The hotel has its ups and downs. While being part of the inn with long-time residents could affect the ambiance, the room I stayed in, which seemed like a converted storage space, definitely needed a makeover, especially the bathroom. However, the staff was accommodating, especially when we had issues with our room. The location near Santa Anita Race Track was convenient, but the closed facilities were a bit disappointing. The dining options were simple but satisfactory, albeit not very lavish.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room I checked into initially was small and in need of updating, giving off a dreary and hot vibe. However, the staff promptly responded to my discomfort by upgrading me to a better room with an acceptable mattress. The service was impeccable, especially in arranging all our rooms together. The location, amidst the San Gabriel Mountains, was superb, offering beautiful surroundings. The dining experience was a bit underwhelming, but the fresh French patisseries made up for it. Overall, the facilities were decent, though some updates would enhance the experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were pretty basic, but if you request an upgrade, they can offer better-equipped suites which are spacious and great for family gatherings. However, there was a lingering cigarette smell in the non-smoking room, and noise could be an issue due to the lack of modern soundproofing.

The hotel rooms were a bit dreary and hot, with musicians playing loudly until late in the evening, but the long-term residents section was somewhat better despite needing an update. The service was a mix of basic breakfast and helpful, friendly staff, though some noise disturbances occurred. The location was excellent for family swimming and near a famous horse racing track, making it a lovely setting. The dining options were simple but good, with room for improvement. Overall, the facilities were in need of updating but still functional.

The hotel had elegantly decorated rooms, but they got too warm during the night, making me sweat by 2:30 am. Despite heavy renovation and the need for upgrades like chips on the bath tub, the stay was still decent. The service was a mixed bag with tree cutting noise but friendly and helpful staff who responded promptly to issues like a bad bed. The location was pleasant with nice gardens and proximity to attractions like the horsetrack and restaurants, though the breakfast options were limited. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious enough to have a seating area for reading or eating, but they felt old, run down, and outdated despite the great location. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and helpful staff, although the noise from tree trimming right outside our room was quite disruptive. The location was beautiful, offering scenic views and being close to highways, but the constant sirens from the nearby hospital were off-putting. The dining options were basic, with just cereal and white bread toast available. The facilities were well-kept and beautiful.

I absolutely loved the vintage look and the gardening at this hotel. However, my designated no-smoking room smelled strongly of smoke, which was disappointing. Despite this, the overall stay was pleasant.

I found the hotel to be in a convenient location, right next to the Santa Anita Park horse racing track and close to essential amenities in Arcadia and Los Angeles. The service was accommodating with flexible arrangements during my extended stay. The room had a nice layout, but the mothball smell was off-putting at times. The dining options were basic but sufficient, and the overall value for money was decent considering the noisy surroundings.

The hotel had elegantly decorated rooms just as I had wanted, but the dining party with musicians wailing until 11:00 PM was quite disruptive. Part of the inn had long-time residents, and even though it was a non-smoking environment, there was a lingering smell of cigarettes. However, we faced delays as our room was not ready upon check-in, and we had to carry our big luggages up the stairs.
