Tied to the spiffy new Convention Center, this low-lying Sheraton has two things going for it: really comfortable beds and a convenient location in the Civic Center hub, an easy walk to the shops, theatres and restaurants of the Paseo Colorado, and a bit longer walk (six to ten blocks) to the Playhouse District and Old Pasadena. Otherwise it’s nothing special.
