    Great service and drinks at the pool
    Carla G.

    Pasadena Hotel and Pool is a beautiful historic property where clear attention has been given to the design of both the lobby and the rooms, creating a unique and comfortable experience. The hotel was very clean, and the front desk staff was excellent--Daniel, in particular, was extremely helpful when we checked in late at night. I also want to acknowledge the young woman working during the day (I forgot her name), who was equally helpful. One unusual and disappointing aspect of our stay was the lack of an on-site manager. There was no manager present during the entire weekend, so if any issues came up, they could not be resolved immediately. We were told we would need to wait until a manager was available, but no one could say exactly when that would be. The bar and lounge area is large and inviting, with plenty of space and even games to play. The bar stays open until 10:30 p.m., which is a nice touch. However, lunch is not served at the hotel, which I think is a disservice to guests and a missed opportunity for the hotel. The highlight--and true saving grace--of the hotel is the pool. The pool area is relaxing and well-maintained. Poolside service was excellent, and the young women serving drinks and food were amazing and very attentive. One concern I hope management addresses is the elevator. It is very slow and, during my stay, I actually got stuck in it for about five minutes. I informed the front desk, and they said they would contact engineering, but I did not see any maintenance happening the entire weekend. Another inconvenience is the lack of valet or bellhop services. You'll need to park in the underground garage, then go to the lobby to get a luggage cart and bring your bags in yourself. If you're traveling with a lot of luggage or need assistance, this could be a hassle. The rooms themselves were extremely clean with a modern and stylish design. Each room includes a refrigerator, but no microwave. There are shared microwaves on some floors, but not all, and ice machines are also only available on different floors. I would stay again but only if my first and second choice in the area was not available.

    I stayed at the Pasadena Hotel and Pool for 2 days for a work meeting nearby. The hotel was decent. A little dark, but got the job done. If you are sensitive to noise, this may not be the place for you. I grew up near a train, so I was fine. However, I think if you're sensitive to noise in the evening, this may not be the place. The staff were responsive and helpful. I didn't explore the pool or eat at the hotel (there's so much good food in the area though). For a decent place to stay and in a prime location, this works well.

    Andrew, Terry and Grace took such good care of me! Looking for a quick getaway and a change of pace I found this gem nestled in the San Gabriel mountains, near old town Pasadena and so many shops and eateries! It's a walkers dream. There's so many things that you can do by foot and there's a lot of amazing hiking. This is a beautiful hotel with old school charm fantastic service delicious food even better drinks and great customer service all of the things that I appreciate and love when I stay somewhere! Do not underestimate the beauty of this place. The outside is understated... I mean, don't get me wrong that beautiful crown moldings and it's a historic hotel. But once you get inside your transported into a time capsule of the past present and future, it is an amazing place and I highly recommend!

    This was a cute stay for a local rose bowl concert. Super close and convenient. Local coffee shops, brunch spots and more just steps away or can get food in lobby or the attached taco joint. Very nice pool deck, helpful staff and clean rooms. Nothing crazy fancy but a nice spacious experience

    The mattress with a visible stain.

    The mattress was visibly stained, as shown in the attached photo. When I reported the issue to the front desk, they stated they would notify housekeeping; however, no alternative room, bed, or other accommodations were offered to address the inconvenience. I was very disappointed with the condition of the facility and its overall upkeep.

    We found this place on Resort Pass. Other than having to pay for parking, this place was nice and relaxing for a Saturday. Rooftop pool with a bar cart that comes out at noon. The Pool Day drink was the best. They also served food after noon.

    A good day to Bbad!

    ### 2024 review 30/100 ### Long time Angeleno but still so many places we discover still. On the far East edge of Pasadena is the Pasadena Hotel that we discovered while on our quest for the best breakfast burritos. BBAD (Breakfast Burritos All Day) is located inside the hotel and they provide a free 2-hour parking validation. It's the perfect staycation with rooftop pool to lounge around, and even the gym room that we may or may not have been motivated to fit in a workout session. Best feature for us foodies, we had the option to not only order from the hotel menu but also order from BBAD. We really enjoyed their elevated Breakfast Burritos served until 2pm daily (except Monday and Tuesday when they're closed) filled with fluffy eggs (scrambled or over easy) and stuffed with their famous crispy pavé cubed potatoes + delicious coffee drinks.

