I inspected Pasadena Inn ahead of time, when my family came to visit me, and found pleasant, spacious, clean, motel-style accomodations. When my family checked in, they kept telling me, ""What a nice room!""
Not only is Chandra restaurant next door, the very nice Parkway Grill, Arroyo Chop House and Houston's restaurants are all walking distance. Old Town Pasadena is also just a few blocks away. Trader Joe's, too, so you can stock the fridge in the room!
And its just two blocks from the new Metro Rail Gold station, too.
