What a fantastic place! "Cookie" is one of the nicest ladies you'll ever meet. What a sweetheart! She checked me in and saw to it that I had one of the quietest "bungalows" in the place. Parking was very nice (and I felt that my Jeep was safe). The room was better than expected at the price, and the ac blew very cold. Nice tv, great coffee and a very comfortable bed! Whenever I find myself in the area again, I'll definitely give "Cookie" a call and reserve a room. Very highly recommended! read more

20th Century Lodge is a great place to stay.Got a room with 2 beds. Plenty of parking and also has a pool .Highly recommend this place. read more

Have been staying here many times for years and the manager is absolutely amazing. She's so friendly, attentive, considerate and she always makes me feel welcomed everytime I stay there. This is the only motel I choose to go to because the manager is wonderful and the price is good compared to other places. The room is always clean and plenty of parking space. Comfortable motel. read more

Still stands true to date. Safe,Clean,and property is WELL maintained by Cookie,Joe and the rest of the lovely staff . They go out of their way to make sure all of your needs are met. The family vibe exceeds expectations of any other place I've visited. Best place to stay if you are in this neck of the woods read more

I stood here last minute with my boyfriend. I called around asking for pricing and this was one of the best prices around, plus it was in a great area. Free wifi! Price was $72 for their cheapest room. It was a very small but cute "bed and breakfast" type of place. It's a hidden gem if you ask me. There is a lot of construction going on, but it wasn't in our way at all. It's actually just on the east side of the complex. I stood in 123. It's tucked away in the corner, which I wouldn't have minded so much except that our neighbors were a bit loud. It didn't help that the walls were paper thin. There were people that would come up to their door and converse and we heard EVERY word. As for the room itself, like I said it was small BUT it did its job. The only thing I noticed was the rugs were stained. I kept my sandals on so it didn't effect me too much. Otherwise it was a clean room FREE OF SMOKE! I can't tel you how many times places say "smoke free" but it reeks! The lady in front was a lovely white, older lady. Very nice and sweet. The office is actually where she lives. It's attached to her home. I loved that the prices were the same when j got there. Sometimes places tell you one thing and then when you get there, it's different. Not here! She was true to her word. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here. It's a nice little hidden gem in Glendora. Best price around and it was a SATURDAY NIGHT! read more

The manager at this lodge is very understanding . The employees are kind and always willing to lend an ear. The grounds are well kept and the setting is very relaxing. read more

I highly recommend! Clean rooms, the manager and staff are the most friendly and welcoming. Very down to earth and very respectful. I believe the staff as well as the atmosphere reflects on management and the kindness and humanity of the managers . THEY ARE KIND AND PROFESSIONAL! Highly recommend the 20th Century Motor Lodge . read more

I've had several experiences with this place and they've all been bad. They dont answer the phone. They dont have recorded info. They don't return messages. I dont know whether they are open with Covid or closed. I have never been able to get a price from them and they arent published online. My friends say good things about the place. But I have had all negative experiences read more

We called and the lady on the phone was extremely rude and unprofessional. Perhaps don't be rude to people who are interested in staying in your facility. I also read a review about someone feeling racially profiled, we definitely got the same vibe that her rudeness was racially motivated. This is the second time we had called and she spoke to my dad like he's stupid. Don't come here unless you're Caucasian I guess read more

These people asked me to give them a 5 star review and also to sound really amazed and all for a 10 dollar off the next time I went there. Never even bothered There was a bug found in the pillow crawling underneath, and ants in EVERY shower/restroom. Over all, the room looks clean, but it's pretty tight and straight to the point , of course. Customer service is what topped it off. Always seemed like we got on their nerves all the time I'm pretty sure they ARE good people, but I think then just being where They are at now takes a toll. Over all, decent spot if you NEED. Place to go. read more

Hnads down the best place you can stay in Glendora, Covina, Azusa, San Dimas, Pomona, anywhere nearby. You can pay 30-50 more to stay at the Best Western down the street, but you won't get the amenities, space, or comfort that this place gives. Seriously. It's clean, you've basically got a cottage room with a shower, huge bed, huge TV, free wifi, endless outlets for electronics, a desk, two nightstands, two sitting chairs with an end table....its crazy. I'd more in if i could. The staff is fantastic, its secluded and private and literally it doesnt get better. read more

It seems like there maybe some longer term tenants here and while we had some issue with not having hot water we were given the key to another room to shower while they fixed it and were credited $20 for the trouble. It's not the nicest place I've stayed but it was comfortable and clean and we'd stay again. The lady who runs the establishment was sweet and attentive. read more

