Friendly Inn 2146 San Gabriel Boulevard, Rosemead, CA 91770

"I always like this motel but I was there the other night Thursday and there was a used tampon on the side of the toilet. I took a bag from the trash can and picked it up and sure enough. They really need to clean and check the rooms thoroughly. That’s why I’m giving it 3 stars My response to you: No i am not lying i did find a an used bloody tampon right next to the toilet . Obviously someone who was there before us left it behind because it was crusty when i picked it up. I have no reason to lie, my partner told me to just toss it in the trash which i did. But that had me thinking the person cleaning those rooms is not checking or not cleaning properly. I always liked this motel which is why i always request it when we need to stay at a motel, but im not going to be called a lair because im not. When i found the tampon it was passed midnight which is why i did not bother calling it in. Also i was not on my menstrual period either i was there to spend alone time with my partner so i was not in that time of the month. Instead of blaming your customers take the advice and have someone else check the work of the cleaning crew you have. I will not be coming back."

"Tweeker place women and men coming from different neighborhoods. They leave in the morning catching the bus home"

"Cheap and great place to stay. Only problem is that there's a bunch of crackheads here"

"The rooms are different decent and they're not cops friendly overall pretty cool place to get a room people in the office GREAT"

"I’ll start with the good: My ex and I were homeless for a few months and it was cheaper to stay here than anywhere else. Also, the staff were friendly. Wendy and Rene were super sweet and they’d help you fix almost any problem. Also, the two maintenance men are literally the sweetest peoplein the whole world. They even went out of their way to help my ex and I multiple times. HOWEVER; I’d still recommend that you don’t stay h! First off: if you’re there for more than a month (which isn’t most people) they have you move to another room roughly every 4 weeks. Also, none of the rooms have microwaves, there is only 1 communal microwave, which is in the lobby, which closes at 10 pm and sometimes even earlier. The rooms were absolutely DISGUSTING! Roaches infested the entire building and if there was anything wrong with the room, it was never actually fixed, just covered up. Even the shower curtains were covered in mold. The “security guards” were friendly but overall lousy. They’d constantly just be on their phones and they would even take naps sometimes. Also not the best part of town, my ex and I once woke up to a stand-off between two guys and a whole swat team. And finally, we talked to some of the staff and this place doesn’t even pay fair wages. They don’t pay their cleaning staff hourly, but instead by how many rooms they clean. For example, if a room is occupied they have to ask the tenant if they need anything such as towels or soap. If all of their tenants say no, they don’t get paid, but they still have to be there for their whole 8 hour shift."
