Siesta Inn — Hotel in El Monte

Its clean, rooms pretty nice for the outside of the motel and people that live in the motel. Its quiet. Good location. Its family owned. And a cheap price However for me personally I'm from Pasadena so I have friends that would come to pick me up and some would hangout for a bit. You are not allowed to have visitors, they dont want people to be visiting after 6pm or even before that. I was leaving with a friend around 3 or 4 and was stopped by the owner and asked what happened to my partner and how many people i had in my room after explaining myself he let me and my friend go. Then that night after being dropped off and hanging out waiting for my ride, my friend came up we chatted for a bit then left to get food and I was again stopped asked how many people i had in my room, and was told about the a 6pm rule. He was however arguing with my friend who asked if I was not allowed to have visitors. I just said okay we were already leaving anyways to get him to stop speaking to my friend and let us go. I followed the 6pm no visitors rule by bringing two friends the next day around 2pm. The son of the owner (I'm assuming) stopped us halfway up the stairs and said we aren't allowed to have a lot of people in the room, we can't have too many visitors. He wouldn't let up until I told him the exact thing I was told yesterday which is that I was told no visitors after 6pm. My friends aren't loud and we had no complaints from our friendly neighbors. The management is too nosey for my liking and unprofessional. I gave it three stars for the cleanliness, location, the price and how nice...

Rooms are small but clean hardwood floors are nice and the plumbing works excellent. TVs are bigger than normal which is nice. No problems with management, very polite and helpful. Drawbacks are mainly one: You are in the middle of South El Monte, Lots of gang members in and around the area, its a wise idea to keep this in your mind...

The 1 star is for there cheap pricing but you have to remember your in the hood... other than that the rooms are somewhat alright i guess.. the rude owner assigns you a room on how you look and charges you based on how you look ex dirty,clean,rich,poor. And make shure your out by checkout time on the dot or else you...
