About
Mt. Gleason Motorlodge
Mt. Gleason Motorlodge sits on Foothill Boulevard in Los Angeles, a classic motor lodge that leans into its mid-century roadside heritage. The property keeps things simple: free parking, 24-hour reception, and rooms that are noticeably larger than the average hotel box. Several room types include a kitchen, which makes it practical for longer stays or anyone who prefers to cook their own meals.
The vibe is honest and unpretentious, with a retro character that guests compare to motels from classic American road-trip movies. It's a 5-minute walk from The Hub Community A Vineyard Church and about 25 minutes on foot from Bolton Hall Museum. With solid scores for staff (7.8) and general comfort, the lodge is a dependable choice for travellers who value space, convenience, and a bit of nostalgia over boutique frills.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Roomy retro rooms — Guests repeatedly mention the generous size of the rooms and the nod to classic American motel style, a detail that adds character.
- Kitchens in many rooms — Several room types come with a full kitchen – microwave, full-size refrigerator, sink – making meal prep easy and a real plus for longer stays.
- Convenient location — A short walk to a bus stop and close to restaurants, outlets, and markets, so you're never far from what you need.

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Street noise possible — The motel sits on Foothill Boulevard, a main road. Guests say the AC drowned out the traffic for the most part, but if you're sensitive to noise, bring earplugs or run the AC.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 18:00, so if you're arriving late, you'll need to plan accordingly.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a furry companion, this isn't the place – the policy is no pets.
