"We had a good stay. One thing i miss, since we have stayed there several times, they used to make scrambled eggs for breakfast and they seemed have stopped. Go back to scrambled eggs. Other than that it was all good. "
"We’ve stayed here now two years in a row for kcon! It’s our favorite hotel we’ve ever stayed in. The staff is always very nice and helpful. The rooms are big and clean. It’s not too bad of a walk to the conventions center too so it’s a perfect place to stay! We will always come back here each year for kcon! "
"The room was very clean, the shower was amazing. The staff is very friendly. The parking was hassle free. The hotel is within 5 miles of Universal Studios, which was central to our trip."
"The pool water is dirty and the jacuzzi didn't work, the floor of my room 107 was broken and very damaged, everything else was super good, they have a great staff in the lobby, they are very friendly and efficient."
"I really enjoyed my stay here. The cleanliness of the rooms and overall hotel was 10/10. Not only does it look clean but you can smell the cleanliness in the rooms, the bed covers even in the lobby bathroom. The rest I got was the best because of the cleanliness. The hotel rooms are very nice themselves, I liked the style/decor of the room.
Also the front desk agents are very accommodating and helpful. Very easy check in and check out. I would book with this hotel again and recommend it to...
"The hotel is under renovation on the ground floor which make guests uncomfortable with the air pollution and very dusty. The construction haven’t protected the environment and guests."
![Professor Lowe had a dream to make the beautiful Mountains overlooking the cities of Altadena / Pasadena accessible to average citizens. After much planning, many exploratory trips on horseback, he and Engineer Thomas McPherson located a series of routes that could be built upon with a series of rail cars to reach miles back into the forest and eventually all the way to the top of Mount Wilson. Financing the project himself, Professor Lowe proceeded to build his dream which eventually reached all the way to the base of Mount Lowe (named after Professor Lowe, previously known as Oak Mountain). At its peak, it was the top honeymoon destination in America. Beginning with the famous red car lines in California, Professor Lowe extended the line up through the rolling hills in Rubio Canyon where a small hotel was built at the base of new incline rail systems that would take a visitor up a mile along a ridge overlooking the LA Basin to the top of Echo Mountain.
The top of Echo Mountain became a little city of its own with places to eat, order picnic lunches, shop at stores, dormitories for employees, power generating station to power Echo Mountain facilities. There was also a trolley repair building and pit, observation decks at various spots, trails that could be taken by hikers both up and down the mountain and into the Alpine regions, tennis courts, stables and a now little known zoo. The entire assembly of buildings were painted white and because of the view from far below, became known as "The White City in the sky". The “opera box” great incline cars were also white and could be seen from afar ferrying up and down the hill. On a ridge behind the Echo Mountain ridge was an observatory building with a working 16 inch telescope housed in a round domed building. The foundations can still be found at the site as well as the cement stand which is what the telescope was mounted upon. It was Professor Lowe's intention to build the rail system all the way to the top of Mount Wilson along with additional hotels and facilities on the top of Mount Wilson. Later, much of the path of the large 100" telescope and observatory built on Mount Wilson was used to transport the delicate 100" mirror to the top of Mount Wilson.
