Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
The suites are very practical and comfortable They have the advantage of having a door which isolates the bedroom from the living room and therefore from the parking lot and the passageway. On the other hand, the sound insulation with the rooms above leaves something to be desired, which is a shame. The breakfast is basic motel style, but the person who welcomes you there is adorable and helpful. The surroundings of the hotel are not fun (commercial area)

I read the Yelp reviews before I booked this hotel although the ratings are not too high. However, our family has a very good experience for our stay. From complimentary parking and breakfast to stay, we received exceptional service. Definitely will go back when visiting the nearly area.

I have stayed in many hotels with higher star ratings in many parts of the world over my 68 years. While my stays at the Royal Inn have always been pleasant, this recent stay was exceptional. After completing my check-in, the desk clerk kindly reminded me that they offered a complimentary breakfast. I was looking forward to a post-covid era hotel breakfast and so I awoke early from a good night's rest and headed down to the lobby. I experienced a breakfast that far exceeded my expectations. As i entered the dining area I was met with a warm and delightful greeting from the hostess. The fare consisted not only of the usual packaged foods and fruits but also freshly prepared hot pancakes, waffles, eggs, sausage and potatoes that were as good, if not better than that of a fine restaurant. The hostess kept the serving area clean and the serving trays replenished while also assisting guests in the preparation of their waffles and offering to remove empty plates. She did all of this with smiles and friendly banter that left me feeling like a welcome guest in her home. It appeared she had this same affect on each guest. While I ate the room filled with people who were soon smiling and joining in the conversation and the laughter that this hostess engendered. I overheard a guest on her cell phone urging her husband to come down to the lobby adding, "You can't believe the breakfast down here." So, I hope that you will get to experience an "Elies breakfast" when you stay here, but I would not be surprised if Best Western or another company soon snaches her away to a more prominent position. Nevertheless, when you stay here you can count on considerate staff as well as a clean and pleasant room at a good value, but if Elies is still there it will be a stay of exceptional value.

We’ve stayed at the Best Western Pasadena Royals before. It has always offered solid value at a more reasonable price. This time it did not disappoint. Strictly observed COVID protocols restricted breakfast offerings etc., but the hotel was still a solid, clean value in an area of many overpriced hotels. We will definitely be back!

Not a place I would recommend for the simple fact we were on vacation and this place took my money for something that was not done by us even with proof with pics and video evidence the manager Joann from the name she gave said regardless if I can prove we didn't do it she was not gonna refund the money which was deposit and damage charge for a couch we didn't even rip we have video and pics. Who is gonna go on vacation just to go stab a couch a family trip they were just negligent to inspect the room prior or maybe just a scam to get money out of people. But now when we stay in hotels my children have to inspect and take pics and videos of the rooms where we stay at. I don't think that's fair for my children that every time we go on trips and stay at hotels they look and check there is nothing wrong so we don't get blamed for something we didn't even do.
Make sure if you do stay at this place you report if something is ripped or broken.I just hope no one or nobody's children have to have this ugly experience.

My family and I stayed for one night and had an overall pleasant stay for the price. We had an elderly family member so we opted for the first floor and had a room next to the stairs. The front desk were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The room was pretty clean, however, it appears the light fixtures have not been dusted in a month (or more). The beds were comfortable, but pillows were too soft for our preference. We had the complimentary breakfast and there were plenty of options (mini waffles, bread, cereal, sausage, eggs, fruits, yogurt, juices, etc.) Keep in mind that the dining area is limited if traveling in larger parties. Parking is sufficient, but may be worrisome if the hotel is packed. We were able to park near our room after coming back later around 9 pm. Location is relatively safe with multiple hotel chains on the same street and nearby highway entrances. Due to the dusty light fixtures, we may not decide not stay at this hotel in the future as several of us sneezed throughout our short stay. However, we can attest that the pricing of the hotel along with its accommodations were fairly priced overall.

Skimpy breakfast, Mini coffee cups no food to your room. No personnel or security on premises between 12AM and 6AM, was warned hotel would not be responsible for any damage to our vehicle. This made us feel nice and cozy. Was told 2 times that $100.00 would be held back on my card until it was determined no damage to room. We are seniors not purple haired teens.

The hotel room had a very unpleasant odor from the sink. When I reported this ad let the staff know I was not happy, they said I can very well go to another hotel. After a lot of struggle, they offered to stay in another room. The air conditioner in the room was broken. The fan would not turn on and even after I complained they offered no help. The worst part of the room was the toilet bowl. It was extremely filthy. I complained and requested to clean it. But was offered no help. I had to stay for 2 nights with this. I travelled with my family with 2 children. I wanted hot water for the kids at night and the staff would not allow me to access the filter in the main lobby and said it’s hotel policy and will not allow access even if it is for little kids. The note has really unfriendly staff , inefficient at their work, and filthy rooms. I am never stating in this hotel again.

We were pleasantly surprised with Best Western Pasadena Royale when we stayed in January 2020. Although an older style property with individual entrance doors, our room was a suite with separate bedroom and sitting room and was very spacious. The property is clean and well maintained. The free hot breakfast provided the usual items of scrambled eggs, bacon, oatmeal, waffles, fruit, etc. and is served on disposable plates with plastic utensils. The location is very convenient, with good access to the 210 Freeway. There is a second Best Western nearly adjacent to this one on Colorado Blvd but the Royale is supposed to be a slightly better property.

We were celebrating a new job, and when I made the reservation I mentioned that and we were upgraded to a suite. I have stayed at this hotel in a standard room, which was nice, but the suite was not only larger, but seemed better in every way. The bed was so comfortable- I have back problems and I’m seldom satisfied with hotel mattresses. This mattress was firm with enough support. In fact I wish I could have brought it home with me! The breakfast buffet is really good. They have the basic cereal, yogurt, bread and pastries, but also both pancakes and waffles that you make yourself, and eggs, potatoes and either sausage or bacon depending on the day. I would recommend this hotel to any type of guest.

No, but suites are the best choice, here is my review from our visit 6 monts ago:
Not so much to say, BW+ motelstyle. Cleaning, breakfast and service was fine, suites are the best choice, a little more expensive but worth it. Partly remodelled. Choose a room not facing the street, I think most suites are away from the noise. Pool is not heated so not an option in January. No gym.
I presume that you are going to the parade...Lucky you! From Lax, take the gold line to the Sierra Madre station. Walk under the freeway to Colorado St then turn left. Walk about 1/2 mile to the hotel which is across the street. Total walking distance about 3/4 mile. There is an extensive bus system in Pasadena which is FREE from Dec. 31st until Jan. 2nd. The closest point to the parade is about 1 3/4 mile up Colorado turning left from the hotel. Get a route map and schedule from the internet. I hope this helps.
