The shower is roomy and lovely. The bathroom is a good size for a hotel and there was ample closet and drawer space. A coffee maker and fridge completed the space.
The lounge "happy hour" was laughable Tuesday night. The grey stuff did not look delicious and the minimal salad fixing left a lot to be desired .
The lounge itself is a good space, eating and lounging seat options. Open all day for Water 6am for breakfast and 530 for a disappointing happy hour.
The breakfast options in the lounge were far more complete if I didn't have so many food issues i would have had a full meal there every day.
On Thursday the hotel became home to dozens of animals...you see there was the groomers convention going on at the convention center next door and the dogs abounded....and they were loud. And yes I could hear them down the hall across the hall through the door and through the wall. it's not my responsibility to know everything that's happening in Pasadena when I'm visiting. But I do believe that it is the courtesy of the hotel to tell me if there's going to be dozens of animals around. Especially for those of us that are allergy prone.
Now should the other downside of the convention parking became a disaster. The signs in the parking structure are not helpful. They simply point to the directions that the buildings are but not who should park where. So at one point my car was blocked in by two cars and had to have valet's move them. At other points there were no parking spots for me and I had to park in a spot that said reserved on those who did not have the right to park there would be towed. At this point I complained to the front desk and they said no where the cones are is for you. this was on my last day of the visit at no point had I been told that I could move a cone to park. I should say that after complaining that my parking was compensated for my stay. But I'm sure that there's other people that didn't complain that were just out of luck.
The room was well appointed and clean. The bed was comfortable, medium firm. There were 2 types of pillows on the bed 2 soft and 2 firm. This is much appreciated. There was a pool though I did not partake. No hot tub.
if I were going to something at the convention center I would stay there otherwise I'd find another hotel in Pasadena.
