I was very excited about this new hotel, however it was a bit off. It’s brand new and yet it’s lacked some thoughtfulness. The staff was lively! The rooms air conditioning rattled and the fridge and assembled closet/shelf unit rattled all night. I know this is a silly complaint to have, however if you need silence to sleep it might distract you.

We had a good stay. Highlights were the hotel staff, the breakfast, the downstairs lounge, the same-floor water dispenser, the street parking a block away, the fitness center availability, presence of USB plugs in the room, easily configured Netflix. Room and fitness center were very clean. Very minor issues included: rooftop closing early (we were told at 10:30pm we couldn't have a drink as they were closing), room toilet tends to stay stuck in flush mode, the courtyard view is nothing to speak of, rooms can feel claustrophobic as they're on the smaller & darker side. What we'll remember: breakfast and close-by street parking free til 10am. If we look again for a hotel in the same area, we'll consider staying here again.

This property is beautifully designed. We loved the lobby bar that opens up to downtown Pasadena. Staff throughout were super helpful and nice. Market, water refill & great breakfast set up are all really practical. Our room was small but had everything you could need & was spotlessly clean. Comfy bed! Didn’t get a chance to check out the rooftop but we were staying on the 6th floor and it always looked buzzing - will def go back. Will only be staying at this hotel when visiting Pasadena from now on.
