    Nothing other than it was cheap for 3 nights. Only stayed for 2 nights

    It wasn’t well maintained or resembled the pictures that are on the booking page. It reeked like cigars. Arrived at a dirty room with dirty sheets and appliances. Had to buy Clorox wipes and Febreze. The roaches came out at night and crawled all over the sheets the second night. Bathroom looked like it went a rough season with mildew buildup.

    The spacious front porch. Wifi was good. Working microwave & mini fridge in the room.

    Like a lot of other cheap accommodations on booking.com, Pads on Pasadena is awful. Very dirty, very run down. The house is over 100 yrs old & I don't think it's ever been remodeled. Poorly maintained property. The place is infested with roaches & other bugs (esp. in the bathrooms). No toilet paper in the two bathrooms (you have to bring your own). Ancient air conditioner blows hot & cold air. The blanket I was given was dusty & had hair all over it. Also, if you complain about bad listings to booking.com, they will blacklist you.

    Terrible.

    The staff was rude when we told them we weren’t going to stay there… after she showed us 3 rooms that were all covered in bugs and stained bed sheets and her excuse was “I come in and clean the sheets and rooms daily” then we told her we would stay somewhere else and she said it wasn’t free and to contact the property(even tho it had been 3 days and no response) and then slammed the door in our face… mind you this was our honeymoon and we had to pay for another hotel that day and it was a holiday so it was pricy

    Room was ok.

    Neighborhood is not where I would live. Fire station katty corner. Barking dogs across the street.

    1VladimirPosted on: 2-19-2025

    Friendly staff

    very dirty. no amenities. looks like a run down home for homeless people or drug addicts. this is literally a horrible place to be in that you don't feel safe. why is this even on booking???

    1SanaPosted on: 1-4-2025

    Disgusting

    Every thing is dirty, old, poor area, disgusting furniture. Nothing like pictures. This should be removed from vacation areas

    1ReyesPosted on: 11-9-2024

    I liked that it was cheap, as we weren’t going to be there but to sleep and get ready.

    We didn’t like that it wasn’t the room we booked, we didn’t like that the bathroom was dirty, nor did we like that there was no nearby parking, Wi-Fi, clean fridge and that someone left opened chips in the closet

    I am not one to complain, I reserve 1 star reviews for something that is just absolutely appalling and shouldn't exist on this planet. That said this place shouldn't exist. It's not a hotel. Even the fire station across the street, who I asked for help when I couldn't even get into the building when I reserved, questioned what this place was. There are in fact people living here, but this place looks like it has not received any maintenance since a century ago.

    There is nothing to like, this place is the type where you get shot for no reason, no exaggeration. This is NOT LA. For people touring. Your experience of this city should be nothing like whatever this abandoned building appears to be. A complete scam, unsafe, super odd this is listed at all, and I have no clue why it's still somehow available to reserve. Someone is definitely present to take your money though. I didn't even get to stay here because no one answered phone calls or let me in

    1KaraPosted on: 7-27-2024

    Don’t rent here

    It was dirty, bathroom was creepy, ac didn’t work, horrible neighborhood.And I’m pretty sure the manger was trying to sleep with me.

    3MohammedPosted on: 5-30-2024

    Sheets and towels seem fresh

    Roaches, hair and poop all over shared bathroom that hasn’t been thoroughly cleaned, floor in bedroom grimey, hallway has a rotten stench. Generally poor hygiene standards here.

    10MelaniePosted on: 5-8-2024

    I love that we have our own little space though it is spacious enough complete with amenities. Just bring your own mug and utensils. You will really enjoy it.

    It didn't have a/c or heater. The channels on TV are basic.

    1DevinPosted on: 4-10-2024

    Nothing it was infested with bugs

    The fact that they used a bait and switch, the lack of accountability and the fact they had a bug problem

    1AhmedPosted on: 2-15-2024

    Breakfast wasn’t included.

    Too much noise from street. Scary neighborhood. Not recommended to walk alone during night time. One common washroom for entire floor and I was unable to close the windows. As a matter of fact I had booked 08 nights there but I left the place after first night.

    Good location and clean and well equiped.. Cristina the owner is so friendly and helpful ,, I found the property is much more better than the reviews and rate already have

    1DianaPosted on: 1-5-2024

    Absolutely NOTHING

    There were roaches everywhere, lots of noise of other rooms, loud music, crying, footsteps all night long, it was so dirty, smelled bad, itlooked nothing like the pictures, never stay here

    1YilmazPosted on: 10-5-2023
