We picked this hotel for its central location with driving times under 30 minutes to all places we wanted to see, for example the Huntington Library Garden. We didn't select this hotel for coziness. Its immediate neighbors being drive thru fastfood chain, a supermarket and a gas station all very practical but not charming. We always had plenty parking space and enjoyed the choice in Asian food found all over Alhambra. The minimal breakfast provided by TJ is OK we upgraded some of it with our own bought items from the supermarket.
