I stayed in Pasadena to go to the flea market and to go shopping in downtown LA. I booked two nights but after seeing the room and finding a wad of hair in the shower, I only stayed one night. Yes, the neighborhood is very nice and nice having a place to park my car. The whole room seemed like it was thrown together..baseboard incomplete, caulking around shower looked like it was done by a two-year-old, carpet under bed looked like a scrap of carpet. Sherry and her daughter we nice and helpful when I arrived. Possibly the other two rooms are better than this one but I would not recommend to friends.
