I just completed a two night stay at the Pasadena Hilton and have no issues. Rooms were fine, a decent amount of cardio equipment (but folks were there at 9pm and I still had to wait ), staff was nice enough. Parking in the garage is a bit of a pain as it's back behind the building or you can valet. Location for my purposes was excellent.

The only bad thing was they didn't seem to know more than Starbucks for breakfast suggestions outside the hotel.