I've been staying at the 20th Century Motor Lodge for a few years now during my visits to So Cal. I've always had a pleasant experience staying here and they have always been very accommodating to my crazy flight schedules and my parents dialysis schedules. I did not think things could get much better here, but I was wrong! They have! The old manager retired and the new girls that took over have done an absolutely stellar job of vamping up the place. It's SUPER clean. The remodels are beautiful!! They've planted new foliage, they've added cute little outdoor tables with umbrellas, and they've done a lot of miscellaneous other little things that make the place shine. I flew in very late during this last visit and did not arrive until 2 am, and they STILL had my room ready and waiting. I stayed in room 116. It had 2 VERY comfy queen beds, a desk/work area, a nice dresser, a big flat screen TV, 2 nightstands, a little sitting table in the bay window, a mini bar/kitchenette area with mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot, and sink. There was plenty of closet space to hang clothes and store luggage. The bathroom is HUGE! Not all rooms have the tub/shower combo, but this one does and it was so nice to come back to the room after a long day and just soak in the tub. The shower head is rather low so be prepared to bend down a little if you're over 5'6. My husband is 6'3 and he had to crouch down during every shower. The WiFi gets a bit slow at times, but it will perk back up within a few minutes so just hang in there if it cuts out on you. Since the hotel is right ON the main highway, there is road traffic noise from Foothill (Route 66) that starts at about 6-7 am and goes on all day into the early evening. If you are not an early riser, I recommend earplugs. Otherwise you will hear the big trucks and other vehicles constantly passing by. One thing I wish they had was the "Do Not Disturb" signs. My solution: I would leave a note for my housekeepers outside my door when I needed that extra quiet time in the morning. I appreciate the LOTS of extra coffee and other extra goodies supplied by housekeeping during my stay, and I made sure to tip my housekeepers appropriately. I also appreciate the late check out time they always give me due to my crazy schedule when I am in town. THIS is well worth the stay in itself!! read more

Love this place! Great staff, clean rooms, very affordable and a HUGE POOL! I'd give it a 10 if it would let me! read more

I loved the laid back atmosphere and retro vibes.friendly service and spacious rooms.the pool was great especially after coming back from a long day at the beach.I did see some undesirable people but not hanging around just in passing.If I could change one thing it would be the carpeting and upholstered chairs.those were old and a little stained.overall my experience was great though and I would come back. read more

Cookie an Joe are very good people place is clean family friendly vinny machine in front full of snacks, quiet place swimming pool was clean with clean towels to use by the pool read more

We stayed here for a week for our 1st family vacation. Amazingly cute and quite little place. Perfectly centralized to everywhere we wanted to go and see. Great little place to retreat back to and unwind after all the California traffic. Was the perfect spot for our family of 4. Our kids and the best time swimming and enjoying all the amazing flowers and fruit trees. The staff and other guests were also amazing!! Would definitely stay again and most definitely recommend read more

Basic hotel. Everything is ok. Kinda clean and tucked away like a small oasis in the middle of a concrete jungle.

Tucked away on Route 66, you would totally pass it if you weren't looking for it. Only reason I gave this place 4 stars was because it kind of turned me off with all the little signs saying stuff like "our towels are expensive so if you dirty them you pay for them"....I liked this place. SUPER customer service.They gave us a really nice room! The staff is friendly and prices are reasonable. It was clean and since I am extremely picky when it comes to beds being clean, I have to say, they did quite well. Another little thing that irritated me (and this was not their fault at all) was the fact that some of their guests are quite inconsiderate about yelling at all hours of the night...I woke up several times to stupid guests yelling. Most likely they were drunk because Clubhouse 66 is across the street. All in all I would totally stay again. read more

We've stayed here on a couple occassions and both times were so pleasantly enjoyable. The price was very reasonable. It was $59.00 for a cute, quaint, and large room. The decor is mildly outdated but I think it really adds something to the whole experience. The owners (I believe it's a couple) are very warm and welcoming which left me feeling like guests at their home. The pool was great. The whole place was very clean. The staff very polite. I'm looking forward to staying there again when I'm in Glendora again. P.S. it's very close to The Hat where you can get the best pastrami sandwich ever! read more

Our stay over Christmas was great. Charming ,Cozy and a perfect hideaway to relax from life's stresses. The staff was so accommodating. Rooms very clean. I hear Wi-Fi is getting upgraded and they are installing new windows. Good thing because we notice a draft at night. All and all welcoming and the comfort you rarely find at a large hotel chain. read more

