Since a big group of friends from out of town are coming up for MINI TAKES THE STATES-LOS ANGELES, I tried to get some reliable information about hotel accomodations in the Pasadena area. And, since I'm writing it down, I figure I may as well post it for others who may be in a similar situation of not having a clue where to stay aside from the Hilton.
Please note these are not my personal suggestions, as I have not been to any of these establishments. Think of it more as a "starting point" for your own research. :)
I will update this post as more information becomes available. Feel free to use the comment feature to add your own recommendations or "warnings"!
"The List"-- along with comments from people I trust to give me decent info (in no particular order):
Holiday Inn Express
full breakfasts, nice amenties. good rates
The Hilton - 168 S. Los Robles Avenue
The Westin - 191 N. Los Robles Avenue
(closest hotel to Rose Bowl) (California Pizza Kitchen and McCormick and Schmicks on the Property)
Courtyard by Marriott - 180 N. Fair Oaks Ave.*
(close to Rose Bowl) (near old town Pasadena, lots of shopping, restaurants nearby, very freeway close - can hop right on the 210)
The Sheraton - 303 East Cordova
near Paseo Colorado (large shopping complex)
The Langham - 1401 South Oak Knoll Avenue
(formerly The Ritz Carlton) very expensive!!
Saga Motor Hotel - 1633 E Colorado Blvd
a good value.
*While I've attempted to keep my own opinion out of this post, I will mention that this particular location was recommended by three different sources.

The Westin Las Vegas was nice, during MTTS'06 :)
ReplyDeleteWell we're going the cheap route and have made reservations at the Comfort Inn on Colorado Blvd right in Pasadena. I've never stayed there so I can't recommend anything, but have stayed at a Comfort Inn on a business trip and it was fine for me.
