I cannot say enough great things about my recent stay at the AC Hotel Pasadena, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the outstanding customer service provided by Roman. From the moment I arrived, Roman went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and taken care of. His professionalism, attentiveness, and warm demeanor made all the difference — if I could give 10 stars out of 10 for customer service, I absolutely would! The room itself was breathtaking — hands down the most beautiful hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, and the atmosphere was modern, calming, and luxurious. Cleanliness was clearly a top priority as well. The room was spotless, fresh, and impeccably maintained, which added to the overall comfort of the stay. If you’re looking for a hotel that combines elegance with truly impeccable service, look no further than the AC Hotel Pasadena — and be sure to ask for Roman. He’s a true gem and a shining example of what hospitality should be!

Great hotel and location! Easy walk to grab a meal and a quick drive to downtown Pasadena as well as other nearby cities/neighborhoods. Love the workout room in this hotel, it has a good assortment of weights and cardio machines to help you get your work-out in while you are traveling. The hotel is fairly new so the interior and exterior look great. Also, I like the way the lounge area is set-up ...there is a fairly spacious area near the loop where you can enjoy a light meal and/or work on your computer. The bar offers a decent assortment of wine, etc and seating the extends to the outside which is also nice in the evening. Overall, the hotel feels bright and welcoming, particularly the first floor.
