    I did park my car inside because I wasn't planning to go anywhere. I stayed here because we were going to AGT auditions down the street. The hotel is really nice inside and outside. The room was huge, I really liked this place. The only thing I have an issue with is the pricing on the food and drinks, $23 for a hotel cocktail is insanely expensive. We did sit at the bar and ordered a pizza which was really good but also like $20 I think, we got beer because the guy said they wanted to get rid of them so they were $8 each. I did think about ordering a cocktail until we saw the pricing and also didn't because this group that came from a wedding were being loud and singing and banging on the counter. I liked the bed, I wish it had more pillows and definitely need to be fluffy. Also the water pressure sucked, and I didn't understand the shower, the way the handle inside was setup was weird and in the way. Overall the stay was nice and it is close to Pasadena conference center, just wish it was close to bars or restaurants where you can walk to at night.

    Booked an overnight stay here this year. Central location, near Old Town Pasadena and the Convention Center. Has standard Hilton amenities, an outdoor pool, fitness and business center, onsite restaurant, a mini mart and digital key option. There is EV charging stations and underground parking, available. The King room I reserved was clean, large flatscreens, mini fridge and balcony. A seamless process from check-in to check out.

    This review is solely based on The Corner, the restaurant here. Came with a rather large party (11 of us), and the staff were able to accommodate us with no problem. Our server was helpful and attentive, and didn't even break a sweat while helping our large party. The menu prices are a little expensive considering what you're ordering, but you're paying more for the convenience. I tried a little bit of the steak tostada salad that someone else ordered, and I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty and juicy the steak was. If we ever come back here, the steak tostada is what I'm ordering. One added perk is if you're a guest using the pool, they can bring your food out to the pool area. Also if you're not feeling like valet parking, there is metered parking across the street.

    Good service, friendly and courteous all throughout the hotel Room was clean and comfortable Pool was heated. Gets cold after about 7pm though. The outdoor pool patio furniture is incredibly dated and has stains all over every chair or lounge piece (see pics). Didn't want to sit on it. Hilton can definitely afford to update this. Appreciated the beach towels provided by the pool and was replenished No free parking. Paid valet available in front. Or you can find street parking or many garages nearby (check prices, some cost just as much as valet)

    This Hilton Pasadena is a great place to stay if you are attending a conference here. Very convenient to attend and rest. Another great feature is the hotel is centrally located near downtown Pasadena, City Hall and close to a lot of freeways. This is an older hotel so I did experience some issues with the bath tub/shower in room 305. I was attending the conference and was busy all day and evening so I didn't have time to notify the front desk of this issue. I did however, eat at their restaurant downstairs, The Corner Craft Kitchen + Bar. While I was eating the manager came over to ask how my meal was and how my stay has been so far and I expressed to him about the issue with the shower. He immediately called the maintenance team and had them fix my issue while I was eating. I had two meals at their restaurant and both meals were delicious and the staff provided great customer service. One thing I did not appreciate was the parking situation. The hotel has a separate company managing the parking. So you can not charge the parking to your portfolio. You have to pay separately. There's also not a lot of information about parking rates as well. So when I first got there, I didn't elect the all day parking which is $25 and so it kept charging me every time I kept going in and out until I finally figured it out. A $45 mistake. Therefore, I recommend just getting the all day self parking for $25. If I were to come back here again, I would probably choose valet parking which is $30 and save yourself some walking. The parking garage is a little far and through the convention center side of the hotel so it is a bit of a walk. But all in all I did enjoy myself at this hotel because the staff was so friendly but it is an older hotel with not so great parking options.

    Nice Hilton in the downtown Pasadena area. Perfect location if you're attending a show at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. (in our case AGT). It's literally just a few blocks away. There's a coffee shop/restaurant right around the corner from the hotel that's really convenient as well. Front desk staff were very friendly. They were kind to let me check in a bit early, which was especially nice since I had flown across the country and couldn't get a later arrival. Always love that you have to use your room key to activate the elevator for security purposes. My room with a king bed was very comfortable, clean and had a nice view. Pool fans, take note that their outdoor pool is relatively small, and has two dragonflies that apparently live there along with a few wasps. The dragonflies, although totally harmless, literally just circle over and over, sometimes together, sometimes apart. Kids were slightly annoyed by them but the wasps really did them in from wanting to swim anymore. I only had one meal in the hotel restaurant and it was very good. Will review separately.

    5 Star Service is rare nowadays. When I get it, not only do I feel valued and appreciated. I want to let others know that this is a place I Highly Recommend. From the Central location, to the balconies with great views, I not only enjoyed my stay, but extended it. Thanks to the staff for making me feel welcome! Highly Recommend!

    No complaints! I didn't use the gym so I can say. But the room was nice and spacious. Clean. Check out was easy. Close to a lot of things you for eating and shopping!

