The place is very close to Old Pasadena, less than a 10 minute walk to all the shops and restaurants. We were staying for the Rose Bowl and it was a great option for us. They provided a parking spot and were there to help us figure out the lift style parking when we arrived. Our car did not fit in the spot (had an extremely large rental sedan), and they offered to find us free parking somewhere else on New Years Eve, which was very kind. Very communicative and great hosts!
