Top Pasadena Hotel Reviews
Hilton Los Angeles Airport
"Clean room, friendly staff, convenient"
Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel
"If you are going by shuttle to and from the airport, give yourself time because it appears that only one shuttle is running. So on top of the hour you have a shuttle running, not every 20 minutes like they tell you at the front desk."
citizenM Los Angeles Downtown
"The hotel has many good qualities such as recycling and less focus on using plastic. However, they need to add some basic qualities to make it a better experience. Temperature control was a bit off in the suite. There's no tea maker and even the hot water in their tap wasn't hot so not sure if they expect patrons to go down at 12 to their bar / canteen at midnight if they want a night tea. I would not recommend for a business trip since this should be standard but it's nice for a short visit in downtown LA. I appreciate their effort to be eco friendly and probably the only hotel I stayed in that had this effort."
Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX
"My experience is good."
Hilton Garden Inn LAX Los Angeles Airport
"Just need a parking lot. we have issues to take out the car from the parking."
The LINE Hotel
"Great hotel only thing that we didnโt like was that the AC was not cold enough"
Pasadena Hotel & Pool
"Classy looking hotel in prime location, convenient to all restaurants, but parking is a little far"
Sheraton Universal Hotel
"Great room , and service was exceptional. I will most definitely use this place again."
Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City
"This was my first time staying here and if the prices were more reasonable we would stay here all the time if we go to universal studios. Only thing I didnโt like was the shower water pressure. Bed and pillows were lovely and comfortable."
