I had an overall decent stay at the Courtyard By Marriott in Pasadena, but there were definitely some drawbacks. While the location is fantastic and very convenient for dining and shopping, I found the room somewhat lacking in basic comforts and amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made my experience more pleasant despite a few issues.

While the parking garage provided easy access to the hotel floors, it wasn't secured and I felt a bit uneasy about transients coming in and out. Also, the lack of storage options in the room was disappointing.

My stay at Courtyard By Marriott Los Angeles Pasadena Old Town was a mixed bag. While the location was fantastic for exploring Old Town Pasadena, my initial experience with room cleanliness left much to be desired. The staff, however, showed both warmth and helpfulness, especially when a member went out of their way to assist me. Overall, it was a decent stay, but I expect better hygiene standards. ☹️✨

Rooms

5.0

The room I received initially was not cleaned properly, with hair and stains visible. However, after requesting housekeeping in the morning, I was moved to a cleaner room. It's worth noting that the lack of drawer space in both rooms made unpacking cumbersome.

Service

7.0

The service was a tale of two experiences. While I encountered a front desk staff member who was curt during check-in, another staff member, Janeen, was exemplary. She truly cared about my concerns and helped me find adjoining rooms for my family, showcasing a personal touch that I appreciated.

Location

The hotel's location is a major advantage, situated close to numerous shops and restaurants in Old Town Pasadena. It made exploring the area with my family quite convenient.

Dining

Breakfast was okay, but I was disappointed to see staff behaving inappropriately, like taking food without proper hygiene. The offerings were buffet-style, and the quality was pretty standard.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel had basic facilities but I did feel that the common areas, like the lobby and elevator, needed more attention in terms of cleaning. The parking garage also felt a bit sketchy.
