The 8 best Motels in Pasadena, United States
Most famous for hosting the annual New Year's Tournament of Roses Parade and Rose Bowl, Pasadena is more than just a football town. Its extravagant City Hall boasts a beautiful Baroque dome, a courtyard garden and relaxing fountain. On South Orange Boulevard, known as Millionaires' Row, there are landmarked mansions to rival the most opulent homes of Beverly Hills. That chattering in the air is probably the local population of naturalized Red-crowned Amazon parrots.

"Elies breakfast"
Reviewed By MohavetredI have stayed in many hotels with higher star ratings in many parts of the world over my 68 years. While my stays at the Royal Inn have always been pleasant, this recent stay was exceptional. After completing my check-in, the desk clerk kindly reminded me that they offered a complimentary breakfast. I was looking forward to a post-covid era hotel breakfast and so I awoke early from a good night's rest and headed down to the lobby. I experienced a breakfast that far exceeded my expectations. As i entered the dining area I was met with a warm and delightful greeting from the hostess. The fare consisted not only of the usual packaged foods and fruits but also freshly prepared hot pancakes, waffles, eggs, sausage and potatoes that were as good, if not better than that of a fine restaurant. The hostess kept the serving area clean and the serving trays replenished while also assisting guests in the preparation of their waffles and offering to remove empty plates. She did all of this with smiles and friendly banter that left me feeling like a welcome guest in her home. It appeared she had this same affect on each guest. While I ate the room filled with people who were soon smiling and joining in the conversation and the laughter that this hostess engendered. I overheard a guest on her cell phone urging her husband to come down to the lobby adding, "You can't believe the breakfast down here." So, I hope that you will get to experience an "Elies breakfast" when you stay here, but I would not be surprised if Best Western or another company soon snaches her away to a more prominent position. Nevertheless, when you stay here you can count on considerate staff as well as a clean and pleasant room at a good value, but if Elies is still there it will be a stay of exceptional value.

Not for Construction Workers
Reviewed By HcnerFI have had my crews stay at Best Westerns from Portland, OR all the way down to El Centro, CA without issue-Until this property. They didn't like myself or my crew and in return, I really didn't like them, their management or owners. I have been a "Diamond Select" member for the past 3 years. This is supposed to mean something-but not at this property. I don't want to continue bashing this property, but just know it's not for people in construction. I saw it was used for the casual traveler, some people seemed to be long term tenants, and men/women having "discreet encounters". The rooms are okay. There are no microwaves in the room. They have a "common" (no COVID issues there eh?) microwave in the laundry room-which closes at 10PM. The mattress was a little too firm for me personally. They have a great selection of cable channels. Plenty of other amenities-towels, hand towels, Coffee Maker, etc. I can't comment on room service as there isn't any due to COVID. The rooms are clean upon initial entry. They did accommodate us with items we had delivered for my project so I was grateful for that.

Overpriced for what you get
Reviewed By snorth259164Hi priced for advertisement of free parking and breakfast. Breakfast was bread, cereal and a single buffet serving dish with hot water and eggs. Room was very clean but beds were hard so if you are looking for a good night sleep you will not get it.

Never again
Reviewed By V1202ZWrogercSmall boutique hotel. It's very clean good wifi. Very limited parking which was a pain, but the most annoying thing is that this hotel has the nerve to say no visitors after I've checked in. This is a choice hotel property if you want to have a no visitor policy then you shouldn't be part of the Choice hotel family. I'll never stay here again.

Dirty and falling apart
Reviewed By B4129Everything was falling apart. We had both the toilet paper holder and towel rack come off the walls within the first 10 mins of being in the room. Bed didn’t even have a fitted sheet on it. Definitely was not a clean room and was so bad we left and booked another hotel after one night. Don’t make the same mistake we did.
