    • View of Westin courtyard cafe - Pasadena
    View of Westin courtyard
    cafe
    by pedersdottir
    Water, water everywhere! A tiled mural fountain greets guests at the main entrance, a lion fountain burbles in the lobby. The courtyard cafe echoes with the splashing and dancing waters of Plaza las Fuentes. With interior stucco and tilework faintly reminiscent of a Moorish palace, the hotel is bright and spacious.

    Rooms are airy and comfortably furnished in a pleasing, contemporary style. Here, the shuttered windows actually open! Amenities include in-room Starbucks coffee, turn-down service with nightime chocolates on your pillow and terry robes for evening relaxation. Bathrooms are spa-like.

    Staff are friendly and very service-oriented. When faced with a glitch with our reservation, the front desk promptly corrected it.

    The hotel shares the Plaza las Fuentes with several other buildings.

    Although the Westin's courtyard cafe was charming, less expensive food options were available across the Plaza, at California Pizza Kitchen and McCormick & Schmicks Seafood Restaurant. All three offered good dining and great service.

    For 3 people the room rate was $180.00.
    Underground parking with unlimited access added $6.00 to the daily bill. It was convenient and well worth the cost.

    Saga Motor Hotel: For a Comfortable Stay

    • It looks like a motel. It feels like a charming Bed & Breakfast. The Saga is a very comfortable place to stay in Pasadena.

    Easy to reach, on Pasadena's main street, the Saga offers a step up in decor and amenities from bargain-brand motels. The lobby and breakfast room surround the traveller with the cozy feeling of a country kitchen. Light wood furnishings and chintz prints predominate in the inviting and comfortably furnished bedrooms. The friendly staff serve up a deluxe continental breakfast with fresh fruits and homemade-looking breads.

    The heated pool is enclosed in a garden setting - a relaxing spot to unwind at the end of the day. For longer stays, complimentary laundry service is available.

    At a AAA rate of $80.00 per day for a double room, the cost is reasonable for the Pasadena area. Parking is free.

    Vagabond Inn Pasadena: Nothing Fancy    Check Rates

    • pedersdottir
  • Updated By pedersdottir on November 17, 2004
    • For the traveller on a budget, the Vagabond is easily accessible, offers adequate free parking and very basic rooms - clean but Spartan.

    Business travellers are accommodated with a large working desk and good lighting - along with adequate supplies of coffee (both in-room and in the lobby).

    The free continental breakfast consists of coffee and a Danish.
    There is a small outdoor pool on the parking lot premises that is kept locked. It seems to be used infrequently.

    For the Pasadena area, the AAA rate of $60.00 a day plus free parking is considered a bargain.

    With a Trader Joe's market and fast food restaurants nearby, the Vagabond Inn is an OK stop for a night or two.

    Westin Pasadena: Not up to Westin Standards    Check Rates

    The entrance to this Westin is about the largest highlight of my stay to this Pasadena hotel. I was not impressed at all with the staff, check-in, room, or valet service here.

    My first impression was from the GPS system that I use in the Hertz rent-a-car (a must for the business traveler). It did not have the Westin Pasadena in it, because this hotel used to be a Doubletree... so if you are using any GPS navigation, plug in the doubletree if you want to get there.

    The valet parking was very slow, and did not have a single member that spoke English. The check-in staff was slow, and actually took 3 phone calls to them until they finally could explain how to gain access to their internet. (Tip: If you are checking in, get a username and access code, since there is no way to do it from your room).

    The bed was the saving grace for this hotel, as it is a Westin Heavenly bed. I was out by page 2... (their commercial on how fast it is to fall asleep).

    Also, make sure you have your gum or water when you arrive... 5 sticks of sugarfree gum and a bottle of water came to $6!!

    The Bissell House: From Carpet Sweepers to Bed & Breakfast Inn

    Front door of the Bissell
    House
    by keida84
    This lovely victorian mansion was built in 1887 and sits at the south end of what is known as "Millionaire's Row."

    Although she did not build the house, Anna Bissell McCay, daughter of Melville Bissell inventor of the carpet sweeper lived in the house from 1903 to the 1950's. This is who the house is named for.

    We stayed in the "Morning Glory" room done in shades of blue and cream. Fresh flowers from the rose garden were on the tables. Morningtime is my favorite time of the day, with the sunlight streaming through the windows on an early summer's morning revealed the apt name for this room.

    I give the Bissell House a high recommendation and look forward to returning one day.

    A most delicious breakfast was served downstairs in the Bissell House dining room; an elegant table laden with china, crystal and candles.

    An afternoon "tea" with chocolate cake that my husband gorged himself on was presented in the living room. The house has a welcome feel to it, what I mean is I felt comfortable in all the common areas; conversing with other guests and reading a book from the Bissell House library.

    Since it was summertime, the pool was inviting as well as refreshing, and the robes provided made going up and down the stairs in your bathing suit comfortable.

    I ended up falling in love with the bathrobes and searched the internet until I found a vendor with a reasonable price. I could have purchased it at the Bissell House but I did not want the logo on my bathrobe.

    In August, Sarah and I made the venture to visit California for the first time together. The reason for the trip was my 10 yr. high school reunion, and we decided we would play our hotel by ear. Since I did not know whether or not I would be too tired to drive back up to my parents home or not, I decided to wait until 11pm to book.

    Not a problem at the Sheraton. We were able to get a very nice suite here, and the accomodations were nice. Minibar, TVs, living space, bathroom, and comfortable sweet sleeper bed!

    We stayed with Jeannie and Joe, two very nice people who are kind of related with us. At the time we were there their house was located in Madison Avenue (they have moved now). I find the neighbourhood fantastic. It's kind, and not dangerous at all.

    Courtyard Los Angeles Old Pasadena: Marriott Hotel right in Old Town Pasadena    Check Rates
    GracesTrips
  • By GracesTrips on June 25, 2008
    • So, if you want to choose a hotel right in Old Town Pasadena, this is a good one. Located on Fair Oaks, it's a few blocks north of Colorado Blvd.

    I have not stayed at this particular Marriott but my boyfriend has when he first moved here. Since he lives in the area, there isn't a reason for us to stay in a hotel in Pasadena.

    • I spent four day here around Thanksgiving, sometimes a quiet time at hotels. The staff was very professional. The room I had was a suite and was worth the money. It is near old town Passadena and its shopping and restaraunts. The convention center is just out side the front door. Despite being in the middle of things the hotel is very quiet (maybe the season I was there).

    The best quality is the short walk to Old Town.
