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

Unique 10 room guesthouse converted from a beautiful Pasadena home. Great location, fine breakfast, quiet and a wonderful staff. Our 11# shitzu felt right at home. Highly recommend! Mark , Lorane and Lacy

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.

a bit of country in the city
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.

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.

It’s a nice inn, but some things to note…No daily house keeping and the shower soap dispensers weren’t working in my unit. Discovered that out while already in the shower though later I found shampoo /conditioner toiletries in the hallway cabinet. It’s great that it’s feels private, but you are mostly on your own as there’s hardly any customer service. Also the piano shown in the pictures is there for decor only, as it was so dirty and in such poor condition it’s hardly playable, which was unfortunate.

California Weekend of Fun!!
I loved my stay at Arroyo Vista Inn! Beautiful property, beautiful rooms, wonderful location. The Inn was very clean, the host was very nice. The only thing I would like to comment on was the breakfast. The food was plentiful, but I wish we had more choices for things like oatmeal, muffins, juice. I wish we were given more options, including lighter menu choices.

Arroyo Vista Inn
Second time there. Was excellent. Only improvement needed is how to work the TV/cable and control. Tried to get TV to turn on, it was after 7 pm and no one was available to help. Sent multiple emails requesting assistance to the after hours contact; received one email saying they’d contact the housekeeper. Never received a call or visit… Finally saw another guest who helped me solve the problem.
