Arroyo Vista Inn

We stayed for a family wedding. The rooms and communal space were excellent. The catered meal was beyond expectations. Everything from the main dishes and sides were so much better than I was expecting and the desserts were above and beyond. If you are looking for an event space for 25 to 50 people, I highly recommended

We stayed here for a week, visiting our son and his wife who live in Highland Park, a couple of miles away. We really enjoyed the stay. The bed was comfortable and, although the bathroom fittings were a little tired, everything worked OK. The breakfast was in a pleasant room on the ground floor and the host cooked a limited range of food to order every morning. The location suited us well. We don’t hire a car when we visit LA but use Uber and walk. South Pasadena is a 15 minute walk from the property and offers the Metro into LA. The area itself is fairly well served for restaurants and bars and is much more relaxed than the neighbouring metropolis. We’ll stay there again when we next visit.

A gem of a B&B in South Pasadena. Convenient to downtown LA, Huntington Gardens, other local attractions. Easy walkkng to the light rail station and the nearby arroyo park. Great breakfasts and a chance to meet interesting fellow travelers.

My husband and I decided to attend the Rose Bowl and The Tournament of Roses Parade after it was announced his alma mater would be playing in the game. Originally, we had made reservations at a hotel but I didn't like the location or the reviews on TripAdvisor. After searching I found a room available at this gem. Let's just say I'm glad we were able to stay here. The location is a little hidden but once you make your way up the narrow drive, you are greeted by such a friendly home. Self-check-in is easy and well labeled (you expect this as it is sent in an email as well as a code to enter the door to the inn). The home is very charming and a nod to its history. We stayed in #3 on the second floor overlooking the back. Our bed was comfortable and the room spacious. The bathroom was large, too with a standard tub/bath. The only quirk is the toilet - the flange doesn't always go down, so have to jiggle the handle sometimes. We did enjoy the wine reception both nights of our stay and got to meet some of the other guests. On the day of the parade, the owners offered to shuttle guests to the parade. We took them up on the offer and it was great! We were dropped off a block from our seats in the grandstand. Saved us much time and greatly appreciated. We were given sack breakfast that day since it was before breakfast time on the weekend. The sack breakfast was great including a homemade breakfast burrito, granola bar, and yogurt along with coffee and juice. So filling and appreciated. We did take the Metro train back from Pasadena to South Pasadena and walked back to the inn, which was a fine walk. We did enjoy the homemade breakfast on Sunday - it was delicious and the company of the other guests was great. Our weekend went by too fast but we will be back for another stay at Arroyo Vista Inn.

This is a darling bed and breakfast run by a family in South Pasadena. I love how home-y the place feels. My room was very clean, and I was pleased to find out that the TV came with Amazon Prime! I arrived just in time for the happy hour, which entails a complementary glass of wine. I would love to come back and do my own writer's residency here.

I love this bed and breakfast! The common rooms are very cozy and look just like the photos in the listing. All of the rooms are different and all are super cute. The breakfast is in a lovely room and is quite good. Throughout the day, water, coffee and small snacks are available. During our stay wine looked available all day too. It is a family run business. It is lovely to see the family photos all over the interior. Every person we encountered whether staff or other guests were very nice. There is a large covered porch in the front that, on a good-weather day is nice to hang out on. I look forward to my next visit there!

Would have gave a 5 star rating but the other guests of this tiny bnd had no regard for quiet hours. Came in loud after 10 pm and was woken up at 4:30am by a domestic dispute. At breakfast they tried to get me to pay the property fee again and said breakfast was not included. Was looking forward to staying again cuz it’s cute and cozy but can’t risk my sleep.

The whole facility was charming and cozy. The room was comfortable and quiet. The bathroom was spacious and well appointed. All-in-all a delightful experience. We have already made plans to return!
