Beautiful, Modern and Fun Place to stay in the best part of the Pasadena strip
Pros:

Beautiful new, high tech facility right on Colorado Blvd in the Playhouse district. Very open and well designed lobby / bar area. All furniture and fixtures in the rooms modern and still smelled new. Bathrooms sparkling clean. The rooftop restaurant/ bar is definitely a plus. Staff very helpful in getting me a view room, recommending the next-door $20 garage, and the across the street wonderful Urth Café. Many great restaurants, Playhouse district, Old Pasadena, and the USC Asian Museum all walking distance.

Cons:

Almost didn't stay here because of the $50/nite parking. Garage next door only $20.
