    Fantastic service from checkin to checkout. They were very welcoming and accomodating. The room was clean and looked well maintained. The service at the bar was also amazing. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this location.

    Customer Sevice was extremely lacking, the check-in process for our group was extremely challenging out of the 20 individuals that stayed in our group, 6 of them had major issues with reservations. Starting with confirmations not being found, rooms were not ready far beyond the standard check-in time or they were dirty upon arrival. The coffee shop in the lobby serving "Starbucks" is extremely disgusting, expensive, being served from an automated vending machine, that tastes like it has been cleaned in months The highlight to the trip was my room, it was lovely and I was one of the lucky ones to not have any issues with my room.

    I definitely would recommend this hotel the Westin in Pasadena because there is no expensive valet parking. The place is very nice. Wonderful restaurant. Customer service is great. It was a lovely place to walk around safe very lit up very clean. Customer service was good. Nothing outstanding or anything that I noticed it was above and beyond, but it was good no complaints.

    I was so not expecting this to be a bad hotel but I was wrong, it says daily parking is $19 but they don't tell you you can't leave or they will charge you again for that day.Then it says complementary breakfast but that also is false. Then my bedding was dirty. They tried to put the dirty part of my comforter at the foot of the bed so I wouldn't see it. I would not recommend this place. The hotel itself is nice but the website is not true or accurate.

    Our stay at the Westin Pasadena was very pleasant. We had a corner room with great views of historic Pasadena, including spectacular sunsets silhouetting City Hall. Due to some medical issues, I spent most of our visit in the room and it was very comfortable. We enjoyed tasty breakfasts at the hotel restaurant, which featured an attractive outdoor seating area. The hotel was also in walking distance of a nice assortment of shops and restaurants.

    When I was told that we were upgraded to a junior suite, I was excited. However, the stay turned out to be very disappointing. The room size was acceptable, but the main issue was that there was only a tiny window in the room, which is not common. There was also a Peloton bike in the room, but unfortunately, it did not work at all, so we couldn't even try it. The biggest problem was the air conditioner. It was extremely loud and could not be turned off using the control panel. The air vent was directed straight toward the bed, blowing directly against my head and face throughout the night. As a result, I barely got any sleep. Overall, it was such a terrible experience that we would not come back in the future.

    The Westin Pasadena is an odd place: it's the only hotel I've ever been to that has no luggage carts. And parking is 2 blocks away. You'll immediately get swarmed by valets who aren't bellmen. They're valets and if you're not parking your car, they're on to the next fare. After you beg, borrow, or steal a luggage cart, it's off to the parking garage with super low clearance and tiny spots. (SUV drivers beware!) My bed was comfy but my husband's was not. It seemed to make a lot of noise any time he moved. The shower pressure was so-so and the toilet was ridiculously loud when flushed. I don't recommend going downstairs for coffee either. You'll end up standing around for 10 minutes until some harried waitress comes up to sell you a $6 cup of coffee. The only reason people book this hotel is because the view of City Hall is pretty impressive. It's also centrally located & super walkable but we won't be coming back. Also, thanks for the sentiment, Jackie, but this was our second time giving you a try.

    Booked through Expedia. Pricing and location were prime. It could definitely use an upgrade as the rooms are outdated and have an odd old musty smell. The AC didn't work and the pool was closed. Self parking is $19 per day and you do self pay as well. The room bed sheets had stains on them. Towels had stains and the windows were very dirty with water marks. As if they haven't been cleaned in a long time. It was nice to try but wouldn't stay here again.

    The Westin Pasadena is a nice hotel within walking distance of the Pasadena Conference Center (0.4 mile walk). We were warmly greeted upon arrival and were able to check in early, which was very accommodating. Our room was spacious and clean. The on premises restaurant was good for breakfast, but like most hotels, a little over priced compared with going to a local restaurant.

    Ants on the bathroom counter, Room 649, 7/5/26

    I stayed in Room 649 and woke up in the middle of the night to discover an infestation of ants in the bathroom. Ants were crawling up and down the shower curtain and all along the sink, prompting me to check out early. The front desk attendant offered me a measly 5,000 Bonvoy points for the inconvenience, then unbeknownst to me overcharged me nearly $60 in incidentals for a pet fee for my service dog. Over a month later I am still trying to recoup the $60 in fees through Marriott Bonvoy Customer Service. I have stayed at the Pasadena Westin every Fourth of July and New Year's Eve for years, and this is the only negative experience I've ever had. Unfortunately it was so bad I will never return.

