Best Western Pasadena Royale Inn & Suites

The room was perfect for our one night stay. We booked a King suite and appreciated the separate living area. The room was nice and quiet with room darkening shades. The breakfast was the most complete we have had since the pandemic. We travel quite a bit and most hotels are still doing cheap grab and go continental breakfasts. This full breakfast was a welcome surprise.

The buffet breakfast is top notch: Both cold and hot foods. And the eating area is comfortable and rather festive -- thanks to an energetic employee who keeps things going (bringing in additional food, asking if anyone needs anything and removing used utensils. It is really a first class operation. And, at 83, I have seen a lot of breakfast accommodations in various grades of hotels.

It’s clean and not far from downtown Pasadena, basically about 10 minutes down Colorado Blvd. It’s also close to Eaton Canyon. The woman who tends the breakfast in the morning is so awesome!!! She makes sure everyone is happy and taken care of. She is incredibly nice and friendly.

Everything was wonderful, (5 stars) The staff were professional and courteous to guest. it was our first time traveling with grandchildren. The morning breakfast was great and on time for my grandsons, all their favorite items were on the menu presentation. The sofa bed was perfect for our little guys to stretch out on, and the had their own TV to navigate. They enjoyed the pool and elevator (giggles) Our memories made with them were priceless.

This hotel has one of the friendliest staffs of any hotel we have ever stayed in. You can tell that every person working there is trying hard to make sure you have a good experience, which is something rarely seen these days, especially at a Best Western level hotel. In addition to the wonderful staff, the rooms were clean and quiet and the hot breakfast was very good. Our "suite" room had a door between the living area with the sofa bed and the bedroom, providing extra privacy that is not always found in rooms where someone is sleeping on the sofa. The king bed was firm but very comfortable. As is usually the case, the sofa bed was not very comfortable for an adult but would have been fine for kids. The location of the hotel is conveniently close to old town Pasadena, the Rose Bowl and other attractions in the area. Thank you to all the staff members who are working hard to make the Royale a great place to stay.
