4 reviews for Radisson Suites Hotel Covina
My friends came down from up North and stayed here.
This hotel is better then what I expected. Located off the 10 freeway. The swimming pool patio/ area was very calming, WHen you walk in you have a small living room with a flat screen tv ,mounted on the wall. Two couches a small dinning table and a mini bar with a small refrig. Walk through another door is the bedroom and the bathroom. The rooms were roomy, it has another tv, a queen size bed with those select comfort firmness with the remote control air bed. Two controllers for both side of the bed. Sliding glass doors to a tiny balcony that you cannot stand outside.. lol
Both TVs come with gaming controllers for games at additional charges for the games. Pay per view but free cable and free internet.
Overall the rooms was very comfortable, cozy and clean.
The only cons is it is away from any shops or stores. No walking distance to any business facility or restaurants. :-(

You'd think I'd give take some stars away for the wireless internet being spotty, but no, I was really, really thankful actually. I perhaps even thought God may have been smiling on me.
You see, I had this test which a certain newspaper calls "the Mt. Everest" of what I do and my total study hours fell far short of the minimum recommended 350 -- because, oh, about 300 of them had been spent on Yelp Talk arguing about everything from if chivalry was dead or not to the in's and out's of erotic asphyxiation. Oh. Hey. Unintentional pun. 'Love those!
No, really. If you're not a Yelper and someone who's actually just looking for an honest appraisal of the Radi-Covina (because countless families in Florida must be drooling over brochures sent to them by the C-Town Chamber of Commerce), stay off -- I repeat -- stay off Yelp Talk! You'll find yourself postponing gym appointments because you're caught up mid-discussion. Significant others will leave you when you stop paying attention to them, and you won't call your parents back. You'll say "oh, wow, is it 2pm already? I guess I forgot to eat" because you were on Talk and you'll convince yourself that that blurriness and nausea isn't REALLY an ambulance-necessitating stroke because, hey, you just made a really good point in that fake boobs thread and you can't wait to see how _______ __. responds to that infallible logic. Yeah, suck it ______ __!
What's worse, that wasn't my only distraction. Everyone kept wanting me to go out and drink, and while my best college testing was done while drunk -- since, like driving, you do it extra, extra well to overcompensate (not that I drive drunk!) -- I think I've killed a few too many neurons in the interim and am off my game.
So aaanyways, what does one do when they need to get away from it all? Why, hole them self up in a hotel in the middle of BFE (apologies to all Covina residents), far, far from anything that would even resemble nightlife, alcohol, or women.
Or so I thought.
Now, it could have been delirium from not having slept. It could have been the neurological reaction to unprecedented levels of BRC (blood-redbull content). Or, maybe it was a mirage because a twenty-something male can only read about Macaulay Durations for so long before his mind reverts back to the default male thought of ........... boobs. ("So long" meaning roughly 10 seconds or so). But I swear to you at about 11pm that Friday, that hotel turned into South Padre as a group of 30 high schoolers/college kids rented out several suites and decided to throw a de-facto poolside kegger. What people were doing having fun in Co-fucking-vina on a Friday night I have no idea, but I saw it with my own two eyes. Which is just what I need when I'm coming back from my car where I left my calculator. Girls saying they have Jack and that I should stop by suite ###.
Scratch that part about God smiling down at me. He was doing the usual pointing and laughing.
"What the fuck, John M, I'm a family from Orlando and I got this glossy brochure extolling the beauty of the Eastern San Gabriel Valley and I'd really like to know what you thought about the hotel already!" Oh, sorry. Umm, service was about on par for a 3-star, rooms were quaint and have been renovated, use Hotwire to book it ($60/night = score!), yell at them if they say all the double Queens have been sold out, yadda yadda yadda, photos here: http://www.expedia.com..., sleep number bed is comfy (I like setting 7), apparently people throw hotel parties on Friday nights in December... WHY ARE YOU STAYING IN COVINA WHEN L.A. IS 30 MINUTES AWAY?!
Long story short, I gave into temptation. *Sigh* I know. I know. But thankfully, the internet was spotty so even though I desperately tried to get on to Yelp Talk, it was too much of a hassle. What, you thought I was talking about the girls? Pshaw, no, they were from the Valley! Well, A valley anyway, but close enough. Didn't want to risk it.
PLUS I was too distracted with a certain exam. And by that, I mean constantly clicking http://yelp.com/talk. Here's to hoping the success rate there isn't a foreshadowing.

Interesting...This Suites is really new. So new that some part of the hotel hasn't been finished yet.
Huge room bedrooms - 1 flat screen tv in the living room, comfortable chairs, dinning table. The tv comes w/ Games for Kids (extra charge), movies (extra charge), free cable & free internet.
The room was also nice. 2 beds fited perfectly w/ room to spare.
The only thing is that there isn't much stuff going on in the area...pretty much out of the way. Also, most of the staffers are nice, just 1 night swift dude wasn't so........"willing to help".
Comfortable bed. Decent size room. Okay service at the front desk. The in house restaurant was dead. That's always a bad sign. Did not eat at Blake's. (Bad yelp reviews). Would stay again fo sho.
