    A little late with this review, but stayed here Christmas Eve because I really didn't wanna sleep on the living room floor at the mother in law's since we had to go back early Christmas day to open presents with everybody. This room was pretty basic, like Motel 6, Super 8, basic. Nothing really fancy, nothing really nasty, just some basic motel furniture with a few minute scratches and dings and a comfy, clean bed. If I could, I'd give it 3.5 stars because of the mini fridge, iron and ironing board and coffee maker. What I liked about this place was that there were fully stocked vending machines with reasonable prices, ice machines on every floor, even though the ice machine on my floor didn't work, which is why I had to take a half star off. The thing I liked is that there's signage on the ice machine telling you not to use it for your ice chests. This is something I do in Vegas, so I can't really talk shit, but I'd imagine the sign is there due to the proximity of the race track and people filling their coolers up to keep their cold ones cold for that parking lot pre flight. Keyless entrance was also a plus for me and check in was relatively quick and pain free. Overall, when I want to avoid the in law's floor, I might consider staying here again. It was quiet, it was clean, and there was ample parking. I've stayed in worse. So if you're not too fancy foo-foo, give it a shot!

    Filthy Accommodations. I booked this hotel after staying here once before in 2017. Upon returning I have to say that the front desk staff was helpful, the room was horrendous. I questioned if had even been cleaned do to the state that it was in. It was dirty to the point that I asked for a refund, which they accommodated. If you do not mind staying in a place that is not well taken care of, this may be the place for you. The pictures they post of the rooms are vastly different in terms of what you actually find when you check in. Id rather sleep in my car than stay here again in the future. Sorry Oak Tree Inn, you need to be better than this.

    Horrible place to stay, has bedbugs. I do not recommended this hotel. When I called the front desk, they pretended not to know what I was talking about.

    Holes

    I chose this plane for it's location and price but moreover that it had a pool and a hottub. (Mistake!) The place had that moldy/ mildew smell combined with ancient cigarette smoke that had my hairs on end right away. The desk worker was not a native speaker of English and had trouble grasping the meaning simple statements and questions. I asked where the hot tub was and found it locked not only by the standard room key Swipe lock but also by a chain and padlock. I told the clerk and we went three rounds of back and forth where I was told that the room key was the way to get entry. Finally the idea of the added padlock and chain was conveyed and access achieved. Before I was able to put my towel down and test the water, a worker was in the pool shed adjusting something. I asked if they had just turned the hottub on and was told no that it had been on. As my hand slid into the urine warm water I realized that might not be true. I left thinking to get some dinner and then hottub onceit warmed up. Four hours later the temp had not changed. I asked at the front desk if the temp was on high and was told yes. Check out the state of this ratty blanket we were given. When I asked for an extra comforter like you'd get on a bed I was told that the people who could get that for me had left for the day. Smaller TV. Good shower and a dry room gets this place an extra star.

    My husband and I stayed at this location during a business event. The pricing of the hotel is overpriced for the room. The hotel is below standards for comfort, and is not an updated hotel, with many items out of service like the drink machines, and the rest of the hotel is very dated. Our room was on the third floor, but the room is old shaped and was not clean...more like it was disgusting. I won't book this place again, & it was even still very dirty. From the side of the bed, they is an uphill angle as the floor was uneven. Not to mention the WiFi, even after I was given the password, still didn't work. The carpet was filthy, and the bathroom sink wasn't even cleaned. Old faucets and the floors are nasty

    This place is a joke. Kevin the manager can never be found. I had a very bad stay at this Hell Hole of a place. Anyway i stood there on a Friday. Checked in 9- 10 o'clock at night was drained from driving all day. Went straight to bed and felt something bite me I woke up to a bug bite. Woke up next morning to not being able to shower or brush my teeth because plumbing is backed up.EVERYWHERE ALL ROOMS. THEN noticed Blood stains on my shits. Called office they didn't care they just gave me a discount 75 dollars compared to the 106$ ,plus deposit. So I got 25 back ..when they should have refunded the whole amount. Asked for manager no where to be found. Any that place sucks I will also down load pics of room.

