Arroyo Vista Inn

Stayed 2 nights to go see Oasis. Easy check in and out and out and close to the rose bowl. It’s on a hill top so you have to drive up a kind of steep one lane drive way and the parking lot is limited. I like the location of the facility and wish we had more time to enjoy it. Cons are it’s outdated, loud air conditioning and the toilet stopped flushing on our second night there, luckily my bf was able to fix the toilet. Staff was no where to be seen but when I called they responded right away which was nice.

I was disappointed when I was told breakfast was included and when I ordered two eggs one day out of 7 , I was charged $19 for two eggs and told I had a room that breakfast was not included even though I was told it was included originally. A B&B means Bed AND Breakfast, The Stay was over $1300 for 7 nights that should include a breakfast. Other than that I enjoyed staying there and socializing with other guests and enjoyed the patio.

The parking is treacherous.

The location and the common areas. My stay was pleasant but I wasn’t aware that booking through a third party means that you couldn’t choose your room. I thought I booked a room with a view but upon arrival I was put into a room on the first floor by the office. The room was clean but had a giant glass door that had window film for privacy. This didn’t provide me much privacy as I was on the first floor and that giant door was faced towards the front porch giving anyone who walked into the inn a slight glimpse into the room. Considering I’m a single woman I didn’t feel comfortable with that. At night there was a considerable amount of light that flooded the room because of the glass door being faced towards the porch. The inn was considerably quiet but when people talked it was very audible from the room I was placed in. I shouldn’t be able to hear people’s conversations clearly. I could also hear staff washing dishes. Overall it was a pleasant stay. It was clean and in a beautiful area. The inn was quaint and charming.

My three (3) day stay was pleasant. Very nice B&B. Insufficient parking when full. Overall I would return.

Janice the host was very accommodating, check-in was the fastest ever (simple pick up your key on the desk). Parking was a little tight, don't bring a huge vehicle.

静かでよいが駐車場が狭い。

It was a great place, nice rooms, pretty quiet and relaxing. Narrow entrance/exit though, parking was tight as well.

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!

I like that it was set up on a hill and relatively quiet. Where it fell short was in the area of service. What was promised to be a daily wine and cheese happy hour turned out to be bagged snacks and having to request more wine to be brought out. If not, it was simply what was left in the bottles from the day before.

What a gem! Do yourself a favor and stay here if you're looking for a space in this area. Quiet, cozy, clean, and miles above the typical hotel experience.

Next to the coffee pot in the room was a jar with what I assumed would be filters and coffee. Instead it was filled with some liquid and a moldy item. And there was no iron in the room

Very good value. Plentiful free parking, and great staff. Rooms are comfortable and clean. We will be back.

This place is top-drawer! Clean, quiet, and an excellent breakfast. Can't think of a single negative.

It was a very good experience. The room was very clean.

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.

Room was spotless. Easy to enter and leave the Inn with the access code.

Beautiful hotel

Always a great experience to stay at the Arroyo, very comfortable, laid back, peaceful and very clean & neat. My kind of place!!

Beautiful location that is close to great restaurants. Nice sized rooms.

I really loved this room! Very spacious and cozy, with a small balcony. My favorite part, though, was the deep soaking tub in the bathroom. Amazing. However, the guests staying above me arrived late and were clomping around in hard-soled shoes until midnight. The Inn made a big deal of "be considerate of other guests and keep noise down after 9 pm," but apparently, these people did not get the memo! Also, I woke to the smell of marijuana (6:30 am!) coming from somewhere in the hotel, even though signs were posted saying No Smoking indoors ($300 fine). Perhaps because no one is on-site after 6 pm, it's difficult to enforce the rules. Which is too bad, because otherwise, I really loved this place. If I ever do stay here again, I will be sure to book a room on the top floor!!!

I love this place. It’s easy to check in and rooms are beautiful.

I reserved the lanai room so I could have a lanai. The room they put me in does not have a lanai.

WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE EVER. Picked up key in "lobby" when we arrived and it was marked "B1." We looked around for a map or guide, but nothing. So we assumed "B" mean the second level of the house and went up to find Room 1 open and assumed it was ours (we had arrived when we said we would, so figured they had opened the room for us). But the key didn't work so not the right room? Looked around the house and yelled into the office for help. Nothing, so we called the number for the inn and they said they would send someone to help us. Guy came and said our room is "in the back" (that is, NOT in the house as advertised). He walked us down the driveway past all kinds of crap (see photos--our view going from our car to the room each time) to another building where they had converted some portion of what might have been a basement into a tiny room (400 sq. ft.). The guy asked our plans for the next day "because we're going to making noise upstairs doing some work." Sure enough a racket ensued the next day, hammering, etc. Next to our "room" was another of these converted spaces and because there is absolutely no soundproofing, we were subjected to the loud and clear sounds of the couple next door having sex. Then, we got the whole post-coital talk as well. There was no dresser or closet in the room, just a coat rack. One bar of soap to move from sink to shower. No kleenex. No cups. Not enough parking spaces, especially if you come back late at night. An f'ing ripoff.

Amazing view, wonderfully hostess. We decided to try something different (normally stay in Hilton or Marriott chains), and loved it

The owner was lovely and the place was very cute. Will definitely be back.

Excellent B&B . Wonderful atmosphere. Janice and Russ are excellent hosts . Breakfast was delicious too . Highly recommend for a staycation .

The host was the kindest.

Quiet and very nice but we had trouble getting the door code to check in

The room was really nice and comfortable. I didn’t get an email with the door code and arrived late. It was hard to get the code to get in. At breakfast I was at the table 20-30 minutes before someone asked if I wanted breakfast. There was no one to ask or a menu or a bell. Just nothing. Also, there are items out in dishes that look available to guests. Be careful there is a cost to all the items. It just felt like everything you did there was an extra charge for everything.

Janice the host was very accommodating, check-in was the fastest ever (simple pick up your key on the desk). Parking was a little tight, don't bring a huge vehicle.

I felt a bit nickel and dimed with the additional costs of items. I felt a little let down by the staff.

Property host was very hospitable.

We had a wonderful stay at the Arroyo Vista Inn. The location was perfect as we had an event at the Rose Bowl Stadium. The grounds were serene and quiet and the room was really nice. The breakfast was excellent every morning. Thank you to Janice and family. We will return.

Beautiful location that is close to great restaurants. Nice sized rooms.

This hotel was adorable. I loved the neighborhood. It was my first stay in that part of Pasadena and I loved the opportunity to explore. We only stayed one night, but other than the driveway (That added to the charm a little) that was a little scary for someone not used to a one way road. It was amazing. Beautiful native trees surrounded the property and gave it a relaxed out of the way feeling. The hose was a great conversion and I could see it being fun to stay in for a week and enjoy the beautiful lobby. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it or stay there again.

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.

Location perfect for us.

Very lovely Bnb. Quiet and feels like you're not in southern CA at all.

Unique and beautiful, convenient to everything, and dog friendly! Plus…. KILLER waffles for breakfast, and delightful staff. What more could you ask for?

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.

Great owners- friendly. Breakfast was delicious!

What a wonderful stay at Arroyo Vista Inn. Five stars all around! I wish we could extend our stay. We felt so taken care of and cozy staying at the Inn. We also loved lingering in the morning and enjoying a lovely Sunday brunch.

I like that it was set up on a hill and relatively quiet. Where it fell short was in the area of service. What was promised to be a daily wine and cheese happy hour turned out to be bagged snacks and having to request more wine to be brought out. If not, it was simply what was left in the bottles from the day before.
