    visited Le Méridien in the Pasadena Arcadia area and it was a very nice experience. The hotel is clean and modern. When you walk in, they have "Latitude" written in different places, which is a nice touch and gives it a stylish feel. Valet parking is required and the valet team were very nice and professional. Outside, there is some construction going on across the street, but once you are inside the hotel it feels calm and well put together. The common areas and rooms are attractive and comfortable. Overall, a very good. I am giving Le Méridien Pasadena Arcadia 4 stars.

    Very pet-friendly hotel I believe they are smoke-free now, which makes the environment even more enjoyable. It's a beautiful place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. Server Tony was incredibly helpful, attentive, and always checked on us to make sure everything was perfect. He made our time there with our furry pals so relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you. We truly appreciate how welcoming they are to pets. We will definitely be back soon

    Menu and Tea Selection

    Brought my friend here for afternoon high tea to celebrate her birthday, and we had a great time! It was super easy to make a reservation online via Opentable. Upon arrival, we were seated at the beautiful blue couches by the windows in the corner of the lobby, which surprised me because we weren't inside the restaurant. But it was very comfortable and we had a lot of space to ourselves. For $68 per person, you get a choice between a sparkling lavender lemonade mocktail or a glass of champagne. We both opted for the lavender lemonade and they were so beautiful with a gradient purple - definitely a cute instagramable drink. For the hot tea, they have 4 teas to choose from, and you can get unlimited refills. We got the Oolong Caramel Brûlée and the Jardin Bleu to share - both were delicious. I did prefer the Oolong Caramel more. The food comes on the standard 3 tier plates, and was decorated with beautiful flowers and happy birthday chocolates. Definitely tasted better and was of higher quality than other tea spots I've been to, although I wasn't as full. My favorites were the pumpkin curry soup and the egg salad pastry! What would've made their afternoon tea stand out is if they replaced all the boring plain white chinaware with ones with cute designs. Afternoon tea is all about the vibes, so that would be my only complaint. They do charge an automatic 21% service charge, which is mentioned on Opentable. Our server deserved it though as she was very helpful and sweet, refilling our teas multiple times. She even took her time taking photos for us and checked up on us often. Parking is valet only and the restaurant validates for 3 hours. Hotel is very beautiful, with nice restrooms and a little outdoor section that you can chill at.

    This review is solely for the afternoon tea service. We made a reservation at 11:00am on a Friday, so it was quiet until there was a screaming baby in the same area since it is the same space as breakfast lunch and dinner. overall the food was pretty standard. Nothing stood out. We had to wait for quite a bit for the soup to come out; after half of our set was eaten. the scones were...not traditional kind; they were chocolate chips and uneven in size, provided butter and jam (no clotted cream). I was really looking forward to the ube cupcake with matcha icing. To be frank, I couldn't tell the difference if they were mini chocolate cupcakes with frosting from the bakery from local grocery store. for $68 + 21% service charge, I am not sure if i would pay a visit again.

    Attended "Raise the Roof" - SGV Habitat for Humanity Annual Gala at this beautiful hotel. The event was successful and raised a lot of money. Had an amazing time with great friends and enjoyed a wonderful meal. The service from the Parking attendance to the servers was excellent!

    We recently hosted Dawson Company's 77th Anniversary Party at Le Méridien, and I can't say enough great things about the experience! Our guests were absolutely blown away by the beautiful venue, flawless service, and especially the exceptional food--I received countless compliments throughout the night. We've held past company celebrations at impressive venues such as The Queen Mary, Pechanga Resort, and the Santa Anita Racetrack, but this event at Le Méridien was, by far, everyone's favorite. The combination of elegant ambiance, delicious cuisine, and seamless execution made the evening truly unforgettable. A huge thank you to the entire Le Méridien team for their professionalism, attention to detail, and warm hospitality. You made our milestone celebration spectacular from start to finish. I can't recommend this venue highly enough!

    Beautiful heated pool opens at 6 am!!
    Siobhan D.

