Unfortunately the AC in the room didn’t work. Staff said it would be resolved by 5PM and they also provided a fan in the meantime. There was a barking dog in a room nearby & that was bothersome. The room was 3/5 clean, some water rings on the desk & bathroom vanity. The in & out parking privilege was not working and we had to call guest services to let us out. Our keycards stopped working the next morning and front desk said they expired. Minor inconveniences but otherwise friendly staff and nice place to stay short term.

Location was excellent and we enjoyed our stay. However, the lack of a on-site restaurant, and service near the pool was disappointing. We were also told no outside food or drink. Lots of places to eat nearby, but it was a hot summer day, and we were looking forward to relaxing by the pool. It really was the main reason we picked the hotel.

Awful experience. Upon arrival, none of the wines on the wine list were available. They were all different from the menu. The bartender was very nice and helpful though. I was scared awake by a man violently shouting and smashing walls at 4am. It was terrifying and I was afraid to leave my room. I called security and they addressed the screaming. Additionally, someone was chain smoking all night and my room smelled so badly of stale smoke I had difficulty falling asleep and by the time I was woken up by the noise the smell was so strong and I was so afraid, I couldn’t sleep. I complained and requested a refund but the hotel only offered me a meager discount to stay an additional night because I booked through Expedia. I was told to contact Expedia for any compensation for the night I was disturbed. I have not had time to call so the issue hasn’t been resolved.

First, I was put off by the exorbitant $32 extra charge to park, even tho' they have a vast parking garage with lots of empty spots. But then, there was another $15 \"facilities fee\" added on at the end. For what? In fact, my receipt didn't include anything but the EXTRA FEES. Expedia does a valiant job in trying to let ya know what it costs to stay somewhere. If you stay here, plan for an extra $50. So, I'll never do that again...!

The Pasadena Hotel & Pool has a really unique, quirky design that gives it a lot of character. The hotel was generally very clean, and the location is excellent; it’s within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops, and many of Pasadena’s attractions.

That said, the experience had a few downsides. The food at the bar tasted stale and wasn’t worth the price. I also found the staff to be less than helpful when it came to providing basic information about the hotel and amenities, which made the overall experience less smooth than expected. Additionally, the bed was not very comfortable, which impacted the quality of the stay.

Overall, it’s a good option if you’re looking for a clean hotel in a great location with an interesting aesthetic, but the comfort, service, and food could definitely be improved.

The pool was clean and nice area. I love hw when you walk in the felling is warm and cozy. This is how hotels should treat guests. Once again thank you for a memorable night.

The hotel itself is nice. Its located in a good area, where its in walking distance of lots of shopping and restaurants. Staff is their weakness. We showed up at check-in time only to be told our room wasn't ready. Was told they would call when it was. Waited an hour and a half and after no call went back to check-in to be told room was ready then. But staff was very unapologetic about it. We found the staff unattentive and hard to try and get assistance from.

But the hotel is clean and beautiful. Pool area is a great area, even just to sit outside. Rooms are decorated a little funky compared to lobby and common area, but still nice. I would stay again.

I enjoyed staying at the Pasadena Hotel and Pool. We had a short stay for just one night before traveling north to Sacramento. The rooftop pool was nice, but we were sad to learn that poolside service ends at 4pm. The attendant was nice enough to place one last order for us, but we never received the food. The decor was nice, but I was shocked at how small the room was. We had a balcony pool view king and the toilet and shower were a bit too close to the bed for my taste. I would return again if traveling solo. This was just too close for me.

We didn’t have the best experience. We booked a premier room for our wedding anniversary (premier room cost extra). When we checked in they told us we had a king room and I asked several times if it was a premier room (we were very excited it looked beautiful online) the front desk woman said it’s “not a premier room but we upgraded you to a larger room”. No explanation as to why. We went to the room and it looked like a standard king room, did not look “upgraded”, colorful like the premier room, or larger and the window view was of a wall. My husband had to go back down and kindly ask for the room we paid for and they were pretty cold but moved us to a premier room. It was just odd they did that to begin with and were kind of rude about it. I thought it was odd that parking was $32 a night when we’re already paying so much for the hotel itself. Some positives are that the bartender / food staff was super nice and the property was beautiful.

The pool seemed to be pretty busy with families and kids. Not a giant or deep pool but nice. Overall the hotel is nice.
