Last Minute Rose Bowl Hotel Accommodations

andrea gonzales
Every year Pasadena, California prepares to greet the multitudes of college football fans converging on their city for the Rose Bowl. This year the Rose Bowl match up is the University of Southern California Trojans vs. the Penn State Nittany Lions on January 1, 2009. Most of the hotels in the area are already sold out but I've managed to find a handful that still have availability.

Courtyard by Marriott - Old Pasadena

180 North Fair Oaks Avenue

Pasadena, California 91103

Located approximately 2 miles from the Rose Bowl, The Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Pasadena/Old Town is located in the heart of Old Pasadena. All rooms are non-smoking. Their rates between Dec. 31st and Jan. 2nd range from $369.00 to $399.00 per night plus tax. And while that may seem steep, it is the only hotels in Pasadena which still has availability.

Travelocity.com has pre-paid "Good Buy" hotel accommodations within 10 miles of the Rose Bowl which still have availability. Note, Travelocity's "Good Buy" hotel reservations have strict cancellation and change policies, but since it's not likely that the date of the Rose Bowl will change, that probably won't be an issue. Look for the green "good buy" price tag by the hotels. My immediate search returned the following hotels which still have rooms available.

    Great article too bad the formatting screwed up. Love the Rose Bowl! Marched in the parade with my HS Band, and you listed some great hotels.