    very tight parking spots
    Jordan D.

    mediocre breakfast, very tight parking spots(see pictures), I could barely fit a "compact" car in there(VW Bug) and after parked there's no room to get in and out, imagine all the dents you'll get. I think they did this to get more parking spaces, at the expense of your car. first night we're in, we found a very rusted push pin on the floor(see pictures), we could have easily step on it while getting off the bed, luckily we didn't, who knows what kinda stuffs is on it. third night going back to our room, the elevator has a bunch of towels on the floor(see pictures) it's good thing we bought our own towels. Anyways, it's the cheapest "ok looking" hotel online, but reality is far below our expectation. no repeat for us.

    No frills, no thrills. Only what you need for a fair, economical price. I mean its in Monrovia/Arcadia, so Its not like you are looking for resort amenities. It's close to City of Hope so it's perfect for visiting, students, candidates, and patients. (High end doctors and surgeons will need something a little more high end. Go see Marriot and Embassy Suites down the street). If you house is being fumigated or you have business in the area, or you drank too much in the local bars, then this place is just a touch on your smart phone away using the Priceline app. There is a pool, and that is about it. For $65 bucks the room was very clean, very minimal. You could actually open your window to get fresh air, but the sheer curtains had a few rips and tears. But the room was clean. I have uploaded photos of the room.

    Their free breakfast.

    I don't care what the negative reviews on here say, I just came back from my first trip to California and I have to say, Oak Tree Inn made my stay amazing! The staff was friendly, we stayed in room 201 which I highly recommend because it's the corner room on the second floor away from the noise. Our room was clean, maid service cleaned up our room every time my fiancé and I went out. Lots of nice places to eat and shop. The water pressure of our shower was great, the bed was so.comfy I didn't want to get out of bed. Lol My fiancé and I took advantage of their free breakfast. It was great! The donuts,scones and muffins were so soft and fresh. We took a dip in their pool and jacuzzi to relax. Thank you for your service Oak Tree Inn! We will be back in October of this year!

    This was our first time staying at this particular Embassy Suites location, and unfortunately, the…read moreoverall experience was disappointing, especially compared with other Hilton properties we've stayed at. The service wasn't necessarily bad, but nothing about it was particularly memorable or welcoming. At other locations, we've typically been offered complimentary bottles of water, but here we had to ask for them. When we did, the gentleman at the front desk asked for our room number, which seemed a little odd for something as simple as water. That ended up being just the tip of the iceberg. As soon as we got settled into our room, we noticed a foul, mildew-like odor in the living room area. The breakfast area also wasn't being kept very clean. There were crumbs and food debris throughout the area, and it was pretty apparent that no one was consistently keeping up with the tables and general cleanliness while guests were eating. I was also surprised by the $200 deposit, as that's not something we've encountered during our stays at several other Hilton properties. What made the experience even stranger was the amount of emphasis on tipping despite how disorderly things felt. There were QR code table tents encouraging tips, additional tipping information in the room, and even a physical tip jar prominently displayed in the breakfast area. I have no issue tipping for good service, but having so many reminders asking guests to tip while the dining area itself wasn't being properly maintained felt a little tone deaf. One other thing that really stood out: breakfast closes at 10:30, but if guests are already inside and still eating, why close the doors around them? It came across as tacky and made the experience feel unnecessarily unwelcoming. Closing breakfast service at the designated time is completely understandable, but guests who are already seated should be allowed to finish without feeling like the place is being shut down around them. Overall, the entire stay just felt weird and unorganized. Having stayed at several Hilton properties before, we expected a more polished and hospitable experience from Embassy Suites. Unfortunately, this location fell noticeably short of that.

