Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Pasadena-Colorado Boulevard, an IHG Hotel

We stayed here while visiting universal studios and the Griffith observatory and found the location to be great value vs staying nearer to universal city. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable. There was an issue with the room only having one bed when we arrived but they quickly changed us to one with two as per the booking. Breakfast was typical American style, provided great choices and the pancakes and biscuits were lovely.

This was the BEST free continental breakfast I’ve ever seen! They had so much food compared to other places I’ve stayed. Biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, omelets, cereal, pancakes, bagels, toast, muffins, bacon, sausage. The rooms were very clean and the location was near a great taco spot. The pool was great for hanging our or doing a few laps. I will 100% stay here again

Breakfast was great. Location clean and well located. Room in perfect condition. I would definitely stay here again. I travelled with my wife for our daugther´s hooding ceremony and everything went well, starting certainly with a perfect and energizing breakfast ! Well done fellows.

Good but would have been nice to have breakfast potatoes or some kind of hash brown. I had eggs and omelettes which were both tasty, but then there were around 3 or 4 different types of meat/sausage/etc. I don’t eat meat and neither do a lot of Californians. Otherwise good varied selection.

I have booked this hotel 3 times every time I visit LA. I like this hotel because it's easy access to the locations I need to go to. Receptionists are friendly, rooms are clean, and they have free breakfasts.
