“Saga Motor Hotel clearly embraces its Route 66 roots, offering a slice of mid-century America in Pasadena. The palm-lined pool courtyard creates a striking visual, one that makes you feel like you have stepped back in time. While some may find the decor a bit dated, others will appreciate the commitment to the hotel's original aesthetic.”
