Arroyo Vista Inn - South Pasadena, California

ALFONSO S.

Es un hotel encantador, con unos dueños bastante atentos y que tienen bastantes detalles, aunque cometieron un error con nosotros, que nos complicó un poco la estancia. Perdieron nuestra reserva y nos enviaron la primera noche a un motel de calidad claramente inferior. Tras esa noche, la dueña nos llamó al día siguiente para que ya por fin fuéramos a alojarnos. A partir de ese día todo fueron amabilidad y buenas atenciones. La habitación es muy agradable y cómoda, aunque carece de nevera y microondas privados. La limpieza es excelente y el servicio es bueno. Es de los hoteles, de los que he estado, que más se esmera en dar desayunos variados, pero siguen siendo los desayunos de siempre de colegio basados en huevos, fruta troceada, tostar panes, panqueques, algún muffin, cereales y yogures, si bien un día había croissanes caseros que no estaban mal. Por otro lado, es un hotel que cuenta con un piano de media cola, algo desvencijado, pero en el que se puede tocar un poco. Respecto a la primera noche que tuvimos que pasar en otro hotel, finalmente y tras reclamar, recibimos una compensación económica, por lo que el hotel Arroyo Vista Inn se portó bastante bien asumiendo el error cometido y tratando de solucionarlo.

Pésima experiencia

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.

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.

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.

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.
