“Wish I were sleeping instead of writing this review at 6:00 a.m.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

Stay somewhere else. This is our third day here. We're on vacation. Haven't had a good night's sleep since leaving home. The walls are so thin, we were awakened this morning at 5:30 a.m. by the TV next door and hearing a man blowing his nose. The pillows are hard as rocks and 8" thick. Plan to bring your own pillow. It's California so expect low water pressure too. One more night and we'll be out of here. YEAH!!!

Room Tip: Bring your own pillow and ear plugs.

“Close to downtown, funny smell”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 20, 2012

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.

Dear Contributor,

Thanks so much for taking the time to engage our staff with your observations. If we don’t hear about issues, they are pretty hard to fix. Very happy to learn that our staff was able to deliver for you on that quiet room.

Certainly hope you will consider coming back when travel brings you our way.

“Easy in and out Hotel - no fuss”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2012

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!

Room Tip: Higher floors to be away from noise level. Small property so it does get booked and busy! Valet and...

“It's like being in an upscale boutique property without the attitude or price.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2012

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.

“Only thing nice about this hotel is the lobby”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2012

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.

Room Tip: Make sure you ask where the room is. Coming in from the parking garage can be a long walk. Only adva...
