We needed to stay an extra few nights last minute. The hotel was fine for what it was and what we needed, a place to sleep. It felt clean enough and the beds were very comfortable. The shower drained smelled bad. Front desk agent was so kind. We felt comfortable and safe. The location was good and we enjoyed the coffee shop within walking distance (fikafika). It is fine for a no thrills quick trip. I wouldn't want to stay longer then a night or two however.

We (myself +2others) stayed here for 5days. By the fourth day when we got back from the beach we discovered that the a/c was not working. We told the night staff about it and he tried to reset the machine but it did not work. We were so tired that we slept in a hot stuffy room. The next morning we went to the front desk and Tommy was super helpful! He gave us a new room immediately which was great because the room (301) was wayyy nicer than the one we were in (211). Only down part from 301 was that the neighbor was smoking or something and the smell would travel to our room but we were so exhausted that we didn’t care. We bought our own febreeze and opened the window since we were leaving the next day. I do wish we got the room we thought we originally booked with was supposed to be a two bedroom with two Queen beds but it’s okay, we made do.

Leo at the check-in desk was very helpful. No issues while working with him.
I booked a two night stay and when I woke up Saturday morning, I was bitten all over my body, which led me to believe there may have been bedbugs. I also found a dead bug on the side of the bed.
When I went down to the front desk to talk to the manager, Tommie, he seemed very disinterested, and there was no sense of urgency.
I was told to gather my stuff at 10:25 to be relocated into another room and I wasn’t contacted again till 12 noon. Again, I’m not sure if it was bedbugs, but I definitely didn’t have any bites before going to bed the night before.
I took pictures of the dead bug that was found, and the bites I had on my body.
Safe to say, I will not be staying there again.

Nothing screams turn and walk, no run, away like being greeted by someone behind bulletin proof glass proof glass. The pictures online should be reported as false advertising. The ghetto couch in our room was probably used by Charlie Chaplin while filming silent movies. The carpet was probably there at the same time as well. The bathrooms pictured online are 4x’s bigger than the one we got. The toilet was 2” off the ground and the decor “remodel” was 1/2 assed. The door in room 406 didn’t have a full seal so the light from outside shown through all night. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. Ghetto tastic to put it nicely. Zero stars.

Howard Johnson Wyndham Pasadena was a great place to stay. Although the property is dated, it was clean and felt safe. The location was excellent! Freeway access was easy and there were enough dining options around the property. The only problem we encountered was the lack of enough handicap parking stalls. Other than that, we would highly recommend this property.

Booked this hotel since it had a pool so my kids could swim. The pool is just a few feet deep and no longer than 7-8 ft long. You couldn’t swim if you wanted to. It’s also right in the middle of the dirty parking lot where a bunch of people were smoking, despite the “No Smoking” signs. We cancelled the reservation immediately upon pulling in and went elsewhere.

The accommodations were sufficient and price was reasonable for an overnight stay. The room floor could’ve been vacuumed better, but the bedsheets and pillows were comfortable. The shower water pressure was also good so I was happy about that. The staff was available and someone always sitting at the front desk for assistance.

I came on business. This location is right across the street from Pasadena City College.
The staff was very nice. The decor in my room did not match. TV did not have good channels. The breakfast coffee in the lobby was terrible, and there was no actual creamer besides dry packets. To plan better, travelers should be ready to go out for coffee. Be careful when exiting the property because there is a busy sidewalk at the exit. You don't want to hit anyone. TV program options paid for by the property are not great, low cost, with lots of ads, so plan on using your own laptop or phone for night entertainment.
Nothing exceptional about the property. Worth about $60 per night, but more is charged.

I had reserved a king bed standard room. When I opened the door of our room it was two queens. I could deal with that, but decided to go back to the office and point out the error. This is a hotel with quite a few rooms, it was early and not a particularly busy evening. They did change us to a king bed room, but it happened to be a handicapped accessible room which we did not need. Thus, it did not have the sofa like the room I had reserved.
The bed was saggy in places and pillows were flat. I have stayed here previously with a good experience but it was disappointing this time.

Front desk attendant man was extremely rude. If you need anything from the front desk, whether you have a simple question, need to switch rooms, or even doing a simple check in or out, dont expect them to be even remotely kind or respectful. The front desk attendant was so cruel and insulted me every time I tried to seek assistance. Awful experience. I will never go back there again.

It’s a safe spot. It’s directly across a college. And so it’s very safe. Staff is very friendly and professional. The location is nice. You have access to a lot of restaurants, Vietnamese, Greek, American and yeah Chick-fil-A. Lol.

The rooms are clean. And restaurants are literally within walking distance . And it’s on Colorado boulevard. A blvd known for amazing shops.

The manager has indeed done a good job in this hospitality venture. The rooms are clean.

Will definitely stay here again.

It's thr right fit for people that are looking for low cost stay with no issues. Don't expect luxury but provides everything, We had a booking for 2 days. Room was clean. Since the room is next to the main road, there was some noise but Pasadena itself does not have too much traffic on that road at night. We reached late night but check-in was smooth. Next day room service did not clean the room but as such there was no need. Free parking is helpful. Expedia showed Free Breakfast but it has been discontinued since July 2025. We have stayed at this facility before so you are not missing much as breakfast was slightly less than OK. Overall value for money.

It is always a wonderful stay. Which is why I always stay here for work, It’s in a super nice area of Pasadena. It’s walkable to numerous restaurants. If you do not have a vehicle that is ok. Because it’s a short walk to many bus lines. The rooms are spacious, quiet, and super clean. They have security cameras all over the property to keep you feeling safe. You can not get better service from their staff Saimon, Tommy, and Lee. They all go out of their way to make sure you have a nice stay. I have never had any complaints on my numerous stays at this property. But I am sure if I did they would take care of it immediately.

I arrived in the evening, the front desk rep., checked me in and gave me a room on the 3rd floor to find out that the property’s only elevator is not working. I am a mid-60 woman with heart problems and the front desk service rep thought I can carry my heavy suite case three flight of stairs. I did not appreciate that at all, I had to book another place through Expedia, I paid online Twice. I drove to the other location to be disappointed again as the area did not look anything like the advertisement on Expedia. When I called Expedia for a refund, I was told that they are going to charge me for one night for each hotel which amounted to almost $300 even though I paid extra for insurance. I had to find a hotel on my own and pay for it.