Very clean and reasonable price!! Cozy rooms and friendly service...we booked online and they called us to confirm the reservation... Only complaint would be about someone running their noisy car late at night in the parking lot, very annoying. Other than that, we were extremely pleased and will DEFINITELY be coming again.... read more

To start off I booked this the day before 7/23/16 and I was lucky because they had one room left, I had the queen room and for the price it was a really nice place to stay, felt like your own place. Everything was in working order, nice and neat, also they had a book for you to see everything around. Whether it was eating or to just tour around they were nice enough to put together the places to see and eat at. I think that alone deserves 5 stars. Anyways I had no problems at all and I will stay the next time I want to visit. read more

Hello, I was here about 3 years ago and I can't believe how much it has improved! I checked in with a lady named cookie , she is such a people person ! We loved her. The rooms were exceptionally clean and I will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family. Thank you cookie read more

20th Century Motor Lodge - Hotels Near Me - Glendora, California

I spent a couple of weeks here last winter. One morning my girlfriend and I went out for breakfast. When we got to the restaurant, my girlfriend remembered she had left a $50 bill on her computer. We went back to get it and it was gone, even though I had locked the room when we left for breakfast. The cleaning lady had finished cleaning the room, and the $50 bill was gone. The manager was no help in getting the $50 back, nor did he offer a credit to my bill. read more

Oh my goodness what a lovely little gem. Our room was clean, and orderly. The room didnt smell, we had a nice kitchenette and just a lovely time. We will be staying here again soon. They are always booked and for goos reason. read more

I just stayed there last week (8.26-28). I had rm w/a single queen. It was clean, well maintained and located near several places to eat. Best of all it has a pool w/a 9' depth. Yeah. worked well for me as I am 5'10". The owner Doug was friendly on the phone (how i made my reservation) and in person. The prices are extremely reasonable and I would stay again and I recommend it to anyone who wants to stay on Route 66. read more

Great place to stay if it wasn't for the manager Sherry. The old hag of a manager is volatile! I heard her yelling and cussing at other guests that were staying in a room there. She is less than professional. She is very negatively opinionated, obnoxiously LOUD and rude!! I called to find out why the password wasn't working in my room and I was told that they didn't have internet in the back. that someone stole it a while back.. Seriously if you're going to promote you have free wifi and you cant log on, then don't advertise you have it. The wifi that I did get was less than desirable and hardly worked! Oh and don't mind the drunk that walks around the grounds watering the grass at night. If youre over 5 ft tall, dont get a room with a shower. Showers are horrible. People BEWARE! All the other staff was friendly and professional! read more

My family and I booked a room at the 20th Century Motor Lodge over the Thanksgiving holiday and weekend 2015. When we checked in, I was bothered to see that the grounds were under construction (they did not tell me this when I booked my room). The area right outside our room was tore up and yellow tape was marking the grounds around the sidewalk. In my mind I thought, "well.. we are just sleeping here so it should be fine...". That first night, around 11 pm, we began to hear very loud noises coming through the walls. We thought it was the people next door so we just did our best to settle in and go to sleep. At 5 am, the noises started up again. It woke me out of a dead sleep, it was so loud. It didn't stop. As we were driving out for the day, I stopped at the office to let them know of the situation and I was told that if it happened to again to call and they'd come and check it out. The next morning it started AGAIN around 5 am. I called the office and complained but they did nothing. Then, at about 8 am, construction workers began working RIGHT OUTSIDE our front door and window. Banging and scraping, digging and raking. This was a holiday weekend. We were on vacation and getting no sleep, no rest. We left again for the day (we were there visiting family in Glendora). That night when we returned to our room, the loud noises started AGAIN and they lasted all through the night and were still sounding into the early morning. We packed up and stopped in at the office. I spoke to the Manager/Owner about our stay and got no sympathy. She only got defensive. She told me that the noises were from the hot water heater that was damaged due to the construction. Really? So, they knew this but didn't tell us when we complained. They did not offer us a different room when we complained multiple times, nothing. I asked her why she was not upfront and honest with me when I booked my room about the construction and she had no answer but to say "no one else has complained". Standing in the office you will see a huge sign that says "No Refunds". That tells me right there that they have had plenty of complaints. I told her that I didn't feel it was right to be charged what we were to stay at a place under construction with a damaged water heater that made noises all through the night. No response. No sympathy. Nothing to try to make it right. So... just be leery if you stay here. If something goes awry, don't expect to be compensated, don't expect any sympathy or for them to take responsibility for it. read more
