Travel tips
Because the hotel sits adjacent to another Best Western (Best Western Royale Pasadena), double-check the property name and address (3570 E Colorado Blvd) when navigating or using rideshare delivery. Parking is free, but reviews note spaces can feel narrow and may fill at peak times, so arriving earlier in the evening can help. For getting around without a car, the Del Mar / Lotus bus station is about a 5-minute walk (408 m).
