Best Western Pasadena Inn

I selected this hotel for the location .of my next business trip. Compared to other BW rooms are clean,bath room well equiped, coffee stand ok, internet very good and TV screen and choice of channels very good. Breakfast standard like most BW but good. Lots of restaurant choices within 1.5 miles. Office center, small but well equiped with large screens and up to date printers. less

The hotel was nice, convenient affordable, the staff was friendly but our room was a smoking room which we did not ask for. little disappointed in that. I would stay here again if guaranteed a NON smoking room less

We used Priceline Express Deals, so we just chose the Pasadena area but did not know what hotel we would be staying at until we checked out. However, we were very pleased with this hotel! We stayed for 6 nights at the end of April 2018. The room was nice - we had a king size bed so the room was slightly smaller than a double bed room would be, but it was enough space for us as we weren't in the room much. Our room was about 3/4 of the way toward the corner of the hotel, so the other side of the building blocked the sound of the cars on the road at night. You might be able to hear cars if your room is toward the end of the building near the road, so if you're a light sleeper perhaps request a room toward the corner/inside of the hotel. The free continental breakfast was open at 6am each morning, which was a great time and money saver for us. Had plenty of options to choose from. In all, I would definitely recommend this hotel. It might not be the most glamorous hotel, but it was clean and appeared to have been recently renovated. It was everything that we needed! As a side note, it was a slight drive to some of the activities we were doing on our trip (Universal, beach, studio tours, Anaheim, etc.). However, we were okay with this and chose to stay further away to save money. We just allowed extra time each morning for the commute. less

I was looking for a one-night stay close to the Huntington Library. I chose this one because I'm familiar with the Best Western brand. It was just OK. I wouldn't have wanted to stay more than one night, as there was no comfortable chair in the room and there's nothing interesting in the area. less

The staff were great! Room was nicely decorated, ample size, enough supplies, and clean. SUGGESTIONS: Ask for a room on the first floor (no elevator) in the back of the hotel (on a busy street). We were in room 123 and could hear other guests in the room next door, walking down the outdoor hallway upstairs, and starting their cars/locking them in the parking lot right outside our door. Although I was bothered by the noise, there was really nothing the motel staff could do about it. You get what you pay for and the price was reasonable for Pasadena. It was ok for one night. Continental breakfast was very basic, low quality, and ample. If you need to put something in your tummy before lunch, it might do. less
