than three miles from my work station. I always bring my own coffee and food, snacks and I always bring my own towels. I'm very picky about towels and Motel6 has some clapped-out towels. For real. Thread-bare and full of other people's hair *cringe*
So if you're anything like me bring your own bath towels and washcloths if you know that you're going to be staying there beforehand. I also keep a hardcore-lint roller in my car and I lint-roll the sheets and the bed and pillows before I lay down. Otherwise- you get what you pay for. I've stayed here solo several times for work since January. I liked the upstairs rooms better. This time I got a ground-level room and it was loud beginning about 3am. People were yelling; loud music, animals barking.... Otherwise it was fine. Parking does fill up fast!! if you're lucky enough to park close to your room after initial check-in, then walk to what you need. The area is walkable, lots of stores, liquor store is right next door, restaurants and shops within proximity. All in all it was fine, I was only back there for the evening after an 11-hour work day. Y'all enjoy!

This Motel 6 property has been fully renovated, and it was the best Motel 6 I have ever stayed in. New mirror, new shower, new decor. And it had some perks: a working refrigerator and a working microwave. (If anyone has stayed at Motel 6 as often as I have, you'll know that sometimes these appliances are removed). But the best best best thing: a cleaned up, renovated and functioning pool! Since covid, many pools at older motels that were run-down were shut off and access to the pools locked at all times. This Motel 6 pool is open, functioning, and was quite nice. The staff was super chill, and my stay was very comfortable. As this Motel 6 is near my work and I frequently have to stay near work overnight due to commute issues, I will be staying here again, most likely exclusively.

Parking got to be a little full later on after dark. This place is good if you’re looking for basic amenities like somewhere to shower, sleep an store your food. It was fine for myself, a solo traveler for work. No shortage of random people rambling around in the parking lot asking people for change or a cigarette or just coming up to talk to me. The room could’ve used a bit of a deeper cleaning but it’s to be expected for the price. I wouldn’t mind staying here again.

The showers were dirty the water when showering the tub would fill quick and the drain was clogged with a huge clump of hair! Honestly one of the worst experiences there! If you can spend the extra money and go somewhere more decent the parking I seen the cops there and bums walking around so if you have a family don’t come here!

The hotel was very nice. By far, it was the best Motel 6 I’ve stayed in. However, the beds were hard and uncomfortable and didn’t allow me to sleep well. If you like firmer mattresses, this may be a plus for you. The shower valve was broken and hard to pull and adjust the temperature but thankfully, it was set on a warm temperature. The rooms were clean and pest free. There was no loud noise and the staff were very nice and provided fast service. It’s located next to a plaza with shops and a convenience store.

I've never checked into a room while the attendant was scarfing down a bag of chips. The room i was originally checked into, wasn't completely cleaned. The pillows where just pilled on one of the beds without any pillow sheets and the stuffing coming out from a big hole in the corner. I quickly went to front desk and was issued another one. The room is spacious though. The outside of this hotel is in dire need of new paint and someone cleaning up the parking lot as there is lots of trash all over the property. I guess it comes with the territory when you rent out rooms to a lot of undesirable people. The surrounding hotel guests where extremely loud throughout the night but thats not really the hotels fault. As much as i liked the room, i don't think I'll be staying there as we didn’t feel safe in this property.
