    When I was told that we were upgraded to a junior suite, I was excited. However, the stay turned out to be very disappointing. The room size was acceptable, but the main issue was that there was only a tiny window in the room, which is not common. There was also a Peloton bike in the room, but unfortunately, it did not work at all, so we couldn't even try it. The biggest problem was the air conditioner. It was extremely loud and could not be turned off using the control panel. The air vent was directed straight toward the bed, blowing directly against my head and face throughout the night. As a result, I barely got any sleep. Overall, it was such a terrible experience that we would not come back in the future.

    I booked a last minute room here on Hotels.com as a quick staycation, planned around my young kids swimming-- the lead image of this hotel was the pool. Immediately after booking I received a message saying the pool was closed, so I went to cancel our stay. The property DECLINED. I'm shocked and cannot believe a guest was treated this way. There was zero mention of a closed pool anywhere on the page.

    The Westin Pasadena is a nice hotel within walking distance of the Pasadena Conference Center (0.4 mile walk). We were warmly greeted upon arrival and were able to check in early, which was very accommodating. Our room was spacious and clean. The on premises restaurant was good for breakfast, but like most hotels, a little over priced compared with going to a local restaurant.

    On the second floor looking down to the lobby corridor.

    Our experience was amazing, check in went smoothly, we got many recommendations as well as a lot of information on the amenities as well. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. Valet staff was always kind and respectful and answered our questions when we had some. Overall great experience through and through and we would def come back again!

    Dirt or ash? Found on windowsill when we arrived.

    Pros: friendly staff, great location, moderately comfortable bed, reasonably priced self-parking, pool Cons: WE FOUND SOMEONE ELSE'S BALLED-UP, USED BOXER BRIEFS ON THE FLOOR NEAR THE BED. We didn't discover it until we were literally climbing into bed for the night and since we were only staying one night we chose to leave them right where they were and notify the staff when we checked out in the morning. GROSS. I couldn't even look over in that area after that. There was also dirt or ash or something on the inside of the windowsill. And the room showed lots of signs of wear and tear. The closet door wasn't hanging properly anymore, the bathroom vanity was warped and peeling on the side by the shower, the side of the tub was streaked and dirty, there were long black hairs stuck inside the toilet that moved every time we flushed but never went down the drain. Water pressure in the shower is very low and makes for a long shower trying to get shampoo and conditioner out of your hair. We chose the Westin for our anniversary night get away and while it wasn't a COMPLETE waste of money, we will not be back. Hard to have a good nights rest knowing someone else's dirty chonies are chilling in the corner. Makes you wonder what else was left unturned, uncleaned...

    Nice tile work. The pic doesn't do it justice.

    For almost $300 a night, things should be in working order. The shower head/handle needed some work or a replacement. Other than that, the room was comfortable. Nice staff.

    The "Not so special" feeling when I returned to my room seeing it still unmade after the entire day away. Bummer.

    The hotel is fantastic. The grounds are beautiful. The architecture is incredible too! I like my room, and overall, the experience is very nice. And then, there is the service. What do you do if you're gone all day from your room from 8 AM to 5:39 PM and you come back and the room is not made and everything is the way you left it but nothing is cleaned or replenished? Should I be happy? Now I have to make my own bed... I thought I came to this hotel so they could take care of me?!? And when I called downstairs to ask them, why, they called me to tell me the housekeeper marked it as cleaned and then asked me, "are you sure they didn't clean the room?" Yes yes, I'm sure! Now I'm gonna post a picture so they could see how I found my room at 5:39 PM after an entire day away. Update - the housekeeping manager did call me back to apologize and they did credit some points for the inconvenience. I am glad they followed up and owned up to their oversight or mistake. Much better. Added a star after that since they did their best to make it right.

The actual rooms themselves are quiet outdated and filled with some quirks such as a sliding barn door bathroom and sparse lighting in the bedroom itself. There were a couple other issues with the room itself that made the say less than desirable, and certainly not worth the weekend nightly rate. For one, the thermostat/cooling unit in the room was nonfunctional. I lucked out by being in Pasadena in an unseasonably cool stretch, but disappointed that even basic A/C didn't come with my room. Would be a real problem for most of the summer in LA. Secondly, despite being advertised as "Mountainview", you mainly get a view of the neighboring buildings. Definitely not worth paying extra for. What's worse is that directly below the mountainview/east side of the building sits the entire A/C equipment for the hotel, which is incredibly loud. If you leave the glass sliding door to the patio open, the noise is still significant even with 30 db earplugs on. Even with the door closed, the din of the rooftop equipment is loud enough to sound like an A/C unit running in the room. Which was little comedic given the A/C or even just fan alone in the room itself is nonfunctional! Again, a sign of how dated the rooms are that the soundproofing is so terrible. This is clearly a hotel that prioritizes its lobby and conference room facilities over the guestrooms themselves. Finally, for a hotel that looks relatively luxurious, you won't even find a hot tub. For that and all the reasons above, you're better off splurging a bit more for better, or sticking with a Marriott Courtyard or even motel/inn. All of which will have more updated rooms without the quirks.

