    Usually I love residence inn, it's great for families esp with the kitchen appliances. 3 stars for the complimentary breakfast and ample parking. Breakfast had bacon and eggs, waffles, yogurt. The room was nice but the air conditioning did not work at all. It was so hot at night. The windows don't open all the way which is understandable so we had to leave the door open for an hour to get good air flow. We checked in late with a big group and by the time we settled in and realized it, it was too late to move. So please check the air conditioning and make sure everything works!

    This place is GROSS!!!!!!!!! We booked a two bedroom suite and boy were we disgusted when we checked in! I never sleep in a hotel without fully checking the room, including the beds and I was so disgusted about what I found. I nearly vomited! Both mattresses were completely covered in disgusting, yellow and brown stains, blood stains, and some mysterious black things that are quite possibly bugs or mouse poop who really knows and I wasn't about to find out because I didn't touch it. Every surface is full of dust. The ceiling has stains from water, the carpet is disgusting so is all of the furniture not to mention the foul smell that you would think housekeeping would recognize when they walk in. This place is one of the most disgusting hotels I've ever seen in my life . I was not expecting this from the Marriott name. I would absolutely not recommend this hotel under any circumstances!!! You'd be better off to sleep in your vehicle and that is not an exaggeration. The front desk workers are nice, but that is not enough to redeem this disgusting cesspool of a hotel!

    Comfortable room with a cozy bed. Wi-Fi (with Titanium Elite status) worked well. Good location for hiking in the San Gabriel Mountains. A/C worked well and wasn't noisy. Plenty of electrical outlets in the room for charging electronics. Parking isn't free. Hotel layout is a dated 1980s style. Bathroom desperately needs modernizing. Floor around toilet is grimy and peeling apart. Any hotel that won't do daily housekeeping immediately looses 1, maybe 2 stars off the review. But this hotel did, on request, provide housekeeping on my second of three nights.

    The floor of the bathroom/accessible shower. It was old and very stained. Shower drains to the middle of the bathroom.

    This place just turned me off from the get go. The clerk that greeted me was friendly but asked too many questions. It got a little awkward. We pull up to our room and we use the HC parking but low and behold a maintenance vehicle was parked in the area between the two spots for handicapped which made it difficult for my husband to maneuver his wheelchair around our vehicle. Walked into our room and it smelled. Don't know what smell they were covering up but whatever it was the deodorizer didn't work. The room was otherwise clean but just felt old. Then we walked into the bathroom. The floor was old, discolored, stained, not level, and not safe when wet. They have a drain in the middle of the bathroom floor because the shower floor isn't level so it drains to the middle of the bathroom. You can't even put a floor mat down because it gets soaked and is useless. We used the fridge & freezer, both were clean and in good working order. The bed was very firm if you like that. The next morning we drove up to the front to get the complementary breakfast which was good. They had a good variety to choose from plus they had strong coffee . As we went to park in HC parking at the front office, again there was a maintenance vehicle parked in a HC spot. You may not have many that need the HC parking but it is illegal to park there for a reason. This place definitely was not worth the $200+ we paid.

    Check in time?

    Check in time is 3 PM, however I messaged the the hotel via the app and asked and was told I could check in as early as 11 AM, I checked in at 1PM. Not sure if it was because of my membership level, or because I asked in advance.

    What time for breakfast?

    During my stay it was 7 AM to 9 AM weekdays and 7 AM to 9:30 AM Friday to Sunday.

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!
