I stayed here while visiting CalTech recently and it was adequate. I was on the 2nd floor so I took the stairs to and from my room and the stairwell had a very weird smell. There was also a sign in the stairwell that said that the hotel contained chemicals known to cause cancer in the state of CA. I asked the staff and they said that everything is known to cause cancer in CA, which is fair enough. I still thought it odd that they hid the sign in the stairwell with the weird smell. I asked for a quiet room and the hotel staff did deliver so I was thankful for that. It had absolutely no view, but I didn't spend much time looking out the window so it wasn't a big deal. Overall, I might keep looking for another hotel in Pasadena, but this one met my needs.

Hotel property location was perfect! It was at the end of old town Pasadena where shopping, restaurants, movie theater could be found. Quick and easy from the BURBANK airport.
The room was clean - although the bathroom looked updated but the fixtures were old.
TV didnt work but we didnt bother the housekeeping folks. Starbucks in room cofffee drip! Just perfect instead of those no name brands.
The property had a full breakfast restaurant. It also had a gym, and a pool and hot tub that we all benefited! Small pool but enough for a good workout ! The pool was also outfitted for any handicapped person to use !
But beware of hidden charges - PARKING is a killer ! We didnt realize that we were getting charged until after we came home! Valet never said anything about parking rates!

When I come to Pasadena, this is where I stay. The rates are great, the service is wonderful and I feel like a VIP. The pool is large and is surrounded by lush trees, you can hear church bells going off on Sundays, and Old Town is at your fingertips for whatever you want. If you don't want to go anywhere, this Courtyard offers room service, now come on. It's a 5 out of 5.

I think this hotel has so much business it doesn't care about the guests. Hotel rooms are in need of renovation. And do not try to self park. Spaces are so small I could not get out of my car.
You have to pay for everything. No breakfast is included.
