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.

Cool building has more character than the generic chains nearby. Room was very good. Pool is a nice feature but not large. Two things that were not so good; dogs in the lobby and being locked in by the parking system. I was charged for parking when checking in but when scanning my barcode to leave the gate did not open. It took three attempts with staff to get out. Bizarre.

The first room we had was smelled like smoke and the towels weren't fresh smelling. We moved to another room the second day, it was better. Pool lounges and umbrellas are old and dirty, stained. First night loud party at 1am next to room, conceirge not helpful. Staff is not well traded, and fairly rude.

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.

It was difficult to find amenities, pool location, how to order food, etc. Front desk staff were extremely unhelpful and unfriendly. This is an easy thing to improve! Accessing coffee in the morning was difficult. This hotel could be so much better. Positives were the quietness on the pool side, clean beds, location, pool.

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

I loved the location, the pool and the art deco vibe. Lots of cool seating areas and fun art. Pool is lovely. Gym is okay. Took off a star because their choice of glass door on toilet and shower makes for a very uncomfortable experience if you’re traveling with someone. Frosting the entire glass would help. But nobody wants to be seen while going to the bathroom. Also parking is needlessly expensive considering the area has plenty of parking nearby.

Beautiful hotel, excellent location with great staff. Lobby area beautiful with lots of seating areas. Views from pool amazing. However, rooms seriously lacking in conveniences and amenities. No dresser or shelves and a minuscule closet meant our suitcases were on floor or desk. This made it hard to walk around beds, and made room look so cluttered and messy. Which also meant no surface to place anything except nightstands. No coffee machine. NO USB PORTS anywhere! So be sure to bring plug adapters. No shelf in shower except one tiny ledge that only had room to hold the very tiny soap/ shampoo/ conditioner bottles. Cute mosaic tile in shower floor was uneven and cut my daughter’s foot, and corner edge of glass shower door cut my heel. Also walls were so thin so our rowdy neighbors kept us up - we could hear everything they were saying. Also there were a ridiculous amount of mirrors in the room. Everything was very clean though!

Trip was great. I plan to stay there again soon. I just didn’t expect the parking to be $32 a night, but that’s still cheaper than other hotels I’ve stayed at. I think this parking cost should be mentioned somewhere on the page before booking. I found out at check-in.

While the lobby was chic and cozy, the rooms felt like old and outdated Las Vegas hotel room. With green/yellow/blue carpet, a bathtub that was basically in the bedroom and a hard bright yellow couch. Our carpet was stained, the phone did not work and the yellow couch was not comfortable. The gym was bare bones for work out equipment. The pool was the best part of the hotel. I would not stay here again.

Really loved this hotel. Two small things could improve. No coffee option was offered in the room or readily available in lobby. Only served at bar til 9:30 AM. So had to go out of hotel to get first cup. There ARE los of good coffee options in town within walking distance. Loved the room and view of pool area; pool setting was beautiful! Lobby comfortable and well-designed. We had an electric car and hookups were provided in the parking garage. But unfortunately they were inoperable. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

The hotel is very cute, I love the lobby. I don’t think the style of the hotel transfers very well to the rooms, they feel like a different hotel. The room was extremely clean & comfortable but I noted a few things - there is no in room coffee and the bathrooms are a stall with a large opening so 0 privacy if you’re traveling with someone you don’t feel close enough with to hear / smell your bathroom trips. There’s a cute bar but no actual restaurant in the hotel. I will say there are many excellent restaurants in walking distance. The pool is also nice and there are beautiful views, but the chair areas weren’t cleaned up very often so lots of old drinks/cups from prior groups sat all day in your space.

The lobby and courtyard are beautiful but the rooms (at least the one I stayed in) are dated, ugly and the carpet is very sticky. It's sad they no longer have live piano like they once did which was part of the charm. I will not stay here again and I do not recommend it for anyone who wants a comfortable room. We couldn't walk barefoot because the carpet was so sticky/filmy.

The hotel was located in a great spot. Close to everything. The views were pretty and the rooms were really nice. My only complaint was that there was only one working elevtor the ehole time we were there which made wait times long, elevators packe and going up and down kind of a pain in the butt. Especially when you're on the 5th floor with luggage. If someone is in the elevator with a luggage cart, not anyone else can fit and you have to wait for the ONE elevator to come back. oTher than that, our stay was wonderful and the property was great.

I love the location and the amenities the hotel has to offer. Staff was nice and friendly and allowed me to check in early after a long travel day and waived the fee. My last three visits have all been the same, my room is right by the elevator and or faced the street causing me to be woken up at all hours of the night by guests and pedestrians outside of the room making it unpleasant and disruptive at times. I know that the rooms arent great for those who book through a third party and it shows. I just wish there were better rooms available when booking through a 3rd party.

We loved our stay here both for the lovely hotel and the location. Staff were very helpful.. but they could provide more amenities in the rooms to make a more comfortable stay. For example, there’s just one towel hook, just one luggage stand, and no flat surfaces to put your things on beyond a small desk, there are no drawers and the closet is teeny tiny.

The staff were very friendly. The only issue I found was with the pool, which is advertised in their name. The area is small, and gets shaded in the afternoon. Also, it felt like a section of the area was occupied by influencers and not hotel guests. I actually did not enjoy the pool area at all and ended up leaving after about 15 minutes.

Only thing is you have to request room service a day before or else they don’t come. Not too bad just have to plan around it. Also, parking was a lil pricey especially having to take 2 elevators, walk through the lobby and out to the parking garage. If you have a lot of luggage it can be a hassle.

There’s something really lovely about walking into Hotel Pasadena. It doesn’t try too hard. It’s just… effortlessly cool. Like that friend who always looks put together in jeans and a T-shirt and somehow makes it seem easy.
The rooms? Honestly, they’re the kind of spaces you walk into and immediately exhale. Soft, warm tones, big comfy beds that practically whisper, “Cancel your plans.” The linens are crisp but cozy, the lighting is flattering (which, let’s be real, matters), and everything feels thoughtfully placed without being fussy. It’s modern, but not cold. Stylish, but still inviting. You could absolutely curl up with room service and a movie and not leave for 24 hours — and no one would judge you for it.
And the staff? They’re the kind of people who make you feel like you’ve stayed there a dozen times before — in the best way. Genuinely friendly, not scripted. You ask a question, and they don’t just answer it, they lean in a little, like they actually want to help. There’s warmth there. It feels personal. You can tell they take pride in the experience.
It’s comfortable without being boring. Chic without being intimidating. And the overall vibe? Relaxed, sunny, and just a little bit charming — very Pasadena, honestly.
Would I stay again? Completely. Probably with an extra night tacked on, just because.

The parking situation is a a really big turn off and If I would have known prior I would not have stayed here. You can’t go directly from the garage elevator to the lobby, you have to take an outside concrete hallway which is not ideal at night or as a woman alone. You also have to pay $35 a day per night per guest (not per room) which quickly adds up as I paid over $140 just to park our cars. I paid for an upgraded room with a view of the pool which wasn’t honored as we were put in a smaller corner room and I still haven’t received my receipt from checkout. One of the garage elevators and one of the hotel elevators was not working and only 4 guests can fit on an elevator at a time as they are very small. This was not what I expected and I recommend staying at the Hilton around the corner.
