do not go here!

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.
This sat on the front porch as long as we were there
this is right outside our room

Beautiful and peaceful oasis ... until it wasn't

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!!!

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.

Quaint and Delightful

This place was a found gem. It's family-run and has everything I needed. Located in South Pasadena and close to the 110 Freeway, it's easy to access Downtown LA, Pasadena, or to pick up the 10 Freeway and head toward the beach/SantaMonica.

Nice house odd feeling

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.
