8.6/10 Excellent! (209 reviews)
My husband and I really enjoyed staying here. We only stayed for one night but will come back next time we are in Pasadena area for an event. We were able to check in early which was very nice. They have a kiosk with a live concierge on the screen. She was very friendly and the process was fast and easy. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed. There is some freeway noise but it wasn’t too bad. The price was a huge bonus- super affordable.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (35 reviews)
Accommodation was incredible, they've thought of everything in the room. Kitchenette was very well appointed and the pool area lovely. We had an issue with toilet plumbing and called at 3am for assistance and nothing happened until repeated contact around 6 hours later. It wouldn't have been so bad had a communal toilet been available to use but there wasn't. It did make you realise how much a front desk or onsite team is needed when faced with an issue.

Not a local secret anymore. The springs are free and there is free camping along the road before the parking lot. It was such a great experience to stay warm in these pools at night under a full moon while chatting with a few other visitors until they left. Would be cool to come back another night for a meteor shower!
