Juan M.

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

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.

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.

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!

When you go to a Hampton Inn, you are assured a familiar standard in your experience. This one is…read moreno different compared to others. I've stayed at many Hampton Inns through the years to confidently say that. I'm not from this area but just from driving around it looks like a fine area. Lots of stuff around (restaurants, eateries, fast food, the mall, etc). I guess only con is it looks like there is constant traffic as it seems to be a hub for lots of amenities for the area. With that said the property looks kept up well. The lobby is pleasant and warm. Front desk person at 11PM was still energetic and professional. I didn't check all the amenities as this was a 1 night quick rest stop, but I did see an outdoor pool that closes at 9PM (not sure if heated) and no separate hot tub. The halls to the rooms are bright and dont look eerie at all. The rooms are fairly up to date being very utilitarian and functional. Tiny--by today's standards TV. Conveniently placed outlets with USB ports. There are 2 desks to work on. There are the ever so important microwave and minifridge with coffee maker. Beds and linens were up to par--both being good and comfortable. The HVAC system was adequate with a noticeable hum but no rattles. AC blows nice and cold--period. The bathroom is small, functional, and seems more recently updated than the room itself. Toilet seat is still the cheap low height. Con so far is the following: The bathroom door is a barn door. It serves to close the built in closet when bathroom door is open, and close the bathroom door itself when it use. It has a nice mirror to check yourself out. HOWEVER, there is NO LOCK ON THE BATHROOM BARN DOOR. So when you go to use the bathroom, you slide the barndoor shut but there is nothing preventing shared guests to simply go in there when in use. Bring back the standard door, as in this case function trumps fashion. As with all Hampton Inns--breakfast is included. It's the usual faire and quality if you have been to a Hampton Inn property before. Not much has changed in that for a decade or more. It's doable. Lots of carbs/breads/starches, yogurt, egg, potatoes, coffee, cereal, make your own waffle, etc. Overall another pleasant stay, but not perfect.

I…read morewanted to preface this that I've stayed at many Townplace Suites/Springhill Suites/Residence Inn's and am used to the extended-stay properties, and I mention that because I don't expect the type of service and amenities as a fancier property. The services at this Residence Inn got the job done. - The units are in outdoor townhouse style units as opposed to in one big building. - The room was clean, nothing broken. I used the stove and kitchen supplies to cook to keep my food costs lower. - I didn't opt in for housekeeping but I could always get supplies (e.g. toilet paper) with a call to the front desk. - I brought my small dogs and they have a grass area dogwalk-type path in the back of the units which was convienient. I like the dog-friendliness of these extended stay hotels. - Their complementary breakfast with some hot items, yogurt, granola, cereal, toast/pastries wasn't out of this world but got the job done. This place is right in the heart of Downtown Arcadia and there are plenty of food and drink options within walking distance (like Lan Noodles). The location in Arcadia is easy to get around in the San Gabriel Valley as wel as access the major freeways. The main thing I wanted to mention is on my stay, we forgot an item in our room, a handheld theragun massage tool. I realized it after we already got back to the Bay Area and called the hotel, the GM Izzy said she's check, and 30 minutes later I got a call back that they found it. Izzy put me in touch with her Assistant Manager Mary Jean and said if we paid for a UPS Shipping Label and sent it to them, they would pack up our item so it could get to us. That kind of customer service is a little bit above and beyond so I appreciate they were so helpful because it's easy for things to get lost or thrown away by accident in a cleanup. I think we'll consider staying there again, it also depends on timing and cost.

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!!!

If you want to tour the hotel, follow Craig Owens of Haunted by History on Instagram (@bizarre_los_angeles) as he gives tours here. I believe he's taking a break currently but if you get a chance, his tours are excellent and very thorough (he has participated in multiple paranormal investigations here, researched the hotel thoroughly for years, and spent several nights in its rooms). 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!
