Stayed for a night - Mom, dad and 2 girls. It was a good experience and we enjoyed our stay. Parking was easy, breakfast was okay, probably it’s time to get a waffle maker but other than that it was all good.

Parking was avaliable around the property. The location was perfect for an event that was attending at the Pasadena Fairgrounds, located 10mins away. Staff was very helpful and the cleanliness was outstanding. The pool and fitness center we're great and having breakfast at the location was a plus, didn't need to go looking out for somewhere to eat. Overall this place was more than what was expecting and I'd be more than happier to stay here again.
