Pasadena is one of the most pleasant places of LA; Simon Norton Museum and Huntington Library are definitely MUST SEE spots. BW Pasadena Royale is not so "royal" anymore but despite obvious lack of renovation remains an inexpensive and acceptable hotel. Bedding is good and another couch in the room is always nice to relax. Good Wifi connection. Breakfast is... More

Kinda scary! I gave it a two because it was so inexpensive and the breakfast was good. Not a great area and seemed to have a lot of parties going on in various rooms, so it was loud at night. I did not think it was clean, the carpets have not been cleaned in years and the bathroom was very... More

This Best Western motel is located on Colorado Blvd. at the east end of town near Rosemead Blvd. It's just a couple of short blocks from the east end of the Metro Gold Line in case you aren't driving (or don't want to). The motel is nothing special, but is clean and well equipped. They upgraded me to a suite,... More

We spent 4 nights in this hotel in a vacation trip for rose parade and rose bowl 2012. Since our arrival which was late due to air traffic and flight cancellations we felt a very bad image of the quality of service in the hotel front desk. The guy who receive people during late nights is always in a bad... More

The price is right at $65 a night and the location is excellent. The Pasadena Royale is an aging hotel that has been recently renovated to improve the bathrooms, carpets, drapes, and furniture. Its location is on Colorado Blvd., near where the annual parade is held, and also close to various shopping areas. The only drawback that we found was... More

This location has a hidden beauty, the room above the pool area! This is a HUGE suite like room. It is like a mini studio size... Excellent location. Very close to the METRO stop. Avoid driving around LA to do the tourist thing. Take the metro! I love the Sushi place across the start from this location. The staff at... More

Good stuff - room was spacious, coffee surprisingly good. Not good stuff - bathroom lights flickered but never came on fully so it was too dark to have a shower safely, hot tap in bath had constant trickle of water that would not turn off, there were two small fridges just on the floor of the living room with a...

This is a standard mo-mo with outdoor entryways. I was delighted to enter my quarters to find a semi-upgraded room with modern bedding and curtains, far more palatable than the floral creepiness pictured online. More importantly, my room was clean. There was construction in the room next door, which made peace an obstacle. But I had my tot with me,... More

The bad was a very dissapointing bed, like sleeping on plywood. the discription of this hotel said that they had upgraded the beds, I hate to think what they were like before. Second was a strong musty smell which I found the source of on checkout day, the ac was leaking and the carpet was soaked. I think housekeeping might... More

We greatly appreciate your response on Trip Advisor regarding your stay. We do apologize if the bed was too firm. We will be considering to put a pillow top mattress cover for extra comfort during stays. I would also like to apologize for the AC leak issue. I have sent the maintenance staff to check on the AC unit and... More

When we arrived we saw that the main road was very noisy so we paid extra (not much!!) to have a room at the back. As well as having a suite with space to stretch out, we had a nice view of some spanish type houses out the back window. Since we were on the second floor we could open... More
