I like that fact that is kind of retro \"old school\" hotel...as far as the location, its kind on the outer edge of all the main restaurants, but the walk is not to bad to get pretty much to any of them. The comedy club Ice House is right across the street.

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

Prices for cocktails are parking are high, but that's the case everywhere now days.

Room was a little small and details were coming undone (decal on shower glass was peeling). Toiletries were unusable when we did receive them, but the hotel was nice, with great lobby, garden area and pool. We thought the pros outweighed the cons. Very walkable location with cafes and restaurants, theaters and shops close by. Had to request maid service and they were persistent, knocking on door beginning at 9:30 AM. However everyone was kind and attentive. Six night stay; would stay again.

When traveling to Pasadena, this looked like the perfect hotel to stay in, and it certainly was!
The room was excellent. The shower was my favorite part, the design of the bathroom and room made it feel so spacious and comfortable.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our entire stay, and made the check in/out process so smooth.
The pool and gym are on the third floor, so the views of Pasadena and the nearby mountains were so pretty! Truly a beautiful place to visit. The restaurant/bar service at the pool was excellent, and if you like coffee, you’ll love the breakfast/coffee shop adjacent to the lobby.
From parking, to cleanliness, to friendly staff this hotel checks every box! And it’s in a perfect location to walk around and see Pasadena!

Selected this independent hotel and for once, not a chain but that brought some issues;

Room - had toilet in the bedroom which is just wrong. As a normal couple, I do have an issue with this. Basically the room was a bedsit on a positive, bed comfortable.

Balcony - room had balcony but no furniture. So basically a smoking area. Staff said no available chairs - unsurprisingly we found some fairly quickly so balcony was actually of use.

Staffing - mixed experience. Check in unfriendly but check out efficient and hospitable. Overall, no warmth and many looked liked they were unhappy working at hotel.

Room service - basic and no refill of coffee, shower gel, cups etc……In fact anything. Resorted to buying shower gel and coffee from Target.

Overall - bad experience and way overpriced. Would recommend AC Marriott or Westin. Dissapointed as wanted to support independent chains but this reinforced why I am reluctant.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The room was very nice, remodeled sometime fairly recently. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom shampoo/conditioner/soap were very nice. The pool was beautiful and the workout room good. Lobby a teeny bit shabby but otherwise very nice and the fountain outside with chairs to sit near was lovely.

Downside - they need SERIOUS SOUND BAFFLING. You can hear every person walking/talking in the hallway outside the room like they're IN your room. Also, the towels - not great. They need to throw out old towels - thin, thready and poor. Strangely, we had one newer bath towel and one old one and the difference was HUGE!

Lastly, would be nice if the bar stayed open past 9:30p. That's very early.
Overall, though, a very nice place to stay and the location is super!

I wish the staff had made it clear to me on check in that if I wanted my room made up, I would have to ask a day in advance. Housekeeping left fresh towels when I asked but didn't even take away towels on floor, as is standard.

Pool is lovely. I wish someone on staff would have spoken with parent of a small child, as the child was in the pool all by herself other than adult hotel guests like me. She may have been between 5 to 7 years old. She told me that her dad said if she was drowning, that I or one of the other guests would save her, and she couldn't swim well, so she wasn't supposed to be in the deep end (as she was swimming in the deep end). Hotel staff were around and did nothing that I saw to speak with the parent and I couldn't find him either. There should be a protocol in place for unaccompanied children in the pool area. This was so unsafe.

This hotel doesn't put lotion in the room, but has it on hand. You need to ask housekeeping for it. Took 30 minutes to get a asada bowel, which is basically beans and rice and meat. They also charge $50 for early check in, when the room is ready. Not a fan of this practice.

Beautiful hotel, great for those traveling for work or doing school/work remotely. Plenty of space in the lobby, gorgeous back patio, and poolside to relax or work. Really peaceful and quiet and most people are mindful of maintaining this. Comfortable clean rooms, cafe that sells burritos and drinks downstairs until afternoon, and within walking distance to a nearby Target and restaurants, with a Trader Joe’s a bit farther. 5 min drive from the beautiful Huntington botanical garden. Staff were very friendly. My partner and I loved it here. Such a great deal. We will be back!

Had a pool view room set up for the stay, we were put on the third floor where it was the pool that had a view to our room. We asked for a room clean for one of the days but they were unable to due to being short staffed. The housekeeper in the hallway was very nice and helped me get new towels though. They wont automatically clean your room, you will have to call the front desk to schedule a clean. The walls are very thin, sleep was not the best since the next door neighbors liked to shower at 3am, also our room was infront of the elevators which was high traffic and high noise. The property is really nice and clean and new.

I loved my stay at this hotel.

I stayed for two nights. When I first checked in, my room was next to a service closet and the elevator.

I have a tough time sleeping and thought that was something I could handle for one night, but probably not two.

After thinking about it, I went down to the front desk and asked about switching to another room for the next night. Marielle was super kind and understanding, and moved me right then rather than splitting the stay between two rooms.

My new room was the best, and I slept better there than I have in a long time!

The hotel itself is beautiful. A mix of historic charm with modern amenities. The bartender makes a killer drink, and the pool deck and courtyard are so relaxing.

The hotel attracts a good mix of people and they all seemed to enjoy the spaces of the hotel. Lots of folks in the lobby, hanging out, playing games, reading, and whatnot.

The best part of this hotel is the entire staff. Derrick and Marielle at the front desk are top notch. They went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable!

I would definitely stay here again.

Pasadena Hotel & Pool exceeded our expectations in every way. The hotel is historic & the lobby is lovely. The bar & furnishings are very tasteful. The staff is wonderful. A big shout out to Derrick (at check in/check out) and Lou-Lou (head of house keeping). We reserved a suite & it was perfect for our needs. We were visiting our grown children that live in Korea town & Highland park & it served as a good meeting place for us to enjoy each others company in the evenings. Parking was easy for them when they came to meet us. There are many great restaurants & shopping within walking distance of the hotel. The internet speed was great. The pool & pool area was wonderful. We will definitely stay there again
