Howard Johnson by Wyndham Pasadena

The location was good: close to Old Town Pasadena. It was nice to have free parking and breakfast included.

The bathroom was somewhat dirty, the coffee machine didn't work, and we were on the first floor and there was a lot of noise from the parking lot. Plus, the door jam was not sealed, so light seeped in from outside all night, making me wonder about the security of the room (114), since it seemed like someone might be able to push something through the door jam and open the top security latch. So that I could finally sleep without thinking that someone would break in, I finally pushed a chair under the door handle and tried to twist a hanger around the top latch to reinforce it. When I told the (nice) front desk person about these issues in the morning, he only apologized.
