Stayed at the AC hotel during the week for a work conference. Less than a 10 min walk to the Pasadena Convention Center. Amazing restaurants and coffee shops walking distance.

This is a nice property with an excellent location in downtown Pasadena. The only complaint we had is that the bathroom sink was installed such that it never fully drained. There was always standing water in the front half and it got nasty after a day’s use. Even after the room was cleaned there was still standing water in the drain.
