this airbnb is for a room in the alhambra hotel.
pros: in a very safe part of alhambra/LA metro, which is invaluable in itself in LA. free, safe parking which again is invaluable in LA. very close to pasadena, do not have to hop on any LA highways to get there. solid wifi made working remote very easy. close to costco gas which shaved off a good $.50 from anywhere else in LA. good water pressure in shower.
cons: breakfast bar is a little underwhelming. no filtered water station outside of the breakfast room which locks at 10am. asked a couple different people about late checkout but never got an answer. tv was satellite i think? idk i couldn’t really get it to work and there were no hdmi cables.
neither a pro or con: this is an hotel run by asian owners/workers. the level of service is excellent for a budget hotel but be patient with the language barrier.
pro tip: try nearby cha cha chili, the bulgogi chimichanga opened up new dimensions of taste i had never experienced before.