    My favorite part of my stay was the outdoor heated pool that opens up nice and early, 6 AM, which is super for my work schedule! Stays open late as well. Valet parking is required, which is not ideal for me as I like to come and go as I please, but the Valet staff were especially kind, welcoming, and super fast and efficient!! I got my car in fewer than 5 minutes each morning, even at 7 AM which should be a busy time for them. Beds and shower- both amazing!! The extra duvet was appreciated. Loved my spacious room and functional mini-fridge that actually kept my food cold!

    Le Meridien Hotel is located in Arcadia right across Huntington Dr. from Santa Anita Racetrack and Mall. It's a high end hotel with a restaurant/bar. The property is not big and the entire perimeter of is used for parking. Only paid Valet parking available. The lobby and the restaurant/ bar of the hotel is spacious but deserted. The rooms were ok but our bathroom only had a shower. Apart from the valet there was not a lot of interaction. Service was adequate. Low energy vibe. Neither the restaurant or bar the only amenities was not inviting with no one there. You can see the small pool from the window as you check in with the pool rule signs taking up the view.

    It is a beautiful hotel. I have Never stayed here before. The staff representative at the front desk was very nice. We were tired from our drive and it was a little early to check but she accommodated us. I love coming to a place where i haven't stayed and get treated very well. The rooms were pretty standard size but it was nice. It was clean, modern, and smelled good. We had the view of the park across the street which was ok. It was that or the courtyard. I was with two teenagers and they loved the pool. The hotel also has a very lovely restaurant, bar, and cafe. The restaurant is a bit pricey but it is LA. But the staff there are very nice as well. My family and I had a lovely experience here. The hotel maybe pricey for some people but I think it depends on the time and season. But, I'd come back here again. FYI: this spot is a short drive to Universal Studios and Disneyland.

    Allen S.

    Le Meridien is a relatively new hotel with a great view of the race track. The room was nicely appointed and could easily be used for business work. Most of the lights are on an automation system that would make it possible to manage energy usage when the room is not occupied. This is a nice touch. In fact, I think we could turn off most lights with a single button but not 100% certain. Of the many Marriotts I have stayed at, this one isn't in my top 50. I chalk that up to being new with an un-seasoned management staff. Restaurant execution was less than great and we never saw the restaurant manager. The last day, the bill was hard to decipher since they started charging a gratuity for the elite breakfasts. In our case, we'd always tip on the full amount before the elite discount but it was hard to figure out what they did differently that day. The hotel manager was also clueless what the bill should look like. Be advised, we stayed there over the July 4th weekend. At that time they had no EV destination charger. Really? Pasadena isn't known for a great charging destination so this was an unpleasant surprise for a new hotel.

The services at this Residence Inn got the job done. - The units are in outdoor townhouse style units as opposed to in one big building. - The room was clean, nothing broken. I used the stove and kitchen supplies to cook to keep my food costs lower. - I didn't opt in for housekeeping but I could always get supplies (e.g. toilet paper) with a call to the front desk. - I brought my small dogs and they have a grass area dogwalk-type path in the back of the units which was convienient. I like the dog-friendliness of these extended stay hotels. - Their complementary breakfast with some hot items, yogurt, granola, cereal, toast/pastries wasn't out of this world but got the job done. This place is right in the heart of Downtown Arcadia and there are plenty of food and drink options within walking distance (like Lan Noodles). The location in Arcadia is easy to get around in the San Gabriel Valley as wel as access the major freeways. The main thing I wanted to mention is on my stay, we forgot an item in our room, a handheld theragun massage tool. I realized it after we already got back to the Bay Area and called the hotel, the GM Izzy said she's check, and 30 minutes later I got a call back that they found it. Izzy put me in touch with her Assistant Manager Mary Jean and said if we paid for a UPS Shipping Label and sent it to them, they would pack up our item so it could get to us. That kind of customer service is a little bit above and beyond so I appreciate they were so helpful because it's easy for things to get lost or thrown away by accident in a cleanup. I think we'll consider staying there again, it also depends on timing and cost.

