Hotel
This is a hotel Andy and I really love! They have a very cool lobby and rooftop bar. This hotel just opened in April so it is a really fun place to go to in Pasadena. The rooms are very quaint, simple, and comfortable. https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1758922372887&key=GRP&app=resvlink
Flight
It would be easiest to fly in to Burbank Airport or LAX.