    I booked a last minute room here on Hotels.com as a quick staycation, planned around my young kids swimming-- the lead image of this hotel was the pool. Immediately after booking I received a message saying the pool was closed, so I went to cancel our stay. The property DECLINED. I'm shocked and cannot believe a guest was treated this way. There was zero mention of a closed pool anywhere on the page.

Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing and put a real damper on what should have been an incredible night. Check-in begins at 3PM, and we arrived around 5PM after needing to get ready for our wedding reception. Our room still wasn't ready and we were told it was "awaiting inspection." There was no ETA for when it would be available, we were simply told that someone would call or text us when it was ready. This left us without a room when we needed it most. Luckily, my in-laws' room was ready, so we had to use their room to get ready. We also had to leave our luggage with the bell desk and specifically asked that it be delivered to our room once our room became available. After our wedding reception, we returned to the hotel around 11:00 PM. We had received no call, text, or email letting us know our room was ready. I went to the front desk myself and was told that it was, in fact, ready. At that point, however, they couldn't even confirm whether our luggage had been delivered. We went to our room and, unsurprisingly, our luggage was not there. It was eventually brought up to us, but by then we were standing around waiting for our belongings when we should have been getting ready to head to our after party. After an already long and emotional wedding day, this was the last thing we needed. Unfortunately, the problems didn't end there. We had several items from our wedding reception that the hotel agreed to hold for us, which we initially appreciated. When we checked out the following day, we were told that everything they were holding for us had been returned to us. We trusted that information and left. Luckily, we were still in the area at our next stop when we realized we were missing items. We had to turn around and drive back to the hotel to retrieve them. When we arrived, they had several additional items that had been forgotten and not given to us the first time. Mistakes happen, but the combination of everything that went wrong... from not having our room ready at check-in, to not communicating when it was ready, to our luggage not being delivered, to having to return to the hotel because our belongings weren't all returned, made for an incredibly frustrating experience. What makes this especially disappointing is that this was our wedding night. We chose The Langham because we wanted to celebrate such a meaningful occasion there and hopefully have a hotel that would hold special memories for us for years to come. Instead, when I think about our stay, I'll remember it as the hotel that added unnecessary stress to an already exhausting day and didn't make our night any easier. For a hotel of this caliber, I expected a much higher level of communication, attention to detail, and service. Unfortunately, I cannot say that our experience lived up to that expectation, and at this point, I don't see ourselves returning for future anniversaries.

The next morning, prior to check out, I inquired about a 2 bed room and was told that they had one but, I would have to wait until the afternoon.

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.

Free parking. They have free breakfast. Like eggs, sausage. Bacon. Potatoes. Fruit. Juice. Oatmeal. Waffles cereal. Rooms are large. Fridge Im room no microwave in room tho. Please put microwaves in the rooms.

    My room at Best Western-Pasadena on Colorado Boulevard (not to be confused with Best Western-Royale…read moreright next door) had several issues on my recent stay there: ** There was a lot of street noise in the room. ** The old aluminum-framed window rattled constantly all night long. ** The office is BARELY accessible for check-in--you have to climb up two steep steps from the parking lot or else walk all the way around to the front of the building for a ramp. ** Access to the rooms from the parking lot requires an awkward step-up onto a curb and then walking through a narrow, planted area--very difficult because I use a cane. ** The height of the toilet was very LOW, making it hard to stand up. ** There was one horizonal grab bar mounted on the back wall of the shower-tub, but NO vertical grab bar as you try to step in--very difficult to maneuver. ** The bedside lights are mounted fairly high on the wall so that you have to get out of bed and stand up to reach the on/off switch. ** When I plugged my laptop into the electrical outlet adjacent to the table near the room door, I discovered that both receptacles were DEAD. The only other visible outlet was adjacent to the sink, so I had to move the heavy nightstand away from the wall and crawl behind it to reach a working electrical outlet there.

    Overall we were pleased with our stay. We were there Aug 31 - Sept 2, 2026. Here are the positives…read more- The parking is under the hotel and has adequate spaces given hotel size. The pool is nice if the weather is good. We stayed in room 307 and the room was a good size. It had an oversize bathroom door and low toilet. Like you would see in a handicap room, even though we didn't request that. King bed had plenty of room and the room included a chaise lounge as well. Now the negatives - The bed was harder than expected and made for uncomfortable sleeping. Their signage is terrible. When I first got on the elevator it went down even though I pressed the 3rd floor button. I tried a couple times, when another guest said you have to scan your room key then select the floor. No sign saying that on the elevator. No explanation from the front desk about the elevator. Usually, you only need the key card if your on the top floor. Even if the hotel is setup different you need to explain it at check in or provide signs! Same night I went to fill the ice bucket. Followed the sign, it pointed down the hall. I walked all the way to the end no ice machine. Then walked back, saw a different sign pointing the opposite way so I walked all the way to the end, guess what? NO ICE MACHINE!! I walked back to the Elevators thinking there was a sign pointing to another floor. NOPE! Then I hear the ice machine motor kick in so I know I'm close. Turns out to be inside a closet WITH NO SIGN AND A DOOR! Come on. That's just ridiculous. It felt like an episode of Where's Waldo. It shouldn't that hard to find ice! It's not a treasure hunt.

