Best Western Pasadena Inn

To start with the positives, this is a very clean facility, and the rooms seem to have been recently refurbished, and are nicely appointed, with furnishings that are very familiar to those who stay with Best Western around the country. The WiFi works well, and the TV service is good. So what could be wrong? Firstly, the rooms are too small relative to the size of the standard heavier / "solid" BEst Western furnishings. For example the classic "square table" and two chairs are too large for the size of the room, and so are positioned rig/ ht in front of the P-TAC Air Conditioner making access to the air conditioning unit challenging / difficult. For a single occupant, tightness / shortage of space may not be an issue, but for two people, it becomes a bit challenging. The way the hotel is set up, most of the rooms open up to / face busy Colorado Blvd. As such there is traffic noise. The windows are older, and have thin single sheet glass and so minimal noise insulation. On the noise front, we were also woken up in the early hours by the voices and the TV of an adjoining room. There is no microwave in the room; if you need access to one then its a trip to the front office. Also, there is no where to hang up a small face or hand towel where the hand wash basin is, which just makes it awkward. As I stated, the facility is impecably clean, and the rooms are all refurbished, but there are these little things that seriously detract. One final comment is that this facility is really well located to a great sushi restaurant, (Gin Sushi across the road), and there is a Sprouts within a block. For the weary traveller there is a foot massage place across the way as well. less

This is a well-run, friendly, comfortable, convenient and economical place to stay while in the charming city of Pasadena. The rooms are kept very clean, the breakfast is satisfactory, there is sufficient parking, and the Wi-fi works well. We found it was centrally located and had no trouble getting around from the lodging. You'll get good value when you stay here. less

We checked for many hotels, close to The City of Hope (COH), and Best Western came through once again as our best value in the area! Rooms were comfortable, clean, and close enough to COH (7 miles), to be very convenient! less

Clean, quiet, great night's sleep, super internet, exceptional breakfast. Will definitely stay here again. The tip from others is true: if you arrive very late, you might have trouble finding a parking spot as the lot does fill up. less

We - family of 5 - chose this hotel due to its location close to the highway network. And being a foreigner, living on route 66 is a plus :-) Beds are good, linen always clean. But the rooms are on the dark side with just one window looking out on the parking lot. Breakfast was standard for these chains - ok but nothing fancy. Rooms were quite despite the proximity of the boulevard and we all slept well. less
