Arroyo Vista Inn - South Pasadena, California

The inn is nicely kept, plenty of seating in common areas. Room 10 had a comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. The reason for a 3: no one greets you on arrival, “happy hour” was 2 bottles of wine left on a sideboard and a few packages of ritz crackers with fake cheese. Breakfast was ok, nothing more than basic and inn keeper was a bit unorganized. Overall an okay experience but probably wouldn’t stay here again.

We booked through daystay.com to celebrate our anniversary. We decided to come here for some R and R and have the opportunity to get ready to go out to dinner without our kids interfering. Sadly the inn staff made sure that this happened.. We started to get phone calls and 2 knocks on the door 20 min before our check out time. Then we were confronted by the housekeeper asking us what time we were leaving. This disturbance was rude and unprofessional. We felt like we were being pushed out and treated less equal because we didn’t book through the inns direct website.

To make matters worse. I attempted to raise these concerns to management the day after and we have gotten no response. It has been 2 days without any explanation

I will never ever stay here again. We will make it a point to tell all of our contacts friends and family about this terrible establishment.

What a wonderful stay! My only complaint is that I couldn't stay longer - I was in and out for business. Run by a family, the place is spotless. They have a casual happy hour late afternoon with wine and snacks - an opportunity to meet your fellow guests. My room had a lovely shared patio looking out to the mountains. The bed was super comfortable, and I had a desk to work on. I was cramming for work, so ordered delivery from a long list of excellent restaurants the B&B provided. And will take this opportunity to thank them for accommodating my special request. Highly recommend this lovely inn - perfect for a couple's weekend getaway or a family trip.

I have been going to Arroyo Vista Inn for nearly a decade. This is a home away from home where I have stayed and have brought family and friends, all of whom enjoyed their stays tremendously. As a resident of South Pasadena, there have been occasions where I've needed an escape from the intense heat, issues with my own residence or just a getaway from it all as I did last Sunday. I've stayed in many of the rooms, all with their charms and singularities but my current favourite is room number 4, Daybreak Terrace, because it has a gorgeous clawfoot tub. I spent a relaxing evening soaking and listening to the owl hooting outside my window and the quiet chant of critckets. I've been caretaking for a very ill relative so this one night escape left me feeling like I'd had a long weekend. The room has lovely details, a four poster bed and faces the mountainside and its greenery. I highly recommend Arroyo Vista for its welcoming rooms, spotlessly clean and comfortable spaces and old world (1910) charm with modern conveniences.

Had fun getting to know the other guests during happy hour and meeting our hosts. Breakfast was tasty and made to order. Location was a short drive from the attractions we wanted to see. We'll be glad to visit again.

My husband and I had the privilege of staying at the Arroyo Inn for 9 nights. We stayed in the #2 Veranda room second floor.||Very spacious, quiet, clean room with a nice bathroom.|There’s also a 3 tiered wire rack in the bathroom which was perfect for all our toiletries etc. .|A large wardrobe chest in the room was plenty spacious for our clothes.|Bed was super comfy with lovely bedding.||We enjoyed our room’s balcony, along with lounging in the huge living room & sitting out on the covered front porch also.||As different guests left, I was able to peek in most of the other rooms which were also very nice.|| On the 2nd & 3rd floors, an alcove area has a small frig/freezer & microwave for guests convenience. So thoughtful.||Breakfasts were made by Janice (Inn owner) and were very tasty and plentiful.|Her staff (Blanca & Edna) are welcoming & helpful also.||A choice of red or white wine with packaged pretzels/cheezits for Happy Hour. Not all B&B’s provide this, so super nice.||Overall a very nice B&B home that we thoroughly enjoyed staying in & will return.

This hotel provides beautiful rooms, nicely presented and decorated. We felt almost like at home in a very cozy environment. The location was good when visiting Los Angeles, Hollowood, Beverly Hill, etc. We loved the hostality and especially the nice breakfast freshly cooked every morning for a reasonable extra- charge.

Choose The Bissell House instead! Place stole our money, lied, and blamed everyone else.
For our anniversary I booked this "charming" B & B. I even emailed them several times in the days before we arrived asking various questions that they answered. However when we arrived we were told our room's air conditioning didn't work and that they had NO way to get a hold of me before hand to let me know.
I HAD JUST BEEN TALKING TO THEM VIA EMAIL...
I was dumbstruck. I emailed twice and they said nothing about air. They said they had a "sister" hotel they often send guests to and we took a drive to hotel only to find a motel 6 like motel. I cried. We quickly told owner we would not be staying there and after a long time I found another hotel at 4 times the cost.
I was very disappointed, but MORE disappointed is that this B & B would NOT give me my money back. I waited for 5 days!!! Spoke to owner and she blamed the travel site I purchased this through and us for not purchasing it through her. The travel site said the B & B would NOT refund the money when they called. How sad. Finally I spoke to the owner and she said she would "try" to get "some" money back from other motel they sent us to.
Just so terribly unprofessional.
This is an example when a reputable business "eats" the cost and realizes how awful they would feel if put in our shoes. She even said the motel was "nice."
So I warn you not to go here. They will take your money and send you to a motel if they have to. Really very sad!
