Top Pasadena Hotel Reviews

Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City

10/10 Excellent

"It was a quick walk to the park or the shuttle was available every 15 minutes. They have a gift shop/store inside the hotel, which was nice BUT had very overpriced energy drinks. Hotel offered bag storage before and after check out. Breakfast (which is an add on) was very good. Overall, 10/10 would recommend and will return."

E-Central Downtown Los Angeles Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Front office staff were excellent. Efficient and friendly. We did not eat at the hotel"

Pasadena Hotel & Pool

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at this boutique hotel. The room was comfortable and clean with a contemporary layout and appointments. The best part is the location. Near good coffee shops. Also enjoyed the breakfast burritos and coffee at bbad (breakfast burritos all day) attached to the lobby."

Courtyard by Marriott Pasadena/Old Town

8/10 Good

"The only thing I didn't like was that the $40 per day parking fee wasn't disclosed until after I'd already booked the room."

Sheraton Universal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay and beautiful view. The shuttle to Universal Studios was a huge plus especially for Horror nights."
