    Very clean and reasonable! $44 for single bed + $10 deposit that you end up getting back anyway. Definitely recommend this place :)

I'm praying one day they come back. The convention was held at the Sheraton San Gabriel which was the perfect size for a smaller con without being too crowded and without being too oversized. There's free parking if you're okay walking from the 99 Ranch Market plaza or if you find it in the close by residential area. Looks nice inside, the panel rooms were smaller, but accommodate the smaller attendee population too. Internet connection for the event was fine. Acoustics in the ballroom and panel rooms, along with AV set up was good. Lobby area and some just standard hotel backdrop were perfect for photos. Love that it's walking distance from lots of delicious food options. Staff were friendly and venue was nice and clean. Restrooms were clean each and every time.

I could've stayed at the Le Méridien in Arcadia, but I picked the Sheraton instead because of that feature. At check-in, I specifically asked again about the pool temperature, and staff assured me it was always kept between 80-85 degrees. To my surprise, the pool was absolutely not heated. When I called the front desk, they first said, "Oh yes, it should be" and "It's always 83 degrees." Once I explained the water was clearly cold, they changed the story to "We turn it off during certain hours," then immediately corrected themselves and said they were "having technical difficulties." At that point, I was already disappointed. Then I tried using the hotel room phone, which barely worked. The staff member kept saying, "I can't hear you," and then hung up without even attempting to follow up or figure out what the guest needed. Other issues: * WiFi was extremely slow and unreliable * TV streaming/WiFi barely worked * TV remote was terrible -- buttons had to be pressed hard and had a 5-second delay * Shower water never got hot enough Overall, this was a bad experience from start to finish. The hotel looks nice and has all the fancy bells and whistles, but the actual experience was frustrating and disappointing. To top it off, during checkout, nobody seemed to care about the issues I experienced. They just told me the total for the bill and moved on. Will not be coming back.

    I always enjoy staying at this San Gabriel location. This is my fourth time. My friends and I are…read moreon a foodie road trip of mainly Asian food. My friends have been er been here, so I felt this was the best location especially since one of us is Chinese from Malaysia. It was nice because I was able to park at the Hilton honors spaces when available. At check in, Vincent was soft spoken, and courteous. He made sure my room was feather free as requested due to my asthma. Our room was ready when we arrived. Great since we were hungry, and we could drop off our luggage in the room before heading out. I always check round with my blacklight to see the cleanliness of a room. But the only reason I didn't give a five star this time was before I even checked with my blacklight, the curtains were open, and we saw dust caked on the dresser, lamp stand, and too of headboards. Unacceptable since two of my friends have allergies, and as an asthmatic I am allergic to three different dust mites. I called Vincent at the front desk and he immediately sent someone up. Now the train I have a four star and not a there is because of Linda from housekeeping. She said she understands because she has brothers who are asthmatic. When she saw how dusty the room was she also was appalled by the condition. Linda did a great job. Although we left a small to in the room for whoever will be cleaning next, we left something extra for Linda at the front desk. That being said the bathrooms were clean. Beddings clean but bed a little too hard for my liking. The other gals told me it was fine for them. We were going to try their dim sum restaurant downstairs, but we were pretty dim summed out, so we tried something different nearby.

This past year because our group was so large we were able to get a package deal that included cheaper parking and a simple continental breakfast. The breakfast was really helpful so that players and families could just go downstairs in the morning and eat before the games. The service for the most part was exceptional. Our organization loves to hang out in the lobby which gives everyone the chance to catch up and see how everyone did in their games. A person from the front desk even came around to make sure that we didn't need anything in our rooms while we were in the lobby. This was a first!!! Here's my only complaint. While hanging out at the pool we called several times to get towels at the pool and it took over an hour and when the towels came they were gone quickly and again we called several times to get more and again it took over an hour to get more towels. Beyond the pool towel issues our stay was amazing and we look forward to coming back here next year!

They even have Starbucks, Crystal Palace, and Five 55 bar and restaurant in the lobby so you won't get hungry and bored. I even love their interior and able to chill in the booths and tables with complimentary wifi. Even high school students know to go here to study. Lots of restrooms available on two floors. The rooms were clean, lotion and soap provided. I didn't like the body wash, shampoo and conditioner they had because they don't lather and I felt less clean than drugstore brands, so I preferred bringing your travel sized hair products and body wash. The shower flow was slow and there's no option to control it. I liked how the toilet has a bidet to clean your bottom; felt like I was in Japan for a while. If you need your room to be cleaned regularly, you must request room service yourself on the phone or at the front desk. All the concierge were friendly and attentive on providing services for us. Even the room service ladies were kind to provide clean towels, replace soaps, and an electric kettle to boil water. Make sure the mini fridge is on at the cooler setting by taking it out and setting the temperature at the rear, which was a pain in the butt. If you want to wash your clothes in the laundry room, you have to purchase your laundry detergent (preferred at Walgreens) and get tokens from the front desk. You'll be charged $5 laundry during checkout. I also got a chance to workout in the fitness room which was small, yet clean. Clean towels provided to wipe your sweat, complimentary earphones for your old iPhone/android, a water fountain to fill up your bottle, and sanitizing wipes for equipment. The pool and patio was nice to walk around and chill, but no one dared to swim in a 3 foot pool during spring, so I skipped that. Too bad there was no spa or sauna to relax since it's a 3-star hotel. Before my check out time, I took a chance to check out a local event happening in the ballroom. It was a SoCal Card Con where Pokémon and One Piece fans trade and purchase cards that can go over $1,000 for limited edition. Security was tight, but welcoming. I was able to befriend a few local card vendors as a Bay Area tourist lol. Overall, I would love to stay here when I visit Monterey Park. There's also a bus stop in front of Five 55 where you can go to LA and anywhere else with LA Metro. So convenient to travel and eat around.

I enjoyed the clean pool, and hot tub to unwind after a long day of exploring. I really appreciated the willingness to help when the refrigerator wasn't working. The front desk quickly sent someone to fix the fridge, and he carried the entire new fridge up to the room to discover that it simply hasn't been turned on. There were a few issues I came across, the shower never got hotter than lukewarm which was a bummer. Soundproofing was another, I could hear everything from water running through the walls, metal clanking from the floor above, constant hums from appliances. I stayed for 2 nights and I felt quite restless despite the bed and pillows being incredibly comfortable. Despite the issues, I still found it a comfortable stay and it was very convenient to explore the SGV area.

Also, the women's restroom in the lobby was disgusting and had no toilet paper in the stalls and overflowing waste baskets. One staff member, who appeared to be in a supervisory or managerial role, was consistently rude, dismissive, and made assumptions about guests without bothering to gather any information first. Before even asking why people were there, she seemed to automatically assume that anyone sitting in the lobby of Asian descent was simply waiting for a restaurant table. It came across as unwelcoming and unnecessarily confrontational. What bothered me most was how our family was treated. We have toddler twins who cannot even speak yet. They were doing what toddlers do--smiling, giggling, and reacting to the world around them. Yet we were made to feel as though their mere presence and laughter were unacceptable. She rudely asked me "Can you control your twins?" She clearly has not had any children or been around any because you simply can't control two rambunctious toddlers who don't follow instructions well yet. There is a difference between addressing genuinely disruptive behavior and showing zero patience or grace toward families with young children. A hotel lobby is a shared space for hotel guests and visitors alike, not a library where parents are expected to keep nonverbal toddlers completely silent. Hospitality starts with making people feel welcome. Instead, we felt judged, stereotyped, and treated like an inconvenience from the moment this staff member interacted with us.