The service wasn't necessarily bad, but nothing about it was particularly memorable or welcoming. At other locations, we've typically been offered complimentary bottles of water, but here we had to ask for them. When we did, the gentleman at the front desk asked for our room number, which seemed a little odd for something as simple as water. That ended up being just the tip of the iceberg. As soon as we got settled into our room, we noticed a foul, mildew-like odor in the living room area. The breakfast area also wasn't being kept very clean. There were crumbs and food debris throughout the area, and it was pretty apparent that no one was consistently keeping up with the tables and general cleanliness while guests were eating. I was also surprised by the $200 deposit, as that's not something we've encountered during our stays at several other Hilton properties. What made the experience even stranger was the amount of emphasis on tipping despite how disorderly things felt. There were QR code table tents encouraging tips, additional tipping information in the room, and even a physical tip jar prominently displayed in the breakfast area. I have no issue tipping for good service, but having so many reminders asking guests to tip while the dining area itself wasn't being properly maintained felt a little tone deaf. One other thing that really stood out: breakfast closes at 10:30, but if guests are already inside and still eating, why close the doors around them? It came across as tacky and made the experience feel unnecessarily unwelcoming. Closing breakfast service at the designated time is completely understandable, but guests who are already seated should be allowed to finish without feeling like the place is being shut down around them. Overall, the entire stay just felt weird and unorganized. Having stayed at several Hilton properties before, we expected a more polished and hospitable experience from Embassy Suites. Unfortunately, this location fell noticeably short of that.

I checked in after 10 PM and checked out before 10 AM--I simply needed a place to rest after a seven-hour drive and to shower and prepare for the service. After returning home, I reviewed my charges and noticed an additional $5.00 fee on top of the room rate. When I called the front desk to inquire, I was told the charge was for water in the room. I explained that I did not use the water and that it was still there when I checked out. I also shared that I have a photo, as I make it a habit to record a video of the room upon departure for my records. I was then asked to provide a photo with a clearly visible date and time stamp so it could be forwarded to a manager for review. Given the amount of money I have spent with Hilton, it is disappointing to feel as though my honesty is being questioned over such a minor charge. This is not about the $5.00--it is about the principle. I am being charged for something I did not use. If that level of proof is required from guests, it would only be fair for the hotel to provide similar documentation showing the item was missing upon my departure. That expectation would clearly be unreasonable, which is exactly my point. I was told a manager would contact me directly, but I have not received any follow-up. I am very disappointed with the lack of customer service, accountability, and respect shown in this situation. Amaiya D. and Martin P., I urge you to do better and treat each customer as you would want to be treated.

Please beware of the good reviews, because they are very pushy for you to scan and leave one upon checking in, before you actually have time to see what you're in for.

    CLEANLINESS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE are both terrible. Every hall in the Hotel smells like an old…read moreashtray. There was stripper glitter all in the carpet, and our dog found a ball of already-been-chewed-gum under the edge of the couch. Mom woke up with bug bites all over her arm. Checked out immediately the next morning. I called to inform the staff at the front desk and their only response was "was there anything else I can help you with? I've stayed in better $65 motels

Gorgeous back patio garden featuring lots of trees and a few tranquil water fountains . The trickling babbling sound of flowing water is mesmerizing. Me loves it. Totally enchanting and relaxing.

If you want to tour the hotel, follow Craig Owens of Haunted by History on Instagram (@bizarre_los_angeles) as he gives tours here. I believe he's taking a break currently but if you get a chance, his tours are excellent and very thorough (he has participated in multiple paranormal investigations here, researched the hotel thoroughly for years, and spent several nights in its rooms). A fascinating piece of history (listed on the National Register of Historic Places). The 44-room hotel opened in 1925 (before the creation of Route 66). It was designed by architect Robert Stacy-Judd in the Mayan revival style (but named the Aztec because it was thought this would be more familiar to the public). The hotel was not particularly successful and went through various phases, including rumors of being a speakeasy and a brothel. It was a bit of a notorious spot for a while, with shady characters occupying its rooms. I was told that 11 people have died here which may not be a particularly high number for such an old hotel. Nonetheless, there are claims of hauntings and tales of paranormal activity. Either way, it's a super fascinating and aesthetically marvelous place!
