The staff was very friendly and the hotel was very clean. The only negative comment I have is the rootop restaurant - Osa. The service was very very slow and poor customer service. Although the burger was good, the fries were so salty they burned our mouth.

The breakfast is subpar with limited options. 3 times in a row i was charged for the breakfast that shoukd have been comped as a perk for booking with expedia. This hotel is new and you can tell they are still working through the kinks. Room never got cleaned or soap filled in the ahower.

We stayed for leisure and had a great experience. The hotel is modern, clean, and comfortable, with an excellent bar area that was perfect for relaxing. The street views overlooking downtown Pasadena were a nice touch and added to the overall vibe. We also brought our Yorkie, Sylvester, and the experience was seamless for him as well. I’d absolutely recommend AC Hotel Pasadena to friends or business associates.