In Pasadena, your best bang for the buck is always this place. And over the last couple years that decision was made because of one person - Alexa. Here's the thing - I like a particular room on the ground floor because it's easy to load all my work materials in and out. I book through a 3rd party app (sorry, job thing for the points) so I book then call to request that room. In years past Alexa and I had just exchanged the typical check-in pleasantries and that was all. Pleasant, courteous and informative with any of my Q's. But I switched jobs and hadn't been back in the area for about a year. Now I'm back and my territory now includes SoCal again. I booked, and called. Alexa picked up and without me even telling her my name first she informed me that she'd seen the booking and knew that this guest (from a year prior!) preferred a particular room and had already put me in that one. This has happened a few times since and each time, I'm still impressed. I don't expect this nor should anyone. For someone that's on the road as often as I am, I see a lot of faces at hotels and they blur together after awhile so I assume it's similar on their end. But I really just have to say it's so rare to have someone who has a 'few times a year' 30-second exchange with me be so good at her job that I'd never go anywhere else. And when I'm doing business in the area, I rave. Apart from that - very clean rooms. Everything works as it should. Parking is ample and safe. Just wanted to take the time to share my experience to let the owner know that, through the years, she's really done a lot to make me feel welcome and taken care of. They're lucky to have her.

The next morning, prior to check out, I inquired about a 2 bed room and was told that they had one but, I would have to wait until the afternoon. I agreed and they charged my credit card $160.29 for the stay on Saturday, April 25, 2026. I had an important appointment across town that I needed to keep so, I left to get to the appointment and expected to get back to the hotel around the time that the room became available. Unfortunately, I encountered serious vehicle issues and was not able to get back to the hotel. I also did not want to get stuck in the dark trying to get across town to the hotel. I tried to call the hotel later that evening but, it just kept ringing and ringing, until it timed out, and I was never able to reach anyone. Early the next morning (April 26th), I tried calling again but, it still just kept ringing until it timed out. I was finally able to physically go to the hotel and speak with Mary a bit after 2am. She told me that I would have to wait until after 9:30 or 10 am and speak with David, the GM. I called at 11:21 am and told another man there what happened and he told me to speak with David at 3pm. I spoke with David at 3:29pm and told him that I had planned to be there when the room was ready but, I had serious vehicle issues and no way to get to the hotel. I mentioned that I tried to call, no one answered, and that I finally spoke with Mary, who told me that I had to speak with him. He said that Mary starts at 11pm and I should have called sooner. I explained that had I not been stuck across town without transportation and dealing with serious vehicle issues, I would have but, I did try to communicate as soon as I could. I told him that I just wanted to be able to stay for one night to use the one night for which I paid. It is unfortunate because, even though this place was not the best, most well kept hotel, it was conveniently located and most of the staff, up to this point, seemed nice enough. At this point, I have no interest in ever staying here again. I would just like a full refund.

The Best Western Pasadena Inn met all my needs, exceeding expectations. First off, the area is clean and safe, allowing me to feel comfortable compared to some locations in LA.

They do have a free breakfast, which is a nice added value, especially if you are heading out early for the day. The guest laundry room is also very convenient and a major asset for longer stays or road trips.

It felt stylish yet comfortable, and somehow attracted such kind and respectful people from all walks of life. There's a dinner restaurant and bar, a breakfast/lunch spot, a heated pool, and a gym. While those are common hotel amenities, somehow this place made everything feel elevated and special. The location is also amazing -- right in Pasadena near the Paseo entertainment area, theaters, restaurants, and not far from the freeway.

Also thank you to Catherine from housekeeping, who made me feel so cared for and welcomed during my stay.

Got that cleared but the time when I was given the pass and when I got to the entrance, it didn't activate. It also deactivated post checkout when I was leaving the garage/ When I checked in, I asked for room service for our entire stay and NO one showed up during our entire stay! More on that later. Room is on the small side but they made up for it with the shower. The shower was the best part of our stay. However, it would have been nice to have clean towels. I was disappointed we didn't get house keeping the next day, but I asked for towels and bar soap at the desk and when we got back to our room (they never showed up) or left anything in front of our door. On the second day, we made sure the service light was on and Private light was off. When we got to our room, we came back to a messy room and NO towels. By then, we're upset. When our towels arrived, they were so ratty that I would use these as our thrash towels at home. Imagine toweling off with that because I did. This is where things get really sketchy. Don't leave out a menu for a $9 beer and charge us $12. The bartender says her manager didn't change the menu but there was a price change. Honor the price listed! That is illegal. I don't mind paying the listed price, but the audacity to upcharge $3 and expect a tip. The housekeeping experience made us check out early. There was no point hanging in a messy room. I usually tip housekeeping but there was no need for me to do so on this visit.
