I'm not usually a big fan of hotels with outdoor corridors because oftentimes they're a little run down. Not this one. The up keep on the grounds was a plus. There were flowers and trees and a freshly paved parking lot. The room was clean. The breakfast was assorted and well stocked. The guy at the front desk let me borrow his screwdriver set so I could work on my computer. One of the best parts was that it's within walking distance to all kinds of things so you don't have to schlep around looking for a bite to eat you can just walk a block or so. I'm giving this place two thumbs up. Not bad at all for an outdoor corridor hotel. It's all about the details and the management of this hotel understands that.

I have spent 3 years out of the last 4 at this motel for a total of about 20 days. I was completely satisfied with my room. It was large, clean, and pleasant. I only had one problem and that was a faulty remote control. If I return in 2010 and stay in Pasadena I will stay here. I was totally satisfied with it and had none of the problems I have read in the other reviews.

Needed a hotel in Pasadena for the night. The Comfort Inn desk clerk (young man) was friendly and found me a room quick and a reasonable rate. The room was basic. I just needed a place to get a good nights sleep before the long drive home in the morning. The hotel was quiet. Room clean. Breakfast provided was great, made waffles. I would stay here again. There is a good little pizza place about 2 block east.

I remember saying "Comfort Inn usually does not disappoint" in one of my previous reviews. This Comfort Inn certainly shattered that belief. This Comfort Inn is probably a Rodeway Inn with a flat-panel TV at best. The service was oh-so-terrible. The clerks at check-in and check-out made almost no eye contact nor smile. I felt as if they were doing me a favor by checking me in/out. The pool is nearly as small as a bathtub and the fitness room is anything but. How can Choice Hotels allow such a poor quality motel be called a "Comfort Inn" is beyond me.

Anyway, the worst part is the bed and air conditioning. If you sleep anywhere near the air conditioning unit, you'll be freezing throughout the night. If you sleep just one-person space away from it, it's hot and uncomfortable. The sheets are very low quality sheets that are often found in Rodeway Inn. I tossed and turned all night long.

The only good part of this stay is the breakfast, which was at par with other Comfort Inn. That's the only reason I give this place 2 stars. I would not stay here again, and if Comfort Inn continues to disappoint, I will consider staying at other inns.