The list can go on and on. Checked in with Victor at the front desk and he was somewhat pleasant, I wanted to use my Triple A card and he wouldn't budge at all. I don't know if he is aware of the benefits of Triple A or not, but didn't accept my card. Moving forward with the rest. I was staying here on the 28th of May and checked out on the 31st of May. Needed to get away from my crazy ass neighbors and it was also work related. Victor was helpful in some areas. I told him that I need a room that is quiet, and he suggested 9th floor room #913. Walked into the room and everything was just super comfortable. My window was facing the beautiful mountains. Had way too many restaurants within walking distance. Amenities are: big TV that actually had my name on it, welcoming me into the hotel, mini fridge, I asked for a microwave(upon request), and by the time I came back from dinner, the microwave was already there. King size bed, standard size couch with a small round table and a leg rest. Big closet along with lots of drawers, and iron/ironing board, a laundry facility on the 2nd floor, the Bistro restaurant that kind of had weird hours. I'll get to that in a minute. Had a coffee machine with all the belongings that comes with it, gym(open 24/7),restrooms all around. Inside the lobby, around the pool and jacuzzi area, had a mini market with a lot of late night snacks from Ramen, Chips, Cookies, Frozen Food, Beverages and also a microwave for their guests. It had a Banquet hall and also a couple of meeting rooms. The entire hotel along with the lobbies, were super clean. Had a blow dryer, clean, crisp towels in the bathroom and the cutest shower curtain that I have ever seen inside a hotel's restroom. It looked like a bridal dress from the 50's 60's era. That cute. Presure of the water was not that good. Understandable, they are conserving water. Restaurant was fairly a large size with great people working there with FANTASTIC HOSPITALITY. They also had a small menu to choose from. Had breakfast and dinner.Ate there twice. Great, affordable prices. Also for Starbucks lovers, they have coffee. They don't have room service which was ok with me, you place your order on your app, or on the phone, go downstairs and pick it up. Special thanks to Meg, one of the most cheerful, upbeat, full of love and energy who works in the restaurant. Rosie was nice too. Bed, pillows, sheets were very comfortable.A/C was working perfectly. They also had a desk and a chair. Tried both their unique pools, and the jacuzzi. Both very clean and everything was SUBLIME!!! Free parking, Free Wi-Fi, had extra pillows and blanket inside the closet. Restaurant hours were weekdays 6AM-10AM. Weekends 7AM-11AM. Don't have lunch, only dinner that opens from 5PM-10PM.

I checked in after 10 PM and checked out before 10 AM--I simply needed a place to rest after a seven-hour drive and to shower and prepare for the service. After returning home, I reviewed my charges and noticed an additional $5.00 fee on top of the room rate. When I called the front desk to inquire, I was told the charge was for water in the room. I explained that I did not use the water and that it was still there when I checked out. I also shared that I have a photo, as I make it a habit to record a video of the room upon departure for my records. I was then asked to provide a photo with a clearly visible date and time stamp so it could be forwarded to a manager for review. Given the amount of money I have spent with Hilton, it is disappointing to feel as though my honesty is being questioned over such a minor charge. This is not about the $5.00--it is about the principle. I am being charged for something I did not use. If that level of proof is required from guests, it would only be fair for the hotel to provide similar documentation showing the item was missing upon my departure. That expectation would clearly be unreasonable, which is exactly my point. I was told a manager would contact me directly, but I have not received any follow-up. I am very disappointed with the lack of customer service, accountability, and respect shown in this situation.

A fascinating piece of history (listed on the National Register of Historic Places). The 44-room hotel opened in 1925 (before the creation of Route 66). It was designed by architect Robert Stacy-Judd in the Mayan revival style (but named the Aztec because it was thought this would be more familiar to the public). The hotel was not particularly successful and went through various phases, including rumors of being a speakeasy and a brothel. It was a bit of a notorious spot for a while, with shady characters occupying its rooms. I was told that 11 people have died here which may not be a particularly high number for such an old hotel. Nonetheless, there are claims of hauntings and tales of paranormal activity. Either way, it's a super fascinating and aesthetically marvelous place!