    Hotel Dena has a lot of good things going for it. It is super cute. They have a 24/7 market that is…read moreexpensive but convenient. You are walking distance to everything you need in Pasadena. Everyone works there is super nice. I love the decor- especially the projector that they have set up with movies playing. During major events like the World Cup- they show the matches on there which is very fun. The gym has everything you need but is small. Two things we didn't love- the steps in our room. It is very hard to go to the bathroom in the pitch black at night with stairs. Second- the pool. We booked this hotel for the pool and it is nice, but small. Also fine. The issue is that they sell resort passes. We got there at 10 on a Friday and every lounge chair was taken. There are only like 10. Since they are resort passes, those people stay all day. We paid for 5 nights at this hotel and could not get loungers for a day. Others paid $30 and got loungers the whole day. Doesn't seem fair.

    Not an overnight stay. This review is for a relaxing Sunday daycation at The Pasadena Hotel's…read morerooftop pool, booked via Resort Pass (an app I use often as a hotel pool explorer). Pasadena Hotel is officially one of my top picks! Parking: Self-parking is available for $5/hour (max $35). Note: no validation. Check-in: Quick and friendly. The front desk explained pool hours and directions. The lobby itself is a vibe; moody but cozy, featuring cool touches like vintage telephone booths, table games, a welcoming fireplace with comfy seating, and a small bar offering coffee early and cocktails later. Food: Before heading up, I stopped by BBAD (connected breakfast burrito spot). Highly recommend! The Pool: Arriving early on Sunday meant I had the whole rooftop and pool to myself for almost two magical hours. The warm, overcast morning and occasional chorus from Pasadena's parrots made it a perfect self-care escape: reading, napping, swimming laps. It did get busier closer to noon (maybe five others until then), but still felt relaxed compared to other weekend days. Or so I've heard. Drink/food service starts at noon, delivered poolside. The Spicy Margarita was delicious! Facilities: Clean space, restrooms close by, surprisingly soft towels. Con: No free water stations which is unusual for a hotel pool. Only bottled water for sale, so bring your own. Overall: My Sunday escape was top notch! I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend for solo self-care or a chill day with friends.

    ​We checked in for a quick staycation mini-escape and had a wonderful time. While the rooms are on…read morethe smaller side, they make up for it in comfort and style--the beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and everything was spotlessly clean. I loved the updated look that still leaned into a cool, historic 90s vibe with beautiful mosaic tiles in the clean bathroom. The room also featured a convenient little wet bar area with a coffee maker and fridge. ​The absolute highlight of our stay was the pool! It's a bit smaller than it appears on the website, but the vibe was perfect. They had music playing and a bartender on duty, making it the ultimate spot to lounge, chill, and just enjoy the atmosphere before we headed out to a soccer match. ​Check-in and check-out were incredibly easy and seamless. The hotel has a great, welcoming atmosphere and a rich, historic charm. We'd definitely stay again for a quick local getaway!

    Made a reservation for their afternoon tea for a party of five and we had the best time!…read more They have free parking right in front of the inn after driving up a narrow windy private road. There are some great views from the top and outside is nice and shady with big trees and a nice size porch. The owner and family were so welcoming as soon as we arrived. We enjoyed a spread of tea sandwiches, warm scones with clotted, cream and jam, fresh fruits, and an assortment of teas each of which were so delicious and perfectly prepared. My personal favorite was chai which is from a recipe from a family friend, my friends' favorites were the peach oolong, sencha with Matcha, and their rose black tea. We were able to try as many as we wanted! Service was amazing. Ellie was our host and server and she did such a great job. We had the whole space to ourself so it was so fun for an intimate tea party. Highly recommend!

    Odd. Truly odd. My friend and I went for tea…read more We were the only ones there which was fine! The food and tea were plentiful and delicious. The presentation and our table by the window were lovely. The people were gracious. All that would be a solid 5 star. The odd part was a sense of chaos in the background. We arrived a little early. No one was available to greet us so we hung out in the Inn's lobby (after searching and calling out). Then someone did see us and assumed we were guests waiting to check into a room. And other things. As I said, odd.