    Got to stay here for a night and loved it! I was looking for a place to stay for the night in Pasadena and found this hotel through booking.com and booked with them. For $176 out the door on that website I secured a Premier Corner King Room and it far exceeded all my excpectations! I checked in on a Saturday morning in December of 2024 and to my suprise at 11:40am, they had a room ready and lets us check in. Check in isn't until 3 pm so we were really stoaked about this. We got room 605 and it was a huge room for us me and my wife but we loved it. Giant soaking tub with seperate shower. Decor was super cute and fun. The king bed was so comfy!! For $176, it was a steal in my opinion. The hotel has a heated pool, fooseball table, cheese table, and a fantastic lively bar that opens in the afternoons. Loved how the lobby was decorated for Christmas, it was a whole vibe. The hotel itself is truly gorgeous, don't sleep on this place if your looking for a hotel in the Pasadena area. Parking is $29 a night, parking was attached to the hotel so that was a big plus for us. Thanks for the great hospitality Pasadena Hotel, till next time!

    I had to come through the Pasadena Hotel and Pool, in order to get breakfast from bbad. After parking and entering this wonderfully appointed hotel (at least 6 floors and over 100 rooms). I was very impressed at the elegant lay out of the lobby, with small and different sitting areas. Uncluttered decor, uncrowded spaces. A relaxing vibe. There is a nice open courtyard. Since I was enchanted by this unique environment (posh, yet boutique), I approached the lady at one of the reception stands to ask some questions about prices, accommodations and the like. Her attitude was unsettling. There was zero enthusiasm. In short, what I received was an unfriendly, why are you talking to me, canned response: "It is all on line". So I turned around and proceeded to the breakfast joint (that separate review appears on this platform).

    We were attending an event at the Rose Bowl and flying into Burbank, so we decided to stay here because it's super close to both. After checking-in we went for a walk and realized there's tons of restaurants and food options within 1 block of the hotel. There's also a nearby Target and traveling with a kids it helped so much. So this hotel is ideal. Now for the hotel itself. Overall, cool hotel and under lots of renovation so I expect some nice upgrades soon. The pool is nice not deep 4.1/2ft at the deepest point. But seating is limited so get out there early. Small poolside bar is also convenient. The lobby has cool coffee shop called BBAD and really good "breakfast burritos all day (BBAD)". The rooms are small and unique that the bathroom is right next to the bed with fogged glass. So whoever you're staying with, get comfortable because you'll see and hear just about everything hahaha. We will stay here again. 8 of 10

    Beautiful Historical Hotel. Easy parking and check-in pool was large and clean, gym was great and well equipped. Lobby bar has great drinks and great lounging spots. Courtyard was a great spot to enjoy a coffee. Room was snug but comfortable. Lots of spots to eat within walking distance and a theater and comedy club close by.

    Amazing customer service. Easton Fires started Jan 7th and were mandatory evacuated out of Sierra Madre at around 8pm. We weren't prepared and finally got out around 10pm with essentials and our 2 small dogs. We first headed out in Monrovia but Monrovia was totally blacked out. Hotels were available but we weren't going to stay in a total blacked out room. We then headed west and was going all along Colorado. We went to probably 14 or15 motels and all were fully booked or didn't allow dogs. We were losing hope but found Pasadena Hotel & Pool. It was around 1am Wednesday now and we tried our luck. Thank God they were able to accommodate. They hooked us up with a Premier Room. Due to the evacuation circumstances, they were able to hook it up for two nights at a discount for 189.00 instead of the 299.00 rate. It was an additional $75 each for our dogs The room was spacious. The King bed was more than enough for me and hubby. And both of us are big boys 265 lbs each. Bed was comfortable. The thing my hubby loved the most was the heated toilet seat and is a self cleaning toilet as well (uv cleaning). The front desk staff was great. We were able to extend twice and will be leaving Saturday morning as evacuation has been lifted in our specific area of Sierra Madre Again the customer service was top notched. On Friday nite the hotel offered a free set meal for all guests due to the fire evacuations. Short rib and rice and a scone for dinner with a free drink too. We got bottled water . Lived in LA all my life and never knew this gem existed. The pool area looked amazing but unfortunately was closed for refurbishment. Will love to come back here for a quick weekend getaway

    Hello
    Zsanae K.

    This hotel is picturesque. I loved the pool and the shower in the rooms. They have robes that you can use during your stay. The rooms are small and the walls are thin. The hotel is very clean. In the mornings they have Starbucks coffee & drinks. We enjoyed our stay here.

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. Here's the thing - I like a particular room on the ground floor because it's easy to load all my work materials in and out. 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. Just wanted to take the time to share my experience to let the owner know that, through the years, she's really done a lot to make me feel welcome and taken care of. They're lucky to have her.

I had an important appointment across town that I needed to keep so, I left to get to the appointment and expected to get back to the hotel around the time that the room became available. Unfortunately, I encountered serious vehicle issues and was not able to get back to the hotel. I also did not want to get stuck in the dark trying to get across town to the hotel. I tried to call the hotel later that evening but, it just kept ringing and ringing, until it timed out, and I was never able to reach anyone. Early the next morning (April 26th), I tried calling again but, it still just kept ringing until it timed out. I was finally able to physically go to the hotel and speak with Mary a bit after 2am. 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.