    The El Dorado Suite  - 1101
    Diana H.

    What a wonderful hotel and staff! I'm a business traveler who prefers a high floor to keep away from road noise. I was initially assigned a room on the 2nd floor and texted the front desk through the app to see if it was possible to have my room moved up. Not only did they move me up to the 11th floor, but I was also given the El Dorado Suite, a beautiful executive suite! Terrie at the Front Desk was super - a special shout out! The Suite was lovely and clean with balconies and two separate sitting rooms. I will be returning to Pasadena in October for 2 nights and will definitely be staying here again!

    See all

The front desk staff seriously needs additional training in customer service, problem solving, and basic guest relations. I specifically booked and paid extra for a pool view room, and I also explained during check-in that I am handicapped and would appreciate a room near the parking garage entrance for accessibility purposes. Instead, not only was I placed far from the garage entrance, but my room was downgraded to one facing the street despite paying more for the upgraded view. As a Marriott Gold Elite member, I would expect attentive service and, if anything, consideration for an upgrade based on availability -- not being charged more for a downgraded experience. What made the situation even worse was the attitude I received when I called to address the issue. Rather than showing empathy or offering any apology, I was treated as though I was the inconvenience. After having to walk all the way back down to the front desk, the "solution" was to place me in a room that was essentially the farthest possible location on the opposite side of the parking garage. After more than 15 years of loyalty to this hotel, this experience completely severed that relationship for me. It's disappointing to see the level of hospitality and guest care decline so dramatically.

In Pasadena, your best bang for the buck is always this place. And over the last couple years that decision was made because of one person - Alexa.

I book through a 3rd party app (sorry, job thing for the points) so I book then call to request that room. In years past Alexa and I had just exchanged the typical check-in pleasantries and that was all. Pleasant, courteous and informative with any of my Q's. But I switched jobs and hadn't been back in the area for about a year. Now I'm back and my territory now includes SoCal again. I booked, and called. Alexa picked up and without me even telling her my name first she informed me that she'd seen the booking and knew that this guest (from a year prior!) preferred a particular room and had already put me in that one. This has happened a few times since and each time, I'm still impressed. I don't expect this nor should anyone. For someone that's on the road as often as I am, I see a lot of faces at hotels and they blur together after awhile so I assume it's similar on their end. But I really just have to say it's so rare to have someone who has a 'few times a year' 30-second exchange with me be so good at her job that I'd never go anywhere else. And when I'm doing business in the area, I rave. Apart from that - very clean rooms. Everything works as it should. Parking is ample and safe.

She told me that I would have to wait until after 9:30 or 10 am and speak with David, the GM. I called at 11:21 am and told another man there what happened and he told me to speak with David at 3pm. I spoke with David at 3:29pm and told him that I had planned to be there when the room was ready but, I had serious vehicle issues and no way to get to the hotel. I mentioned that I tried to call, no one answered, and that I finally spoke with Mary, who told me that I had to speak with him. He said that Mary starts at 11pm and I should have called sooner. I explained that had I not been stuck across town without transportation and dealing with serious vehicle issues, I would have but, I did try to communicate as soon as I could. I told him that I just wanted to be able to stay for one night to use the one night for which I paid. It is unfortunate because, even though this place was not the best, most well kept hotel, it was conveniently located and most of the staff, up to this point, seemed nice enough. At this point, I have no interest in ever staying here again. I would just like a full refund.

It's kind of dangerous with the traffic on Colorado Blvd. Best bet is to temporarily park and enter on Mentor. We loaded up our bags in the cart and checked in. Then parked the car. The parking garage is around the corner on Mentor. My first red flag is the parking pass didn't work and I grabbed a ticket to get in. Got that cleared but the time when I was given the pass and when I got to the entrance, it didn't activate. It also deactivated post checkout when I was leaving the garage/ When I checked in, I asked for room service for our entire stay and NO one showed up during our entire stay! More on that later. Room is on the small side but they made up for it with the shower. The shower was the best part of our stay. However, it would have been nice to have clean towels. I was disappointed we didn't get house keeping the next day, but I asked for towels and bar soap at the desk and when we got back to our room (they never showed up) or left anything in front of our door. On the second day, we made sure the service light was on and Private light was off. When we got to our room, we came back to a messy room and NO towels. By then, we're upset. When our towels arrived, they were so ratty that I would use these as our thrash towels at home. Imagine toweling off with that because I did. This is where things get really sketchy. Don't leave out a menu for a $9 beer and charge us $12. The bartender says her manager didn't change the menu but there was a price change. Honor the price listed! That is illegal. I don't mind paying the listed price, but the audacity to upcharge $3 and expect a tip. The housekeeping experience made us check out early. There was no point hanging in a messy room. I usually tip housekeeping but there was no need for me to do so on this visit.
